WHOA SMUT. HERE COMES INCOHERENCE! alskdjasldk. First let me say that it is really really worth the wait. I really love this happens when they are at a certain stage of understanding. Sho knows that Nino wants it. Nino knows that Sho wants it, and they’ve been waiting this for so long. True feels all over, I’m all asldkjasldkja.

Making out with Nino’s being naked and Sho’s still in ugly sweatpants!!! All the hard and hot kisses! Whoa. Nino, you’re impatient! Sho, you’re demanding!!!! I’m a mess on the floor because this is intensely hot!!!!!!!! The begging!! Hair tugs!!!!!!!!! The confession!!!!!!

AND OH SNAP. SHO JUST UPS THE TENSION WAY TO THE ROOF! Pinning Nino down!!! Sho’s hand muffling Nino. Restrained hand above head!!!!!!! OMG THIS IS SO HOT *FAN FACE! Coming untouched!!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS IS A FAVE. I didn’t remember putting this on my kink list. BLESS YOU, ANON, BLESS YOUU!

And then all that again until shore leave ends. Approved! Plus, I love the simple meal in bed scene because it should be norm!

Can I also high five with you, Jun? Because the honeymoon was a true A++ gift!


Ah, the complexity of Nino taking the permanent job offer. This is so real, I love this. Sure his relationship with Sho has grown so much, but I love that you keep Nino as himself, with his consideration. And Sho being supportive is the sweetest. There’s so much vulnerability involves in the talk in bed, and I can’t help to smile to see they got this far. This relationship seems real with its all challenges, and Sakumiya is being themselves <3!

One last hurdle, but oh boy oh boy this was the ultimate one. Totally didn’t see this coming—although as I tracked back you did put some very subtle hints (the look on Sho’s face during the talk before and his fast understanding)—what a twist!

Nino’s struggle is so painful yet I can’t help to compare this to the first part of the story. Nino was so lost in the first time, so unsure, and now he returns to that state but it is much more painful. In a way, I love the respect that Jun gave him, giving him options and space, because Nino needs to handle this on his own before he tries to handle other people in his life. This made me reading his separation from Sho with equal pain, but it is necessary in a way. It is harsh, abrupt, but it is necessary.

He goes back to Earth! Sibling talk! And all the missing pieces from Nino’s childhood. Ah, you took the time to flesh this out to the bone, and I love you for it. It would be so easy to come up with short scenes to show all this, but you took the hard way by adding more scenes and I just, so much awe!

At the end, Nino just needs time and space to take care of himself.
The year burns. A very long narrative time but nothing seems rushed at all and it made all the small progress even more meaningful. I totally find that the time Nino took to make peace with himself, with his past is heartbreaking yet so important. He had endured so much and the necessary separation seems to bring more pain but it was, once again, necessary.

I think you managed to keep the last scene vague until last minute and delivered a great impact. Because:

“Nino,” Sho breathes, like he can’t believe it.
Same, Sho. Same!
