This is just quintessentially Ichiruki. You expertly hit all of their high notes with perfect pitch. I love this.

Great supplement to the first chapter. I particularly enjoyed the second section, where there some embarrassment and Ichigo voicing things they've never said out loud before and how the playful banter is still there. Well done

Very sweet, a great take on their reunion. I love how the words just flowed and it read like poetry. You really got their banter down and how they switch from teasing to serious. Nicely done.

Very heartfelt, especially the first chapter. Your writing style is very poetic, deep, and even somewhat abstract, especially when it comes to writing intimate scenes, which makes both chapters flow very well and makes the piece as whole beautiful to read. Also, you have a way of articulating and describing feelings very well, no matter be it through the words or the small actions of a character (i.e. facial expressions, tone of voice, small touches, etc.). I love it.

Also, I love how you wrote Ichigo and Rukia's relationship as not needing words and that they communicate through "heavy silences and soft gazes." It captures their relationship very well and is very canon. Thank you for such a beautiful story. 3

Man... you are one of my favorite authors on . Even though you said you didn't like this one as much... I still adored it. Both chapters were nicely written (I am not a writer so I yea lol). But so much emotion was put in each chapter. I hardly come across stories on that has as much depth as your stories project. I can't wait to read your other story on the other site. I am sure it will be just as great.

It was very heartwarming c:

i loved it do more ichiruki your excelent. thanks for writing for my reading pleasure

wow this is beautifu;

this chapter was just full of sweetness, I was smiling trough the whole thing. Just as perfect as the first chapter :)

I just loved everything about this! The affection and passion which you wrote perfectly. Great job.

I loved the first chapter of this! The second was like icing on a cake! You are a fabulous writer. there are moments where I'm like "Oh, that was a really great line! I love that line!" Continue writing, if you enjoy it.

Ok, took me this long because I wanted to write this review in peace and try to give it justice XD

This was fantastic, my chest is all warm after reading:3 Starting with the beginning, with Rukia thinking of the reasons she cherishes Ichigo the most for. Because as hot as he is, that's not even half of what there is to love about him; and Rukia sure loves him for all the right reasons. Nice way to put in the unwavering heart too ;)

I loved the way you included the Ginjou dilemma and, most of all, how Ichigo is thankful to Rukia for saving HIM.

Ichigo saying how he missed Rukia, and how it's 'cute' that she's embarrassed was ADORABLE. And in-character, because Ichigo is a sap like that. It's also in-character for Rukia to play tsundere xD Also loved how Ichigo later says she doesn't have to say it, how he 'gets it' is very sweet and very...them, I guess lol

The small scene of their zanpakutos was great once again- headcanon ftw!xD

Finally, that last scene...AAAHHHH! So much love! So much IchiRuki sweetness! Ichigo saying how he hates goodbyes, and the description of him as 'boyishly awkward but always genuine'- that was so spot-on Ichigo I wanted to jump into the story and glomp him just for being his adorable self (-so much fangirling going on over here XD). And then of course, the silent promise that he'll stay with Rukia as long as she wants, plus the affirmation that he would never make a promise he can't keep; once again, it's just so ICHIGO. If I didn't love Rukia even more than I love Ichigo, I might be inclined to hate her for getting this guy xD

Ah well, what can I say? Amazing work, as usual, your M-rated stuff is anything but tacky, just naturally sweet. Thank you for writing )

Awww this second part was as great as its precedent. I thought it was cute of Ichigo to surprise Rukia with a visit. Haha at him for making himself at home in her room. The make out scene was nice, and I liked how you included a little of Ginjo in here (although indirectly). Good that Ichigo wanted to stay with her longer, so no goodbye for now. Yay! All in all, these two are just too cute for words, and I just love how you write them. )

This was real cute! I loved it x)

After reading "Roadmaps", you left me with high expectations for this story. You did NOT let me down! Absolutely beautiful! I love their exchanges, I love the emotions in the words, and I love the heat in their actions. _~ Sexy and fluffy at the same time. I love where this seems to be going (fight to be with her forever, Ichigo!) and I hope it continues. I really want to ask for more, please!
