I tend to like a lot of different pairings, and I don't read much Ikkaku x Yumichika, but this essay highlighted some moments that I'd forgotten about! It was nice to see them and read your comments. I'm one of those people who don't need to read fic for a pairing if it seems canon enough. XP I'd never say no to them as a side-pairing though.

Though I have to agree completely with shayheyred and ravens_rising. I felt a little offended when you started 'tearing down', so to speak, other pairings. I do get that it was to compare them to to show that IkkaYumi was more canon, but you do have to be aware that there are die hard fans out there of some of those pairings that you could be isolating with those comments.

Sorry to ramble, just my opinion.
