Really, you've already read it several times? Yay! :-)) That's a wonderful compliment - I am very glad you like it so much!
I really did feel as if I stepped through the looking glass into a completely different world and it was so surreal, and you managed to compound that by switching between real life and that underbelly.
:-)))
I was really intrigued by the sparkly slaves in space AU
You read that, too? Ayeee. :-)
I also love that the ending of First Contact seemed more of a beginning than anything else.
YES! It's just the beginning for Ryo and Junno. :-) (Yes, I am a hopelessly romantic sap. Why do you ask?)
I love Junno.
Yay for the Junno-love! :-) I agree with you that he often seems to be underrated, or underestimated - if it were up to me he would get a lot more attention. *g* And he is definitely far more nuanced than he generally lets on; in fact, I find it pretty interesting in itself that he so often hides behind the clown facade.
I seem to like Ryo better in fic too so.
You don't like him so much in real life? Well, he can be difficult, yes. *g* But in some ways, I feel he's sometimes taken at face value in much the same way Junno is - just one facet of him mistaken for the whole person.
But whatever you think about real!Ryo - I'm glad you liked the version in my story! :-)
And I am very very happy to hear you enjoy the story as a whole so much. Thank you for your wonderful feedback! :-)
