oh my god this chapter hurt, but no one does angst quite like you do. Also I love love love your characterizations, I was just going to go with your Kohakus but honestly all the characters in your stories are wonderfully written. 

A cold story that is excellently written.

So dark, but I could not stop reading from the start all the way to the end! Your words are ming-gripping!

and the ending was just so T_T

I so enjoyed this. It was so dark & twisty just like Control. I like how your mind works. I thought Yashamaru was somehow her kid that'd survived but I guess not. Great job! 

THAT ENDING GETS ME EVERY TIME!!! Maybe they stopped doing awards by the time you wrote this, but I think it's safe to say that THIS is thr best piece of fanfiction I've ever read and most definitely should be awarded (with the exception if you'r current project, "Control," which is so fucked up I can't even describe it and I can't wait for more). 

So incredibly dark. Wow.

Oh my GOD I have not logged onto this site in ages. I was thinking weeks ago how badly I wanted to know the ending to this fanfiction and just now got to check on it, and to my delight you finished it- and I devoured it with GUSTO.

LOVED IT.

I enjoyed your character development most, even in such a dangerous one like Sesshoumaru. I think writing an antagonist is pretty difficult, especially with such dark material- too often writers tend to soften them into a charicature of their former self, and they aren't as scary. Sesshoumaru was chilling throughout this whole story. The ending was fulfilling in a bittersweet way- loved the tie in from an earlier chapter where he mentioned tearing her heart out. Thank you for writing such a strong story! 

Love seeing you continuing your writing- eagerly awaiting updates on Control. I'm feeling inspired for some fanart, but it might have to wait until after classes are through lol. ;) 

I should have heeded the warning this was a dark fic & I'm not made for those... I feel so empty now T_T i wanted a happy ending but i tried searching for it in the wrong place.... T_T T_T....  Thank you for writing it 

this is an extremely good story. i felt the emotions Kagome was going through when dealing with Sesshoumaru and what he was doing to her. Sesshoumaru's obession with Kagome was/is frightening. i don't think i would want someone like that. he did everything to keep her focused on him. he even killed his on offspring to keep her to himself.(Spoiler) i did like the times of defience from Kagome, but when it was all said and done, when she had the chance to leave him, she stayed. even though she hated him, she loved him as well. even though Sesshoumaru was obessed with her, he was afraid to be without her. yes, he stole her from the life she wanted with Inuyasha, but i think he was afraid she would reject him and so he did what he did. he even approched her when she was little and placed the Jewel in her and claim her as his. killing her family in the future was just another way to keep her all to himself. this is a very different portrayel of Sesshoumaru and Kagome and i'm glad you wrote this story. i loved it. keep up the great writing. c'ya' 

Though tragic yet beautifully ended, after reading the side stories and the explicits, and then this one...idk if i can really say that , that i did understand sesshomaru now in this story, No, sesshomaru does not Love or that he believes, that love was just a human notion, however as a reader of this story, what i want to believe is that this is his way of loving her, provenly by his obsession of her, his possessiveness and his jealousy ready to kill any rivals. I believe that the Halcyon time that you have post on your blog is the somewhat happy ending of this story. Thank you for writing such dark yet beautiful story like poet, you're awesome and very talented writer, you have a beautiful mind, YOU'RE ONE EVIL- GENIUS OF A WRITER WOMAN!!!

Very well done!

Simply brilliant! A lot of the darker stories on this site tend to lose the focus of being dark by the end but this hasn't been the case with Stasis. I felt like I was losing grip on what was real and what wasn't along with Kagome. This is definitely one I'll revisit when I'm in the mood for a dark read!

well... where should I start?

first of all compliments on an amazingly written piece! you blew my mind away and I applause to your raw talent that you kept polishing through this story. it is phenomenal!

other than that... I have mixed emotions, don't take it as bad since only a truly talented writer can make me feel so many emotions that even though I was in class and I read the chapter before the start of the class, my mind kept on going back to it and my emotions were in turmoil!

so I would continue by saying that I am sad, defeated, dejected, angry and just down right in hysterics at the ending. 

I applaud Kagome on staying strong till the end. 

now on the topic of Sesshoumaru and his sick obsession with Kagome. the conclusion for me was that for his she until the end stayed a mixture of that saying: hurt me so I can hurt you till I can get my satisfaction. all this for his vendetta against his brother. she is nothing more than a criss-cross of a shiny jewel with a drug. like how some people want the biggest diamond so that they can own it and use drugs to feel better. Kagome is the jewel for him literally and virtually. if someone could make him check his head. its the first time I ever hate Sesshoumaru. and the love you mention Kagome has for him, makes me shake my head in denial, like what love? don't get me wrong, you wrote it so well that I literally see the characters coming alive. just the fact that I see kagome no more than a possession... that is what makes me the saddest... the degradation of everything that makes her a human female. she could've loved him but he chooses to own her.  

I regret her staying with him, some may call it extreme, but I would rather drown at the deepest end of the ocean, try bakusaiga or attach myself to a Rocket that flies to Mars. I feel disappointed because of my own expectations that despite everything she would get a reprieve, not continue living like a shell of herself and robbed of everything that makes her Kagome. not a happy ending with flying unicorns, but just quiet and calmness. the conclusion and morale, no matter how good you are and how much good you do the fate still screws you over. so there is no point to fight or be good, just give up and go with the flow. you get no reward. the words that she chose him, made me snort in disbelief, chose him? she chose to vanish the jewel despite everything, knowing that he will survive and chose to be selfless until the end. this is no love and no choice. 

despite everything, I loved the story. life is not perfect, Sesshoumaru is no Prince Charming, even though my vision of him is different, you created a very believable villain. I am not sure I can stomach another dark story, hoping your next one wouldn't be so dark and tragic? 

but other than that, really unique and very creative work! 

a deep bow toward your talent! thx for sharing!

good luck with your new projects!

Wow, what a terribly awesome story! I can't believe that I missed out on it for so long. 

I'm at a loss for words. This story is great! You pictured Kagome's pain and hopelessness so well, that I could really feel with her. And even though  it pains me to witness such a cruel Sesshoumaru, I couldn't stop reading. Your story is addicting!

You created a circle of misery for Kagome which could only be accomplsihed by keeping Sesshoumaru in that character, and you managed to do it so well throughout the whole story. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to write. 

As for the ending, of course we all love happy endings but not all story have to have one. I believe that you couldn't have come up with a more fitting ending for this story. 

This is the best dark fic I ever read. Hope to read many more storys like this from you.

Wow. Just wow  what a great story. A part of me wanted Kagome to kill Sesshomaru, but at the end she DID chose him  

I knew she would make the right choice. it's just who she is. so... sesshoumaru is afraid of her? is that it?

go home. where is that home? does she have one? it breaks my heart to see such drama and tragedy in her life... she is all alone but she still had the courage and fortitude to do the right thing and not be selfish until the end. bravo, my mind is blown away. 

thx for updating!

Such a mean cliff hanger! Please update, ASAP! I’m not kidding lol

Oh my! Why is it so short? It ended too fast I didn't even have time to enjoy it: such tension, such emotions... My heart was beating like crazy. I want to scream, kagome don't trust the jewel! I hope sesshoumaru just drops out dead. Wow never though I would say that! Since he is my most favourite fictional male character. Kagome suffered too much, she doesn't deserve this. Oh my, how am I supposed to sleep tonight not knowing what will happen next? A most cruel cliffhanger! I wonder what other stories you can write in this universe? Yashamaru? Maybe some other pov? Anyway curious. Very curious! Thx for updating. A deep bow, I was waiting for this, refreshing the page many times hoping it will appear.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend. Oh right saint Patrick's Day is soon yay! Good luck!
