My conclusion after reading all the things people have to say about Nurse and Meiko is that they're like a dash of spice on the dish that is KS. If that's the case, Rin Tezuka is like the odd but substantial ingredient that some people just can't identify, but which gives the dish a distinctive ...

That’s adorable. Short and very, very sweet. Thank you.

Happy Birthday, Rin Tezuka! Oh, and Emi bought you some of those little cakes you like.

Great to see another installment of this story! There’s just not enough Rin in the world… :D Once again, really nice work, and thanks so much for sharing it. One of the things that’s so much fun about Rin is that everyone’s version of her can be a little different and yet still be right , and this is ...

I really should have asked permission from Sadako but it's just a little easter egg for those who read the awesome Fractures You’ve no idea how happy it made me to see Magic Marcus in there. :D Blimey, we’ll have a shared universe going on at this rate… (Seriously, stop reading my bollocks and go re ...

That’s beautiful. A sweet, compact little piece, and I love the loop…

Really gorgeous, thank you.

Not gonna lie, Lilly's dark joke there really scared me for a bit haha. I was very relieved to find that Emi was more or less fine. Anyways, as others have said, great story. Definitely my favorite thriller on the site, and one of the better ones in general. Kinda sad that Hanako never made an ...

Wow, thanks so much, everyone! Really kind comments, and it’s humbling to see Fractures up in the Library already. Honestly, doing this has been a genuine pleasure, and I’m really glad people enjoyed reading it. You are officially not a heartless bastard. I was getting worried after the chapter 19 cl ...

Story Notes – End of Line So, finally, here we are at the end of Fractures . It’s been a long road, far longer than I anticipated when I started – didn’t I say something about estimating 25-30K? More like 53K! (A slightly re-edited version of the whole thing is on Ao3 here: http://archiveofourown.or ...

21. Coda “ Dad? ” There was no answer. There never was. All Emi Ibarazaki could do was lie there in the dark, listening to the phone ring while the dream’s last sobs choked their way out of her. “Damn it,” she muttered. She sat up, wiped a hand roughly across her eyes, clearing her vision enough to ...

20. With Regret “Miss Satou? Are you all right?” Lilly jolted upright in her seat. “I’m sorry, what?” “Is everything all right?” Marcus asked her, this time in English. “You stopped typing ten minutes ago. I just wondered if there was a problem.” “Oh dear.” She had been completely lost in her own th ...

But for a more in-depth comment now that I've had some time to think about it, I really loved the girls facing down Ryo. Lilly going full Scottish and Rin pulling a matrix move... Great scene. It's good to see Shizune is alive at least and that Misha is okay-ish. Another thoroughly enjoyable ...

19. Fight / Flight Ever since the previous evening, when she had seen those melancholy photographs of Yamaku in Rin’s book, Emi Takada had been afraid. Frustratingly, she didn’t know exactly why. Emi was a practical young woman; ghosts and bad omens were entertaining fictions to her, nothing more. T ...

Well, here we are again. And for the second time, a lot later than I’d like, so I can only apologise for that. No excuses this time – I just couldn’t get the damn chapter right until I’d re-written the opening segment about six times, and even now I’m not 100% happy with it. Oh well. Thank you all so ...

18. …Came the Minotaur No-one spoke, on that final drive up to the school. Emi Takada wasn’t entirely sure what had robbed her companions of speech. Apprehension, maybe, or the weight of their memories. Perhaps the sight of the Shanghai tea room standing so empty and defiled had stilled them. Wh ...
