So, I'm usually not into darkfics. In fact, I find the material in darkfics to be too much for in most cases. I first read this because I was very curious. When I finished, I was in shock. This is incredibly good. The descriptions and details really pulled me in. The whole story felt like it took place in a shadow. Even when I envisioned the characters and what was happening, it was like a shadow had fallen over everything.
The atmosphere was dark from the get go. I love that about stories. When an author can plunge the reader into their world like this, it's a sign that the author is incredibly talented. Great job with this! Awesome awesome!
I'd love to see a sequel *.*
Aside from the....Okay.
This was superbly written and for your first dark peice is just..wow. It's awesome. I really don't know what else to say. You did a wonderful job of capturing everything. So much so that I'm not really sure what to write as a review, because it's an awful situation. I give you massive props for have the fortitude to write this, and to portray the characters in this light, most people wouldn't. And the ending is...It leaves it open for more in my mind, all of it pretty much just an ongoing spiral of..bad. We'll go with bad.
Well written.
Lyra (Chapter 1) - Sat 07 Apr 2012
A dark and disturbing tale, but one that stays, perhaps, truer to Sesshomaru's character than anything lighter is able to attain. He is violent in his passions and in his desires, and his obssessions are powerful and directed by his lusts and his rage. Kagome is a fitting object for his obsession, and trapped by the cruelty which is the first thing we see of him, she would, indeed, suffer for it. A very well done rendition of a nightmare situation.
