I was more intrigued than anything when I started this fanfiction here (and of course later gave into the temptation to finish it on DreamWidth). I wasn't expecting to enjoy it that immensely. You really did quite a good job making the situation more...acceptable? okay? than just pure adultery. Plus your writing, as always, is really on point. I was pleasantly surprised how in-character everything was even put in out of place situations.

Wonderful job dearest.

Hi :) I just wanted to know if Bonds of War is still a work-in-progress story. I've read it on your dreamwidth and it doesn't seem like a WIP story to me but, on your master writing list, it says the story's WIP. So yeah... just curious if there's more to the story or if it's a mistake and Bonds of War isn't a WIP story anymore.

I'm loving this story, you're a fantastic writer and I hope you choose to go on with this one. :)

Oh my god. This is so wrong because I have a strong believe about being faithful but DAAAAAAAAAAAMN I want to read more!
The build up to this moment has been amazing. You are really an amazing writer :D
Also, I have read in the comments this had a fouth chapter where there was smut so I must beg PLEASE PUT IT UP! XD

I find myself desperate for the next installment and unable to properly review at this stage - but please believe that I have thoroughly enjoyed your story telling and await the next installment as earnestly as Fai awaits Kurogane's return

PS I always found Kuro-Daddy to be overly-attractive for his own good

Didn't this have 4 chapters before? ;_;

Did you move the smuttier one to another site due to ef ef dot net reinforcing their rating rules?

Anyway, I love this story so far, please continue!

I almost died. I cannot believe how mesmerized I am with this fic. You're doing a great fucking job, dude. I honestly am on the edge of my seat here, absolutely craving the next chapter. DAMN.

this is pitiful, I know, but please update soon. This is literally the ONLY story of it's kind. Who knew Kurogane's dad and Fai would be such an obscure yet deliciously attractive pairing. Love, love, love it. Now I'm craving more like it.

And while i'm fan flailing over here, it is beautiful written and a joy to read. Lovely. I cannot wait. I will seriously be watching this fic like a hawn.

Nice job, dude! You've piqued my interested :D

Heey, this was really good! I didn't read this fic for the smut; I read it because I was really intrigued as to how someone could construct a situation where this pairing could possibly work without making it...awful. I didn't think there would be any way this could possibly pan out without sliding down the slope of crack-pairing, but WOW! What a fantastic job! I love how you went the extra mile with the relationship building, creating a scenario within a bigger context where this could happen. I don't know how anyone would ever want to just "skip to the smut" with such a beautifully written fic like this (chapter 2 was my favorite). Also, I think maybe you're being really hard on yourself about the sex scene, based on your author's note. I'll bet you spent a lot of time leading up to writing this moment and then you felt like it didn't add up to the rest of it - that's just your self-criticism talking, and it's WRONG and you shouldn't listen to it, because this was great! There's no such thing as a too long sex scene (haha), and even though this pairing isn't my thing, I can't think of a single thing to complain about. Those HANDS, oh lordy...the part with his hand's on Fai's throat sliding down and - hold up a sec, I'm gonna have a hot flash. Anyways, on a side note, it gave me really great Haruka-Watanuki vibes because of the dynamics of their relationship.

Really awesome job on this; I showed up expecting to witness a train crash and got the socks knocked off me. You made this work so hard, it hurts so good! I hope this isn't the end!

This is one interesting idea you have! It's different and not something that is easily written or to accept but you did it! Can't wait for more :)

please update soon im on my toes ;-;

Hi.

I started reading your story a couple of days ago, and I got caught by it. It is really well written, both, organized and neatly favorites.

I am looking forward to knowing how this lover situation evolves.

See you next chapter.

Hugs.

I just gotta say, I'm amazed. While all your stories are mature, it is not just in content. I have stumbled on way too many fics with just "mature content" and it just annoyed me. I dont WANT that, what I WANT is a story with good writing, proper grammar, good characterization, well thought out ideas, and LOVE not just LUST for goodness sake. If it comes with mature content, so be it, just give me a good story for crying out loud. So, thank you, because you have provided ALL of what I look for in a story, in excellent quantity and quality. I could go on forever about how much I love your writing style, how much I appreciate your version of all the characters, and adore how you ACTUALLY consider and masterfully incorporate what makes the characters them and how it affects them and what they do. But that would take to forever.

Now, for this fic. You took one heck of an awkward/scandalous prompt and put it on its head. You thought out HOW it would work, WHY it would work, and the characters reactions to it. I would have backspaced right away if you had jumped into it. But you didn't. You took your time in order to make it work, for the characters and the audience. The idea of a bonded one it itself is one heck of a foreign idea, and the fact that you presented it as such, with Fai, and slowly convinced him as well as us that is a normal part of their society and therefore acceptable; doing something like that successfully is a feat, and you did it! Sorry that was alot longer than I thought it would be. Can't wait for the next. Thank you!

Another lovely chapter, had a "wahoo!" moment when I saw this was updated hahaa

Fai needs a hug, glad he got one! Might I say the idea of tent ties is genius and also... I can't wait for next chappy! Take your time writing, we shall all be anticipating updates :D

Ahhh~ I just love the scenery you set up! :D It may just be because I'm playing skyrim at the moment, but there's something so familiar and pleasing about a battlefield-turned-camp! I also like that you showed Fai praying - I would never consider him the spiritual type, but you definitely changed my mind today! :) His worship is very authentic, and though some people might not understand the importance of it, I felt the entire time that Fai was simultaneously lightening the load on his shoulders and growing strong with determination. (And, even though I said it was great that you waited to get Kuro-Papa and Fai together, now that you've set it up you better not keep it from us in the next chapter! ;))

Oh my goodness, this is DELICIOUS (I need italics, darnit!). I absolutely adore your portrayal of Lord Kuro-papa, and of his interactions with his son-in-law. Your style of writing is so flowing and descriptive that as soon I reach the end (or current end) of one of your stories, I start clicking back to read it all over again.

Thank you so much for sharing this tale, and I look forward to more of your writing!
