Guest chapter 1 . 2/4/2013 That was so sad :'( really nicely written |
Euphoracle chapter 6 . 4/18/2011 Sebastian is a childish fool, but at least he follows Ciel into death. Powerful story. Thanks for posting it. |
up-and-moving chapter 6 . 3/19/2011 Argh... *growls* If you weren't such an amazing author, I would surely hate you for reducing me to tears over a fanfiction *ashamed* Trust a gorgeous writer to play with your emotions *frowns* That was very cruel thing you wrote, congrats) *in dire need of fluff* |
Black-Neko-Chan chapter 6 . 2/18/2011 Ohhh, this is so, so beautiful. I've read a lot of fanfics for Kuroshitsuji, but this appeals so much to the dark and angsty things I love reading. Fluff is good at all, but this, THIS is where it's at. Beautiful. There are no other words than to say this is sheer art. You're writing style is marvelous. I have to admit that there were some moment where I was confused, but that was because I'm so used to reading through things and understanding exactly what the author is saying right away that I no longer feel the need to pace myself. Once I slowed down and stopped to think about the different things you were doing in this I found myself following right along with it. The way you wrote this is just brilliant. It gives you just a taste of everything and leaves the reader to figure the rest out of their own. Agh, I want to say much more, but I can't think of the words to describe it! But I love it! Immortality and the despair of the person whose gained it (and it's always unwanted, I've noticed), is something I'm usually heavily drawn to, because it's such a hopeless situation, watching the people around you die and knowing that you won't be able to join them. You portrayed that hopelessness wonderfully, and the emotion too~! Sebastian's were good, making him understand that he wants to keep Ciel alive out of curiosity (or so he says) and that he wants to hurt him and be with him at the same time, but not really understanding or wanting to understand what it means until it's too late. It fits his character perfectly I think, making him not too happy or nice or in love. And Ciel! His feelings get across so well without it not being from his POV at all. His take a bit more thought to get completely, but again, that hopelessness and the love he does feel for Sebastian and want to keep him to himself... all of it was soo good. Seriously, words cannot do justice to this, and everything I want to say and spazz about in my head sounds so good, but I can't really transfer it to this review. But I love this a lot, and it is most definitely one of the best, dark, and tragic fanfics I've read. |
loki lee chapter 6 . 10/22/2010 Wait so like they were alive and not aging for a long long time and then after Ciel became a prostitute and Finnian died and Ciel and Sebastian had three weeks of reasonable happiness... CIEL WENT AND KILLED HIMSELF AND SEBASTIAN'S GOING TO UM, well, he's a demon so I don't know if he can die but FOLLOW? Man this was incredible to read, I was kinda confused, but when it started to make vague sense I was so drawn into the universe you created I want more! MOAR! (I'm so greedy ._.) Such a great read. |
lily-75161 chapter 6 . 9/30/2010 This was a beautiful, but agonizing story to sit through. I'd leave a longer review, if I weren't at such a loss for words right now. My heart aches for Ciel...I desperately hope this isn't anything like how the true ending of Kuroshitsuji will go. One of the best pieces of fanfiction I've ever read, and that's from a few thousand stories perused over a decade. In fact, only one other story comes to mind that has near this level of pain and beauty in it. |
VivaLaQueen chapter 6 . 12/9/2009 I just have to say one thing, bravo. You have no idea how many stories I have read and none of them shows so much emotions like you do. You're so macabre that it adds so much more interest to story which is a good thing because it's different. It's not the same old thing, it's something that you would not expect at all. Seriously, it's hard to find good authors that write well written stories. You are one of those authors. Even though Sebastian killed himself, you put him in character. In my mind I wouldn't think that he would but just the way you write him and the way you describe scenery's, it made me believe he would. This story and the rest of your oneshots has made me actually feel emotions for the characters. They have surprised me and just made me get more into writing and I want to thank you because of that. You are the only author in Kuroshitjusi that has really earned my respect. I hope to see more of you work. |
e313 chapter 6 . 11/1/2009 this story was fantastic in the resolution of the ending in canon; i found it fascintating and an enjoyable read, but the ending confused me a bit. surely there is no point in a demon 'killing' themselves us they can simply walk into hell, and Ciel certainly would no go to heaven; of course there is the point that if the contract still keeps his soul would just go to Sebastian at the death of his body. So...is Sebastian about to use his blood to heal Ciel once more? and i have to admit to not truly understading why Ciel kicked him out all those years ago in the first place... enjoyed the read nevertheless and i thank u for sharing. |
PurplexMirage chapter 6 . 10/27/2009 Ugh, Sebby killed himself! And so did Ciel. Poor Ciel. T.T I love your writing! They're always so in character. And I can't even begin to think how Ciel feels. Being the last one to die. By the way, just a curious question. When you wrote (I forgot what chapter, might even be the last one) that all of his family have left [e.g. his mother, father, the marchioness]. I noticed that you had left out Elizabeth? I always thought that Ciel considered her to be very, very important to him. |
zerokanda chapter 6 . 9/4/2009 I'm lost! So Ciel got Sebby to leave for no reason? The latest chapter. Is it the present? Or is it the past? Because I think I'm seeing both present and past. Sebby got a new master, then the 'past' which I think is the past, Ciel wants Sebby back. Is that the past or the present? Andand, the last part "He had lived and breathed in a dream that lasted a hundred years, and he had yet to awaken from it." - Was is literal? Or was it figurative? It seems to be figurative, but the parts are a little, uhh, let's say, incoherent. Ergo, it seems rather literal, whatever the case. And you haven't revealed why Ciel got Sebby to leave all of a sudden. I mean, it's kinda weird. I know people were dying and all, but all the same, makes no sense for him to get Sebby to leave, and he closed that gargantuan company of his too! Was it so that it wouldn't seem queer to the public that the Phantomhive successor never got old? Or was Ciel just plain tired by all these years kinda thing? |
blueray chapter 6 . 9/1/2009 Wow. I purposely read it again from the first chapter. I'll be honest, it felt sometimes to be meandering and drawn out, but the end was beautiful. 'Until the bitter end, I will follow you.' Haunting. And the way you've described some scenes, they just play out like a film in my mind and its just so perfect. _ Thanks for an amazing(if not confusing! :P) fic. I look forward to more. |
LovelyDescet chapter 6 . 8/31/2009 I loved this story.. and the ending chapter was fantasic. I just loved how you protayed Ciel and Sebastian in this and how possesive Sebby is over his master. Good work. Any tips you can give on how to become a good writer? ~Lovely. (Apperantly, my account logged itself out.. strange.) |
Chubby-King-Chocobo chapter 6 . 8/30/2009 So much melancholy in this story. Love it, love it, love it. It really follows the romantic mood of the victorian era in which Kuroshitsuji is set. The gradual mounting of tension of life than finally the release in death, beauty and degradation. The last italisized line itself was also beautful, the implications of Sabastian's actions were really heart warming/wrenching. Though I wouldn't wish for such an ending, it was appropriate...though Sabast never really did get a chance to devour the soul he longed for for so long. A pity? or just a different kind of aestetics for the 'devil to the core.' Thank you. |
Koolneko22 chapter 6 . 8/30/2009 I knew this couldn't end happily... So sad... But hopefully Sebastian can follow Ciel to where he went in death... I loved it. Good job. |
Ifern chapter 6 . 8/30/2009 You perfectly handled the end. You can be proud of your story. But I just can't stop crying. I tried to, really. |
