I love it. This honestly could feel canon.

Reading this in 2020. Started to re-read fanfiction stories after they announced the Bleach reboot.

I've forgotten how much I loved this when I first read it. Amazing.

Enchanting! I couldn't wait to get home so I could finish reading it! I loved the descriptive imagery of their Inner Worlds, the suspense, details, and the plot. Loved that you touched on the river of blood-death is simply part of who he is in his life as a soldier. The grammar was refreshingly good, and the characterization was just splendid. I always love when authors make the most of the banter-the obvious, yet hidden, longing they have for one another. I did have a question about the Hollow in Soul Society. I didn't think they were able to trespass, but then again I stopped reading at Fullbring, and you clarified later that it was a prototype of the 12th division. Very clever. You really made these characters come alive. It's been quite a while since I've read such an engaging fic featuring these two. Thank you so much for a wonderful read!

Sooo cute! I love this story I want to read more history like this and better if they are yours ... you are a talented writer and you could describe them as they are in the anime without changing anything about their personality ... I just loved it!

That..was... beautiful... I'm crying... oh you write them so perfectly! Easily one of thd best shunnao fics! Wish it was longer (and a tad more kisses haha) but thats nothing that takes away from it. Superb!

Such a wonderful story ! I love it ~

Every time I read this (yes, I read it multiple times ;), I'm amazed at the intricacies, the thoughtfulness, and everything that makes this fan fiction beautiful. I love the characterization, the sassiness, the heartache. I love how Nanao has a mind of her own and will even go to the lengths of disobeying a direct order from her captain to ensure his survival. I love how they both would do anything to save each other. I love how we were given excerpts of the different possibilities of their meetings and their possible outcomes. Plainly, I just love the entire thing. Please continue to make works like these. It was a pleasure to read!

OMG L LOVED YOUR STORY! I just love how you capture the characters. Right on. I caught myself rereading some lines and just smiling a stupid grin haha. Safe to say this is one of the best no scratch that it is the best fan fiction I have read in a long time.

You should try to write a story about Nanaos inner world tht would be really cool we don't hear enough about her or her sword and stuff.

I loved this story I have read it like 4 times. Haha I love that we get to see so many versions on Shunsui. And i love to image what would happen if they did meet in those time frames. And if u ever want to do a one shot haha take a shot haha. Well anyway just live yur writing very creative.

Damn this story is fantastic ! I'm all teary eyes and happy squeals, you write they're two characters so very very well... I love the way you portray they're relationship, and the inner world travel was fascinating !
Thank you very much for this story, I hope to read more of your Shunsui/Nanao stories !

This is the best ShunNao fic in this genre.
Just perfect.
So in character...
And I really like your version of Nanao's zampakto! It truly resembles her a lot!
Thank you from Russia )

Wow... that was amazing.

It really shows the unspoken depth of their relationship.
I loved how they realized that no matter how they meet or no matter what circumstances arise between them, there will always be the two of them.

that was a nice touch. this is really good. I mean the plot was interesting; it catches attention.

good work, as always.

keep it up!

I am being serious when I say this:

This was, thus far, the best piece of romantic fan fiction I have read. I found myself re-reading lines with my heart pattering away, a silly schoolgirl grin plastered to my face. It was so in character for both of them and it was so beautiful it literally made me tear up a bit. I can't say enough. Perfect!

I almost slid off my seat, it was that good. You really captured the sensuality between the two without even a hint of vulgarity. I am going to finish this story then find everything else you may have written.
