I reslly mean that! I discovered FL in February or March of 2008 and have been keeping up with the amazing storylines in all of the threads ever since. It's been an incredible treat for me to come home from work and find a new thread posted, or an update to something. The charecters are so fully fleshed out, I can easily picture even the OC's running through the trees and across the rooftops. And I normally hate OCs.

The only reason I haven't posted any sort of comment before (this is the part that where I either stroke your egos or scare you) is that I have been following along all this time on my cellphone. And it's not one that is made for ease of web surfing!

The writing, the charecters, the time and attention to detail. You guys are amazingly talented, and I hope you continue writing in some form or another for a very long time. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have given me.

The last couple of days have made me the happiest stalker ever. :D

I really love Asuma as a new character with an incredibly interesting background, and I think it's nice for Ginta to have a guy-friend who he is ~~probably~~ not going to bang.

Genma and Hayate are very sweet at the moment, and I like how Genma is trying to explain how Raidou is basically his right arm and Hayate totally not getting it.

Finally, I am glad that Ryouma and Ginta are making a move towards reconciliation,, even if they are incredibly awkward. Ryouma totally needs to get his head together though. XD

So I'm still totally loving this, more than a year later, and I always check if there are new updates - I have to keep a browser link because I come all the way from LJ, land of the oppressed. (When I'm not at university I read it on my iPod Touch. Does that count? ~~is shot~~) So I'm trying to break out of being too lazy to comment. <3

I love love love the 3 new threads, dont wanna fight this war, colour of incense and dirty words and fighting talk (not sure of the titles, I did my best to remember them haha)

The Genma Hayate thread was so sweet, two new buddies, I love the bond that's been created. I really like Hayate's innocence beside Genma's experience, it adds somethign extra, a feeling of protection, I think.

The Ginta Ryouma thread was really powerful and pulled at my heartstrings in a sad, painful kind of way. They were both struggling so hard, I could almost feel the pain, though I'm glad in the end things worked out... well in a way. hehe

And the Ginta Asuma thread, hahaha so fun!! Really sharp and pointy and biting at moments, byt also a bit silly and carefree, loads of fun. Also A sense of relief at the end.

Great job all of you!!!

The Safest Place You've Found (Kakashi & Ryouma)

maresdrake
2009-04-06 08:44 pm UTC (link)

"Safest Place" (along with the prequel "Dog of War Meets Puppy of Emo -- Kakashi & Kaito) epitomize greatness in fiction writing. There is action, emotional intensity, riveting dialog, and character revelation. There is the darkly wry humor of strong characters shouldering almost unbearable life-burdens. Humor adds the necessary leaven to your cinnamon bun. Without each of your subtly different senses of humor, the characters and angst would not be nearly so memorable.

As is so often in "Fallen Leaves" the writing is dense with meaning, every sentence propelling the story on or adding a grin or some absorbing detail. The segments flow naturally, concrete little interesting scenes, like Ryouma on the fly adapting his flesh-melting jutsu into a chakra-destroying jutsu to break down Kakashi's door. Or like Kakashi's expeditious solution to his irate neighbor's ranting. I enjoy how Dark and JB bring the dogs alive with separate personalities, and how Pakkun is comic relief without being slap-stick or ridiculous.

The narrative description is so vivid it's better than watching a movie. "...the seals on his door flared bright blue, then retina-burning white, and finally lashed themselves apart with a crack of light that scorched the wood and seared long black streaks across his ceiling and floor. .....The door ripped off its hinges. In the gently smoking wreckage, badly braced on his crutches and drenched with sweat, Ryouma did not look dead. Furious and half a step from falling over--....."

The Kakashi & Ryouma thread is a strong central voice that I always come back to. I love their complicated friendship, with the sexual component there but not the most important part. Maybe it's best expressed by Ryouma's, "You can't chase me away. ....And I don't feel like leaving." And by Kakashi's reaction, dragging an exhausted hand over a salt-stained face: "I think I want coffee."

Cue the stunned and startled laughter. I love that scene.

The secondary characters have wonderful supporting roles in this thread, and the story would be much poorer without them---Ginta with his sexual interest, borderline obsessive fascination, and the jealousy he knows is unreasonable and is trying his best to control but not....quite....succeeding...... Tsume, who can esteem Ryouma and appreciate his male beauty but can't get close.

Ant Kaito, the Emo-Puppy of Chaos, is certainly the perfect foil for all our dour, embattled, responsible and exhausted heroes who try to keep the world stitched together and safe-as-it-can-ever-be for the youngsters growing up. The creation of Kaito was real inspiration by JB, and admirably handled. I will enjoy watching him be the catalyst for all sorts of emotional chaos among the repressed and responsible, like Raido and Genma, Kakashi, and Tsume and I-have-no-idea who. Kaito is still bumbling and clueless, but not stupid. He's young. He has the social shallowness of the inexperienced, but he's quite competent in several ninja arts. He's the character you love to pull your hair out over.

Asking Kakashi to autograph his bingo book? Priceless!

"Fallen Leaves" has long been my preferred escapist drug of choice. May you all write as long as you enjoy it, and have the time to enjoy it for many years to come.

Dark, you promised there would be threads, and there are THREADS.

WOW.

Kakashi and Ryouma, all dolled up like reader's wet dream...UST!!!!!...Kakashi trying to help Ryouma out by drinking all the alcohol...Kakashi having a mad crush that he is totally denying...I laughed and laughed until I nearly cried. Oh, Ryouma. His being frightened of this new person who has replaced the Kakashi he knows is so believable.

I LOVE YOU TIMES A MILLION. And I am still not coherent.

Straighten up, Face the Day,

silvercaffiene.livejournal.com
2009-04-20 09:00 am UTC (link)

Oh. My. Oh.

Kakashi!!!!! Oh, my pining is over! Straighten up, Face the Day is an AWESOME read! :D

The behaviour Kakashi exhibits when snuggling up to his masses of fur is so AWESOME. I mean, "burying his face into the soft fur of Hoshika's belly" makes me feel so fuzzy!

And Pakkun is so Cute. Really. The bit about puffing up his fur and all that. Argh, I wanna cuddle him! If there's anyone who can make a description so adorable that readers wanna hug the laptop, it's you guys!

And the memories! So poignant and so inherently Kakashi...

"the fifteen-year-old, burned out with loss and grief and a deathwish that had taken him straight into ANBU..."

I can't really say how much this got to me, and I don't know why. It's just that that entire paragraph was almost drenched in the feeling of Time, and it's like Kakashi is just left standing there, the legacy of everyone else.

"And you absolutely haven't been denying the existence of emotions since you were about, oh, seven." -- Perfect, really, really, perfect. Succinct, direct, Pakkun, and so sad.

"You smile like pain. All the time." God, this made me tear up. Seriously. Because it felt so lonely to even be reading, and viewing something so Private.

And the rebuke he gave to Pakkun - the bit about remembering his place in the Pack. Oh man, I was so affected by this! And even Kakashi knows that it's cruel, but he falls back on it. Oh god, And Kakashi almost-strokes him after. Argh, this is killing my heartstrings.

Also, all that info on How to Properly Trap an Apartment is so Awesome. It is made of pure Win!

And then it's all pure awesomeness all the way. I can't express the amazing-ness of this amazing amazing amazing piece of ART. XD

Awesome. I love you!

Till the end of Time!!!!

You are AWESOME!!!! Unending praise and Glory to you!

Oh, HELLO.

You darlings. How much more fanservice could a girl want? The boys get a load off their chests, sex each other up at least TWICE, which was smoking hot, and Kakashi doesn't even run away afterwards.

For me, this was what was missing in the Ryouma/Kakashi relationship - before it had only been mad frantic sex and a lot of angst so you didn't get much chance to see any development, or even know if their relationship was going to go any farther. I love how they are both opening up to each other and becoming more comfortable, so that they can actually talk about things, and joke around more.

The shower scene was amazing - the dynamic between tham and how Ryouma is sort of flung out into the middle of the ocean without a lifeboat, and needs Kakashi to push him around a bit, is great. Their mad sex competition was both hot and hysterical, but the icing on the cake for me was when they just calm down and have a little fun. The last line of the arc was my favourite.

Very Very Happy Reader

My jaw is currently halfway across the room. On the ceiling.

Yesterday, I finished reading up till Watch Me Burn. This morning in school I scribbled the words "Ryouma" and "Kakashi" all over my friends Physics textbook.

Today, I come back home and go to heaven.

Oh my goodness. This week is the BEST!

Firstly, Kakashi returns to the land of the Living! And then he and Ryouma try to grope around a headache, yes and no's, painkillers, questions, and missing memories.

And the way they just pick up and go on makes me feel so reminded that they are Ninja, and so much stronger than a normal person. It just... wows me.

And then Ryouma- Kaka- Ye- No- Arghhhh! This is LOVE.

"Headache? What headache? Who cared about headaches?"

Haha, if I was convulsing before this line, this line sent me to the Epic Realms of Insane Laughter.

Then everything happened. The tongues! The teeth! (The teeth are AWESOME. Please keep them there. Kakashi and canines are the stuff of dreams.

The ANTICIPATION!!! Squeeee~
And the fumbling with the pants, and the showers, cold tile and omigosh, groans and deep throated voices! And oh lord, the cold water was Hilarious, and oh so Lovely.

"It isn't supposed to be enough just looking at you."

Oh gods. Squee. I'm going to be hearing a voice saying that over and over and over again for a few months.

And Ryouma's findings about Kakashi's preferences is just so Delicious.

And then the emotion comes in. Oh my, how can I ever express or describe how amazing this was?

They kissed.

"They didn't need strings. For now, they had steel."

I love this.

I swear, and Laugh it like you Mean it is so... Perfect. This stuff comes from dreams, or somewhere very very lovely. :D

And Onto Laugh like you Really Mean it.

Firstly, Kakashi summoned a dog. And you know, you guys do that cool superhuman tug at reader's heartstrings thing, and I don't know what to say, besides the fact that I should promote Fallen Leaves more often. People would be happier. And the world would be a better place!

And Kakashi bit Ryouma! Oh gods, I was waiting to see this happen. The image is going to be burned onto my retina for AGES.

And then there's talk of tattoos, scars, collars to bring home, and oh my, yummy goodness.

And there was a backrub that made me take a five and stretch, because reading that made all the kinks in my neck announce their presence.

And then there is tongue-chakra-tricks, learning curves, and copying from the copy-nin!

Well, if this wasn't the sexiest piece of writing that I've read, then I'll be damned.

I'm getting pried off the laptop, so I gotta be quick.

But I guess... all I can say is that this was amazing. I mean, this thread is the best mood lifter EVER.

So, as usual, ardent appreciation and love and fangirling, and ultimate gratitude for the fanservice and great writing.

Now I need to clean the blood off my screen.

Cheers~

P.S. - Is it okay if I attempt fan art? :/ I'm sorely tempted.

We finally get to meet his Ise we've heard so much about! And somehow it was just so fitting that she wasn't pretty. I loved the description of her uniform, how it "hugged in some of the right places but most of the wrong ones." I could picture that so well!

And he smiled! Sorta!

I loved how broken they were, sitting together and knowing they were broken. It was wonderful, Fade.

A few errors of the "swapped word" kind, but overall, a very lovely, stormy-purple-black picture. Thank you so much, Fade!

Survivor Mentality

silvercaffiene.livejournal.com
2009-04-22 09:09 am UTC (link)

:D Wow.

The dependence on the thrill of the fight is so captivating to read. I mean, he just knows instinctively that he needs that.

the intensity of life coming face to face with the other thing, adrenaline and blood and pain, and then mission over, sorry guys, you have to pretend to be normal for a while.

So this is what happens when you take away the battle from a ninja. Wow. It's such a simple idea, but really, it tells a lot about the stability of Konoha's agents, even without the war.

And the bit about Konoha coming first was great! It's bits like this that makes the world so three dimensional, all real people and real places and real loyalty.

And the pills Ise gives Ryuichi - the seriousness in which she does so, and the repeated "I know" has such a resigned feel to it.

And the intimacy and trust they share, without sex, but just intimacy is so right . And the fact that they both don't say anything is so perfect. Just perfect.

When I read "she never needed to be." I was affected, I don't really know why. But yeah, that just hit me. I mean, they're right. It was just a simple statement, without eloquent words. Just a simple statement.

The silence stayed for a while, and neither of them broke it. Above them, a storm gathered, no contrast between the new clouds and the night that had been there for several hours. If not for the first raindrops, they wouldn’t have known it was coming at all.

This was beautiful for me. It was just... so perfect.

I loved reading this. :D It's so rare, and such a different side of Ryuichi.

Ask me Another = Reading Pleasure

silvercaffiene.livejournal.com
2009-04-22 09:46 am UTC (link)

Hi again!

Just finished reading Ask me Another!

Man, I do not envy Hiro in going through paperwork hell. The poor lad. The detachment with which he first regarded Genma is somehow, very apt. So Hyuuga, yet distinctively Hiro. I'm so delighted at the newness of a polite Hyuuga. When I heard that there was another Hyuuga in HQ, I went around screaming, "THERE IS ANOTHER HYUUGA!!!" in awe of the coolness of it all. But back to the topic at hand.

Ah, Genma. You poor soul, half married to the hospital wards. :(
Why am I not surprised that Genma instinctively thinks of Raidou in this situation, half dead and blending in with the sheets? But it's so lovely. Such a lovely detail, to read and remember that Genma is remembering Raidou.

Hiro's handling of the situation, the practiced smoothness of the words, and the mental list of information inside his head is really interesting. Intel is always fun to read.

It wasn't as if Shiranui had a choice, after all.

Well, this line made me go, "Wow. Intel is cool, but it sure is scary." :)
It's really great, though, the way it all fits in the grand scheme of things. The way Genma has no choice but to sit through this, and Hiro has no choice to sit through it, too...

Also, the great thing about reading ANBU ninja is that everybody's so damn observant, so every line has detail everywhere. Genma is recovering, and he can still observe just about everything? Wow. The sheer ninja-ness of this makes me happy! :)

And Hiro! Smug Hiro! So cute, I say! Really, adorable, in a sense. Ah~ really, are all Hyuuga this smug? :)

And, back to Genma. The bit about vulnerability, and how disturbing it was tells buckets of how Genma, and heck, all the ANBU, even, are probably so used to being the strongest, such that it's shocking when they are weak.

And of course, the hands. And Genma's resolution to find Raidou and rid himself of his issue made me quirk a little smile. And Hiro, how shocked he was is so apt, what with him being Hyuuga. It fits really well, so when I read it, I was like,"Oh yeah! Man, these guys pay loadsa attention to detail, don't they?"

Because it was great. :)

The bits where we get to see glimpses of what Hayate did tell Hiro, too, proves to make this more and more perfect. So... authentic.

And then there is DETAIL.

Oh, so much detail. How you guys do it, I don't know. But really, it's amazing. Everything I read is so vivid, from the flashbacks to the whiteness of Genma's face, to the expression of blank politeness on Hiro's face, the sound of the notes, the rain running down the windowpane... everything.

And it's so amazing.

And Hiro's comparison of ANBU briefs and regular ops briefs. Once more, lovely, lovely detail, everything contributing yet again to the wonderful vividness of this scene.

And the reasoning behind Genma's disguise. It just fit. It spoke so much about Genma's experience in ANBU, and his status as a veteran.

And then there's just the buildup of tension with Genma's niggling feeling, and unease, and the instinct and the bit of trusting it, and ARGH THIS FEELS SO REAL.

And then there is pain. *wince* Genma, I feel for you. Hope you get better soon.

The pain remained, but it ebbed bit by bit, the longer Genma lay still. He opened his eyes. Hiro, looking far too much like Haruichi, was still there, standing just inside the door, watching him.

This line was just so... wow. Just, the mood. It was so... poignant? I don't know what the word is, but it really is... just wow.

"Go and come back," he said to the empty doorway.

"What's that, dear?" The nurse paused in her prying up of adhesive tape over Genma's thigh.

"Nothing." He closed his eyes, and let the morphine pull him into uneasy sleep.

Perfect. I don't know how you do it, but please don't stop. Because the world will be losing out on far too much. This is beautiful, soft, painful, and a joy to read.

Loved this, is all I can say.

fallen_kakashi
2009-04-22 09:47 am UTC (link)

So much love. This is a seriously fantastic thread, guys. Forgetting the writing for a moment, I just love the premise. Seeing Hiro in action, seeing ANBU having it account for their missions--even the ones that, really, didn't run too off-script--seeing some of the inner cogs in the organization. The realism. *rolls in it*

I especially love how Hiro uses the fact that he's new and young-looking very much to his advantage, without ever seeming smug or facetious. He just does the job, uses the tools available to him, and does it well. It's fantastic to see Genma as the bitter warhorse who still starts to warm up to him--excellent job, that man!

I also adore the juxtaposition of Hiro's mental snark to Genma's utter weariness. It keeps the thread light and clipping along at speed, without ever taking away from the seriousness of Genma's situation. You can tell you guys enjoyed writing it; the writing just sparks.

And Genma. Oh man, Genma. I love his paranoia and defensiveness. The way he's clearly been hung out to dry by Intel before, and how there's no way in hell he's trusting them again--expect he kind of has to. The way he's continually compared to Hayate is fantastic, too, seeing the difference between a rookie and a veteran.

And the details. *rolls ecstatically* The potassium-caused heart attack! Konoha outsourcing its kunai! Having actual EXPERTS devoted entirely just to identifying mark and maker on weapons! Hiro's brief aside about poisoners always using poison when a knock on the head will do just fine! The way Genma continually picks at the things that didn't feel right with his mission, even so long after the fact!

And, of course, Genma wishing Raidou was there. <3

I love Ask Me Another and No Explanation Necessary!!!

The ending of Ask Me Another was so sweet, with Genma not being able to take much more and Hiro's flash of real emotions, it was a very nice touch!! I still loe Genma's reaction to having his hands touched and it's always great to see a new character's reaction to it!

And No Explanation Necessary... well, no explanation necessary. :D My OTP can never go wrong, expecially when in the end Raidou is starting to give into his feelings (even though he doesn't know it yet), and Genma feeling so safe with Raidou makes me feel all warm and happy inside <3333

I haven't read anything with Katsuko until now, a mistake I will definitely correct in the near future. *g* She is a very interesting character and I can't wait to find out more about her. And she is kind of cute!

And JB, you are evil! Very evil. Now I am sitting here and want to know what is wrong with the puppy.

I had a lot of fun reading your thread although I was surprised that Kuromaru agreed so easily to the carrying. Thought he wouldn't be so thrilled about it as it might be a sign of weaknees towards someone he doesn't see as an alpha.

Uwah!

Kuromaru's thoughts about Ryouma are a lovely detail!

"He'd smelled it over the last few weeks, on Ryouma's side of the floor"

:D Such a great detail, reminding us about the new "pack order"!

Oh man, this was great! I loved reading this. Kuromaru was So cute! The first meeting with Katsuko is one that will crack me up forever. :D

It was just to wacky in it's normalcy! Kuromaru was so... himself!

And let's not forget the jittery behaviour and the attempt to hide weaknesses! So Tsume, I guess, it's so... Inuzuka, yet so instinctively human? I dunno, but it was so real.

And Katsuko, Tsume, and Kuromaru! :D The spar was so cool!

And then stuff went haywire. And Katsuko carried them! I'm never gonna get the image outta my head! :D Katsuko is so amazing! And it's so warped, every wince for every minor jutsu, and then she does things like carry Kuromaru like nothing. It's all making everything about her, her mannerisms, and her behaviour, her fighting style, the way she deals with people... I can imagine her, breathing, living, picking kunai outta the ground. She's real. :D

And the fact that it's two people, who share a bond that is ANBU, that is the comradeship that is service to Konoha, both with Chakra systems damaged, in different yet similar ways, and it's everything from Katsuko dealing with it, to Tsume finding help, to all the in betweens of dealing with something wrong so deep inside. :/

And Tsume's worry - it's so deep rooted, it's so tense, it's so painful. The knowledge of the chance that the rot may be there... The spiking concern and fear at the mere mention of a tingle, or pain, it's beautiful to read, and it hurts, too.

"Hoping it looked confident."

""he won't live. It will grow every time he uses his chakra. Maybe fast. Maybe slow. Maybe it'll take one jump where he tries to boost himself, forgetting he can't pull on his pathways. Maybe it'll take years."

They'd gotten it all. Just a headache. It was just a headache. Everything else dismissed, she followed the stretcher down the corridor."

Oh man! Eep, this is amazing. Not to mention I was sitting on air, because I tensed off the edge of my chair. :D
It's perfect. It's fun sparring, it's Tsume and Kuromaru, it's aftermath, it's meeting a new "puppy", it's worries, bonds, and new beginnings, old worry, and everything that is Fallen Leaves and more.

This was love. :D

FAN ART because I promised.

Hello! Remember the rabid fan always drooling over Kakashi and Ryouma?

I've finally stolen the scanner and computer and uploaded my sketches from way back.

I have many more I'm planning to sketch, like a Genma Raidou, and yet more Kakashi Ryouma. And Tsume! And the Hyuugas! And the Ginta! And everyone!! >.< But due to exams and all, it'll be really REALLY slow. So i'm really sorry, but the fanart will take a long long time. However, I had these two on standby.

This is what first came into mind when I read about Katsuko -

And Lead me Away!

http://silvercaffiene.deviantart.com/art/Lead-Me-Away-Kakashi-Ryouma-121065986

:D

I hope you enjoy!!! And uh, I hope it's up to standard.

Hopefully by the time the exams are done, my art will improve, and then I can do everyone's characters proper justice!

"Woke with this Fear"
(Anonymous)
2009-05-03 12:55 am UTC (link)

That was awesome.

I read FL whenever I have time; I'm very behind on threads right now, but I saw the line "There was an Intel agent in dress-greys standing in front of Raidou's door." Coming from Genma, I could not leave that alone.

What a thread. I kept hoping, somehow, it was all an intel mindfuck. That somehow, it wasn't true. Then, of course, at some point, one has to stop deluding oneself. And now, I cannot wait for the rest.

One of the details I liked best was: "It was smart, ruthless, and definitely going to work. Which just had Intel written all over it."

So. Thank you for another compelling thread, and I am eagerly awaiting tomorrow!

	I read Woke With This Fear pretty much without breathing, eyes bulging, mouth hanging open, heart pounding. Genma and Raidou have such a chemistry going, especially on missions, freaking out about each other it just makes you feel the drama so much more. SOMETHING IS SO WRONG AAAAAAA Need. more.

The WMB arc and Survivor Mentality

Multiple feedback. Mwahahaha.

Dark and Ki --

Loved the arc! Kakashi getting roofied was, uh, oddly hilarious. I mean, yes, tragic but--taken down by date rape drugs. *dies quietly* And poor Ryouma, with his anxiety about alcohol and sex. *pets him* That was handled really well, Ki; not over the top devolving into emo, but definite stress and strain. YAY!

Kakashi being drugged out of his mind back in the hotel was seriously sweet, funny, and heartbreaking. Poor boys. That bit where Kakashi starts to try and have sex with Ryouma because the seduction mission isn't over--and he apologizes--was wrenching. And YAY Ryouma for being as awesome as I already knew he was. *loves Ry!*

And the last bit, when they finally have relationship stuff settled and Ryouma proves he's a quick learner is awesome. *grins* Seriously pretty language there, and awwww, and I LOVED the end with the massage and relaxing and just being happy together. YAY! Ah, boys. :DD

And Fade--I really liked Survivor Mentality. The rule of thumb IRL is that the stronger the drug, the worse the side effects/letdown, which makes me wonder about this new drug he has. Ooooh, the possibilities! Also, I find myself going, "Don't do it, Ryuichi! *flails!*" *grins* And it's fascinating to see his friends, and that at least one of them is as fucked up as he is. ;) Poor Ryu. I want him to feel better. >.> (I keep thinking I'd like to throw our characters together, but I haven't had any ideas. So if you think of one, hit me up. ;-D)

WOW, guys. I have a new favorite Haruichi thread. Sna - I love his snark, but I adore seeing him homesick and flustered and slightly off-kilter. It's a whole new side to Haruichi, and I"m basking. Look! Look at me bask! *rolls around in it*

Phi- what a great start to a new character! I love his determination, his relief to be away from his family, especially contrasted with Haruichi's homesickness. And the not knowing what kind of deference to give Haru, but managing it without making Hiro look like a ninny--impressive. *grins* It's very clear between the two of you how much emphasis is put on the clan hierarchy, and how much confusion there would be now. Well, done, guys! I can't wait to see more of both of them. ;-D

	Wow, this was well done. I like how it was paced--hurried and slightly confused. (And the moment with the chuunin in the elevator? Priceless) I can't wait to see what happens next. Keep up the good work! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I had kinda lost my love of Naruto for awhile (esp under the dazzle of a new fandom >_>) but Dark gave me a nudge and I came back :) and waaa I'm so happy I did. Holy shit I couldn't stop talking out loud to my computer during this thread!! OMG!!! Ryouma and Kakashi on a seduction mission is genius XD but then the whole just a kiss before taking down the enemy and then Kakashi drugged out of his mind O_O (first I thought it was ecstasy but then maybe ketamine? who knows...) and then OMG shower scene O_O my head nearly exploded XD my otp lives on and Kakashi accepts that he can't push Ryouma away XD er at least for now lol b/c I can't see that lasting :( but OMG YYAYAYAYAYAY ! :D

Thank you for the lovely chapter I can't wait to read more :D *goes to do so*
