Afterword

Thank-you so very much for reading! (& those likes too!) 

Well I got most of what I wanted to out there; I do hope some of you who read this are at least a little satisfied or amused.

I like to think the story developed a bit like 'having a proper good time' [intimacy]: as after a little tease, you start to get into it, put a little effort in, have a few more little brushes, then it builds, gets hotter and heavier, pulses a bit - have some sped up times and slower times too, before feeling pleased about it. {However there was no real 'big climaxes' - here...}

My dream that kicked this off was most closely to Kei's part; being at school and having to be dressed as a guy - and dealing with other guy friends, and the problems of the other girls too, while doing your best to keep safe and secret, before finding out about someone else who had to do the opposite. 

Putting it primarily in Subaru's perspective though allowed for some other ideas to more readily happen - just a bit of fun. {Do we think Subaru has really bad or good luck?}

Subaru's timid, concern, unease and general shyness sort of suit (/more alike to) me more so, while trying to do your best in a dicey situation, but not put on any act and completely change yourself - I'd like to think I could manage that. 

I guess I put certain parts of me in all the different characters I made.

The Ecchiness... I guess I was a bit horny - and this story gave me a excuse to put a few different thoughts and scenarios into it.

The developing feelings, dating and such, added some tension and romance - I guess I'm missing that in my life so... yeah.

Having the Yakuza connection let it 'close that loop' of the story part, and I don't really know where that came from, but it worked out, so I'm pleased with it.

I hope my writing style didn't make it too difficult to read, but I can't really help or change that, I'm sort of stuck in my way on that particular front.

Apologies for the disjointed releases in the later part too - I've had to deal with extreme heat, power failures, family dramas (& long distance gatherings), wild bushfires - that lead to possible danger and evacuation from my home! [The perils of living in Australia I guess...]

I'd really like feedback; so I could tune things up, or make it less complicated... maybe. Or even if you found something that didn't make sense or work at all, it'll all help me improve.

I honestly would like to know in regards to the Ecchi stuff too: 

Was it acceptable? 

Suitable - or did I go too far? 

Was it too risqué for the nsfw to be left off?

Also: is there appetite for some stronger nsfw? 

Would you like that? 

Should I do a follow on - with a bit of extra naughty stuff? 

[But then there's the question of how far I can go - or write about here too.]

Anyway, I do hope you liked the read, at least a little bit, I had plenty of fun making it and creating all the different characters for this storyline. 

Since I'm probably going to write some more in the future, I'd welcome you to watch out for my work. 

Thanks again for reading!
