I love this, from the contemplative tone to its brevity to the smooth characterization. Good job. )

Since there are so few, I'm intent on reading every ShinoTenten fic. I figured I should start with the first. :D

There's something so poetic about this. I see other people have used the word sweet to describe this, and while the beginning is, I think it's more raw and real and visceral. Either way, it was an engaging piece of writing. To think this couple has had proponents for so long!

very sweet, very cute :)

Simple, but well-written. and I loved Shino in this. :)

I think I loved the opening paragraph of this little story best. Although Shino's line about the uses of cockroaches made me laugh. The only problem I have with this is the final line...I'm not sure it really flows well with the rest of it. Maybe if you'd mentioned games a little earlier on, like in the first or second paragraph, it would wrap it around a little smoother. But either way, I still love the character interaction and portrayal. So kudos to you!

OMG! ANOTHER CRACK PAIRING! YAY! This was terrifically done! I may be new to the Naruto anime (T_T) but I know that they were all in-character! Which is hard to do with some characters when it comes to romance... *Cough*

It was short, but incredibly well done, and just... WOW! LOVE IT! That's basically all I can say ;

cute! beautifully written!

Wow. I love it! Awesome imagery and such. It's in my favorites, now.

A very cute story. I think my favorite part was with the cockroaches and the ex-boyfriend.

Great job!

a great story- love the last quote (ready or not..etc...) very mysterious and insightful.

YAY! TenShi! Or ShinoTen, whatever! It's very cute! (This is one of my favorite pairings and there are only 2 stories over it. Whenever I get the chance I'll write one). Love it!

nice one.. :D

this is most likely the most crack-o-riffic story i have ever read here.

crack-o-riffic pairing, that is.

wow.

nice alternative pairing... really good written!

This piece of fanfiction is startlingly intriguing. I've always been a fan of this unique pairing (and done a few fanarts of it) and I was happy to see a story about these two that portrayed the match in a realistic way.

That aside, the narrative style used for this goes so quickly, it's almost like notes for a story. It doesn't allow the reader the full time it would take to feel and associate with the character's situation. Some of the images though, especially the final lines that show a sort of awkward new relationship, still manage to make my heart stop for a moment. I really wish I could see each moment in detail, and hear the character's voices more clearly. It's got such beautiful flow to the events, and so much realistic, tangible thought behind the characters.

All I can say, is that this is a great piece of work. I only say I wish it could be taken into more detail because it's so wonderful that I want to see more of each moment described. It's a beautiful story!
