Reviews for A Shadow of What Was

    Hi, I just wanted to say I love this story. I had read it several months ago and then yesterday read through it again. It's pretty epic to read through in one sitting but I'm a pretty fast reader. That being said, I wanted to point out one tiny discrepancy. It's not major and you'll probably think me a bitch for pointing it out but I love when my readers point out plot holes for me in my longer fiction.

    Anyway, take this as you will. In chapter 15, Ichigo and his father are talking and he says that he and Kisuke loved each other though they never said it.

    He flushed a little, but nodded. At least he thought Kisuke had loved him. It felt like love, not that he had much to compare it to. But watching Renji and Uryuu and Toushirou and Karin he thought what he and Kisuke had was love. "I think so. We...We never said it," he admitted, tears stinging his eyes at the admission. The words Kisuke had most deserved to hear and he had held them back. "We felt it though. We loved each other."

    Then in chapter 59 after a flashback sex scene, they verbal confess I love yous to each other.

    “I love you,” he whispered with a soft kiss to the side of the blonde’s neck.

    “And I love you. No matter what happens, Ichigo, I love you. I always have and I always will,” promised Kisuke. He glanced up, brown eyes locking with mercurial gray eyes and smiled at his lover.

    I'll understand if you ignore this, the story is exceptional even with small plot holes here and there. I only pointed this one out because it sat up and slapped me across the face XD I hope to see you continue it and I know I will enjoy it as it draws to the end. PS. God do you know how much I love the Shunsui/Ukitake/Grimmjow. It's become a favorite crack pairing of mine. I practically read Shadow just for that.

    Day~

    I'm really enjoying reading this. There went the last day of my life... UraIchi is one of my three favorite bleach pairings (the others being ByaIchi & HichIchi) so that is fun. ByaUlqi is fun to watch. I look forward to updates :)

    I just love you story. I love the relationships. Especially Ishida/Renji. But all of they except Ryuken and Rukia personally I think both of them are selfish idiots even in the canon. I am so looking foward to your next update. Please update soon. I will be checking daily you have me hooked. Wonderful story

    I'm so happy you updated. I'm glad Uryuu appreciate Renji's love and chose him over - well, over everything. I like them together. I imagine how devastated Renji could be if Kira went to Uryuu to speak... Ah, poor guy, I hope he will find some love and goal in his life and be happy. He is a good guy with the worst decisions... Ah, the chapter ws so melancholic, but I see the light - as well as Uryuu. *sighs*Yes, his father betrayed him on so many ways, but he has Renji and he loves him so much...
    If I meet your muse, I will catch her, bind her and send her to you in that instant, and make sure she arrives safely. *smiles*
    Thank you for the chapter.

    Ok, i just finished ch. 50 and thought that i really should review this delightful story. i would have in the past....but i kept getting distracted by the 'Next Chapter' button. it was a tad to tempting.
    First of all, i love how you wrote Grimmjow. he is one of my favorite characters and this new take on him was very refreshing. i especially the love the mama cat analogy Shunsui used a few chapters back.
    Second of all, i can't wait to hear more about Ryuuken and Rukia. those two will be interesting.
    third, i must ask....WHERE'S CHAD?????? i might have missed news of him in the earlier chapters in my haste to read them....but i don't think i've heard of him so far. he's too cool. it would suck if he drifted away like Orihime.
    Fourth....your description of an earlier Urahara was quite...I'm not sure if delectable or despicable fit more. he's scary. but awesome.
    As for Gin...now i sympathize with him. i am really hoping for a happy ending for him. Hisagi too. i also hope Mayuri rots. never, ever liked him. hope his daughter gets a happy ending though.
    Will Hanatarou be getting a gf/bf anytime soon? and what about tessai? they need lovin' too.
    ok, i should probably stop....and maybe finish reading to ch. 89 before ask anymore questions.....because i am full of them.
    so keep posting these chapters!!! they're hilarious....and the smut scenes can be quite....hot.
    ;)

    omg this story is FANTASTIC!!! I started reading it about a week ago thinking I would read maybe 2 or 3 chapters every few days but after like 2 days I could barely stop. its SO GOOD! I am an avid fan of the Uryuu/Renji pairing and I am so glad you gave them so much story time *hugs your muse*.

    I never really put much thought into ulquiorra/Byakuya but I have to say good job on that pairing, they definitely would be hot together. I cant wait for the next update!

    I love this story. I've never read anything like it and I can't wait for more. Your writing style drew me in and wouldn't let me go. You paint vivid pictures before me and I love it.

    Would you please send me an email at astrakage@yahoo.com when you update? I want to read the rest as soon as it is up.

    Hello dear katami-san
    I can't even begin to describe how glad I am that you're writing again :)
    I truly love your writing style and the depth of your characters (and the smut, of course ;))
    So I just wanted to say, thank you and keep up the good work!

    P.S. I linked your story to a friend of mine, and she got soooo hooked :D Hehe :D

    I have to say, you write a really addictive story. I was sitting here at 8:30 thinking "I'll get to chapter ten and go to bed." At this point in time it is 3:45 and I have read up to chapter eighty-nine.
