Constants in Motion

This story did an excellent job with some very prickly, difficult themes -- the sort of "darkfic" issues that you tackle here are so easy to do badly, and you've managed to avoid that quite well. This never feels melodramatic or heavy-handed, just moving and thoughtful. And sweet, in the end.
Nicely done.Constants in Motion

I thought the story was good, but I'm not sure you got Akito's character completely right. It's true that he's cruel and I don't think it's so far-fetched that he might have raped Yuki, but I think there was a lot more to it than that.
The anime also shows us several instances where he seems to have compassion, although its warped, on many of the Zodiac members. I think he's twisted, but I think there's also some goodness left in him--Tohru proves that at the end of the series. And even if the family was somewhat relieved when he died, because they'd finally be free from his frightening reign, I think they'd also be a little bit sad.
I liked the description of Yuki's suicide attempt. It seemed realistic the way that he did it, except I think he might have planned it out a little more. People don't usually try to kill themselves without giving it long, careful consideration.
Yuki and Kyou's interactions were cute, but I think that Kyou still might have lost his temper more often, if for no other reason than just because intimacy makes him uncomfortable.
So besides some minor problems with being a little bit out of character, I think it was a really fantastic story. It was moving, and nicely written. Good job!Constants in Motion

This is really good--a plausible story based on the characters... well, except that Tohru could bear to leave Yuki alone after he had attempted suicide. She would have been by his side at all possible times.Constants in Motion

..........adore I love your story!!! The way it was written was amazing and captivating!!! The beginning was a little different I would have to say, but good, but also a little confusing. You really do have to read the entire story to understand it. I rate this *** five star rating!!!!!Constants in Motion
