Bio: Just here to read, review, and basically enjoy the goodness in life that is the InuYasha world through the fan stories posted here. Friendly, always positive, loves all that is beautiful in this world and life in general, and at times wordy are what I'd use to describe me. God, family, and friends are what I love. Music is what builds me up. Almost everything about anything excites me. And I enjoy all of my fandoms I adore in different ways depending on said fandom, but I like them all equally.

Vision of Love by InuGrrrl Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 119]

Summary:
What if, by chance, you happened to meet someone that you think could be perfect for you... and then you found out that perfect was far from what they were? Could you look past your own insecurities, or would you allow your fear to scare away what could possibly be the best thing in your life?

Title: Chapter 1: Vision of Love

Perfect song, perfect title, perfect, brilliant piece! Probably should read this again, but while listening to the fit's title track next time.

This one shot really talks about and teaches plenty. Aside from portraying Kagome, who is always the perfect angel of the stories, your tale here captured a lot of things. It deals with blindness, the definitions of perfections and imperfections, people’s expectations and perceptions regarding someone they have yet to meet, truly know and personally encounter, and second chances. And of course, the love that surpasses all of that. You never fail, dear IG! A kind/non evil, actually helpful, and a matchmaking, not-inuYasha’s girlfriend Kiks? I love! Finally, a fic for me… and an author that actually sees that there is no point in making Kikyou that vengeful gal she sort of used to be. Goodness knows I’ve read enough of those fics to last me a lifetime. And our favorite double-dudes doctor as her man? Even lovelier! And an accomplice Sango, too! Thank you, IG! Honestly.

Oh, wow… this fic is such a gem! InuYasha’s whole admonishment/lesson/questioning speech to Kagome just touched me. I’ve never really had to deal with people with the same attitude as Kagome in my life before, but this is a piece that asks a truly logical, real and wonderful question people like that should be asking themselves. I am excedingly thankful to you for writing this super relatable and really, kind of inspiring story. I adore Yasha a lot already, more than enough, I’d say, now I love this guy even more… I mean, come on, he has and uses a White Cane! Like me! Sorry. Hehehe! Seriously, thank you. Anyone, whatever condition or circumstance in life, can find love. Even if sometimes, we may come across individuals who have issues about fears, commitment, insecurities and other things, for their own reasons (Sango’s right in saying that this does not mean they’re terrible people), that does not erase the fact that there is still someone out there for everyone… or at least, you. There is still hope. Destiny may not always give us what we want, but it can, and most probably will give us what we need.

Sorry for that long-winded inspirational spiel. Uh, more like, ‘essay’, right? Haha! I just had to say that, for this fic really spoke to me in a whole new and completely different level.

Man, this review has turned into a book chapter... I should stop now, can't seem to write short comments anymore these days... Haha!

Author's Response:

Hello!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a lovely, thoughtful review. I wrote this story years ago, as in, it's literally amongst my first gaggle of oneshots, so to see that it actually has the staying power to still be entertaining in 2017 is just a miracle to me. Thank you very much for taking the time to remind me that my writing really has been a source of joy for some people. <3

Title: Chapter 1: The Curse

Um... wow... this... was super beautiful! And so, so sad! Poor Yasha! I wanna hug him... no, embrace him now! He definitely, desperately needs it! Some things just don't end happily, do they? I've always found that incredibly depressing and infinitely sad, the fact that his youkai blood is both a blessing and a curse. Thank goodness, then, that Kagome's love for him and his love for her prevailed in the manga/anime!

What a tragic, well-written, bittersweet, wonderful masterpiece, IG

Author's Response: TBH, hardly ANYONE got this one, lol. So it's always amazing to see a positive review for it because I think people just found the whole thing weird and hard to follow. Thanks for 'getting it', and more importantly, enjoying it! ^^

Title: Chapter 1: The Realization of Love

If this was your first attempt at fan fiction, then it's no wonder you've got award-winning ones now! Really, if you call this fic an 'attempt', then I'd be a happy enough gal if I could pull off one just as good. I'd be like, 'hey, look, I'm a great writer!' Haha! But seriously, this was super lovely. I'm glad you posted this here, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted to reread this wonderful piece of yours again. This one shot really shows just how much you've improved as a writer, especially for these beloved, super complicated, lovesick, sweet and awesome IY characters. I really enjoyed reading this sweet fic I've enjoyed, most of all, of course, all the InuKagness!

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Yep, this one takes waaaay back! It was my first fanfic. I really didn't know what I was doing at all. lol. I just knew that I loved the InuYasha characters and wanted to try it. I think I've attempted to clean the grammar in this one some years back, but everything else is the same, so it blows my mind that anyone still likes it all this time later. Wow. Thank you!

Now, if this just isn't the happiest, prettiest, most wonderful ending of 'em all! Right, Kagame! No use dwelling on how this paradise came to be now, and no time, too. You've an entire gang of hellion, cute children and extended family to feed! Haha!

Honestly, I do not understand how 'Cursed' and this fic managed to come off as 'confusing' to people. Both fics made complete sense, are perfectly coherent, and are absolutely beautiful and well-written, as your stories always are, really. :) Excellent job, awesome one shot! Rock on, IG!

Author's Response: Thank you very much!! I kinda thought the explanation was simple, too, but yeah.. lol. Some people really were confused by the punchline.

Oh, this piece of yours defines everything I love about InuYasha and its story, its characters, and the whole manga/anime in general. You've captured every single facet, every single moment, every single point in time... just, wow! This fanfic reminded me just why to me, in my heart of hearts, InuYasha is the greatest love story, the most magical, fantastical, most epic fairy tale ever told. And in manga/anime form, no less! One of the most colorful worlds in any form of art out there, right? Anyway, thank you so much for allowing me entrance to your humble kingdom of an abode here in the worldwide web, a beautiful world in which I shall now enjoy exploring everyday!

Awww! That ending, though! Oh my stars, I am melting! Short, sweet, and absolutely, perfectly wonderful! Amazing little fic, IG! Kagame really did give InuYasha more than just her love, didn't she? She gave him something to live for, and die for should that time or the need arise for such to happen. She made him see that his life, his existence, himself, are all worth cherishing, worth caring for, worth loving.

This one shot made my morning! I just can't stop reading now... LOL!

Awww, poor wolfyy, he just wanted those delicious goodies! Hahaha!

The gold at the end of the Lunar Rainbow. I like that. Anyway, because of that, I can't wait for Kagame's story now! I love Kouga, despite his cockiness, inability to take a hint (it's a no, wolf, she does not like you that way), and overall arrogance and denseness at times. He's still awesome to me, and I especially love the relationship he shares with Ayame. Kags is right, thank goodness he finally realized his love for her and has finally learned to appreciate her.

But all this to say, this chapter, like all the other ones, are amazing! Lovely and brilliant plots and twists here! Thanks for writing this, you dearies!

Oh, wow! brilliant idea! Almost, if not totally similar backstories makes this even more perfect. This whole thing's perfect, actually... can't believe I have one chapter to go and then it's over.
