"It's as much an obstacle to Sakura's heart as an overprotective father, a possessive boyfriend, perhaps more so because Sakura's self-doubt cripples her ability to connect with others. It's intangible and all-powerful. Invisible and consuming." was such a powerful passage in your story and it really resonated with me. Thank you for writing such a raw and real story!

I've read a couple of your stories already and I just want to say that your work is sometimes hard to read, but I mean that in the BEST way possible. When you write angst you do it so well, so real, that I physically feel it. I feel it wrench my heart. I sometimes feel it frustrate me as if I'm the one in the story. It makes finishing the sentences and paragraphs hard because I'm fully immersed in the characters' point of view while being aware of how it's affecting others and it wrecks me. Your writing is real and relatable, and I feel you putting your life experiences into it. I appreciate the fuck out of that because it elevates your characterization and makes it so natural to emphasize and sympathize with the story. You do such a fantastic job at narrating through the characters' perspective and it's such a treat to read! Please keep writing slow burns because despite all the struggles I personally feel through reading the tough parts, you make it worth it in the end with good conclusions that feel right and fulfilling.

and they say it's M rated

This was such an amazing story, one that I read years ago at the height of my SS shipping yrs and now I'm back to reread in a burst of nostalgia. Thanks for sharing this story with us, it was still as wonderful as the first time!

this book makes me cry. it’s so relatable, there’s so much feeling infused in your writing, and you way you write is absolutely amazing. i love this book. it has been with me through rough times. whenever i come back to read it again, it makes me reflect on the last time i’d read it, and it makes me happy to see progress. i don’t think i’ll ever stop reading this. thank you so much.

Such a greeeaaaaat story

Love describing babies as sausages

Love the ending with naruto the “dumb guy” knowing allllllllll along

Just love it

i’m crying out loud I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH thank you

It's been a hella cute intense story.
Really fucking enjoyed reading it. I hope there's news about the sequel(?)
Ik this fic is written over 8 years ago but ughhh I so wanna know what happened next.

Sasuke baka! She literally said it has nothing to do w both of you smh
But ah well I'm kinda looking forward to how he treats skr from now

When I read "She was raped" part, something in me snapped like Ik she's gone through such situations in prior but mannn I still cried. It's like I'm the one who's experiencing. Just wanted to say you've written a great fanfic :)

Heart-wrenching. So pure, relatable. Definitely stirs memories of my own experiences (before I got hitched to my own Sasuke, of course). You described the feeling of Sasuke driving off in that Jetta so completely, that I hate the situation, but I accept its inevitability. It’s not a “oh, you fool! Run back into her arms!” It’s more like ... I’m powerless, need to accept this, there is no other way. Like ... reality. Damn you. Bravo.

ahh our babies are so wrapped up in their angst they cant see they both love each other sm

this fic makes me so happy its really cathartic and a beacon of light for me tbh theyre so cute and broken but its hopeful and it gives me hope and the fact that youre in med school (at the time of this fic) and that youve found someone gives me hope too

this is the college catharsis i need like this whole time ive been here im like haahah im mega fucked in the head but no one sees it and its cathartic to read experiences like mine

So fking beautiful, what an amazing story. Stayed up till morning to read this and I have no regrets. Thank you!

Fuck, hon. You broke my heart. I know these words don't mean anything, but I'm Sorry. I'm sorry that we live in such a fucked-up world that vile things like rape exist. I'm angry, too, because no one ever seems to talk about shit like sexual harassment.
I remember the first time I noticed a guy staring at me. I was 14, he looked about 40. He looked at me, smiled this sinister smile, and looked behind me. A buddy of his, gave this guy a knowing look. I felt such genuine terror that day. I was volunteering at the library, alone, didn't know anyone. I was so scared that the second they found me alone, they'd kill me. Or maybe rape me.
Why the fuck should a fucking 8th-grader have to worry about shit like that? Why should ANYONE have to worry about that crap? Nothing happened that day, I told someone and they talked to the guy. And I felt guilty. Maybe I was an idiot. Maybe the dude just had a weird smile, and I was paranoid. I was the dumb, stupid, useless girl who was scared because someone smiled at her. I don't know.
Fuck it. Humanity, in general, is cruel and dark. There are some bright spots here and there, but what I've learned as I've grown up is that the good is always smothered by the bad.
I'm a survivor too, and yes, it gets better. But it shouldn't have to. Human beings should not need to be forced to pick up their pieces like that. Things like rape shouldn't fucking exist. I'm sick of this world.

I'm sorry for venting like this, but I needed this, so thank you.
