    Gosh, this was so intense. I was gripping my chair so hard!
    You took a fairly common plot and made it incredible realistic (I was honestly scared on how real it was, really) and powerful. Your look was very different, how many rape stories we see portraited in that awkward kind of way? Not that it was bad, no! It was too good. It made me feel - and they weren't good emotions (even though I felt satisfied and happy to find a really awesome story). It isn't often that we see rape in a way to portrait the characters' emotions, a way to make us get to know him better because we see him in a situation that requires a great skill of the writer to portrait raw emotion - and you did it perfectly.
    I'm still amazed. Schuldig - god. Most authors portrait him in that sort of cool bastard kind of way. Your view on him, damn, it wasn't a cool, sort of anti-hero guy. He is a twisted bastard and you wrote him just like that. I wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alley (and I *love* sarcastic german redheads).
    Also, I like how everything is about Youji, how Schuldig, while he's raping Ken, is looking at Youji and how he likes Yohji's emotions. How Schuldig doesn't give a damn about Ken - I love how it isn't about sexual desire, it's about a desire to harm them both. It seemed to me that Schuldig wasn't turned on because of the sex, but because the sex was the way to make them hurt the most.
    Also, Ken. For some abnormal reason, I love to see my favorite characters suffer, and Ken is no exception. Every moment he was so... so Ken. Not abit of OOC. I, for a moment, was afraid. Ken is, dare I say, accustomed with heavily emotional suffering. Betrayed by his best friend more times than I can count, betrayed by the nun who raised him... Being forced to kill them both and the woman whom he felt the most close to, being forced to leave Yuriko. He had many traumatic experiences, so I didn't know how you would portrait this shock - but you did it perfectly.
    My favorite line was "He isn’t sure if Schuldich is an improvement on Kase but at least Schuldich only hates him." - it was, gosh, I don't know even if I can express how I felt when I read it.
    You were marvelous.

    wow... i'm not too sure what to say here... i've really, really enjoyed reading this. it was very well written, the prose was fantastic. schuken is my favorite pairing and even though it was non-con, i really enjoyed reading this. it was believeable and intense. i'm not sure about posting it to my schuken community however due to the fact ken obviously was -not- enjoying this. but still i like this story all the same. it was wonderful. thank you.

    Thank you. The aftermath really hit home with me, and I won't explain why, but... thank you for not taking something as horrible as rape and turning it into a motive for make-me-forget sex. I loathe when people do that, as they obviously don't understand.

    This was extremely well-written. Your style, with the run-ons and occasionaly fragments only served to heighten the mood of the story. Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant.

    oh my god...that was angst to the max. ...Schu was such a bloody bastard in this....and Ken. Poor Ken...just someone that Schu can use to make Yohji hurt...an added bonus if its another one of Weiss. wow...I meant to start reading to lighten my mood, but your story didn't do that. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome story, just not one that I wanted to read right now. You can tell that I liekd it because I couldn't stop reading it though it was putting a damper on my mood.

    awesome. absolutely awesome. It was so well written, so intense, and the emotion was so damn tangible that I couldn't do anything else but read through to the very end and be awed by it.

    I love how you handle the rape scene, and the aftermath of it, and their emotions and I love your Ken and your Youji and just about everything else and you have to forgive me because I'm babbling but I can't help it.

    I absolutely heart this one. Thank you very much for writing it and sharing with us. Looking forward for more of your fic (which I hope whill feature kenken ;) ).
