OMG this story is so Good! I really love the character development! Your take on Ino-Shika-Cho is different then anything I've read before, and I really love it! I would really love to read more of this story. I really want to see their dynamic grow. I'd really love to see more of the trio together. I started reading this story a long time ago, but I got interrupted and never got to the end. I never forgot about it though. This story was so interesting that even years later I could still remember the name(I've been reading fanfiction for 12 years and I can only do that with like 2 other stories). These 3 together are actually my OT3 and the first story I ever read about them was this one. Last night I looked for and found this story cuz I was really in the mood to read it. I just finished the chapters you have up and was wondering is there any chance you will ever update this again.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this, and for introducing me to the concept of my favorite trio as a trio ;)

I just wanted to say that your writing is absolutely stunning, especially the way you have captured everybody's character so well! This is one of my favourite fics and I've re-read it loads of times now. I do hope you update soon, though no pressure. Have a nice day!

This is Totally awesome

this is amazing...! love this soooooo much!

I'm glad you've returned to this. And I really enjoyed Chouji's realization in this chapter, especially that he found it within a projection of himself.

This chapter definitely gave off the sense of being a notable point in the story - I suppose what gave that off is the fact that it primarily focuses around Chouji, his motivations, and a desire to change things for himself. And the last time a chapter like that came up is when he started using the chain to begin with.

I'm hoping to see more in the development of their relationship, but regardless, I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

OMG, this chapter left me pretty speechless. Your character development of Chouji and how he's figuring things out (with help) is as deep as the sea that Chouji was overlooking in this chapter. I eagerly await another brilliant chapter, thanks :).

How romantic, I love yaoi, ShikaxCho

Bit of a late review but I just wanted to say kudos to you for keeping up with this story. This is by far I e of the best I have read and I had almost given up on seeing more of it. It is a joy to read and I look forward to future chapters. Really, I'm at a difficult point in my life and reading helps stay sane.

Congratulations on the baby girl!

I was rather excited when I received an email stating there was an update to this story. I had been waiting for quite a while to find out what would happen next.

You haven't disappointed - this chapter progressed the story along nicely and I think you did a good job continuing the development among the trio. As always, I'm eager for the next chapter!

Hey, I'm glad you updated, this has been one of my favorite stories and I'm glad your back.

first of all congratulations on your child

despite the deep musings and self realizations of things one would rather not admit to themselves this chapter had a noticeably lighter feel to it. still bitter and sorrowful but its lifted a little

Wow. This is amazing! (Congrats on becoming a mom by the way!)
It'll be interesting to see how this'll develop further and even though I'm a freakin lazy reviewer - know that I'm here. And I'm reading. And I'm enjoying.
Hope you'll find time to write and update another chapter soon!

See ya

Oh my goodness! Congratulations! I hope you gave your daughter a nice name. Who's the father? Actually, sorry, bad question, don't answer that. Will she have a dad? Or, I suppose, father figure? Sorry, I'm just excited that there's a new life in the world! Also, wonderful chapter. I love how you characterize Shikamaru! (Though I'm biased because he's one of my favorite characters.) Please keep writing!

I really like this story! Love your characterizations, and I adore their bond! Please update if it is possible. :)
