I lost track of this story a year ago after i moved.
at that time i think the last chapter i read was chapter 24 before i stopped visited this site.
This whole week, i finally finished reading this story, and i must say you a one hell of a brilliant writer. I could care less how the emotions of the characters are in the story, the sex scenes or whatever...this is your story, you created it, you can do whatever you want with it. I remember starting to read this story about 3 years ago, and i glad that the way you wrote everything.

This story felt like i was actually reading a book, everything just made sense and i loved have you had some anime references. (because we all know Meilin isn't a "cannon" character). I was 17 when i started to read this story, every freaking day i was go on to see if you updated....then it would take a while for you to update (which is understandable, look how long a chapter is lol :P) every chapter i read, i was never disappointed. Now i am 20 year old, and is astonished on how much a missed, but yet again, till the very end i wasn't disappointed.

You truly have a talent, usually with really long chapters, i would get bored, but not your story, no, i was so into your story, i would find myself nearly bracing myself to keep reading knowing what was going to happen to the characters, also getting far too into everything while reading this story ( something i would yell at the characters like they would hear me >_<)

I glad to remember about this site and your story, it was actually one of the first things i looked for in the cardcaptors Sakura section...the title is so eye catching, this is why i started to read this story in the first place...because of it's title.

I must say thank you for not losing hope, i notice in the earlier chapters you were upset about people reviewing...the comments that they left about your story, i mean. You never give and and didn't listen to anyone advice because you knew what you wanted for your story, and never faultier ...so thank you for that.

What a wonderful, touching, beautiful story. I'm almost sad that I didn't find it until the end, because I wish that I could have been one of the many dedicated followers; at the same time I'm pleased that I found it so that I wasn't left so long wondering what would happen next!

I came looking for a little smut to cheer me up and instead I found something that has made me far happier; a story of true love. Thanks for brightening a couple of days in my life, and I want to wish you luck in making your writing into a career. You certainly have the talent.

Just had to say, your story was a great work of art (and a massive one!). Thanks so much for writting it. The suspence of Sakura and Li's affiar was heart attack inducing. And the angst of Touya and Yue's relationship was heartbreaking while unfolding. And Kero was hilarious.

brava! brava! you wrote wonderfully! i was also thinking about you changing the characters so you can turn it into an original literary piece when i read the ending. i think it'd be accepted. or you can submit it to CLAMP. :D it really doesn't matter i think if your story is moved to the second, third, or even last page of the ccs story listing... you're still the best among them. congratulations to a wonderful finish! God bless!

That was a very well written story with a very good plot and a very good ending. It was well worth reading all the chapters, waiting for the end. I'll probably end up reading this multiple times. To me, every time I read a story it's a whole new adventure. I'll notice things I didn't when reading it the first time. So, I thank you for taking your time to write it too. Because I know not everyone can have the effort or the patience to keep writing a story for that long.

Oh my goodness gracious. Look what you've gone and done!

I'm not a big visitor to this site. In fact, the only reason I come here is so check up and see how Pleasure Slave has been coming along. Imagine my surprise when I looked it up today and found that somewhere between saying goodbye to high school marching band forever and applying rabidly for colleges, an astonishing eight chapters had been added, completing the story that has been like an elixir of joy to me for these past years.

I admit it. I'm one of the horrible, terrible readers who have been reading since God knows how long ago, devouring your every word, and leaving only two or three reviews total. I'd check in sporadically, devouring three to four chapters at a time, gasping, sighing, growling, and squealing with each plot turn. The story captured me in a way that no other piece of fan fiction has ever been able. It wasn't written to be porn. It wasn't written to be a blanched fantasy. This was a study of the dark turns in the human heart, offset by the time-worn reasoning of the mind. It was something I'd only tasted before in books like A Separate Peace and other classics, assigned reading that while to my young mind was somewhat dry, still managed to completely entrance me with the way written word could so clearly convey thoughts and ideas, sending qualia straight into my perspective. But this story was different. It was deviant. It was absolutely irresistable.

I continued my personal search for literary masters and their works, delving head first into my English classes, working hard enough to finally, in my current senior year of high school, make it into AP English Literature and Composition. It's an amazing class, and I truly love the experience of being able to understand and read books that make me understand and to be able to be understood while talking about it to someone. I believe Emerson said "It is a luxury to be understood." (I might be inaccurate with the source.) I really do consider literacy something that I hold very dear.

This story was something that talked to the horrible demon in the back of my brain, twisted and perverted and ugly, which loves taking things at face value and consuming them with utmost gluttony. This story... it tamed that demon, and made it calm enough to realize that just because something might be more mature than the norm, it's not necessarily to be taken at face value. I'm not sure what it was that triggered this, but with the twisted plot of raw and veiled emotions, the sex had become unimportant. Who knows? Maybe I just grew out of the fifteen-year-old frame of mind, and tempered the hormone rush. Maybe I just got bored from it all. Or maybe your story was enough to knock my senses back, to prove that within the scheme of things, life and death and continuity, sex is as transient as any breath inhaled.

I'll finish writing this review later, since right now I have to go to school in five minutes. Sorry if this partial review isn't very easy to read, but I didn't get a chance to proofread it. Thanks again. I still have a lot to praise and to thank you for.

Well, there are so many things that I'de like you to know so I don't really know where to start. I guess it wouldn't be too damaging to your ego to tell you that this is and probably always will be my favorite story. and as to your comment about the influence of other works is very true. Though, I have to say I don't see it as any sort of plagerism. It was so finely written. Thank you.

As to your other comment about how you have no one and no job, even though it is difficult to admit I am in the same boat. I also have to admit it is much easier to be that way than to let someone intrude and be truly a part of your life. To be perfectly honest I want nothing more than to be an author. I want to write. I want it more than anything, but... Yes there is always that but, isn't there. My excuse is fear. I will be 20 in about a month. I have nothing but shame and admitting this to you is so very difficult.
My sister always tells me that I have so much talent. I guess in a way it is somewhat true. There are so many things that I pride myself on being able to do well. Just making a career of it seems so trite. Really wont it ruin my love of the things I love to do?

Anyways, enough about that. I really do want to thank you for writing this and I guess all that I have to say has been to cheer you up some. I hope I did at least that.

There were more things I wanted to say, but I can't seem to remember them now. I look forward to your next story, and I will also check out that other Y/T story, the one you said you wrote before.

I almost forgot, I wanted to apologize for not reviewing sooner. You updated the last chapters so quickly. By the time I came back online all the chapters were already up. Sorry. :D

That's all and thank you again,
Mel
