5 - Flow

5 - Flow Hisao lagged behind Emi as the two of them made their way through the sparse undergrowth that was scattered around the forest floor. He had initially been quite happy to hike down the hill from Yamaku with Emi, even if it was off of the beaten path. He hadn’t expected to have to trek throu...

4 - Serenity

4 - Serenity Hisao found his relationship with Lilly troubling. It was... imbalanced. The two of them were very different, of course, but that wasn’t always bad - opposites attract, and whatnot. No, Hisao thought as he walked along the path from the boys’ to the girls’ dorms, it wasn’t a problem th...

3 - Command

3 - Command Hisao, Shizune, and Misha had spent all day doing paperwork for the student council, trying desperately to finish this set of forms before the imminent deadline. Eventually, exhausted, they had completed their work, and decided to order in food. Misha had gobbled hers down in a flash, t...

2 - Epic

2 - Epic Shortly after arriving at Yamaku, Hisao had begun to feel sick. His heart wasn’t coping well, but more than that, he often suffered from fatigue and headaches. Waking up in the morning was an incredible chore, and he felt half-dead in the shower. Luckily, getting to class seemed to perk hi...

Dreamy: 1 - Noise

Well, here it is - and it’s been a long time coming. Those of you who follow my main route, COM(promise) , might have noticed a lack of updates the past few months. This was, for once, intentional: after the most recent chapter, I realized that I wanted to take a little break. I love that story, but...

Crafty's One-Shots (Dec 31st, 2023: Happy With Yourself)

"I'm just gonna write this lone one-shot, then get back to my main route and never deviate from it again." WRONG. "I can just keep making threads for each new one-shot, and link them all in my signature." ALSO WRONG. "Maybe I should scrap this one-shot. After all, I don't re...

Re: Within a Looking Glass – A Rika pseudo-route

I had this story on my radar, and got around to starting it last night. Looking at the first post, I figured I'd only have to read a few scenes, then put another story on the list of those I'm following. After all, this route was started 4 months ago - it couldn't've gotten that far. How wrong I was...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route

One hell of a ride. Loved it from start to finish. In 1977, the deadliest aviation disaster in history occurred on a runway in Tenerife. And if you've heard the story once, it hurts every time you hear it again. Every sentence brings the disaster closer, and you wish that even one thing would change...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180528 'The Ties That Bind')

Loved it! The first chapter is probably my favorite, because I'm a sucker for romance, with no sense of "too far". One of the things I really liked about Lilly's route in canon (that I know others have mixed opinions on) was just how much romance it had, and the first chapter here was simi...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Scar Crossed Lovers)

This is not one of our good stories. Why do you insist on hurting us so? I really should've found time to read Reliable Narrators . I have a feeling that, while it wouldn't've been a favorite of mine, I would probably have given it a pretty good review. Unfortunately, I was a bit preoccupied with t...

Re: Black Iris (A Rin Epilogue; Update 5/1/2018)

I liked it! This chapter definitely had a characterization that was most like the Rin in canon, for sure, though that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. It's subjective, I suppose. Your dialogue and internal monologue continue to impress me. And, of course, we all know the struggle of wanting t...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20180423 'Nomiya POV')

I'm pretty neutral on this one. I know, it's part of the backlash against the intense hatred some people have for the character, but I'm not really fussed one way or the other, so that aspect didn't mean much to me. Without that extra spice, I think it was a little dull, but not terribly so - just s...

Re: Sisterhood: True Edition (Hanako Epilogue) (Completed)

What was presented so far, is just a variation of the dilemma in the canon ending-- good and bad, which I feel they should've already moved on from, or at the very least handled it differently; not do the exact same thing minus a few tweaks here and there. [...] To me, it felt cheap and forced. The...

Re: Sisterhood: True Edition (Hanako Epilogue) (Completed)

Or will there be even more of that drama going forward? This is very much a story driven by hills and valleys. After every rise is a fall, and after every fall a rise, until one of them is the end (and I won't spoil which). That's one reason it can be so long without becoming boring. If you're look...

Re: Operation Normal Social Interaction

This was very well-written, the dialogue and characterizations were brilliant, but the lack of conclusion kind of ruined it for me. It felt like the story was building up to a moral or a twist or something, but instead it just kind of ended, and on a bit of a bleh note too. (there was a bit of a les...
