    aw I loved this one too coff, actually more, because it's obvious there was so much work behind this--GAH THE INTROSPECTION I really enjoyed it. I always enjoy it. And I feel somewhat sad and lonely, was this meant to be feel like this, I don't even know HAHA I just don't want to go to bed like this now çOç''.

    I actually find the generation of Miracles disturbingly difficult to unravel sometimes. Most of all, Kise. I didn't really like him when I had my first reading of the manga. I just.. didn't understand him, couldn't quite figure out his moods, his thinking, how he in the first chapters seemed the stereotypical 'fake-smiling guy who gropes anyone and plays dumb but he is actually very insightful', but insightful HOW, I kept wondering, and really, he unsettled me xD What I usually vaguely read in the shipping fandom didn't really help me. But after a while I began to understand, sometimes rereading the manga and sometimes reading fics about him, and I discovered I actually don't like reflecting about him too much because before I know it, he makes me sad--I don't want to say I love him because of REFINED REASONS REALLY, but this fic was really beautiful in that sense (and in other senses too lol). You've managed to recreate that absurd harmony the GoM have, to make them so real and canon. I don't know what to say actually haha I enjoyed this far too much, and I'm not good with words xD
    The part with Aomine and Kuroko, you really portrayed them perfectly. Being a bbiig aokuro fan, I've thought a lot about the issue kise-kuroko-aomine, and I don't want to open a discussion LOL but you managed to convey that feeling of 'third-wheel'ness (lol) so well I felt my heart clench ç-ç

    I also love how Aomine is always the fat plant in fics ahhaha but even if he is, he has always such a BIG impact on people, wherever he goes and whatever he does, and to me that's SO like him, really (and I know because I fell victim of this too after hating him for some chapters lol, and that just by reading a stupid manga HAHA this is so sad)

    "“The week before that it was Manhattan, and the week before that, Sydney. You've been doing this since we were at Teikou. I'm sure ten years from now I'll still be receiving the same utterly stupid and irrelevant SMSs from you, regardless of where you're working or living.”"
    I swear at this I almost started SOBBING LOL but I ordered myself not to because it would have been kind of pathetic - seriously, who cries over a sentence like this NO ONE DIED FOR CHRIST'S SAKE - but but but this, just to let you know how much I was engrossed in the reading.

    I would like to worship your writing abilities and quote stuff a bit more (I would fawn over this SO MUCH more, seriously), but I am so tired I can't even put another thought together x°°

    Bye and thank you for this wonderful thing çwç

      thanks for this lovely comment! Haha I wrote this fic in a ten day spurt of anguish and frustration and sobbing at half_sleeping over gchat a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was quite an interesting exploratory exercise for me in tying to figure out the miragen and who they are.

      Kise when I write him is always equal parts confused about whether it's Aomine or Kuroko he's in love with, poor boy; and yet it's somehow the same thing - at first it looks like Aomine and kuroko represent totally opposite aspects to basketball, but for me at least, Aomine and kuroko are in the end flip sides of the same coin.

      I think somehow in all my possible AUs and futures for Aomine he ends up lolling uselessly on a couch like a sack of potatoes, hahaha. He is absolutely my favourite character in the series tho, I could watch him play basketball forever.

      Again thanks for the kind words!! (are you in need of an AO3 invite, btw, I've noticed you hanging out on here a fair bit. PM me at sicariorum @ tumblr if that's the case?

        I can imagine it, well I can say at least the sobbing, although painful, brought you wisdom and insight lol.

        I ABSOLUTELY agree with what you said, that's exactly how I think about it xD Kise loves them both for different reasons and can never decide--but before he decides, he realizes Aomine and Kuroko sometimes live in a world of their own that he can't really enter.

        I understand you so much, I didn't really like him at first because he sounded like a bad come-out of a villain, but then I saw him play... I reread the parts with Touou matches hundreds of times, I don't know if it's his eyes, the way he moves, his concentration, but I just can't get ENOUGH (he would be my favourite character if it wasn't for Kuroko-- I actually NEED it to be Kuroko haha I feel the need to like him because, in his own way, he's the most normal one and he is so strong and determined-- he deserves to be my favourite. But this doesn't really make sense.)

        No thank you very much, as you see I was told by the site to wait until the 19th, so now finally, here I am xD
