Essentially, Kurogane's stubborness is what rescues Fai from his dying world. Figure that... Lucky that there's not as much angst and tension this time around :P

Kurogane was kind of in a pinch, but not really... so because of that - 9 (?) Dunno, just a gut feeling.

2. Fair enough! I was going for a more literal interpretation on a couple of counts (he went from a bad situation to one arguably worse; he encountered a demon and then it's parent; he was literally dragged into the fire) but your scoring is perfectly reasonable and completely up to you! :D
3. Aww, thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed reading it, and thank you again for the lovely comment you left on AO3 :D
I hope you have fun reading the other olymfic!

Flawless. Kurogane was a stunning representation of his character, and his inner monologue may have extended my life by ten years.

Out of the FAI-ing pan, am I right?
... ok no ignore that bit. But YES, both metaphorically and literally, Kurogane gets tossed right into that fire. And it's GREAT. The theme comes around in the conclusion of the fic as well for good measure; he escapes a dying world only to, you know, accidentally be saddled with a new demonic husband and daughter. Which, as a professional exorcist, is just DELICIOUS.
3. 10!!!
I would vote higher than ten if at all possible. This fic made my entire week.

Re: VOTE
1. Fact: Kurogane's inner monologue was unspooling in my head in the most grumpiest, pissed off tone the whole time I was writing it, and it was gr9, 15/10, would recommend. HE'S SO GRUMPY BUT SO FUN. Use your extra years wisely, friend - like reading fic!
2. Well, he's certainly into the, ahem, FAI-re, as it were. If ya know what I mean. And Subaru definitely does, and would appreciate it not happening in his office. [eyebrow waggle] I had sooooo much fun with the continually throwing Kurogane into escalating situations, it was the greatest thing. And with great trial comes great reward - give him two weeks and he'll insist it was his idea to marry Fai and adopt Chii in the first place.
3. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH OH GOSH I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT THANK YOU FOR READING AND FOR YOUR LOVELY VOTE

Your fic really made me remember why I loved chii so much! I also loved seeing demon Fai, both terrifyingly powerful and super silly and sexy~

And of course, Kurogane was spot on. I like how you made him an exorcist without much magical powers, since canonically he can summon flames from his sword, yet isn't considered a magical being (for some reason????). It was a great way to keep him in canon, and also to make him work in your story.
Thank you so much for writing this! I really enjoyed it! Best of luck in the olympics!!!

I had so much fun writing the magic, like, I really got to let my adjectives run free and wild. I'm a total hedonist when it comes to writing about the senses, so I'm really happy my indulging in that got the 'feel' I was aiming for across!
Kurogane the exorcist is my new favourite. Like, he's got not a drop of magic in him but uses his sheer bloody determination to do impossible things? CORRECT. Ahaha, you have a good point - I always thought of the flaming sword/fire/wind attacks as like him using ki v.s. magic. I'm so happy you thought it worked here too!
Thank you so much for reading and for this lovely comment - I'm so happy you liked it :D

This story was amazing! I enjoyed it immensely! The characterization was great, the flow of the story was great, and if there's one thing I'd want from it, it would be even longer! It's been a long time since I've been that immersed in a story from a fandom so relatively old, and it felt so nostalgic to be reading such well thought-out, engaging TRC fic! Thank you for writing this story! ❤️
