Here I am.:D You blew me away--SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Okay lets get right to it. There are many things I love about this fic. But i will try to go in order or it will be all over the place.

First, a general observation, I love how your fics seem like someone threw puzzle pieces in the air at the beginning and by the end magically a completed picture sits before your eyes---only it was put together so gradually piece by piece that you hardly saw any movement or hands putting the puzzle together, the information sort of settling in your brain bit by bit until you understood everything. As I've already told you that was how White Sand was for me, and now that I think on it Jade and Azure as well. Well you know how I felt about those fics and now I must add one more to the list.

I like that when we meet Ohno, we know he does not belong in his environment, but we don't know why. And what we find out about the crew of the Queen Matsumoto, we find out because Ohno must find out, we find out everything because Ohno must adjust to his new environment, because Ohno is searching for a place where he will belong--even if he does not know it himself.

The crew is lovable---yes in general I love Nino best but here we share a similar tendency---I too get seasick (ask me about the catamaran in Hawaii sometime---hilarious). Aiba, Sho, Nino and Jun shadow their RL counterparts in a most delicious way.

I love the scent of adventure. Touches like that gave it a real nostalgic feeling--like an old folktale--and i haven't seen that in a fic before.

I love that Aiba cannot swim--yet he works on a boat. Of course Ohno comes up with a sensible solution. I love how the Ohno character makes suggestions and is the missing piece for all the crew at different times, most especially he complements Jun in this way.

I haven't mentioned your humor yet, but to me if this is a puzzle--that is the glue. One of my favorite parts was when they are fighting the giant octopus---this line--"This one ate meat." I laughed so hard at that.

I love when Jun saves Ohno--the cheetah and the eagle. I was moved by it and i thought it a wonderful way of signifying that they belong together. I love the seed that is planted at this moment, which is so satisfying at the end when you reveal Ohno's secret identity (no I will not spoil here lol)

And then the narrative deepens just at the right time, with the knowledge that Jun's life is in danger. By then the entire crew is precious ne. And we see the loyalty to Jun. And Ohno's love for Jun deepening as well.

I have to comment on the smexiness--hot--so close--almost there--but enough for now (for now :D)

By the end of the fic I was watching out for skeleton hands myself (scary) and being so thankful for Cucumbers existence and of course wanting more more more. This was so wonderful. I've already mentioned how I think you should proceed. I definitely think a sequel is in order, Can you really deny us this? Hugs to you my friend!
