Just finished this and ohhh my gosh. The final chapter made me tear up and so did the side stories. This has so much that I loved with their beautiful relationship and how everything played out. I genuinely think this is such a well written and beautiful story.
Like... the final chapter is so damn beautiful. The way the final words led into the title was so good, and the feeling of wishes that they hadn't realized they held becoming promises is so lovely. That Craig had said his wish before hadn't come true but he still enjoyed the act of making the cranes is so tied into their inability to promise forever but that they can promise until the very end. It's such a sweet sentiment for broken people. Even though that depression lingers and can't magically go away, it can be eased and healed through nurture <3 genuinely so lovely.
Dean letting Craig touch the houseplants was really beautiful when you realize his father was the one who gave him those. So even though it will die from being touched, he realizes that the small humane gift he was clinging to from his father was not even a droplet of water compared to the ocean of life that Craig can bring him. He doesn't need to cling to scraps of love because he has the entire world right there. He says it himself, "There's nobody else in this world but you."
"And if there is such a thing as an afterlife, I'm absolutely sure that you and I will belong in different places. And if that's the case... I would spend an eternity missing you." The artwork there is so beautiful and man, the fear of that painful eternity is so real.
Oh man, Craig putting the ring on Dean's finger and Dean viewing his hand that he'd always seen as a scarred and rotten reminder of his actions as something that is a promise :""") something that can cherish and hold his loved one instead of something he wanted to destroy so his hands could stop destroying </3 this is so fucking sweet.
And that eternity of missing him becoming the two of them standing in the field together god this was a gorgeous story
Surprisingly wholesome lol this was cute
Hope they get married and have a beautiful life. The lingerie is very pretty and love the dynamic
Do y'all think the catboys got the cat sandpaper-tongue?
I can't help but hear all of Tachibana's dialogue as J. Michael Tatum
(If anyone wants quick reference he is the English voice actor for: Kyoya in OHSHC, Iida in BNHA, Kurama in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Tomoe in Kamisama Kiss, Erwin in AOT, etc.)
Streamlined Low Tide in Twilight
Lol no but this was super cute. The kids are adorable and their life together is very sweet. Love the grandpa, love that Ryuuga is so readily accepted by Riku, love the grandma. It was very good
I was just thinking how his hair looked so much better long and then he cut it ╥﹏╥
Anyways, this is very cute and sweet. I liked the one shot, too, specifically when he was a lil cat chibi. Also in the main story whenever Tsubaki wagged his tail it was so cute :")
I liked it a lot. The person's comment about thinking Tsukasa was an herbivore but being wrong elevated it cause like... Yeah, he seems so gentle and detached/hesitant at first but dude is equally horned up. Mao is a cutie pie, love him, love a baddie who is fantastic at any line of work.
It wasn't my favorite in the world but it was genuinely enjoyable and the smut was solid
Idk if it's bc I'm hangry and tired but I kinda just couldn't wait to finish reading this lol
It's fine, cute and all and the piercings are hot but something about the dialogue just didn't do it for me? Once again, could be my mood, but I didn't love it ┐(´ー｀)┌
???? I don't understand all the hate this was cute! The art is really nice and it really wasn't that bad, I think it ended very sweetly and it really seemed that the hostility was a misunderstanding caused by clumsiness and immaturity. He really wasn't mean other than in the flashbacks when they were kids.
And idk why people are mad that a grown ass man who was single was having consensual sex. Yeah him saying "I was just helping her" is a bit confusing, but he just meant he didn't have feelings for her. Just bc he has a crush doesn't mean he can't sleep with someone else, it's not like he was in a relationship and he had no guarantee that the feelings were mutual. It's really not that deep y'all
Anyways, it wasn't revolutionary but it was really sweet and like I said, the art was really nice, it's super cute and they're both so pretty
