This was such a whimsical and beautiful story about dolls coming to life at midnight in nutcracker fashion. I adored it, from the way the Master of the Manor cares so much for his dolls to the way they interact. Even if we see no cats or marionettes going against them I loved how Sesshomaru fell in love with Kagome and vice versa instantly.

Witchcraft!  I love the way you present your stories, I'm always left wanting to read more! This story definitely gave me toy story vibes, I'm sad this is only a one shot. The doll maker was a wonderful read too. Thank you

Wow!  That was absolutely delightful!  Such a charming little story, and so beautifully-written.  Bravo!  Definitely a new favorite!

This is soooooo sweet and I absolutely adore it!  Beautifully written as well!

just read this story  how wonderful  it's everyone's dream to have their favorite dolls come to life it  would have been nice to see I continued 

Just beautiful, you should totally make this into like a short story or long whatever fits your boat, that is if you want to, just a suggestion 

This was absolutely adorable now I want little dolls like in this story in a giant doll house

I loved this story.  It was very enchanting and magical.  You did a wonderful job in telling the story.

You ended it the way it should but I feel like there is more to tell.  If you decide to carry on then I'm for it but if you don't then that is fine too.

Excellent writing as usual and you have a very good imaginative mind.

Natalia is right about it feeling like it has a bit of the opera, The Nutcracker and Pinnochio.

Great job!!!

Really enjoyed this interesting  story!!!  I can't wait to read more!!!! 

SO CUTE. My heart melted. I enjoyed it immensely and I don't read too often. One shot or not, up to you. <3

So sweet 

As always your ideas amaze!

It was magical and I felt a vibe of pinocchio nutcracker and other fairy tales!
