If you had told him a year and a half ago if he would ever see himself working two jobs—busting his ass at a 9-5 as a pharmaceutical scientist—only to come to his second job where his manager was none other than his boyfriends kid sister?
Well Fai probably would have looked at you like you were possessed before running off to meet one of his swanky ex-clients.
His life has always been a bit of a complicated hot mess though—so what could he do?
The things you do for love, right?

3. How well did this fic fit their team’s theme? 6 if this was from Kuroganes POV on the ship, etc or if the coffee shop was by the sea or Fai had some fascination with the ocean, etc it would have helped. I think it gets little lost a little with the trying to stay true to the prompt.

Interesting take on the theme. I realize that Kurogane being in the navy was the theme but I really felt like it wasn't a central part of the story.

Good job! I really reeeeaaalllyyy liked the focus on Kurogane and Fai being best friends, and the amount of times Fai thought of Kurogane as his "only friend." It's kind of sad for Fai lol but most stories go straight to them being in love, so I always love it when there's a focus on their friendship as well. I guess my biggest note would be that, other than Kurogane being in the navy, it didn't have much to do with the sea. If I didn't know the prompts, I don't think I would have been able to guess that this was a coffee shop/sea AU.

I liked the high level of detail there was, and now close Fai and Kurogane were before they had even met

Wow, when I saw that it was a coffee shop AU, this was not what I was expecting! But boy did I enjoy it!! That was such a lovely read! Wonderful world building, so many details. I think you did a great job with the characterization and dialog! You also managed to keep it fairly light and humorous for some really heavy topics. Overall fantastic and so fun to read!Now I have the song Brandy stuck in my head!

Oh beans. I really loved this fic! I wanted to read more of it. I did think the sea and coffee felt sort of tangential to the core of the fic, but it was so enjoyable and you did so well with your core concepts!!
I hope you leave a note here if you ever revisit or keep running with this AU--it's really enchanting.

Enjoyed it! Love the emphasized bountries. I did forget that it was coffee shop/sea themed since i was so invested in their relationship up and downs and flirts.
