• notes : absolutely no wlw and mlm solidarity in this ann and makoto are tired of shuake's bullshit (/j) ((or am i...)). okay but to be a bit more serious, one of the main things that i like about this fic is how it's formatted? i guess you could say. like the author switches back and forth between past-shuake and present-shuake so that we get a better understanding of what exactly transpired between them back then and how and why it led to where they are now. i don't wanna give too much more away so i'll just end this note with saying that akiren needs to trust his little sis futaba more. amen
