I just finished the latest of your updates. The chapter left me in tears from laughing at the scene during dinner. It is good to see that Ajuga is doing well along with Diaemus loved the little joke he made and that she was agreeing with him. The end of the chapter left me shocked. I hope that Grimmjow will be ok along with Karin.
I look forward to Wednesdays more than any other day because I know that there will be a new chapter out. You are amazing at writing along with those who help you. Now for the next chapter will it be abut Karin and what happened to her or How Yuzu and Ryuuken met.

Noooooooooo!!! Lol
God, you really know how to put your audience on the edge of their seats!
I'm somewhat apprehensive on the next chapter. I wanna know, but I'm dreading the worst! Lol

I do have to say, I kinda like the idea of diamus & ajuga together, even it wasn't their choice to begin with lol. I hope they grow a bit more closer though hehe.

Still enjoying this story. From where the plot is now I find I'd like to be following it from many different perspectives, Tatskui, Ajuga/Diamus, Karin, Syazel, Renji. I liked how you did that pairing you stated you wouldn't do years ago. I'm glad Stark found someone.

2 chapters! How lucky are we?!
I have to say, I never even considered the thought of Nanao & starrk together, but it worked out appealing to me muchly.
I also very much love how you have portrayed starrks attitude towards the whole situation with Nanao. It really does fit his character to a T.
I do wonder how Hanna will react to the new outcome though hehe. Hopefully there won't be to many rustled feathers/fur between them all.

As for summer, well that has kinda come & gone where I am. It's now coming into winter & is getting rather cold *which doesn't bother me too much, if I didn't have to go to work lol*
Rugged up on the couch is where I would like to be haha.

That Aizen, what a d-bag. I hope it backfires on him. I'm glad Nanao didn't die from claiming and I'm glad there was a spark between them, I thought they'd make a good pairing considering Stark and Shunsui are alike, yet I think his personality is way more introverted and considerate. Tatsuki and Tesra was a surprise to me, tho. I can see how Tatsuki's sense of justice and protection would win out over fidelity, yet I really wanted to see Tesra put his foot down and say no. Guess he'd do anything for her, though. I wonder if you've written how that all plays out. Keep up the good work.

This is sort of a little coda to the review-proper that I posted. I'd like to talk a bit more about the possible developments from the different claims made in chapter 68. First off, it'll be interesting to see how things might change in Tia's household. As Toshiro reasoned, having Iemura around will be helpful, since he's a highly trained physician. And with Sungsun holding his claim, he can't be forced to act against the conspirators. I hope we'll get some insight on Mila and Apacchi's "girlfriends" at some point.

As to Tatsuki getting Tesla to claim a second female... It doesn't really strike me as being an issue of fidelity, and Tatsuki would hardly be jealous when it was her idea, seeing as she'd know that Tesla would have to have sex with her. The fact that Tesla also chose the most frightened and emotionally vulnerable of the female Officers shows that the main motive was to protect her and keep her from being exploited or abused by a less sympathetic owner. And on a purely practical note, there will soon be FOUR infant cubs to take care of in the house, so having another pair of hands around the den to help out with the kids would just be a bonus.

And of courses, I can't end this without mentioning Franque and Michiko Lloydt. These two started out as background characters, and now I find myself wanting to see more of them. Franque is so over the top and funny, I really laughed out loud at the scene with him and Michiko. The fact that she's so thrilled by the idea of her mate having a boy toy makes it even funnier. Please Nova, we have to see more of these two at some point.

I loved loved that chapter with Nano and Stark also enjoyed the last one as hard as it is the way things happened with those claimed I thought it was amusing and It made me love Tasaki for making Tersa pick that girl! It was awesome with those that picked their claims so very awesome with how Harrribel's fraction!!! I can't wait to see how things play out. Also adored the last chapter with Ichigo and Rukia!!! Great job as always :) and for the summer I hope to swim some and tan like a normal person and not be so pasty white ;)

@Chapters 68-69: Well now, this was certainly an unexpected development... Though, it wasn't exactly horrible, in fact it was downright intense and even funny at times. I had a feeling Mila and Apacchi would choose girls, since they're both "doms". And it sort of makes sense that that Sunsung might choose a man, and Iemura is probably glad to have been picked by the girly one of the three. And I had a good laugh when Francque scampered over to the one guy and declared that he'd "take good care" of him, and then his _pregnant_ mate's perverted yaoi fangirl glee. And Hitsugaya's reaction to the whole display was pretty funny- considering that he can still be so uptight about certain things, even after sixteen years.

I wasn't all that surprised that Nnoitra wouldn't want another claim. As has been pointed out, he chose Rangiku because she embodied everything he wanted in a female (his 'checklist', so to speak). Though it was an interesting bit of insight that Tatsuki was the one to suggest that Tesla claim another woman to keep her safe. It guess it makes sense, given all the times Tatsuki has gone out of her way for the sake of another person. And given the gray morality of the predicament, the orderly way in which the claims seem to have played out could have been a hell of a lot worse. I loved hearing about the differing reactions of Ulquiorra and Orihime to Diaemus' "engagement" to Ajuga, and the fact it makes them members of the Royal Family. But then, Orihime wants to have/be part of a big family. And Ulquiorra, well he'll live being an in-law of both Grimmjow AND Ichigo.

As to the final- and biggest!- development of the last two chapters, Stark and Nanao... I wasn't bothered by it, but I wasn't sure how to feel about it the situation they'd been put into. Though I was glad to see that Nanao chose to be positive about the whole situation, making a conscious choice to enjoy herself rather then feel guilty or disturbed. I really liked the fact that she's not embarrassed or upset by her own sex drive, especially seen when she effectively takes charge of the coupling to enjoy it to the fullest.

And I hope that Stark doesn't feel too guilty about claiming Nanao, not after she just ran off to go talk to Tatsuki and Rangiku about the mind-blowing sex they just had! It'll be interesting to see how this could effect the dynamic between the four of them, given that Stark is even more attatched to the remaining members of his "pack" than he was before. Can't

Any way, the chapters were great and I CAN'T wait to read the next chapter!

Thank you for the double chapters this week.

I could feel the nervousness that our characters were feeling while waiting for Aizen, especially after Unohonna shook her to an approaching Jushiro. You could feel the apprehension, tension, the fear of our conspirators. Before this joining of forces would Haribel have stood up and asked her question about Hana - which shut Starke down, and most probably, from going off on Aizen? I don't know but now the threads of treason are mor important than attaining a higher number.

I also wanted to compliment your writing on the claiming between Starke and Nanao. I read that you were 100% against bringing them together, but I honestly felt it was a natural progression for them. ...and it was his first kiss.
It was written very nicely.

Did you say fishing? Fortunately for me, where I live, we can fish year round a d literally 24\7 and we do. We fish off piers, docks, boats, deep sea, fresh and salt water.

Thanks again for continuing to share your stories.

Can't tell you how grateful I am that you kept the entire 33 page chapter and split it into two without trying to edit or cut back on any of it!

Both chapters were wonderful of course. Have to say a small part of me was a tiny bit concerned that Nanao might not survive, that maybe you intended to use her death as a last means of motivation to spur Stark into action (though I think we'd all agree he already has all the motivation he needs to go against Aizen by now).

I really love how it turned out......the internal conflict for Stark and all of Nanao's actions/feelings and their conversations. I love how she made him realize that she was fine (and happy) after being claimed.....and how we now know that Stark isn't a monk or something! lol

Keep up the great work!!!!!
