Literally my favorite work ever. Cannot rate this highly enough. In 15+ years of fanfiction, nothing has ever topped this story for me. I re-read every few years.

I think I've reread this two or three times already? Always a favorite to go back to every once in a while.

[Thy · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a delightful read. I've reread this story twice and it's so beautifully done. Their story (friendship and love) is beautiful and you will fall for Sesshomaru's character even more after learning what he had to endure throughout his life. I love this story.

A beautiful piece of fanfiction that distracted me in the middle of another read. I ended up binge reading all weekend. What talent. Loved seeing what became of all the demons in the future.

[Marie Mann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this story. Loved to see a young Seshomaru and who he was as a young boy. Made me love him all the more.

This is one of my FAVORITE SessKag stories! Maybe I'll read it again, for the 5th(?) time I think... UGH so good!

This is my favorite piece of literature of all time. I cried and blushed and laughed and my heart is full and flowing and I just know I’ll be back again to revisit this story over and over throughout my life.

You truly don’t need to have watched Inuyasha to love this, but I do recommend a few episodes just for some back story.

First Read 2023: I- this was so… ugh 😭🥹🥹🥹

I got into forthys work via the amaranthine saga. Saw her fanart and then found the fanfic links. Figured I’d hit her most popular piece first and wow am I so glad I did. This gives SO much background to the amaranthine saga and makes me love Hisoka so much more.

I also started watching inuyasha for this so I’m really going about it all backwards but it’s all coming together and I feel like I’ve just been let in on the worlds most heart warming secret. Thanks for this one forthy!

This is one of few stories that I really enjoy reading again from times to times, and still have trouble putting down once I (re)start reading it...
Full of well developped characters, this story gave me my first glimpse into a cat that quicly became a favorite in later works too...
The plot is original and well developped, the flow is good, the wording draw a complex canva in a consice, poetic way.
