It's been over 10 years-some 11, 12 years to be exact since I first read this deeply affecting piece of work. You set a near impossible standard of what I expected of fan fiction thenceforth. Yes, my hormonal teenage self came for the lemons, but I was engrossed more by the beauty of your prose and the depth you gave your characters. Years later, I still remember your story as an entirely immersive experience. Thank you. I hope you continue to hone your considerable talent

I dont know if you read these but I'm crying I expected this to be really weepy but I've been dying laughing iruka is kinda a jerk its so funny

LOVE IT! LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT I ALMOST CRIED AT THE LAST LETTER! SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFF!

it took sometime to remember that "Tenzo" is "Yamato" XD oops

I hope he isn't a total dudgebag because I like the character xD (even though I never imagined him with Kakashi, it is Iruka o no one!)

Do you have an account in "Archives of our own" aka "Ao3" or a DeviantArt? To have a back up of your stories! I don't want to loose it! D:

Whyyyyy!? why the s.e.x scene was edited!? I was actually looking forward in reading it!

I felt like something was missing without that scene

Where I can read the full version?

I love this story! It was a huge inspiration for my own 'Pretty Woman' story except with Fem!Iruka.

I got so teary when naruto asked iruka what his dream was. his reply made me cry. thank you soooooo very much for writing this! yessss! it's complete!

Really brilliant! Going on to read the sequel now :) thanks for writing. I find it difficult to find well written naruto fan fiction but this had me hooked!

wow that was different. but informative

its actually perfect because thats life right

wow emotional roller coaster time. lol but so very well done. it made me remember times where shit happened to me too. powerful fic

Ok well Kakashi was a bit childish. I guess he gets that way too. I was a bit surprised though. Maybe he's still drunk?

so funny how they argue. im so glad that the story went this way lol

haha i love this twist. I like how strong Tsubaki is
.

Iruka's going to get tricked again by Mizuki! Oh nooooo
