i found this story about two years ago and was hooked from the start. you have written an awesome story with a gripping plot. i used to regularly check this site for updates and many a times this fic made my day. thanks for a great read! i hope you continue to come up with such good stories. kudos!

Ah Capitalist. I am struggling for words on how to respond to this. I discovered PS maybe 4 months ago and read through it with great interest. I have since checked for updates every few days, always feeling excited when they came (it frequently made me late for work or other activities because I wanted to finish the chapter ;). I want to say a very sincere WELL DONE. I have read books since I was very little and read fanfictions for years and there are very few books/stories that I consider extremely well-written. (thats not to say there aren't plenty of books that are good and entertaining - just not fabulous.) This story will be added to that very small collection. You may be unemployed but I think you were born to write stories. Some people just have that gift. The depth, clarity, realism of this story, its plot and characters, is so astounding and genuine, I truly believe it would be a shame for you not to continue to write stories and have them published. I am not a writer myself and am not able to express therefore, how incredible this story is, but I have a very strong passion for literature and would like to encourage you further. PS is incredible, in its entirety. The whole story is so well thought out and developed and that is a task that I have found in my years of reading, many people do not do well. So a sincere THANK YOU! For writing such an immensely entertaining, heart-wrenching, thought-provoking story. My gratitude cannot be expressed fully. PLease continue though! I look forward to reading your other stories and any future ones you write. Good luck on the publishing. It will be a hard task to change things in the story but I am convinced you will do fine. I look forward to someday being able to buy a copy of the story. Truly I thank you!

P.S. I just wanted to add, I have read many of the reviews with flak about the SxS pairing and I would like to say you explained their relationship perfectly. I completely agree with you. I have found in years of reading fanfictions that when people put Sakura with other people it really somehow cheapens her character, no matter how OOC it is. There is something really genuine and elegantly simple with the two of them together and I think no other pairing ever seems so real. I am glad you stuck them together. Thanks for that too!

I luved reading this story n I hope everything goes well for u in life. This was one of the best fanfiction stories I ever read, so be proud lol! Well I just stopped by to say thanks n gud luck!!! Ja-ne

Oh my...brilliant! I have to say that in this journey...that you are the best writer for this fic. *bows* thank you...

I love how you tied everything together, especially with Clow narrating at the very end... there's no other word for it besides beautiful... that and heartbreaking since we're coming to the end. I cannot fully express how your prose manages to evoke such emotions in me, some I didn't realize I could even feel before this. You truly are amazing.

No trademark character discussion at the end? jk
Thank you for taking those marvelous 3 years and 3 months to let your readers take a journey of a lifetime. The fangirling I've done for this story cannot be matched with any other fangirling I've probably ever done in my life (which includes dumbledore's new orientation status). I just wish that I had found this story sooner so I could take each chapter in one by one. So once again, thank you <3
(And i will search out that song~ it sounds perfect)

I've been reading this story for a couple of months now and I've never reviewed. After reading this last chapter or tag or whatever I though I should. I read a lot of fanfiction. More than I'd care to admit and I rarely if ever review stories unless the author really strikes me. I was a little leary of this story to begin with. I don't watch a lot of anime and cardcaptor was always a 'just okay' one to me. The touya/yue/yukito thing interested me though so I looked up a couple of fanfictions. I don't ever remember how I got to this one as I don't look for touya/yue very often or visit this site that much. Mainly because of what you pointed out, it being mostly sex with no plot or characterization. This story, as I'm sure you've been told, is exceptionally well written. I found it disturbing and downright disgusting at times and I didn't know if I wanted to continue reading it. Obviously I did and to my relief it had a happy ending. One of the most interesting things I've found about fanfiction is that the really good ones could generally be taken as an original story. This story is no different. I don't know if you'll think this is a good review or a shit review but I just felt I needed to say something. And I know my advice doesn't count for anything since you don't know me, but don't worry about what your family thinks of what you do. If you're good at it and enjoy it that should be good enough for them. This is the longest review I've ever written I think. Also, you're never too old to enjoy a good story, fanfiction or not. So, thank you for the story and I hope that one day I'll be flipping through a book at Books-a-Million and think 'huh, this writing style seems familiar.'

Yes, yes! lol. I was so going to seriously suggest you publish this. I have to say I would hold this higher then anything I've ever read, because this is the best god damn thing I've ever read.

I'm so happy I stumbled upon the fanfic. I came on the site to simply find some pairings between Sakura and Touya. Not because I'm some sicko who wants to see sibling sex, but because I agree with you that girls tend to idolize men who have similarities to their fathers, and I felt a strong bond between her and Touya - even in CCS. I wanted to see how some authors would implore that and use their imagination to see what they saw.

I wasn't exactly satisfied with my search. I was actually rather disappointed. Then I saw this, and I'll be honest - I did expect some smutty ill-willed out of character things based on just the title. But during the first chapter I thought 'this isn't some 14 year old virgin day dreaming' Lol. I was extremely impressed with your writing style and your imagery. I'm very picky with that. I can't stand things that are drawn out over scenery and things such as that. But you never lost my attention with this story, not a single sentence.

The reason I was eh about the idea of Sakura and Syaoran getting to be the main picture here, is due to the fact I was so entranced by your work with Yue and Touya - I was afraid you'd lose focus and I quickly figured out that the pairing between Sakura and Syaoran was a must in order for Yue's and Touya's relationship to build.

I was also basing it on other fics I have read with the pairings. So I just had this awful idea in my head and I should've given you more credit then that, lol.

I will, however, admit that I am a little dissappointed with no sex scene between Syaoran and Sakura. Not because it was a must for me to read more smut - but I wanted to hear Sakura's experience with that with her being a virgin. They had oral, and lemme tell you - that was very well written. But, sex is a whole new level Sakura isn't familiar with. You implied it - but she wasn't any indifferent to it.

With as emotional Sakura is - I just expected a deeper relationship appear once she did bond with Syaoran.

Also - I want to mention this. Have you ever read the Twilight series from Stephenie Meyer? It's a vampire series she published that I've also been hooked on - I have to say this drew me in deeper though.

She was just a normal person - never expected to be a writer in all her dreams. One night she also had a dream. She had a dream about these characters and when she woke up wrote it down. She began wondering 'well what happened to them' and next thing she knew - she had a whole book written following 3 others.

I'll send you a link to watch her little interview - because she mentions how tough it was to publish with her lack of knowledge about the whole thing. I want you to see if so when you do work on getting this published you won't get discouraged - because I promise, you'll be on New York Times with this Dx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SQ9bJIhcJ0 -- Watch that, please.

Stephenie Meyer has had so many interviews and even had "Watch out Harry Potter" on my local news.
I can say I loved your story more then her book, and lemme tell you - I went through her book(s) in 2 days and it's 400-600 pages.


Please, if you do this PLEASE don't get discouraged. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
If you go through this just remember you had 600 people who loved your story and you owe it to yourself for you 18 months of unemployment. Lol - think of it as 18 months of work and you getting paid back for it.

If you could - could you please email me your yahoo group. I would more then willingly join your group and hear how you're doing. I'm not a huge yahoo fan, I rather dislike it - but if it's for you, then Yahoo can be my best friend.

I'm glad my reviews meant something for you, I was really glad to see my name listed in your gratitude. I wasn't expecting it with as late as I came to join in on your marvelous work.

Thank again for writing such beautiful work - if you go through with this publishing - I promise I'll be in line for the release date.

I also wish you best of luck in life, you certainly deserve it after filling so many people with happiness across the world with your wonderful imagination.

With much love,
Brittany (aka - Madd Hatter)

Ugh, I put my email in the box - and to be honest I forget my login information past this point so I can't unhide my email. ZiggyOtaku@gmail.com - please send me a reply about the email group.

Wow. I can't believe it's over! I guess I am what you could call one of your "lurkers," who never said a word about your writing up to this point, and I must say I feel a bit guilty now that we've reached the end. This story was actually one of the first stories that I read on this site, back in the day, and I actually almost let my n00bness prevent me from reading the rest. I didn't realize that there were buttons on the screen that said "next chapter," so I thought that, having only read the first chapter, that your story was very incomplete and I was quite frustrated that this seemingly awesome piece of writing had such a crappy ending.

But, a month or so later fortunately, I discovered those happy buttons and immediately began searching for "that one CCS story about the slave thing that seemed oh-so-promising." And now three years later (a high school graduation, a creepy-ass boyfriend who SERIOUSLY believed in zombies, the marriage of my brother, the birth of my nephew, the death of my grandmother, a bout of pneumonia, the release of the rest of the Harry Potter books, and now the start of my college life), I just have to suddenly gush out all the happiness your story has brought me that I had kept silent.

I've cried multiple times. I've been left going to bed (at 4:00 in the morning, no less) wishing that I'll find a nice guy like Syaoran someday to save my day. I would end up skimming over the smut at times of impatience, just wanting to know what will happen to the plot. I've giggled like a really dorky girl at parts and and even bit my fingernails at times of excitement. Seriously. It would make a very entertaining video for Youtube....

I was rather taken off guard this evening, not knowing that we were THIS close to the end! I guess I was pulling a Touya and was in denial when it was OBVIOUSLY being wrapped up a bit a few weeks ago, yet I calmly found my way here today to only see chapters entitled "Epilogue" and "Afterword." I was shocked! My e-speak brain was going haywire: "OMGWTFNO XO." And so now I find myself staying up way later than I thought I would have just to write out my gratitude to you. I haven't logged on to this account since the time they got rid of the FIRST recommended reading, and so here I am, logging in all special to show how much I loved it.

It's been fun! Thank you (x20958209209386092603673024) for writing this wonderful story.

<3's From Your Long-Time Lurker-san,
