Date: 2012-04-05 11:45 am (UTC)i know it's daft to start with this, but i LOVED how and where you ended it. just right. *satisfied noises*
ok, so, parent time. awkward, so very. but sweet. and a BIG ran-chan [droll, very droll, hair lolloping proportionately one supposes?], and MORE hamster troll, [yes! new fixation], and mama-kazu scolding but obviously loving her son and jin [i mean, who wouldn't. jin here is so wrap up and take home and keep warmable..meep]. and papa-kazu and soggy doggie ball. and kame gets scolded for midori but that's good and right, and jins a bit in love with kame's parents like they are with him - cos this does work a bit like this in families too, right? where it's all good, anyways.. i know i have 'the friend of my kiddo are my kiddos' mentality. so gf/bf must be much more.. oh and the fluffy smex, and Jin's hair falling in both their faces ggnnnhhhh. oh the hair. falling. in both. their faces. you two do things to me..then this to die for: Kame thinks his chest isn't big enough for what he's feeling. no words..just breathing..
ok better move on to other phrases am cheering you on for being particularly something for moi. please appreciate my restraint:

ok better move on to other phrases am cheering you on for being particularly something for moi. please appreciate my restraint:
<iHis back hasn't touched the sofa, but this could have gone so much worse.></i> nicely put.
<i>He hates the thought, like his brain got dirty from all that whoring. Normal people who meet Kame's dad won't have that split second of wondering, of checking how he compares in the teeth and nose-hair department. He doesn't remember the last time he talked to an older guy <b>he wasn't trying to fuck.</b></i> good. just like kame with midori fall-out, jin won't just walk away from his time at the club. it'll be around them - and who knows what odd encounters they'll have over time? but they'll deal. meanwhile, this. inevitable. but he doesn't throw a hissy fit. good man. and the last bit in bold. glad you put it like that too. because he was. trying to fuck them. it never just happened. he worked on them, won his clients. that was his job. for the money. ok nuff said. but yeay, bit of necessary reality. thx..
and <i>Eventually he'll stop feeling like a damp shirt hung out in the breeze.</i> woah. i like.
<i>Jin's smiling. He seems to consider waiting until he can finish his sentence but after a few seconds the smile becomes a grin and he shrugs, says a few words to the drummer behind him, and launches into the rich, pounding chords of his second piece.</i> the jin we love. happy in his music..
and i so like that you rounded it off with yamapi, and his tacit approval. and their feelings. and oh so much happy. THANKYOU. *skips off for the next bit of the day with a big ninja grin: an actual comment on the day.. :D*
health [jo] & wellness [both] on your week gals..

Date: 2012-04-07 02:31 pm (UTC)Glad you liked the parents. We figured someone should scold Kame at least once on the principle of the thing (and we could just imagine how outraged they were on Midori's behalf even as they love their son!) so we had fun with that, and we're glad you liked that. And Jin with the parents, yeah -- Jin's not had the best luck with parents in this universe, and so some parental figure being nice to him... he's very very receptive to that kind of thing. *g*
jin won't just walk away from his time at the club. it'll be around them - and who knows what odd encounters they'll have over time? but they'll deal.
Yeah. Not too many odd encounters, we figure they can catch a break, but you don't go from being available for sex and trying to chat people up for sex eight hours a day to a normal life with the flip of a switch. Jin's trying and it's not nice when he gets reminded by his own brain what he used to do, but he's not going to castigate himself too much about it either. It'll just take time.
And we're glad you liked the sex. *g* Kame was appreciative too, poor guy.
Thank you for this great comment and letting us know about all the things you liked! Hope you're having a good Easter weekend too!

Date: 2012-04-05 12:21 pm (UTC)I loved the first meeting with his parents and especially Jin and Kame's dad bonding over soccer and Ran-Chan. Momentary blink when you mentioned the huge furry beast though. You made him bigger for this, yes? Only now I've had an attack of the giggles picturing Kame with Ran on his shoulders if Ran is some humongous St Bernard sized thing... And I totally loved the scene between Kame and his Mum. I'd smack him around the head for sure. You see?! You feel much better now that you've told your Mum! And Kame's pre-famous eyebrows. Heehee!
Eeeeeeeeh! Jin is going to be super famous and Tomo is warming to Kame ever such a little *flings arms happily around all of them* I am so looking forward to the epilogue but already know I'll so be gutted when this ends. Fantastic writing <3
(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-07 02:33 pm (UTC)LOL furry beast! Yeah, Ran-chan got changed in size and breed when we mixed things up with their families in general. We wanted their families in this verse different than IRL, and since Kame's parents actually have quite a big house, we figured we could change up Ran-chan too. (We admit to a certain enjoyment of scaring Jin with big slobbering dogs. Have we mentioned we are evil by nature?)
Hee, glad you liked the mom! We like her too. And someone should smack Kame for the Midori thing, we figured.
Jin is going to be medium-famous but Yamapi is warming to Kame ever such a little, yes. *g* Thank you so much for this! Hope to see you next week!

Date: 2012-04-05 02:12 pm (UTC)Though I was almost freaking out on how it will turn out..
But Kame's parents are so nice and they like Jin..which is good! Ran-chan, too.
Btw, I love how you portray Kame's parents. They just want what's best for their son and they want him to be happy.
And Kame's definitely contented and extremely happy with Jin, so...they don't have much choice do they? ;)
Tomo, too. Although he won't admit it straight away, he's starting to accept Jin and Kame's relationship.
Everyone's just giddy with happiness!!!
On a different note...
Honestly guys, I'm getting a bit emotional here because this fic was the reason why I joined LJ in the first place.
I had been a silent reader until a few chapters later when I couldn't hold it anymore and I just had to comment!
Anyways, thank you so much for writing this wonderful story. It introduced me into a whole new world of fanfictions.
I hope you'll continue writing this kind of epic stories for a long time. :) Again, THANK YOU!!!
(sorry for the ramblings but I just had to let it out) (｡-_-｡)

Date: 2012-04-07 03:08 pm (UTC)We're really quite touched that this fic is what brought you to LJ. Thank you for letting us know that. :) We hope you find lots of other lovely stories! (And maybe write some? Who knows?)
See you at the epilogue next week, and no doubt on other occasions later! :Dv

Date: 2012-04-06 04:59 am (UTC)This chapter just had so much amazing awesomeness in it I don't know where to start.
Well, first off, I (again) had a very crappy day today, and this (again) helped with it SO MUCH and now I'm tempted to go all WHAT WILL I READ WHEN I HAVE BAD THURDAYS NOW on you but I guess that can wait until next week...
When I was thinking about how this chapter would start, (cuz yes that's what I do at work on days that are not Thursday) I pictured something like this:
Kame: It's going to be fine.
Jin: I know.
Kame: Really, you have nothing to worry about. Don't be scared.*frets*
Jin: I'm not.
Kame: You really don't need to worry. You don't need a paper bag to breathe into do you? *hands him one*
Jin: No, I'm fine.
Kame: You sure?
Jin: Yeah.
Kame: Jin?
Jin: Hmm?
Kame: ...Give me the bag.
XD Nearly squealed at how it did start (and I Do Not Squeal.)
It's totally all kinds of awkwardness at first but that's to be expected. Kame's parents are lovely people. And good parents, Kame's mom scolding him for all his stupidness and Kame's dad telling Jin about Kazuya's baseball broken windows and playing with the great big AU Ran-chan. And I totally knew they would love Jin because HOW CAN YOU NOT like, seriously. Shy/sweet Jin is all kinds of snuggable.
And then Kame and Jin talking about the future cuz This Stuff Is Here FOREVER. (And yay for Akame puppies!)
And they are so sweet in bed together. Jin's all for Kame now and they're both so happy, with Jin's hair in their faces and Kame pressing their foreheads together... #allthewarmfuzziness
And Yay for Tomo taking a step forward into accepting Kame. I would really like to see how their relationship develops as the years go by, how Tomo starts to see just how amazing Kame is.
And the way you ended it all was just... great. XD It was great.
I feel all emotional and nostalgic now. *sniff*

Date: 2012-04-07 03:09 pm (UTC)Admittedly, your start and our start were not to dissimilar. >_> (We just all know Kame too well!) Except a paper bag would have been a little inconvenient for the driver of a car to employ. (Then again, given the antics Kame has gotten up to in cars before now, maybe not. He should start to keep one next to his emergency cigarettes and lighter.)
Shy/sweet Jin is all kinds of snuggable.
We are now picturing Jin being snugged by Kame's mom. He'll probably faint.
Tomo&Kame - baby steps. :) But yeah, give them a decade or two... :p
Argh, nostalgia... wait, wait, we aren't completely done yet! (But we're glad you like our ending!)
(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-08 10:40 pm (UTC)Why do you always have crappy Thursdays? You need to do something about that.
I have a lot of crappy Saturdays too, but nobody helps with those... ;)
And Jin totally needs the love from a mother figure, and a father figure. It looks like Kame's parents might eventually be able to provide that someday. :D
I first got nostalgic about a month ago... I can't help it, this fic has been in my life longer than some people okay?.XD.(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-05 08:32 pm (UTC)Things really seem to be going well. Cannot wait for the epilogue even if it sadly means the story is over. But I guess it has to end someday.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-07 03:09 pm (UTC)Yes, it has to end. Happy ever after. But maybe we'll find another (shorter!!!) epic to write for them after. *g*
(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-06 01:25 am (UTC)after the epilogue, Thursdays will never be the same again T^T
About jin meeting the parents, you could really feel the tension there!
but they are so sweeeeeeeet!!!! >w< *squeals*
(no subject)
Date: 2012-04-07 03:24 pm (UTC)Tense moments with the parents, yes, it was so important to him that they'd like him. Just as well they're such lovely people. :)
Thank you for commenting! ♥

Date: 2012-04-07 03:24 pm (UTC)Thank you for letting us know you've been enjoying it. But OMG, another 57 chapters would kill us. They'd kill Kame and Jin too. Those two deserve some peace in this universe. We'll go create havoc for them in different universes now. ;p
Great to hear from you! ♥

Date: 2012-04-12 11:09 am (UTC)I love the encouter with Jin and Kame's parents. That it started a bit awkward and maybe even tense, but then it becomes all sweet and lovely. It's nice and realistic and that's awesome. :) Kame's parents are so cute, really. And I'm happy for both Kame and Jin, that they accept them as they are. Although mom's scolding was quite neccessary as well, I think. At least she's completely honest with her son, so it's alright. And I like how Kame (and Jin) can be all honest now as well. Okay, except for one little secret, but that's allright. xD Parents don't have to know every tiny little detail after all. LOL
It's also sweet how Kame's father talks to Jin. I thought that he was a bit more complicated and narrow-minded than Kame's mother. But I like it more that he's nice and trying to get to know Jin a little, trying to let Jin get to know them and what their life is like. Very heartwarming moments there. <3
I especially love this line:
"Well, if you can manage to drag Kazuya away from his work and out here more often, this lady here will be grateful to you."
This is soooo cute! Q__Q And I hope that Kame's dad implied that him and his wife will be grateful to Jin then, too. And also happy to see both of them more often.
Also I love that Jin and Kame are making plans for the future already. That they are not continuing with their "what if that doesn't really work out for a long time" thoughts. And now I wonder if Jin - in.. ten years? - when everything is settled and they have their house and their dog, will be like "Hey Kame, why don't we try to get a baby now?", if Kame would react the same way? XD OMG such a random thought actually. *coughs* But it would be sweet. No doubt. Of course that doesn't mean it won't be sweet without a baby. ;) They are a great couple now actually. Can't stop loving them and flailing every time I think about this story. Q__Q
He stretches up for a kiss, the kind that make Kame feel like they've known each other like this forever.
THIS! OMG THIS! (I just had to mention that. xD Just because I'm so happy, Kame feels that way, because I love the feeling when you don't know a person for very long but it feels like that person has been with you forever.)
It's nice how their sex is pretty discreet now, but still so...significant. Now that there are no worries anymore. And no other men. They deserved that!
Oh god, Jin is adorable when he's on stage and talking. That cracked me up as well.
I hope things between Kame and Tomo will get at least a bit better soon. But it's nice they met again in the last scene of this. And it's much appreciated. *g*
Things turned out just awesome for them and that makes me happy. I can't believe this is (almost) the end already. Q__Q And the epilogue is just sitting there and waiting for me. If it is as nice as this chapter, my brain will need forever to switch from vjnpi qkrüäqolär oq3äü-mode to normal-mode again!

Date: 2012-04-13 06:58 pm (UTC)We're glad you think so! We had fun plotting and writing this and we're glad we got to show the parental reaction there. :D
We're on the verge of hopping off to Japan and today has been CRAZY, so please forgive us if this reply seems short, but we really loved this comment and all the details in it!
It's nice how their sex is pretty discreet now, but still so...significant. Now that there are no worries anymore. And no other men. They deserved that!
:DDDDD
We were pretty sure about no babies for the longest time, but things do get different when you take into account how long ten, fifteen years can be and how much can change, so... we do not know about babies. *g*
We think Kame is on a good trajectory with Pi. Just needs to put in some more work of being Sane and Nice and Supportive of Jin and Yamapi will forgive him that he once was a skeezy exploitative client. :-)
We hope you and your brain enjoy the epilogue! ♥
