As anyone who reads yaoi, I'm familiar with the smut scenes of course, but I have to say they usually don't do much for me. I mean they are just there and are part of the story but for me they are just another plot device, I take them or leave them. Dont seek them, dont really care about them as a whole. That said... This story has some of the most beautiful sex scenes that I've ever read, the way the art is drawn and the panels are crafted is so pretty and purposeful, it almost feel more like a shojo manga than a smut and it strikes me so much. I know its a weird thing to fixate on, but smut in halo tends to focus more on the tantalizing and hot than in the romanticized beauty of it so this is so refreshing and just nice. Especially since consent is expressed very clearly here from the beginning so you can enjoy them with no guilty feeling. I just love them.
