Girl, wow. This story is so amazing! I love your fics and thank you so much for writing them, despite your frustration for this site. You’re honestly one of my favorite authors and I’ll forever reread your work. Thank you again for all these wonderful stories! I hope you’re doing well. Xoxo

I really love this story! The setting is innovative-not just a high school AU, but specifically one of a ballerina (who became a dancer) and a musician (who became a tattoo artist). I absolutely love the contradictions and irony in throughout this fic. In one of the earlier chapters, you said that there is beauty in flaws. As a perfectionist, like the old Sakura, I can't understand what you mean. But in my opinion, I believe that beauty exists in contradictions. This fic is all about growth and development which are portrayed through paradoxes. This fic is, to me, not only two parallel but different life stories, but also a work of art. Speaking of life stories, I can relate to Sakura's career/hobby crisis a little-I guess it's because of my experience in performing arts and my current career/hobby-life crisis. And I can tell that you're inserting a part of yourself/your experience in this fic because of how realistic the life problems seem. I really love it! This is a 6 years late review, but like Sakura, I feel that I should still tell you that this fic is truly heartening and motivational to me. :)

Best writer in history

I love all your stories, but this one really resonates with me. I absolutely love Sakura’s inner turmoil and how you characterized both Sasuke and Sakura. I’ll always come back to this one. Always.

Still love this story. Thank you for writing it! Hope you are well!

Honestly this should be a real book, it was a beautiful story , I love how you write. Thanks for the journey!

Ugh so cute

Looooooove the anime parallels but also hate them because I hate when Sasuke leaves

Honestly I don’t usually like au stories but have been more open and this is amazing so far. I tested up a little at her tiny breakdown it feels pretty raw

I'm reading this fic again. This time it's a little different, because of a certain incident, our government shut down internet for five days so I downloaded some fics to read in that time. in the end, I ended up reading this fic again I keep coming back to this fic. and since I didn't have internet, I kind of could focus more, and unlike other times when I generally play the fic and listen to it, I was actually reading it. damn it hits so hard! it's like every word, every sentence you write hits me hard. I FEEL it, I feel Sasuke's and Sakura's feelings, I feel this story. you're not writing for the sake of writing, you're merely using writing as your way of expressing. you mean what you write, you have felt them, that's why it's so real. the way you write about their insecurities, I think that's a big part of what makes this story so special. because people have insecurities and they play a huge role in who they are. and you just portrayed that BEAUTIFULLY in this fic. their flaws, their vulnerabilities, it's so real. so raw. it just transcends everything. this whole story has a very melancholic tone and it's painful. but at the same time it's BEAUTIFUL. it's like a sad song that makes your heart twist in pain and yet you have it on repeat because it's so beautiful, so real. my obsession with this fic has become a topic for fun in my friends' circle in the fandom. I'm literally OBSESSED with this fic. I love it so much no-one has any idea because I can't exactly put it in words. I wish this fic was an actual story so that I could buy it and hold it, actually hold it in my hands. I relate so much, which is kind of funny because their circumstances and everything is way to different. and yet, the way they feel, all their inner struggles and everything, it just fits so perfectly it's almost scary. I really can't thank you enough for this fic, I love this fic so so so much. I'm at chapter 7 only but I wanted to write this review since I have internet now.

this fic is a piece of art.

PERFECT

I’m years late - and probably wrote this for the nth time- but there were times I stared into space and actually “think”, this is a piece of work- the number of reviews could attest to that-but I want to sincerely thank you, not for you but for myself. I haven’t realized til now that one could also be selfless by being selfish. Thank you and I hope could write more for yourself too

it has been years since i finished reading this story and needless to say, it still captures my heart. made me cry then, still makes me cry now. a hauntingly beautiful story written in perfect synchrony with their respective personalities. being older from the last time i read it makes the love in this even more profound. thank you!

I just finished reading this story. It was great. I have to say I'm glad you didn't go with the Sakura gets pregnant route. I was sorta expecting that with all the smut and how Sasuke would eventually have a reason to come back. Not that there's anything wrong with the pregnancy route, its just we always see it so it was nice seeing something different for a change

Sakura is not that good looking in cannon. This is fannon shit for self-inserting women so they can write harem stories, like Naruto si fanboys like to write him as some alpha in fanfics.
Only Sasuke is cannonically a very good looking, overachieving person objectified by everyone around him(including Sakura whose thrist for his dick is beyond human reason) but he us not a "relatable" chara as in people can't relate to his issues( how many ppl have survived genocide, betrayal, mindrape, pedo hickeys, etc?) so his traits are ignored.
