omg i’ve finally found for this fic! I remember reading this before and it made me feel so much emotions lol I’m a writer myself and i wish i could write something like this where the angst is just.. so written well! :DDDD THAT HITS YOU RIGHT IN THE FEELS

I read the whole fic but i just cant help the part when he lets his mom touch his face, his eyes closing in surrender and his thoughts slip to a memory of old of his mom and his humanity here is so strong so clear and i loved it. Watch him so slowly slip back to sentimentality and emotions as he acquieces for a few moments. I honestly agree with someone on the internet in that if they had more moments of him and his sister or family, we’ll end up seeing just how normal this kid was, is, and we can’t have that haha this was amazing, your words were beautiful and strong in emotions and character. all the times we talk like izaya is a kid when it hits me he’s an adult already, coming home when he’s sick. The pull is strong despite having other ambitions. Still a child. Broke his record of 3 overnight stays haha. Once again amazing, i’m so glad i got to read this

So, I know I'm pretty late commenting this story, but I've just finished the last season of DRRR! and I was so disappointed by the way the conflict between Izaya and Shizuo has ended, I needed a consolation. Your story hasn't helped. It hurt me reading about Izaya's mother, and this last chapter, where she's waiting for a phone call that probably will not come, broke my heart a little. Just a little, I swear. Izaya is surely the most fascinating character in DRRR!, and I think you portrayed him just the way he is, complicated, twisted, refusing any form of bond in order to not to be hurt and abandoned.
Thank you for writing this, I really loved it

Why Izaya?
Tut tut!

I'm five years late.
But it doesn't matter, this brought me to tears!

Wow... This chapter is just... Damn. I can't even describe it but I love the way the words just flow together.

That was intense. I gotta say, this fic is pretty good! The emotions... omg I'm bleeding from the heart right now! Izaya loves Observing humans. Yet he's oblivious to the carnage he causes in his own family. And dear Mairu feels everything more keenly - or is just waaay more vocal about - the distress in the family. I'm almost eager for when dad comes home. this oughta be fun. Will Izaya be conscious more in the near future? Though I suppose once he's well enough, he'll just slip away like he's always done. Hmm, it's just so sad.

I read in the Durarara Wiki that Kyouko is the moms name, and Shirou is the dads name.

This story. Oh my goodness.I don't even know what to say. This was a wonderful read and i think you made the connections between Izaya and his mother and the rest of his family really...realistic I suppose.

I loved it.

I love your characterization here. The family dynamic here is very real and it makes sense as backstory for Izaya's character. There is some peace made here, though you are right, it's not a happy story. Not many people depict this wistful side of family, and I think you did it very well.

Ok, I added it to the favorites, read it a long time ago, even saved it on my computer, but didn't post a comment...

Doing it now: THIS is my absolute favorite general Durarara fanfiction*-* Maybe because I'm always sentimental when it comes to family, but I've never seen family fanfiction of any fandoms. And in my opinion Izaya is so... In-Character here. Most fanfic-writer can't pull it off, but you surely did. Don't know what to say anymore, so I'll just stop here.

Thank you very much!

My mind took this in as if it were cannon. It might as well be because OH MY WORD THE QUALITY AND THOUGHT PUT INTO THIS IS PERFECT AND EVERYTHING IS IN CHARACTER AND OMG I AM DOING A CAPS LOCK RANT. Sorry . Your story has given me a lot of feelings. Perfect. You are perfect. Just take all my love. I cannot explain my immense love.

Izaya in a home setting just feels wierd. Putting him in this type of setting AND keeping him in-character is an astounding feat. Very, very well done.

This is the fifth time i read this story and its amazing i love it ! its beautifully written the descriptions the dialogue everything is so rich and deep so poetic that i found myself reading the lines twice for good measure you are a wonderful writer.

This was really good! I love the way you write...you should be proud!
