Apart from the excellent captivating writing and the right dosages of drama and realistic romance, the idea is just brilliant: The author took the Shichinintai, a group of homicidal mercenaries, and turn them into teens with serious mental problems. That way, the reader won't have to sympathize with a bunch of human monsters, but still the characters are kept in connection with the original ones. The most impressive of all is Jakotsu, who is one of the more - if not the most - IC Jakotsu I've ever seen. Sadly, the fanfic is dead, but it's so good and the last chapter ends with a non-suspensive way, so unless you are seriously allergic to unfinished fics, don't let it bother you.
