Ohhh I love your story T^Tb
I was delighted with how you portrayed Kurama in the first chapter
and I like how you developed Hiei's character even more!
Some people tend to make Hiei an experienced lover but that doesn't really flow too easily with me.
(He barely expresses his feelings, how can he be so adept in love?!)
Love your Kurama & Hiei~ (Nice Yusuke too ^.^)

Okay, I guess the only thing I can say, is.... SWEET AWESOME SWEETNESS! ^__^ Damn, you did really manage to keep them in character.... now why the hell can't I do that?! Aw well... anyway, this is REALLY good (mainly because I admire your ability to maintain the IC-ness ^__^), and I look forward to seeing where you go with this, so update soon, please XD

Yeah, I'm not homophobic like some Het. writers. The only kind of stories I really can't stand are Mary-Sue's, and those interactive things. I'll read anything that catches my interest. I'm sorry to say that 85% of the stories in this section(in my opinion) blow, I mean blow Hard. It's tragic. But you're story's a real pleasure to read; well thoughout and well writen pieces are very hard to find. I like how you really take the time to explore the characters' thoughts and feelings, add just enough detail to helps show rather than just tell the story.


Keep up the good work.

Yet we may also make the correlation between proper feedback and not just rave reviews. CC, beta readers and other things helpful to writers help make stories better; therefore, a story may cease or decrease in blowing.

Personal note- I don't read many Hiei¤Kurama stories because it feels like I've read them all. I don't even care how IC or OOC they are or what the summary said. I prefer to expand my horizens and that's why I'm writing a series of one shots featuring different pairings.

Wow! Early on, when I read my first few Hiei/ Kurama fics I was shocked to see their characterizations run through the dirt. From then on I haven't read one since, until today that is. I think you've done a wonderful job keeping the two IC. You're a wonderful writer and I hope you continue.

I like it; please continue. There is only one thing with which I disagree; I do consider Hiei to be 'cute'. I have been told I have strange tastes.

As far as OOC goes, and this is just my opinion, so feel free to disagree: If the characters start in character and change throughout the story as a consequence of their experiences, then that is good OOC (within reason. Hiei becoming a hippie sex therapist and wearing hot pink would be bad OOC in any dimension.) Characters growing and changing can be good. Characters that are unrecognizeable, or grow and change into things far beyond the realm of their true nature (as definied by the original author) do get old quickly. Then again, so do stagnant, static sharacters.

Either way, I like the way you have portrayed Hiei and Kurama, and it seems very true to their natures. I look forward to your update.
