I loved it, so terrifying, so intense and still delicate.

Two things about this fic strike me as really cool.
1. Shigure comparing himself finding out about Akito and Kureno to a reader finding out his story is a tragedy.
2. Shigure is basically me. Get out all the feelings in your writing. You know he would.

Someone recommended this on tumblr, and I have to say...well done. This is a beautifully terrible snapshot of their relationship in that period.

Ay. Wow. Shigure...Wow. I love how vindictive is. Akito and Shigure are the most fasitinating couple. They hurt each other, yet only want to be the owner of the other's love. I love your writing.

Oh my... Angsty very angsty, me like very much so!

WOW! That was really interesting! I don't really have words to describe this story but rest-assured it was really good.

I... I'm speechless.

This is, by far, one of the best I've read! You're way up there! How can you say it's not good? VERBALLY ABUSE? This is perfect!

"I can be god." -Isn't that... ironic? Frightening? That's Akito's line! I didn't understand at first, but I read some of the reviews and this is Shigure's way of revenge on her and Kureno, isn't it? In all honesty, I still don't completely understand, so please explain a little more on this part.

I'm not sure if I have this right... The couple in the story, how Shigure made him stab her, is that like Shigure's betrayal of Akito? Is that like "He knows," like this is his way of showing he is angry and he will avenge himself? Suddenly I'm tongue-tied trying to... to...

I can't believe this! I just LOVE IT! This is what Shigure means... "I love him, I love him so much that I want to spoil him and mash him to a pulp..." Or something. This is their dark, sinister love with lies, betrayal, secrets, and fear. But it's love, it's their love, and it's special. I can't get enough! AkitoXShigure has always been my favorite! :'D How can I thank you for this beautiful story?

Are you making more? Are you? This might be the perfect story by itself, but I'd love to read more of your work! I'm going to check your profile right now!

There is a very high possibility that i have fallen in love with this story.

I couldn't stop reading it for a second! It's so well-written! This is one of the best Akito/Shigure story's i've read. The way you captured him hurt when he talks to Akito about the power writing gives him, he was so... in character! I LOVED IT! A lot of people fumble his personality, either down play it, or over kill it, but you got it so dead on. _ (he's my favorite... he and Akito, so i'm very happy to have read this!)

Consider this story 'Favorited!' (whatever that means to you, ha ha ha, i'm sure it's become a favorite of so many people that one more isn't a big deal)

Keep writing! It was brilliant!

RAWR! What an awesome take on how he would tell her he knows. I've written about this so many times, and it's never been in such a subtle formula as this. Why hasn't this gotten more reviews? Tsk Tsk... it's criminal. Nice betrayal of both of them, especially since you digressed them back several years. And your writing style is, of course, well articulated for a one shot. Sometimes it's difficult to keep things less convoluted in order to get everything across in a few pages, but you did an amazing job.

This side of Shigure we seldom but know it's there, I think this fic clearly illustrates that. Thanks for the lovely read.

OMGSH, this is wonderful!

This...is one of THE best Akitox Shigure fics I have EVER read. It is so refreshing to find such a well-written, in-character fic with so much depth and originality. You really have no idea.

I am most certainly favoriting this.

Ooh. I liked it.

I want to offer reasons why I liked it, but I'm afraid I'm hopelessly inarticulate. It just... worked really well, I thought. It also showed that Shigure knew exactly how much he was hurting Akito when he slept with Ren. He wanted to hurt Akito - he chose Ren because he wanted to cause Akito as much pain as he could. It's easy to forget that, sometimes. Very vengeful, isn't he?

Anyway...

I just think this was a very true-to-character piece, and I enjoyed reading it.

That was a really good story!

The descriptions of Akito's feeling are very realistic, I could almost feel it myself. The atmosphere is very well done, and the characters are just as I imagin them: Shigure is complex, scary, he likes manipulating others but he suffers in the same time, Akito is fragile, she wants to be the center of his world and hates the fact she can't control him. Well, actually, it's waht I felt personally :)

They are ones of my favorite characters, and it's always nice to read a good story about them and their complex relationship. They are difficult to write about (geez, I don't think that was correct. Sorry for my lame english, I'm actually french and I learnt it at school), so well done and thank you, I really enjoyed your fiction!

um i thought at the end of it, you meant that Shigure knows Akito loves him, but after that very enlightening speach on how you don't know what will happen next, i was wondering if you meant he knew what it was like to be god or something... um anyway that was really, really good. scary. my throat tightened up reading this. maybe it's how true it is, the thing about authors. i should know, i write all the time, and like shigure i even will spend a whole night writing if it means i can finish the story. this was haunting and crazily good. your discriptions are awsome and i'm enviouse becuase i tried this shigure-can-be-god-thru-writing thing in one of my own stories and it didn't come out nearly this good. keep writing!

cheers
