| Did no one ever review this piece?! The readers are nuts! It's really cute, nicely romantic with just that right touch of emotion. I love the humour, Yuki's tender side, and Shuichi admitting he can be the klutz we love him for. Nice work! I hope you add another "scene" to it soon. Good luck! |

| I used to read your Kisses in Fanfiction.net, and I was so sad when I couldn't find your story anymore. Is beautiful, I love those little drabbles. Hope you can upload them all eventually! |

| I've read most of these over on ff.net, had em' favorited, but then I suppose you took them down. I'm so happy you've brought them to gurabite! If I could work up the energy to log in, I'd add it to my rec's. Keep up the amazing work! |

When I read in "jolt" that you began this in early 2005, I was wondering...how'd I miss them all? Then, I checked your author listing and realized you'd just joined this site. I'm so glad you did. These are utterly charming. While you say your characterization shifts, I don't really feel that in essentials it does. Throughout all them you've captured that marvelous sense of Yuki playing Shu on a silver fish hook with a silken line, catching him in a velvet net when he's reeled him in.
Trying not to give anything away...but..Shu on 'Jolt' boggles the mind; Shu counting the minutes until Yuki insults him; Shu's definition of "heaven"... Yuki at the concert...these are all so very Yu/Shu.
Thank you for these, and waiting eagerly for the next. |

| Hmm...how can a man live without imagination? It's a wondrous gift to be bestowed with a wide one. I like the mellow sweetness, it's a break from those rollercoaster fics I have fallen in love with out there...but there's a lot of room for improvement and you can also improve (albeit it was good already). Thanks for the sweet kisses. |

| I like the fact that you post two chapters per update. Hmmm. And what does the number at the beginning of the chapters mean? Nehh, maybe you have explained it somewhere and I missed it. Anyway, your ideas seem to be never-ending! Stereotypical but wonderful. Sweet and emotional. Just the right mix. |

| the numbers are for the LJ challenges yon author of great goodness partakes in. I do love this fic and it has given me the inspiration to continue with mine own. I did note one slight disparity in the fic, but perhaps it was intentional... it started out with "him" and became "you" you might want to adjust that. Mine only found discrepancy. |

| It is so nice! It's just the kind where I turn all semi-goo. Awww. And the latest was different and nice too, with Hiro and all. Where was Shu staying at the moment? I'm really looking forward to this. The latest was different because of the friendship theme and it's so niiiicccceee....ah, I'm repeating myself. Love it. |

| Painful... you really would me up for chapter 16 and the betrayal. THe handholding was a sweet touch, I must say. I'm eager to hear how their love plays out and finds away to resolving this. But the ramifications and the echoes of the trauma will be difficult to manage, I think. Shuichi is a very sensitive person in this story, in my opinion. Poor baby... |

I totally wasn't expecting that, but it makes sense now why Yuki sounded so down on the phone.
My heart is beating a million miles a minute.
I can't even handle the emotion you put into these drabbles, it's amazing.
Please, please, put up chapter 17 soon! |

Ano sa: Sweetly depressing in a way but also sadly romantic. Nice to know that they can show how they feel yet not speak. There are just times when words really do get in the way, even for a songwriter and novelist.
I think I had read up to this chapter before, so I am hoping to read more of this soon! |

Yay! This is really good! Short, but good. Which isn't enough...please update soon, I can't wait for the next one and the one after.
Although Eiri's treachery pisses me off, it pisses me even more that Shu's acting like this. Ah well, they both deserve it. ^^Thanks for the moving plot so far. So continue, I can't wait! |

| Chpt 19- I loved rereading this one - it's one of my favorite from your series. I really can see Eiri snapping like that, it seems so realistic, and how well you have Shuichi understanding him. I just love it:) You're writing is always so powerful, it's amazing how much emotion and story you can pack in just a handful of words! |

Snap: I feel like I'd like to go in and comment on each of these, but I think I'd end up basically saying the same thing, just variations on a theme. I liked the connected set, but these independent vignettes are very, very special. Each one is so wonderfully focused on one singular aspect of this complex relationship. I think this one (snap) is my favorite so far in that it captures one of the most difficult but important aspects, i.e. that uncontrolled part of Yuki, the part that terrifies him so much more than it does Shu.
On a purely technical note, I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the present tense more effectively. |

Wow, I really liked chpt 20 & 21. The introspection of Eiri in chpt 20 didn't feel forced or OOC, and even his apology had a nice in character ring to it. I liked how Shuichi accepted it but still pointed out how abnormal it was, it was a very human and nice touch!
chpt 21 - I liked it alot - showing how although Eiri knew life would 'return to normal' that he was happy to indulge in Shu a bit longer, showing that he's lonely but not broken when he's away. The sex was nice and didn't break the flow of the work :)
Really as always so impressed with you :)I love your writing! |

| chpt 22: I think this is my favorite so far -- the realism and the heartbreak coupled with the confusion of the characters god it was so real I just loved it :) I really really appreciate you for writing and sharing your stories. I loved how you made shuichi mature without making him seem like another person and that you were able to keep Eiri real and also show his character growth as well! |

| I'm kinda disappointed. This is #30, but only Chap 22. Does that mean we won't get the other eight? If so, I'll be content, (don't have much choice, do I?) because this is a perfect final "chapter" to this series. The final line pretty much says it all. Truly beautifully conceived and executed. Some of my favorites of all Gravi fanfic. Thanks so very very much for posting. |

| Holidays - Really enjoyed this latest chapter, it's a nice contrast from the previous one. I liked the overall relaxed and comfortable family feeling. And it's always fun to see what goes on in the Shindou household, especially when you know Yuki is just going to do something naughty! Great job! |

| My word.. I've just read this from the start to the latest installment. I can't find enough words to tell you how incredible this series is. It's such a rare, unique and fresh essence that you've captured. I truely love the interactions between Eiri and Shuichi. Every chapter makes me want to laugh and weep all in the same instance.. and that is a feeling I haven't encountered in a long time. The holiday chapter was such a pleasure to read. Thank you so much for posting, it's truely made my night. |

| Chapter 23: Holidays - Naughty Eiri. But certainly, that is SO true. They're all nuts and they deserve each other! I love the relationship going on between these two, it's just so... balanced. I'm really liking it, enjoying another edition of plausible exchange between these two lovers. I can so see it happening and Eiri is still rather IC. Brilliant. |

I absolute adore this series of one-shots!
You are spot-on with the characterizations, yet you show them growing beyond the confines of the anime and manga in a plausible manner.
I know it is terrible to say this, but I hope you are inspired to write these little snippets for a long time to come! |

I was devastated when this suddenly vanished form ff.net, so it's about time I declare my appreciation for uploading this on gurabite! I don't even know where to begin my praises. I simply adore these little samplets out the life of our favourite couple and I'm always deeply pleased to find a new one. Thank you for taking the time to share these with us. |

I love, absolutely LOVE your "Yuki voice." For my money, you do the best job of anyone I've read (barring of course Murakami herself) of capturing the delightfully bent charm of these two. I also love the way you leave so much to the imagination, letting us be as prissy...or as bent...as we choose!
Another home run. |

Kiss 29:
Really loving the way you've addressed the many facets of this couple's lives together. They just seem more and more right every kiss I read, the dynamics seemingly complex but alive and, in a lot of ways, normal. There are so many ways to relate to your stories, possiblities that a reader can find in common. It's both a joy to read and a lesson on what one could want... or even expect... of a relationship. Really sad that we are now only one story short of the 30-kiss limit.
Many thanks for these cute stories; Cheers! |

Please, Please, Please. Don't make me beg. I know it say 30 Kisses, but please I.Want.More. Couldn't you extend it to 50 or say 100 Kisses. I think that that would be alright with me.

| well, what can I say... I´ve loved this fic since the beguining and I was really glad when you decided to continue it. Some of the chapters have made me laugh, others have made me feel angst and most of then have left a warm feeling in my heart... with few words you were able to transmit how deep the love of our couple was, how much they shared... I have my favourites: "water to whet the appetite" "superstar" "twilight" "electric" "ano sa" "snap" "content" and, number one, "sleepy sex". I really liked "heaven redux" too, but, as it was the last one, it left me longing for more... can we dream with a sequel?? Anyways, thank you very much for sharing this fic with as and congratulations for your writting skills. I´m sorry I didn´t review often, but my english is horrible (so you can see...). I hope we´ll read more of you soon. Love! |
