Comments: This is one of those rare ā complete ā fics with a quality action/adventure plot, solid characterization of the mains, minor characters and the villain OC, and well written romance. Aside from the romance aspect (which I found to be about as in-character as you can get for a slash fic about two characters who only have exchanged about two sentences in the manga) the antagonist is a real treat to read about; his road to hell is paved with every good intention. This is a great story and Iād recommend it to anyone.
Seconded. The plot and writing are excellent. My only tiny complaint is that the author is not too subtle about making sure we know those two are absolutely flailing over one another near the beginning, but compared to most fics, the characterization is very sound.
