Hi. I linked here through crystallekil and . . .oh my god. This is absolutely the best Junno I have ever read. This is the best BDSM I have read. I'm not even sure what to say. I am so impressed.

Your writing is beautiful and so rife with real, difficult ~emotion~. I loved how it was so stream-of-consciousness, which is something that you have to be a very good writer to do well.

I just don't know what to say. OH! oh! I am actually speechless. That is sort of new for me, so I didn't realize what it was. I am speechless.

I have one complaint, though. I want more. I feel like the ending left me hanging, wondering what's going on with Junno's side investigation and how the case involving Ragaraja will progress. You've created a fantastically intense little world here. I'd really like to see more of it.

No one really reads my journal but I'm going to link you anyway. I hope that's cool.

*blush* Now I'm not sure what to say either. :-) Except - yay, I am very glad to hear that you liked the story so much - and especially this version of Junno! (I was initially a bit anxious whether he'd come out well enough as a character when the story is from Ryo's POV, and am very glad that he does seem to stand his ground. *g*)

I have one complaint, though. I want more.

:-) Sorry to leave you hanging... yeah, I know I left several plot lines unresolved. This story really was about the "first contact" of the title - about Junno and Ryo connecting, finding a way to relate to each other and - all that. *g* And since that story was told, well. :-)

Junno and Ryo will of course bring Tomo's murderers to justice together, with many a cheerful pun and snarky grumble along the way. And the Ragaraja investigation will indeed become an asset to the Inagawa-kai investigation as a whole, and that... that would be enough plot for a novel, or a series of novels. :-) And I already have way too many stories in progress!

Of course it's cool if you link to me - in fact, it's very flattering, and I am happy you want to. :-) Go right ahead!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback - I'm very glad you enjoyed the story!
