A lovely and poignant way of expressing the truth of marriage! For some reason, we as young females tend to overly romanticize the notion that the passionate love that flares at the beginning of the relationship will stay at the same level as time passes - but it doesn't. It deteriorates and becomes something new. Nothing can stay in fire that long without becoming burned. If the love is true, what remains is different, duller, but deeper and more profound...and much, much harder to live with because it's hazy and indistinct. I really like the portrayal, and I have enjoyed your other pieces. I look forward to reading more!

| I really enjoy this take on marriage. It seems like it is more often than not portrayed as sunshine and roses or cheating spouses and trust issues. I really appreciate the new take.
| In a strange way, I find ur story beautiful. It's not fight, find love and live happily ever after, and thats what I like about it. It's different and real in a way. Thanks for this story. I look forward to the coming chapters.
| You've uploaded Chapter 4 twice... Or maybe it's just showing up twice on my end. The weird thing is that it's happened before with another story.
Anyways, this is a really refreshing take on this pairing. I thought the idea that not everything would be nice and peachy between these two characters was written very well, and I really like that what Kagome and Sesshoumaru had in this story is a work-in-progress that both are willing to go through despite all the hardships that would come their way. Great writing, as usual!
| you posted Winter twice. really interesting story....are we gonna see year2?

| Very sweet! It is fascinating to see how they deal with marriage while staying in character.
