    literally kept me up all night. the characterization is wonderful-- shu and mika feel in character despite being in an entirely different universe and still had to grow as people throughout this. seeing their performance at the end was so

    knew based on pacing it wouldn’t get much farther than exposition but even then, sets up the characters wonderfully— feels like i’m reading BEAST where the differences to the canon universe still feel like they intersect with canon details & expand on them in their own unique way. the way tecchou and jouno in particular are set up is SO GOOD. tecchou’s disparaged idealism and jouno’s continued activity in criminal activity feel so in character. argh this story is good

    Summary

    In which the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Or, in which the metaphorical and aforementioned “journey” is trying to answer the “Now what?” after you’ve managed to survive everything you thought you shouldn’t.

    Or, the one in which Sunny has a future. Somehow. Against all odds. Now he just has to figure out what to do with it.

    (As do his friends.)
