Others have already sung the praises that I would otherwise. A very creative pairing and such a cute and natural way to bring them closer to each other. I loved their characterization a lot. I loved how much the story was tied back to events from the canon works. Very well done. I could really tell this was a story with a lot of passion behind it.
This may be coming from a place of ignorance; my knowledge of fiction writing techniques is not great. However, one thing that stood out to me personally as kind of awkward was the ending, when they're looking at the sunrise. The characters explicitly explain what the sunrise symbolizes in the story. Now, I think you could make the argument that Kutaka is characterized in such a way that she might actually think and talk about things in this way, but to me it still came across as awkward. It felt like it got in the way of the ending. I think I would've rather had the chance to infer what the sunrise meant to the characters myself.
That's just one thing, though. I still thought it was great. You all did amazing work.
