And suddenly the marriage request. HAHAHA. This is so gooood. I swear I would try to find another adjective, some fancier ones to try to convey how good this fic is but I’m doomed to fail because everytime something comes up I could only facepalm and question why this great fic is written for me. You are the greatest really. And you’re going to keep hearing this because I’m only on the first part and there’s still a long way to go!

And I totally losing it when they begin the discussion of who should marry who and what it would entail, and omg, Jun could marry any of them but he couldn’t because of official reason so hey there’s two of you who could get away with it and you don’t really get along with each other, so why don’t you get marry, Jun will officiate. THIS IS POSSIBLY THE BEST REASON AND I STAND BY IT!

And Jun might be a bit quick on trying to get his secretary and translator to just get married already. I LOVE YOUR JUN. I LOVE YOU. I truly love what the story offers and the many possibilities it gives at this early stage of story. If I didn’t know I’m in for a great ride before, I will by now. Plus, Jun, you are way too amused about this, I truly love it!

The annulment discussion and every line that goes with it is just GOLD!

Aiba and Ohno don’t disappoint because of course they are going to tease Nino about the marriage—I love how this ship is so ‘small’ that even at Jun’s word to certain people (which could be quickly identified from how the two of them approach Nino and Sho) and offer their congratulation. Aiba is just glorious in here. Yeah, go on with your empty threats, Nino, sure. AND OHNO BEING LITTLE SHIT OHNO, I love this!

The Zuran trip with all the complications. Again I want to declare my love for you to write this all so thoroughly, all the preparation, and everything. I love prep meeting and this is beautiful, because of the banters, how Nino and Sho is so new in their married life (hahaha) and Jun continues to be Jun. Just truly excellent!

And upping the stake with Nino as first translator. I love I can finally see how Jun is a difficult boss, because he definitely is, yet an understanding one. He knows his people, knows about Nino, and gives the challenge as way to support his growth.

Nervous Nino is not something I find often in fic but you wrote it beautifully here. Again, I love how you go with intricate details of his nervousness, his gestures, how Sho acts around him. The scene is so good, Sho’s offering his support in his own way, Aiba over the comm being the reliable pilot as time marker, and we can finally see Nino in action with his assignments! :D

I love how everything doesn’t settle easily with the assignments, and we get the glimpse of the job complexity. How Jun is so good at his job, doing it his own way. How Sho understands Jun and, in extension, Nino. How Nino is so baffled by all the development of his assignments. I’m at the edge of my seat during this sequence, like there’s a hint of something bad will happen, but they are together and Nino gradually realizes that this job is not just a simple one—and how Sho is, or should I say, could be on his side, knowing Nino even if Nino is not sure of himself.

I can also beginning to see how these three could work together, agreeing with Jun when he said that they do need a third brain. Nino brings such a fresh addition to the team, a new perspective mostly because of his past experience. I love how you slowly bring us to this and it truly made sense at one way. I had a wide smile all over my face at Jun’s pleased and smug comment.

Oh. Flashback. Which is not pretty. But here we are with more glimpse of Nino’s past.

And Sho’s simple understanding over Nino’s blackout is very sweet. I know it is not delivered in syrupy gestures or some kind of mother-hen attitude, but his action, letting Nino having a moment to right himself without fussing over it, really speaks volumes. I do feel that Sho is portrayed as cold and calculated in some way during the beginning but you have managed, skillfully, to show that he is none of that.
