Reviews for Relax and Hang On -- Again

By : cupnjava

From on March 02, 2005
Hello! Just writing to give a little encouragement. I am absolutely addicted to RAHO. While "Unrequited?" was quite nice (even before the 2nd chapter was added), I won't lie & say there isn't a little voice in the back of my head chanting: "chapter 17! chapter 17!"
Now Ah'Nesty is here (yay! & I usually don't care much about original characters), it should be interesting. Poor Hakkai. *smirk*
Oh, yeah, I reviewed once as "a little shy", but now I'm registered, though I doubt I'll ever post any stories.

I have been following this since "Relax and Hang On" for goodness sake, and I have NEVER reviewed. I wanted to, but couldn't find the link. Honest! Blame it on temporary ineptitude or the fact that I am usually up until the wee hours reading your perfect chapters. Now, I'll be honest, there are moments in this epic I dislike, but your manipulation of language, continuation of theme, all of it just...blows me away. And you get better every chapter! I don't have time tonight to read the chapter after this, but I will soon. I'm with you til the end, honey. Some time ago, you inpsired me to write a song--something I do occasionally--called "Emerald." I'll have to send it to you some time.

Hello, hello to all fans of RAHO, this is the PuffMonkey with an update. Being a close, personal friend of cupnjava, I have insider information! I promised her I would not tell you anything specific but I just want to assure you that the next chapters will be VERY ANGSTY and VERY HOT! Please believe me when I say this, because I don't even get to hear the whole thing and I always wait with baited breath for these chapters to come out too. I am a HUGE fan of the 5/8 pairing and am still in awe at the stories she comes up with especially the freshness of each of the lemons.
Cupnjava you know I love ya and I mean it, but I had to make sure and do this since I you know I am your biggest (and first) fan! Please check out her website for all the goodies she creates and finds!(sorry off the top of my head I can't remember it but email her or do a search for it and you should find it!)
Huggles!

^-^ Your welcome for the review, but I think that it was well deserved. I'm going to start off by saying that this chapter was as wonderous as the last 15. It was great. I can't wait to see what happens now that Ah'Nesty is there. O.o It could be interesting. Gojyo seems to enjoy it so far. It was very funny indeed. I'm loving all the twists and turns in this fic, its so complex its amazing. Looks like Sanzo has won over Konzen for now, but who knows about that... Yeah...... In regards to my wonder fics, each is for a different pairing I like. This is my 58 fic. I've got an 83 fic that was great, but this is the 58 fic. The other fics are for various other couples. I guess I'm picky about my fics. And yes, three days with classes and homework in between readings. Totally worth it. I think considering how long these chapters are the mistakes are very few and far between. Its amazing. You guys do a wonderful job looking over this fic. I don't think I even noticed anything in this chapter. Kenren and Tenpou...

I love you ... marry me.
Oh my poor Hakkai, there's no end to his suffering is there? And I want a Hakkai-bran dmassage, work has been hectic. And now he's gonna be found out, I always knew Gonou would be a pervert. Poor Hakkai, no wonder he's paranoid, he just wants everything to be okay and people to like him (he's more like Sanguinans than he realises). And a great twist with Goujun's wife belonging(?) to Ah'nesty too. So many little details that I missed on the first reading (Sanzo wanting to DO Hakkai).
and the reminder that Gojyo's dad loved him, even if he doesn't know it and the little metal corss (I went back through the manga for that Minekura is the master of Yaoi whispers)

More naughtiness and Hakkai taking the reins. I should have read it at work, I needed to do filing to cool down. And neither one fo them seem to be incontrol or dominant, your writing really demonstrted that just because someone has the top, doesn't give them the control.

I'm left wondering if Hakkai will find out about his childhood, it might break him ... does Ah'nesty know about that?

Hey read the last couple of paragraphs to My December by Josh Groban (cover of linkin park), and chapter 15 too. It sums up Hakkai's i-will-angst-to-heaven-and-back-again-if-I-want-to . i can send it you if you like.

Great chapter and I'm always hanging on for any of your work.

Sorry addendum, just seen the say no to nitro picture, it's going on a t-shirt btw!

Oh My Goddess. I Love YOU.

This is my first time reviewing and I must say, whenever you update I stop all things and read the new chapter. I stop talking to friends, put my slow music CD [made especally FOR this fanfiction] and make sure nothing interrupts me and if something does, they have hell to pay and a Gojyo figurine imbedded into their skull.

I love how you write Gojyo and Hakkai, and your fic has made me cry more then once. This is my favorite pairing of all time, and their relationship is written so well by you and I really, really enjoy reading your Saiyuki work. It's perfect and flawless and the moments between them are just too cute for words. All of my friends support it from the bottom of their hearts, but my friends that support other pairings, have not converted me [I make it sound like a religion. XD] and I don't think it ever will. I have tried all these other Saiyuki pairings and nothing has fixated me like this pairing does and I love how you portray it and it's such a fun thing to read.

I will keep reading until you end it, but you need to update faster or you'll have a Gojyo figurine imbedded into your skin as well. Probably my bust figurine because I personally think Gojyo looks like a pug in the bust figurine set. And my Gensomaden Saiyuki 1/8th Scale Gojyo figurine is missing an arm and a foot. [Long story, let's just say my Gojyo and Hakkai figurines were having some rough sex.] And my Hakkai one is missing a foot too. So much for hot 58 foot sex.

Ha, I am just rambling. Anyway, I love you, your fanfictions and your kinky sex scenes.

I totally love this chapter. I know I've said it before but your Sanzo is just great. So many people peg him as a priest that they forget that he's a guy, too. That one line 'sometimes a stiff breeze turned him on' was just perfect! I laughed so hard! You take these characters to a whole new level and make it believable. I'm truly impressed with your writing. I'm hooked! I can't wait for you to post again. Are you gonna break Hakkai and Gojyo up. Because if you do, I'll cry. Seriously. Although a threesome would be nice. Nudge, nudge. Finding this new post was the high light of my day. Thanks! Oh, and from the chapter before this one, the whole card game part, I laughed so hard I cried. And the sex scenes are just purr worthy. Keep going on this. You rock!

You're the ONLY PERSON that can make me stay up so late ON A SCHOOL NIGHT! Well, you 'n Zil. BESIDES THAT, you have made me the happiest person in the world.

AH'NESTY APPEARS. DUNDUNDUUUUUN! I don't know why, but she pisses me off. Probably my overly-obsessive yaoi mind taking over my thoughts. Damn ego...But, huzzah, Hakkai makes a sexy seme! Almost as sexy as a Goku seme! I'm such a spazz. But dear GOD I love this fic. I was so, so happy to see it uploaded. I MISSED YOU~! (Clings and sobs, straightens up.)

But of course, you made up for it by far with a nice, long chapter and a SEXY AMV THAT I SHALL CHERISH AND LOVE AND GIGGLE AND BE KILLED IF I AM EVER CAUGHT VIEWING IT BY SOMEONE!

(Handcuffs to.) What? Obsessed? I know no this word!

Uh-Oh, Flaxen's baaaaack~. She scarily reminds me of my OC..But..Smarter. Freaky shiat, yo. Ni is a spazz. Screwin' girls like that. Tsk, tsk. (Waves a DokugakujixGojyo flag and KougaijizSanzo one) >_> I like the oddest pairings. Just popped up in my head while reading the bits of Kougaiji-Ikkou in here. It's nice to see what they're up to.

Well, I better get to bed before I get my ass kicked. Clojaku, loggin' off. You keep writing, I keep reviewing! (Blows kiss.)

First, I just want to say that this is an excellent story and you're doing a wonderful job. That being said, I'd like to share something with you. I was listening to the Gaelic Storm album "Tree," and track two made me think of this story. It just fit so wonderfully that I had to give you the lyrics. You can hear a snippet of the song if you do a search for Gaelic Storm on Amazon.com.

"Before the Night is Over"

Some take their hope, and hide it away
It burns in the darkness, like gold in a grave
There's a spark inside, that can't be concealed
No hurt is so secret that it won't be healed

Chorus:
Before the night is over
Make your heart an open door
Then all we hold inside us
Won't divide us anymore
Before the night is over
And the time we have is done
Before our courage fades away
Let our hearts be bound as one

I've lost my way, when nothing is clear
I've been afraid to love, then I hurt what I fear
I can face the night, find strength in your eyes
not afraid to fall, not afraid to rise

Chorus

Chorus repeat & fade

Okay, I was finally able to donate a little time to this lovely chapter. Get ready for a novel-length review ^_^ First off, loved the imagery of the sun and the clear parallels you drew to Sanzo. Very well done in both subtlety and the reverse. My god you had some really humorous lines mixed in this chappy, and I love how you always manage to balance it out wonderfully. Laughed my ass off: 'How bad was it when you deflected from yourself'; 'No point in putting up bolts at every inn they stopped at' ; 'He also liked making use of hyperbole in his own mind -- of course no honorable Dragon King would ever admit to something like that'; 'olfactory gymnastics'; 'do these feelers...'; 'Homura, please take our monkey'; Goku recognizing Sanzo as the Jane Goodall of the group (rflmao); the scene with Goku trying to speak and people interrupting him; 'brimming over with �gotcha� half-breed'...funny as hell.
The way you described Kanan's hair when she rested on Gonou's lap was really unusual, and conjured up visuals very nicely. I adore how you describe things like that in a manner that is both visually stunning and realistic; it was so easy to appreciate the imagery of the variations of color playing on her hair. I felt the bottom of MY stomach drop out when Gonou was guilting Hakkai with 'you lied to her'; doesn't that just about sum up Hakkai's psychological motivation to a T? Plus, the foreboding that you interlaced between the 'happy' bits made it that much more effective.
Moving on to other aspects that hit me really hard; once again your symbolism blows me away. That's one of the reasons why I always want to take my time reading this fic, because the intricate symbolism you blend into the story is just so...blissfully hidden in plain sight, I don't want to miss it. Onward, to when Hakkai notices that the pads of his ring fingers were numb and wishes the numbness would spread; you define so much with just that little, absently-sounding afterthought. 'Like a child, he�d been playing with a toy all the while not realizing the doll�s pain'...great line, you have a knack for making me do a double take. The carrying theme of 'numbness'; it was breathtaking how you managed to work it in on soooo many levels. Another big one was the aching sweetness in the exchange between Hakkai and Gojyo, where Gojyo scoops him up to help hide him; very well done, especially metaphor usage. Hakkai getting weirded out by having his mouth and chin covered by silk, and the implications of that also floored me a bit...so much to be drawn from that one little tidbit you give us. Loved the dragon windsurfing and the cute running inside joke Sanzo and Goku share during the card game. The increasing tilt to the rhythm was phenomenal, especially when Gojyo is searching for that bitch. As for the general unbalance of the chapter, it suited your purposes extremely well. That's it for this review of EPIC proportions. Outstanding job! I'm always looking forward to more from you.

I have spent four days reading this masterpiece. The first two were in small, sporadic periods of time. I was hooked, utterly and completely, by the seductive opiates of your wordplay. The result was a 32 hour reading marathon of what is, in my opinion, the best Saiyuki fanfiction on the Web. I bow at your alter. You have taken a permanet spot as one of my living writing muses. Thank you for blessing us with this work, and please please please give us more. I can't hear the word "relax" without shivering because of you. ^_^

Wow. Now I know I'm not very good at reviews (I mostly just praise) but let's see if I can do this without getting spazzy or something. It took me three days to read this fic, and I must say that it was worth every minute. I have found that there is always one really good fic that is just perfect for certain couples. I've found about four now, this is one of them. I absolutely adore Hakkai/Gojyo, 5/8. You're fic amazes me. You've put so much work into researching and writing and making sure its perfect that I'm simply floored. The details... I don't think I've read something that's so detailed (for fanfiction anyway). The plot is amazing. I just can't seem to get enough of this story. I just had to finish it, and now I'm left wanting more and have to wait for an update. I must say that your story is amazing and aside from a few minor word things I can't find anything wrong with it. The characters spring to life off the pages and its like I'm there in the story. The Kenren/Tenpou moments amuse me to no end. I can't help but find myself laughing at times, and at other times I get all nervous over what is to happen. This story is truly amazing. I respect your writing capabilities and I praise the ground you walk on for creating this story. This is one of the best fanfictions I've read. Now that I've put in my two sense (which was mostly praise, but less spazzy then I normally am) I think I'll bow out of this review. Thank you for writing this story, I love it to death. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

Just wanted to drop a quickie on how much I adored the new chapter. Excellent, excellent job; as usual, you conjured up an intruiging, dischorded rhythm and atmosphere. I'm a bit too pressed for time to give a suitable review at the moment, but I just couldn't turn away from leaving SOMETHING after reading the smashing chappie. Consider this my raincheck *lol*. Well-written chapter!

Yet again another moving chapter. You capture such raw depth and emotion of the Saiyuki guys. Well enough with the mushy stuff on with the review:

1. Charlie Brown is fucked. Do you ever have those days where you just can't win. They'll always be a Lucy or tree who eats your personal kite. Don't get me wrong, I love Charlie Brown, he just keeps plodding away. On that note:

2. Everyone should embrace their own inner Garfield. Be not fooled by the fatness. This cat kicks ass and takes no prisoners. Its ok to once in a while eat the lasagna, push the Odies of the world off the edge of the table, and pretty much just do what you want.

3. Much can be learned by reading comics, grasshopper.

I'll say it again, the characterizations are so yummy and soulful. What I like about your fic is the wonderful blend of the real, the now, and the surreal. The Saiyuki men bleed, they aren't perfect individuals, talk about mentally disturbed, these guys make Sybil look like a walk in the park (For those not in the know, Sybil was an actual person in the medical books who claimed to have 7 different personalities inside her) I'm ever the optimist, I want the Happy Ending for the Saiyuki Men. However, this is your baby, and mind you I said Happy Ending, not mentally sane! I don't think they'll ever be 100% fine in the head. But I guess thats what makes us love these guys, sigh ;)

For the record your fic has got the funniest lines ever, good rendering of Sanzo's sarcasm, Hakkai's dry wit, Gojyo's sexy magnetism, and Goku's childish energy.

Keep up the great work!!! I'm such an addict for your fics.
