Okay this will be a long shot in the pitch dark whether you ever read this or if you're even active online anymore but it's me - and anyone who knows me knows I have a /lot/ of feelings about comments and their importance. And as the utter bastard who wrote heirverse and broke people with fic- a lot of feelings about this ship :)
I came back to this as I hit a massive wall with my own stuff. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to carry on for a little while either. And then I read this.
This story is so good! Its also the one that dragged me onto this ship. It's my go to fic when I want all my favourite tropes. Chesmaster Aizen. Gin trying to play the game. I love it so much. And you still kill me with the suspense just everything about this fic. It's just stuck with me. All the subtext and mind games and of course the smut ;) Aizen caring more than he likes ro admit and Gin grabbing the wrong end of the stick... when he impresses Aizen itll be quite the show indeed. As always I love your work.
And again massive shot in the dark but I really hope you'll come back to this one day.

Thedrunkenwerewolf sent me your way. This first chapter was totally amazing! I really like how you have Aizen and Gin interact. I love their time together like this. So sexy

Lovely story so far, I'm definitely enjoying the way you describe the emotions that they're all dealing with. I like how it's not pure erotica, that there's actually a plot of sorts too.

I had one suggestion: you might want to add a noncon warning for the scene between Aizen and Orihime, as that's definitely rape there.

This is my first time reading this story, i usually prefer all through bottom Gin in a story, so when I read Gin topping Ulquiora(?), I kinda scroll through the sex scene but I was so thankful and relieved that you made the pairing (ginxulqui) flexible, and that I got to read Ulquiora (I seriously can't remember the correct spelling for his name ) topping gin, which can be seen rarely in the Bleach fandom.

oh and gotta love grimmgin moments
.
Anyway, all in all, I really love the story and can't wait to read the continuation to this XD
.
p.s. sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language

You're killing me with all this suspense you know. But I like all the little additions you've put into Las Noches, and the staff and just the general architecture, like the gardens. Also, yay for sequels!
I did see a few errors but they weren't that intrusive. I can pick them out im a pm though if errors in your works bother you.

As much as I would have enjoyed some AiGin action, I understand the need to hold off on it. Gin has a show to put on after all, and he wants full impact. I'm loving how Gin is playing this, drawing on all Aizen's references, telling his story. The best bit has to be where he mentions "I am your night gladiolus" for the effect, and because of the gladioli meaning in the flower language we discussed earlier. There are various contexts and definitions on it, like so many of the flowers, but the one I like best is the one I told you of. Because it's perfect.

I really hope Orihime can find some happiness. I know she feels very used and like a huge idiot for falling for that trick, but I hope she can find something new in Las Noches. She knows san only go forward, she has to make the best of where she is now. Make the best out of a shitty situation. She is tough though, she won't let this break her. I love how her thoughts can drift to silly places still "maybe I taste like bean paste" so that shows me she'll be alright. She'll survive. Who knows, maybe she can end up happier than my Orihime does.

Sequel, please? ;) Tnx for this chapter! :D And Happy New Year! :):):D

Amazing fanfic, thanks for update! :)))))

Alright let me get this out of my system -now- so you only have to deal with me on this subject once. AHHHHHH! THE SUN REFERENCES! Oh my god. The fucking. Sun references. Oh god. My smile is rivaling Gin's and I giggled like a loony on the re-read to organise my thoughts. You know I am a sucker for 2 things: backstory, and references to the sun, moon and stars. Well, you read THOLN... you already know this from when I had him make the sun... and some other stuff that comes later that I'm not sure you've read yet... And some stuff to come... But still.
Backstory adds depth and the latter I have always liked for the poetry of it. Do both and I am putty in your hands. “I wonder if the sun is like that smile... maybe Aizen-sama really is our sun.” is the best line, but “Aizen taichou was his sun” makes me happiest. I'm still in the middle of THOLN sun-moon-stars stuff and outlining a chapter, so this is probably making me react like this and get so giddy, (usually I would be much calmer), but I just aasdgasfd. I just... I love this. So much. I do not care if its a winter sun, summer sun, total eclipse of the sun, doesn't matter. I'll take what I can get. And that's usually little enough.
Though there is something a bit sad about Aizen being a winter sun, giving out just enough warmth to keep going, not warming Gin through fully.

Alright. That's done. Onto the other things.

The night gladiolus. I like how Aizen says “My” night gladiolus. The possession in there just screams at you. And the description of Aizen dominating Ulqui- “His marks. His brands, his dominion, forever.” That line gave me some nice shivers.

“some first date, ne?” made me smile. Gosh, he comes out with some lines.

I've noticed people like to make Aizen a calligraphist. I was intrigued at the phrase you'd have him write. I wondered for a bit what he'd go with, but the one he landed on is very apt. He really does want Gin to plot against him. I was also not disappointed when Aizen saw that kiss. The player in me smiles at this because there will be consequences for this. Potentially dire ones. I want to see how this plays out.

I love how Ulqui is genuinely worried about Gin following his injury. There is something there, despite the shadow man in this theatre. And as always the Gin/Ulqui action is always hot. Damn, woman you are good. I'm looking forward to the next arc. And the asides. And well everything really. I missed your updates.

On another note, I am happy you feel better about the writing. I too, have gone through phases of hating everything and wanting to re-do it all/detete everything. Some of my writing is 8 years old and god I can't even look at it. I think we started our stories in the same year :) So I know how it is. It's awful. You just do what you feel is best.

Oh god why do I always write massive essays on this? Everyone else probably writes like 1 to 5 lines... Anyway. I'm doing these before I start writing my updates. So I don't forget. Once I get sucked into writing I usually don't resurface until I finish whatever I am working on. So before my story takes hold of me, lets do this.

First of all you updated! SDFFLDSKZK; I am SO happy to see you back.

And you open up with Kyouka Suigetsu, my favourite zan, looking glamorous as always. She's always so stylish, I love her dress effect and the subtle hue changes. Very nice.

Aizen wants to both have his cake and eat it. (I think this is the expression meaning to want both things). Naturally, he would. Given his massive ego and god complex. Though I think there is a line missing though, just before he says “Of course I am.” I'm going to assume Kyouka is saying “You are angry.” It's interesting to see at least a little bit of his jealousies showing.

Oh Grimmjow... I'd love to tell him the words of Tywin Lannister: “Any man who must say 'I am the king' he is no true king.” But I'd highly likely get punched in the face. Or die. Or both.

I'll say my piece on the sun references later. Otherwise I will probably annoy you and just repeat myself and be all gush. And when I gush I mean I fucking gush. I'm trying to be serious and make intelligent comments here, but I'm stuck in THOLN AiGin sun-moon-stars land at the moment which is NOT helping things. At all.

I do love your use of italics (on the Aizen-sama touch me..." section) to show the chaotic thoughts. Shows everything colliding together in his mind.

I'm liking the developments between Gin/Ulqui. And the comparisons between Ulqui and Aizen-sama. Gin also wants to have both his cake and eat it, much like someone else. Actually everyone wants to have their cake and eat it.

“Aizen-sama loves games, you know” damn straight. You go Gin, beat him at his own game. I want to see how he will attempt this. I want him to succeed. I don't really want to think what will happen if he fails. I'd also love to know what Szayel is planning.. This is so intriguing. What actually IS on that video? And how will everything play out. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Tnx sooo much for update! :) Great work! :D

I really wish you finished it, the story is really amazing.

WOW this story is great and i like it!

i like the part Aizen's being jealous i hope Grimmjow will raped Gin... hahahaha.

Sorry to say i dont like Gin and ulquiorra pair but dont worry i enjoy reading your story ";

but i'm happy many espada like gin .

pls. update soon i'm so excited to know what will happen next

I should go away for work more often... everybody updates everything. Anyway. Sorry I am ridiculous late reviewing this. But let my essay make up for it. I have much to say on both chs so I'll just comment on everything. But first of all, glad you're feeling better. That doesnt sound like a very nice illness. But I am glad you're back and kicking here.

so... lets start with that lemon hm?

Holy. Freaking. Hell. Words fail me. (and I do realise and appreciate the irony of writing my essay length usual comments after having said that). I did not expect Ulqui to look like... that... in -that- kind of scene. It was different. Good, but different. Though “good” is an understatement. But good is the only word I can seem to be able to find for it right now. Usually I am never short of words... why can i never find any words to explain Moonbathing to somebody? Its a problem when I can only seem to find the word “good” which explains nothing of what i think. Normally I just say “oh here's a link just read it and trust me, she's amazing”.

But that last scene was just mindblowing. I would never have thought of doing that.

You know I like me some intense smut scenes, and this is one of my faves from you. If the AiGin one (if I am safe in assuming there is one) is as intense as this, I'll be very happy. Might die, might gush en review, but will be happy.

I know its hard coming back after being away from writing for a year, but you just keep getting better. Its all practice and getting back into the flow of it. Thats all it is.

So, what I liked. That mirror bit. This line says why: “Then again, it allows me to see his face through the multiple stages of beautiful agony and ecstasy.” This was a really nice touch. It made for some very nice visuals. You know I'm very visual when it comes to description and all the rest of it, so you have no idea how much i love this. I pictured a small/medium sized mirror floating around and it just made the scene for me.

I'm just waiting for Grimmjow to come in screaming and ruin the moment now. I'm just waiting for it. With much excitement.

Hmm. “playing the show”... Gin's doing a lot of that lately. I suspect this is all just a show, really. Just to try provoke Aizen in revenge for pushing Gin's buttons. Hence Aizen's jealousy. Just a theory though. Could be waaay off, and probably is. I just want to see what's actually on 'Szayels secret camera porn' as we like to call it now. I reckon more illusionwork is in play but I have no idea how. Just surprise me. I do wonder how you will fix the AiGin again though, I'm working with a love polygon too and god its complicated. I honestly have no clue how you do it. Mine has many holes atm. And spans for much longer.

I do love your Shinsou though. He is so far different from mine. He's always fun to read. Like the “is this the bit where you two rub your...” comment. He makes me laugh. Another thing that made me laugh is Grimmjow going “Whats Ulquiorra's prissy ass doing here?” But the “Kuchiki priss” line near killed me. Its a running joke between me and my brother calling each other priss in attempt to be insulting since we were kids. (I know, says so much for our maturity. We're /supposed/ to be adults now) But the line still makes me laugh. That's the first time i've seen that word in a story... I don't know if humour was your intention there, but still.

Ah... I have nothing much else to say. I just wonder what Aizen will do next, and again the camera porn, so just update when you can I guess. I shall be waiting *smiles*

Update! Please. I love this story

I love the touch of Grimm's lust towards Gin. I think Gin is really falling for Ulqui even though at first it was only to vent his jealousy towards Aizen n Inoue. I love Gin, hope u can continue it n make the sequel :)
