Um, yes - the pick your favourite game - always tricky! I'm with you on Fire and Hemlock as first, and pretty much for the reasons you give. (And with you 100% on the ending - they didn't get that far to fall apart later.) Howl's Moving Castle - yes, it's up there, in part for being more layered than it appears to be, though I was never a Howl-swooner. But definitely in contention for top-rank is Deep Secret - only partially as it was responsible for getting to know steepholm as more than an agreeable presence on-list! It's probably my favourite romance in a lot of ways, and I love Rupert's unobvious romantic heroism. Christopher Chant as my first DWJ... Good thing nothing depends on ranking them consistently. :)
