Hey! I remember reading the first two chapters of this tic when I was just getting into Gintama all those years ago and after four years I found it again! I just wanted to say that it's really amazing you're still updating this and I really think the format is cool! I also like your portrayal of Shinpachi and Takasugi as well, I never thought these combination of characters would blend so well but you've got it down to an art! the first two chapters are my absolute favourite pieces, I wanted to ask if you'd be ok with fan art? I'd love to make some of your fic, much love and so glad to see you still writing!

THAT WAS SO NICE I oh my god. i usually absolutely despise the whole omegaverse thing, and wasn't really sure about reading the last two chapters. but i am so, so glad i did because this was beautiful! shinpachi was so strong and kind and wonderful, and shinsuke's character development was just fantastic. i liked bansai's role here too, and some of shinpachi's monologues were just so beautiful and inspiring. i also especially loved the thing with the coffee! thank you so, so much for writing this!

That was so, so beautiful. Great job!

That was a really good idea for a heartwarming story! I've always thought that Shinpachi really deserves some appreciation for always helping everyone out-especially his lazy new family-and it was interesting to see things from Takasugi's perspective, as it has been kind of hard for me to understand him and his actions completely. The thought that Shinpachi might have just as well ended up on his side with the same admiration and love he has for Gintoki was interesting and I gotta say I agree to that. Good thing he was taken in by Gintoki though, so he could be celebrated as much as he deserves!

You wrote this year too! I'm so happy. Like, really super extra happy. All this time (from June, if I remember correctly) I've been afraid that there won't be a next part. I have yet to read it 'cause finding out there are new chapters I just couldn't help but thank you in advance.
Thank you!

I AM SPEECHLESS...

I've waited almost one year, and this is beyond my expectations XD you're so damn genius, Moriyasha-san! (please, let me called you that)
Just so you know, I even made a status in my sns and the comment sections are full of my rant, my opinion, my fangirl-ing, about this chapter! X'D
I don't really know about this omegaverse thing, but, well I could grasp the important point from your work.

First thing first, you're so brilliant for made Shinsuke as an alpha, not a typical alpha, cause his father treatment (?) and such. He's a frail alpha, and somehow it fits him very well. His relationship with Bansai and Matako (when he's going rampage) and with Gin, Zura, Saka (in school) kind of remind me about Kiheitai and Jouishishi lol. And, and, and, I laughed so hard when I know that Gin is an omega (I always thought that omega must be a girlish boy type or what but this fiction has proved me wrong, okay).
When you slightly told about 'soulmate' stuff, I can't help but squeal 8"")))) Shinpa-san even hasn't appeared yet and you've already make me ship them so much. What's wrong with you? (no, no, what's wrong with me actually :""))
And then, Shinpachi came to the class, and you know what? I REAAAALLLLLYYY LOVE THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE HIS CHARACTER. He's being kind aloof yet wise and mature. He's so freaking cool, I don't know but he complemented Shinsuke; they'll make a perfect couple!
I almost felt from my chair when I read that Shinsuke felt like... hot. haha, I know, right? I felt that too.
Don't forget the moment when (finally) Shinsuke looked right at Shinpachi's eyes! Dramatic, I could feel the tension, I'm in love (and it was just an eyes!), help :"")

[Shimura walked with him. Not too close, not too far away. It was inside his usual bubble of personal space, but it didn't grate on his nerves. It was comfortable.]
simple yet sweet. I like this moment.

[Shinsuke was pretty sure Shimura was an Alpha. He thought he was a Beta at first, given his plain and simple—yet oddly handsome—appearance.]
I KNOW HE'S GOING WRONG. I'M SURE OF IT. AND YES, HE'S WRONG! X")))
welcome to the world, Shinsuke, when the omega look this frigging badass lol. Seriously, I love the moment of truth hahah.

There's two, yes, two, the most favorite scenes, in my opinion. First, when Shinpachi scolded (?) Shinsuke's father (Bansai's comment make it perfect!) and the last scene, the revelation scene about they're really a SOULMATE (thank God, I'm alive :"))))

Your fanfiction (this fanfiction), has made me the way I'm now, the hardshipper of TakaShin (yes, thank to you TakaShin is my OTP), and every chapters are precious to me thank you, really!

Last, um, sorry, I think?, because I wrote such a long, trashy review like this. I can't help it! :")(yeah, right.)
I couldn't wait for the next chapter and next chapters in the next year too lol. Once again, thank you, Moriyasha-san!

-with love, Moon.

THANK YOU!
I look forward to these every year and you never let me down. It was great this time to see the story from shinsuke's perspective. And shinpachi yelling at his family literally made my day. Thank you so much I look forward to the next part.

This is really creative! I never thought I'd like a story about pachiboy this much. Shinpachi does needs some loving on here so I'm glad he's getting it in this! Also love the eyepatched destroyer's presence and interactions here, these are really interesting scenarios. Looking forward to that update in two weeks! ;D

This was really good. I actually love reading about these two together. I'm really looking forward to reading this years.

I stumbled upon this story by accident but you have no idea how happy I am that I did! I especially liked the first and the third installlments. I love they way you pictured Shinpachi at Kiheitai and can't help but wonder - where did the idea come from?

But I reeeeealy love it. :)

this masterpiece...how can I just found this fict recently? :') I like this... No, I love this! This fict makes me ship ShinsukeXShinpachi xD All of the stories are sweet. Though I expect something more with their relationship in the last story. So, could you write more about them in another fict? Really wait for it!

This is so damn interesting

I loved Kamui's characterization in this. The boys' odd friendship was also way too sweet.

My brain makes Takasugi's voice waaay to sexy so I really can't comment on how in character he is. All I know is that I liked it.

chapter 5 and 6 are just fantastic, definitely! Good writing and characterization, and I love the beasts trio's relationship :) Thank you for those great stories ! I can't wait to read the next chapter next year ! :p
