OH HEAVENS, KILL ME NOW! DX

Or you can, if you want, Ash, since I’m sure you succeeded in sending little word daggers through my chest. Might as well stab me in the heart while you’re at it, huh?

Firstly, I hope you accept my apologies. Frankly, if I were you, I wouldn’t, but I’ll take this time to beg. And grovel. (I hear that’s the new trend these days.) I can’t believe I had the AUDACITY and the NERVE to be late in reading this fic. LATE BY LIKE 21 DAYS! I hope this review/ groveling-ish apology makes up for the delay. But really? I don’t think it can.

Oh, Ashy, I’ve missed you. (and your writing) But mostly you. T3T

I loved the title. There was something very unique about it— it clearly points to Nattie and Mikan, but it could also be not. It’s like a subtle name for the pair. I’ve never seen it used before and that makes is awesomely original. :)

There’s something about your stories that really make one think. It’s like this: you write the plot and everything, but you leave many things open ended so that us opinionated readers can imagine the rest ourselves. There’s also another thing about your descriptions— they’re all carefully worded and adorned with details that paint pictures in people’s minds.

The interaction between Nattie and Mimi at the end was so full of passion and desperation that it surely fueled my tear ducts to start going on overdrive. Also, I loved the fact that Nattie only said like five words to her but still managed to make Mikan feel the way she did. (and make me into a pile of mushy-gushy-ness)

I love fics with the setting during the Alice War. They’re usually heavy and dramatic and almost ALL those fics make me into a blubbering mess, but I think what makes me saddest is the emotional and psychological pain people have to deal with, in thinking of death and suffering, and knowing that any day could be your last. You solidified those thoughts into words better than anything I have seen, and it makes me so proud that I know such a brilliant author like you. (*heart*)

AND SERIOUSLY, THANKIES SO MUCH FOR THE DEDICATION. It was definitely a pleasant surprise because I expected nothing like it, but it made my day, it did. :D You make me so happy, Ashy. I love you. *heart* And I’ll be there when you need me to. I’ll be there, sending you virtual blankets and hot chocolate and give cyber death threats to people who hurt you. X)

Lastly, you’re back. XD You have NO idea how much my heart went into a flipping frenzy when I got one of those alerts for this story. NO IDEA. :D You’re very brilliant, did you know that? I’m glad you decided to spare us very hungry readers some good GA fanfiction. It’s certainly been a while, but as always, you don’t disappoint. :)

Lovey lovey lovey lovey (x1000)

Ria/Elles

P.S. Why do I have the feeling I’m getting crazier and crazier? O.O.
P.P.S. Happy Thanksgiving Have a good turkey! :D

Cute! I was so happy when he came home! I thought you would be mean and have him killed. Or have her wake up and have him not there you know...

Aww! That was so cute and sad!

Yo.

The beginnings of my incoherent review start right about here. :P

You know, you write like a pro. You've got all of the emotions of the characters as if you've lived their lives fifteen times over, and the technique of John Green. I just fell in love with the characters (even though right now, Mikan isn't my fave character.)

I love how you mentioned that Mikan is just a little girl who has no ability to help out in any way. I mean, in all honesty, she really is sitting by the sidelines, feeling "sad" that all of this death exists around her. But in her defense, there's a lot of psychological damage that can happen to you if you know your loved ones are out there, fighting for you. Dying. For you. I mean, yeah, Mikan sure as hell isn't fighting the war physically, but sometimes that proves to be easier than fighting the war emotionally. :(

I know this is a super random thing, but I just wanted to say that I kinda enjoyed reading it in Jinno's POV at the beginning there. I mean, we followed his train of thought for a bit, which I thought was just SO MUCH FUN. Because I love Jin-jin. And you know, he deserves a little love every so often.

OMG, I legit-ly thought you were going to end it with it being an illusion or something. That would have sucked. :( I mean, OMG. I would have cried. I already cried with him being ALIVE, so imagine what would've happened if he had been dead. This story had more of a grasp on me than the manga itself, I should think. XD

I think it's pretty awesome that you chose to use "Flowers" on Fire as your title, instead of the usual, "Oranges In the Sun", or that kind of madness. Granted, it's a good title, but I like how you made it so that her last name was incorporated into the title, and not her first. It gives off the kind of detached sort of idea, which works in the sense that it gives off the kind of omniscient vibe in this fic. If ya know what I mean.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DEDICATION. :') You make me so proud to be your wifey. Or your husband-y. Whoever is the man in this relationship. You write so damn well, you... make me so happy.

I love you.

I don't know if it's fanfiction netiquette to curse, so I'll just improvise.

By golly Ash. I don't know if it's okay to say this, but if this is what you bring with you whenever you come back, then please, feel free to be the prodigal daughter over again insert heart here, just in case FFN edits my review and turns my heart into just a greater than sign orz. It wouldn't matter because we'd welcome you back with WIIIDE open arms. We'd miss you a whole lot when you're gone though, so don't be gone for too long.

And insert the curse I might not be allowed to use here hell, how do you write like that? Really, you've got to teach me. It's as if your arm protruded from my screen and stabbed be in the chest and you held my heart with your hands and I couldn't do anything but enjoy the pain. ;A;

I'm glad you didn't crush my heart though, even though you could. With the way the GA manga is going, there's like, a 40% chance Natsume's going to die, and if he does, I want to find an escape in fanfiction because no matter how mainstream the guy is, he kind of grew on me, and now I just can't see Mikan without him. (Though I would like to see her get with Ruka so I can ship Hotaru with Hayate.)

Gosh your writing style is so descriptive. It makes falling in love with the characters and the scenes so easy for the readers! Man, you're an inspired girl. Where do you get these things?

...Is this even a review anymore. OTL I leave the longest and most un-review-ish reviews ever. OTL I'm sorry I'm probably spamming you right now. Asdfghjkl.

Last words though. KEEP WRITING, okay? Keep writing as long as it makes you happy. FFN needs writers like you.

Your Overlord,
Mishaa (...it's so weird signing things with my penname.)
