Title: Hunting for Wild Hanyo
This was poignant and sweet. Couldn't stop thinking about this way after I read it. Thank you.

Title: Restitution
O__O So...I'll admit that the first time I read this story, I skipped the first chapter and some of the second. Reading it completely for the first time now, I realize how much I missed.
The first chapter was great, even though references of Gojyo and women annoy me (:P). I loved the way all the women cringed at the mention that Gojyo might be gay. The whole thing was quite hilarious. I can't wait to see them appear in the last chapter again. As for the second and the third, how could I not like them? Fluff, angst, and sex all rolled together. :D
Overall, this was very well-written. I don't recall anything making me cringe, but I do remember enjoying quite a multitude of your sentences. ^____^
I read that all your stories are on hold for now due to work, but you'll still finish this one eventually, right?

Title: Restitution
Things to point out when I’m not so relaxed and reread it- 2 errors of the grammatical/spelling variety, 3 sentences that made me grin in pure pleasure of clever word choice and 2 that made me cringe. Overall I found it to be quite simply a good story, and that’s saying much more than it seems. It wasn’t forced, grandiose, or overly angsty, and that’s immensely refreshing. It flowed nicely, pillows were kept track of, positions/characterizaton believable, & the writing well done. Couldn’t sleep well tonight and I must say I’ve been soothed by the style of the work. Thank you for a much appreciated bed time story. I trust my mind will drift off into a quiet dreamless sleep.

This would be the first Saiyuki fanfiction that I ever read that I liked. Wow! I can't wait for your next and *sob* last installment of the story. The first part where the pov was one of those whorey ladies was wonderful. It gave a lot of insight to the outside looking in. I loved the change of pov in the second and third parts from Hakkai to Gojyo. *sigh* Thanks for the lovely story.

O_O I thought you said you couldn't write a lemon! Goodness. I never imagined Gojyo as a bottom, but you pulled it off so nicely that this was one hell of a sex scene. XD I liked it a lot

"lost in something that wasn't quite pleasure or pain or fury or love, but a weird chimera of them all, at once" a wonderful line. i can't really write a proper review just now ...my hands are shaking too much.

Lovely! I found your story and read both chapters at once. I love your original female characters, and adore how you really got into Hakkai's head. I can't wait for more!

This was a GREAT read. You're really brilliant with true to character conversation! And your description of Gojyo through Hakkai's eyes captures the heart of the character perfectly: honest and open, (but capable of erecting barriers because he gets hurt real deep from loving too much), not smart but quick and more compassionate than a saint. I love how you weave in elements of the anime into your stories so seamlessly, like Hakkai's reverent whisper to Kanan that he would like to live for himself for a while, reminiscent of the chapter when they beat Chan Li Sou (sorry, I'm not sure how to spell that). And your humour is just spot on as usual. I'm a dreadful greedy pig, but please WRITE MORE! Also, I liked the "Jien teaching Gojyo to belch on command" memory. OMG, I can just imagine what the uptight, cultured Kougaiji would look like if Doku did a demo for Lirin to learn. Hahahaha, the images you evoke are just so rich -- like Gojyo sleeping with no inhibitions and Hakkai like a prim corpse next to him! Thanks for sharing your genius, and I'm eagerly awaiting more stories ;D

ok what's in a name...as written in the manga, hakkai's name is ha as in eight and kai is to mean and admonishment or warning(something he alludes that Gojyo is to him) however hakai does mean also literally "breaking the(Buddhist) commandments" (another dig here as one of those i think is the not taking of life law) and can thus also be taken to mean destruction. however the Ha in that version of hakkai is not the character used in minekura's version of ha (which in this case is literally the no. eight as in hachi) but both are pronounced exactly the same way and so if Yukiko only heard the name and had no idea how it was written...technically she isn't wrong...and at the end of it all we have a lovely play on words and endless possibilities. sorry for that i know i left a review already but i thought i would add my two cents worth on this.

... I wrote a review earlier, but something happened here and EftW broke temporarily and ate my review. So I must try again... rrr
Right. Wow. Just wow. The first chapter sucked me in enough to keep me reading (love your OC girls!) and the second was worth waiting for. ^_^

Heh. Being a book nerd is the best. I wrote a monologue called "Suave" that is being preformed in the school's black box production...it's a guy onstage going on about how Russian novel references make girls swoon. XD;;
Aahhhh~, I hadn't realized that this was ongoing thing. How happy I am now! :DDD

Ahaha! Your OFC's are wonderful. I particularly enjoyed your reference to them as "rainbow fish."
I know that Hakkai was named so for the "cleansing" he went through, but the fact that it means "destruction" in Japanese makes me think that it's also a reminder to what he's done.

This is awesome. Very funny in a quite sophisticated way. I'd love to read a sequel, if you write one. Oh by the way, I don't think "Hakkai" means destruction, at least not in Chinese. It means the "8 ways of cleansing" as in the monks give up 8 sins to cleanse themselve so they could reach enlightenment.
