I'm nothing better than Eiri or Shuichi, I'm so selfish myself. I just so hope you are over your block and write much much more Gravi fanfic or at least you finish this story. Somewhere you wrote it nears its end, but there is that you are working on chapter 21... You simply cannot hang up the story here. You are much better just leave it there. I've seen you haven't written almost one and a half year. I just hope there is something you find enough inspirational to continue. My encouragement is yours. I hope there would be something I can do for you to help. If there is something just write to me!
I've found this sequel of Life stories this week and I've read it in 5 or so days. I've barely slept. I'm truly absorbed by your Gravi world. It's just fantastic. I mean you managed the story so far. Shuichi and Eiri are on their way. I know somewhere the angst should have an end. And believe me after JadeHeart's story (Key to my Heart - I've found it three days ago as your suggestion to read...) I appreciate the angst is over at least for a while. But there is Daisuke, the problems in Paradise and Shuichi and Eiri themselves. I just like to read more about them. oh. I'm so selfish and maybe I just shouldn't send theis review, but I am going to post it, maybe it helps you. In addition, I will feel better I've one what I could.... I'm sure everybody says it's a wonderful story but somehow you just haven't find the inspiration and I know it sucks. Writer's block sucks.
I love your style. Switching the POV is a fantastic thing. I like this style. There is the possibility to show the characters' inner world and the first person singular makes it much more real. It's easier to feel them for me. Switch the therapy to another POV was a fantastic idea.
But the whole story is a fantastic idea. The plot is fascinating and exciting. This is a long story but you managed to keep the interest. Mainly now: What does Daisuke want? Who is he? What are the motifs behind his relationship to Maiko? Maybe he is a huge fan of Shuichi who wants him to himself, or wants to kill him or...? You see my imagination is working hard on the possibilities. :D
I like how you manage the sex scenes, they are worth reading. :P And they moves the events forwards, they are organizational part of the plot. And I like it. I was so stunned by Shuichi's attempt to seduce Tohma but I just couldn't keep away the scene before my eyes. And to say the truth it is so wrong that it is exciting. I've never read Tohma in a sexual situation before and I have to say I loved that particular event.
You made a good job with Daisuke. :D He is a ver interesting character. I love how you tease Eiri by him. What I love the most about the story is that how you develop Eiri's and Shuichi's characters. (And I'm just so curious their tantric yoga exercises. :D And How Eiri would teach Shuichi Tai Chi would be so sweet.) And there is the tour - that would be fun to read about. What about Ryuichi and Tatsua?
The story deserves an end. Maybe a sequel too. :D But I know somewhere every story should have an end.
So, I don't know if there is a point in writing this review (Okay, I know it is not a review only the rambling of my selfish wishes...) but I hope you find some encouragement.
Thank you for your extremely hard work and this fantastic story. I post this review at LJ maybe you visits that site more often...
Thank you. *bows*

Arrg, what a place to stop! Now I know how Shuichi feels (wink).

Delighted to see another chapter of one of the best gravi stories out there, this series is one of my absolute favorites. I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Please don't torture us (and poor horney Shuichi) too much longer!

I can't tell you how excited and happy I was to see this new chapter! I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every story in this arc (though I admit to reading but not reviewing... mainly because your writing truly leaves me speechless). I did, however, want you to know not only how much I'm enjoying these, but also that I especially loved seeing the mature Shuichi in this chapter! Keep writing!

I swear to the gods, I got so excited when I saw a new chapter up...and it's the one I read last week! And now I'm hot AGAIN! Damn you, Despina ;) Great job, as always!

Hi

I have been a very bad reader and despite reading this for the 3rd time I haven't reviewed it for you. I have to say I absolutly love this fic, I cannot possibly count the times its made me late for work or uni, or kept me up so late in the night that i am a zombie in the morning and I could hug you for that! I think you have captured the characters well, and predicted what they would do in these circumstances. I know its nearly been a year but is there any chance this will be finished? You've left it on such a cliff? Even if you don't finish it, if your muse for this story has run away, it was a very good one and you should definatly write shu and eiri again. And thank you

I can't believe after all the times I have already read this story, I keep forgetting to review. This is one of my all time favorite epics, your storytelling is outstanding and you have totally captured the essence of these characters and made them real. I eagerly await future installments of this. I hope to see this storyline continue!!

Can't wait for the next one dear!

all of your stories are so good. I cant wait for more. Especially Kyo. I like him, hes funny! Cant wait til the next chapter is up!

I thought the previous chapt was not only susper hot but so well written. It was great to see the same act from different perspectives. This latest chapt is such a relationshipship cliff hanger ... am just waiting to see what will happen next ... will Yuki be able to get out of book appearance, how will the tour go etc. I really like how you've captured the changes in both Yuki and Shuichi and what they've become. I always did want to see a more forceful Shuichi who's made all the more real with his various outburst and insecurities. Arrrg, can't wait to read the next chapts .... by the way, must say I did a small cheer (couldn't appear too excited while in the office!) to read your other spin off from this series. I really do love reading more on the other 3 guys so it's great to know that they're finally getting a fic all of their own. Threesomes aren't really my thing but you've written it so well, I'm hooked. Waiting on tender hooks for the next installment!

Ooo it's going to be interesting on this tour! Yes sir! hehe I can't wait to see what happens, hope the chapter isn't giving you too much trouble.

I liked this story just as much as the others, after all I am crazy fangirlishly in love with this universe you've created. I found it a little frustrating at times when some of the exposition seemed a little superfluous, but considering you want to make it readable as a stand alone, it's totally understandable.

I was surprised to see Shu have so many slide backs so far, and to see such a mixed bag raction to th therapy. However it seems to work somewhat and it's certainly nice to see the make ups after. You still write a damn hot Eiri/Shu scene and it's totally worth the angst to get to the smut hehe. If there's one thing I've fallen in love with it's Shu's life in music, the way it plays in his head and takes him through various emotional breakdowns etc. It's an excellent motif character wise and at the same time it brings out the 'old' Shuichi in this new one. It really makes his character 'sing' for me, pardon the pun. >_<

I'm also really anjoying the Tohma development. After the horror that was Shu's attempted seduction (its was def well approached and well handled, I cringed aough for both of them!!) he becamce a much more active character in this whole arc. Now I'm desperatley curious to figure out his and Mika secret re the baby and am loving their interaction as a family. It's lovely to see a story where Tohma isnt just married to Mika for convinience or for Eiri and does in fact love her. It makes him a much more readable character, and you've captured that without losing any of the poisonus edge he can carry!

Finally the threesome is still making me smile and making me sweat as and when necessary. Their chapters are a fangirl's dream and at the same time give the whole piece a smidgen of relief. Love it!

So am eagerly awaiting the next chapter. I am pleased to hear this fic is still interesting for you as it is for the reader, I'd welcome as long a continuation as possible! The tour promises to be eventuful, I cant wait to find out how!

Thanks again!
Hugs x
