This fic sort of let me speechless. I loved the way in which the machine aspect of the fic was integrated with the characters, the weapons, the enemies and the environment, and yet it also felt very organic. I loved how the question of humanity and machinery didn't only affect Fai in the grand scheme of things, but it also touched smaller elements of the fic like Ginryuu and Mokona. Reading about Fai and Yuui's lives and fates was absolutely gut-wrenching, but I'm guessing that was the intent so good job on making me feel miserable :') the ending truly made up for it though, it was really beautiful and this fic was just incredible from start to finish. Great work!

Thank you! I wasn't initially intending it to be so angsty and gut wrenching but ideas kept happening, I can't help it XD

What can I say about this amazing world and story you wrote? I loved every aspect of the world you built and the tragedy of little Fai and Yuui's lives almost made me cry. You always write such amazing AU pieces. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with this fandom over the years.

Thank you! I was a bit worried I would be rusty since I haven't written for these two in a while but it was fun getting to go back to them again, and Tsubasa is still my favorite fandom to write expansive AUs for :D

The story was beautiful. I really have no complaints at all. I loved the world you created and all of the symbolism was amazing. You did a great job capturing the "souls" of the characters. The whole thing was so unique. Thank you so much for writing it!

Great characterization, I enjoyed the back and forth between the two. Good, solid prompt and theme handled and explored though out the fic.
I did enjoyed this fic- very solid world, very strong pacing and purpose. With the looming spring hanging over everyones head, it really gave the narrative that drive forward-that sense of urgency that really carried the fic along. I also enjoyed how you handled war and how a soldier can reflect on themselves and their motivations, A+.
And even though I loved the interactions between the main two I wished there was more sparks between them- something more that implies something more between them (if that makes sense lol)
For a lot of fics in this competition I can totally see follow ups that would elaborate the blooming romance between Kurogane and Fai but in this fics case I can't because this fic is kinda just perfect the way it is and it had such a strong ending- but who knows (lol) you are such a talented writer that you could pull it off.

I don't know why my first comment isn't showing or if I am not seeing it, but I loved it!!! The way you integrated the original aspects of TRC with your story were perfect!
