I freaking love this story. I've read it a bunch of times over the years.

It's just fantastic. And you write all the characters so beautifully. Thank you!

Wow! I was sceptical to how this pair would manage to feel natural, but you managed to pull it off well! Thank you for writing this and sharing it with us!

I've stumbled upon this years ago, but i wasn't that much interested in it. But now that i've decided to read this, i'm hooked! I love the interaction between kakuzu and temari i wish there were more. I know this this fic is old, but i just want to drop a review.

This was. Holy shit. I just, I have no words?
My friend recommended this to me and, i'm so glad she did because this blew my mind.
I cannot compliment you more.
You're a wonderful writer.
God tier level.
Thank you for this.

This fic is such a delight. I know it's absolutely bizarre in the sense of, these two characters formulating a relationship when they never even met in canon etc. Like you know the basic stuff people will say regarding anything out of canon, but this is wonderful especially with how you wrote these two.
I love your Temari characterization because I think you have her nailed down, as for Kakuzu he's perfect. A true enigma, very jaded, just like you mentioned in one of the paragraphs.
Their intimacy and the way you wrote that growing attraction Temari had is so incredible. It just made it all the more intense, and I love it. I do.
It's wonderful how you played these two so well and made them come out so real.
It felt very much like canon. Deidara in this was also a pleasant surprise, and I liked how Kakuzu connected the two (temari's and deidara's) on their stances on life and art and how it dawned on him. I love that sort of realizations in fics. This is such a good. Honestly and truly.

So many things to say, so little patience to type it out.

Here we go!

I love,love,love LOVE this! Kakazu amused me so much with how he treated her XD I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot!

Temari still believing she could do it was so much like her character!

I started reading this out of interest for two things; 1)Because I'm partially in the crack ship boat going on XD

2) Because I wanted to see how you would do it. And let me tell you; I am convinced! I swear, if Kishimoto used this exact story line to bring Temari and Kakazu together, I would be satisfied. I realy would be XD

I love Deidara's litte moments and how he used the tongue on his hand; it really seems like something he would do XD And I've only recently started enjoying his character a lot, so this was fun.

I have to admit, my favourite part is definitely the steamy moments. DO NOT GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT A PERV! BUT THE SCENES WERE SO PASSIONATE THAT I JUST HAD TO LOVE IT!

No one here can judge me! I know that the only reason most of you are here is for the sex scenes! (Just kidding XD)

But I truly love it all! Steamy moments and everything!

This whole thing has me in love! Let's also add in the fact that I'm a sucker for the mysterious character that I know not a shit about, in some love thingy with someone a little less secretive X3

Anyway, enough yap-attacking from me XD

This is great. I really like how you portrayed this pairing and also the depth of Kakuzu's character development. Thanks for writing!

Never would've expected this pairing, but you totally made it work! Excellent fic! 0.0

You have an amazing talent for making your characters wants, desires, and personalities real. Temari and Kakuzu aside even Deidara was only a side note here and even his personally felt very well fleshed out. Thanks so much for all your hard work, i really love these unusual ships you create.

that...was beautiful...

Disjointed review incoming, reviewing as I read...

I first read this many, many years ago - back when you first published it I think - and it's stuck with me since... I was in the mood for something sexy/cracky and found it again. IT'S STILL SO GOOD.

I really don't know Kakuzu's character well (stopped following Naruto a while back) but hey, freaks do it for me, and you do freaks really well. I love the line about how he doesn't do favours, 'but for a price...'

I love your Temari. She's such a hardass.

The little scene where she's stepping on one of his threads is just so unexpectedly adorable in this largely serious fic. Loved that moment.

You describe momentary, unexpected infatuation and attraction beautifully.

In many ways, this fic is just the perfect length for what it is... but it still ended too soon. Sigh!

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS EXISTED BUT I LIKE IT

That was amazing

Love it. I didn't know what to expect when i started reading this story since the paring was really unexpected, but I honestly loved it. Keep writing I would love to read more of your stories.

Definitely one of my favorite stories; it's just so well written, and you really make this pairing work. I've read this about five times, and I still love it. Lots of respect from here :)
