We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on LiveJournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

Last chapter at last ;_; I spent a bit more time on this chapter trying to get the feelings right, it's relatively harder. I'll shut up and so onward with the ending, fluff and angst abound!

Gr, really. 128 disappointed me a little, despite the lovely fuu/kamui moment, which is still lovely, btw, but I really need some kurofai, badly. Luckily a few of my fav fics were updated (namely What You Wish For, I love you for writing it, alliterationhor! <3) and that kept me going xD and motivated me to translate another chapter x3

Oh wow, we're onto the second-to-last chapter already! Enjoy!

( the only thing he’s scared of right now, was to forget the feeling of being embraced by him. )

Coming across a Chinese kuroxfai fic writer on the net a few days ago that just completely threw me and I decided to come out to the light. (This is your cue to clap and cheer, come on!) And since I have some humble translating skills I’ve decided to start a project of translating a short seven-chapter work of this wonderful author to share with the lovely kurofai community. I’ve left her a message just yesterday, asking for permission.

*EDIT: I've just received a reply from Ayasei, permission granted! Please enjoy the story~

This might seem very poetic and crafted, but it’s the way she writes. It’s beautiful really, if you’re Chinese/can read Chinese, do visit her website and read the fics there. There’s only a degree of emotions that I could convey with English.
