Those boys do have a tendency to grab you and not let go, don't they?
Truth be told, it wasn't until FAKE that I actually got into fanfiction. I never bothered with it before, but once I got to the end of the 7th manga, I was all "WHAT?? That's it?? Oh HELL no! That can't be it!" It's proven to be an interesting experience, to say the least.
Which leads me back to my original post. One of the things I LOVE the most about your work is how you portray Ryo. (I'm a HUGE Ryo fan, with Dee coming in half a breath behind him. <> Those boys. So interesting! So SEXY!!) So many people portray Ryo as this weeping, whiny mess who can't sneeze without crying, when, IMHO, in canon he was nothing like that. So, again, thank you for keeping Ryo the kind, compassionate, patient while wonderfully STRONG and stable man that he is.
And as for requests - You don't want to open that Pandora's box. Actually, one of my favourite pieces of yours was In the Line of Duty. (I have a kink for Ryo topping. Not because I don't think Dee and Ryo are equal in all aspects of their relationship - I also love well written lemons where Dee tops as well. It's just that it's so rare that we get to see Ryo exert any sense of sexuality or confidence in his homosexuality that I love well done Ryo topping Dee scenes.) Basically, I love anything well written. I didn't think I would find Ryo and Alicia believable, but you managed to make it a fun, well worth it read that I COMPLETELY enjoyed. (I'm also thoroughly enjoying Southern Charm and eagerly awaiting any updates as well.)
OK, I'll shut up now, before this ends up a post of pages and pages of praise. Erm, good job and keep up the good work!
