I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said about how marvelous this fic is. I read pretty much any JE-coupling I can find as long as I know who they are is search of good authors rather that focusing on a single coupling (even though I have to admit that I too have my favourites). So when I spotted a Ryo/Junno I was rather intrigued since it seems like a rare combination. And when I started reading, I can't even describe. Your writing style, your characterizations, everything was just perfect. Shortly into the fic I had already surrendered and was just thankful for finding such a treasure. You truly are a wonderful writer and I admire how you keep the tension and the level throuhgout the story.

There was one particular passage that really had me and that in a way sums up why I love this over any other BDSM I have read lately.

"Not even if Nakamura'd introduced himself some other way than insulting Ryo and trying to order Junno around. Not even if this had all been real instead of an undercover gig. Not him. He'd try to break Junno, try to force him to submit when the entire point is that the submission is willing, voluntary. Control handed over, not ripped away. Trust, not force."

My deepest thanks to you for posting this master piece. I look forward too reading more of your work now that I have discovered you.

*blush* Wow, thank you very much - I'm really happy you enjoyed the story! :-)

Yes, Ryo/Junno definitely counts as a rare pairing, I'd say - which I, for one, think is a great shame. (They go together so well, and so interestingly! But then, you already know my opinion on the matter. *g*)

I'm really glad you found the thought of the combination intriguing, and decided to give the story a try - and that it then managed to suck you in so quickly!

It's always fascinating to know which aspects and parts of a story have the most impact on the reader, and it intrigues me that this passage worked so well - I hadn't expected it to stand out, but I think I know why it does, now that I think about it. I'm very glad that it worked so well for you!

I look forward too reading more of your work

I haven't written much in this fandom yet - and what I have is very different from this story - but I do plan to post more stories in the future, and hope that you will enjoy them as well. :-)

Thank you again for your lovely feedback!
