This is one of my favorite Naruto and Sasuke stories. You are an incredible writer! This is my first time reading your work and I can’t wait to see what else you’ve written!

I really loved this fic! The interaction between the two boys was so heartbreakingly sweet and sad at times and you made me feel so much. Thank you for writing and I hope you know how much I enjoyed this story :)

This story was an emotional rollercoaster, but I love the way you articulated the emotion in it, especially between Naruto and Sasuke. This was a good ending to the fic

this fic is the besttt! the building steps of their relationship is so beautiful that it took my breath away

I loved this story from start to finish, and it took two days to read. It inspired a lovely discussion with my husband about the different types of love. I adored it. You are such a gifted writer. Thank you.

Bon pour une fois je vais commenter en français. Marre de massacrer votre langue
J'ai vraiment adoré, encore une fois. C'était une belle histoire d'amour, faites de faux pas, de blessures, d'illusions, mais aussi de communication, de confiance, de passion. Merci beaucoup.
J'ai aimé ne pas être d'accord avec leur choix, j'ai aimé avoir peur pour eux, vibrer avec eux.
Tu es très bonne pour faire monter la tension érotique sans que jamais elle ne dégonfle ! Leurs désirs, leurs amour était palpable ! Moi qui n'apprécie pas qu il y ait trop de guimauve où que l'on se perde dans des méandres infini de pathos, sous ta plume c'est parfait.
Enfin, j'apprécie l'indépendance de tes personnages dans tes histoires. La fiction n'est pas à propos de toi... mais bien d'eux. Ca semble logique mais c est rarement le cas dans les fanfictions.
Ma seule critique est que Sasuke est parfois un peu OOC mais bon je crois que tu le sais et l'assume et que au fond pour cette histoire on s en fou un peu ;)
Bonne continuation à toi !

Oh my god for the first tim bit alarmed... they will continue without telling Karin ?
The poor poor poor girl !
And Sasuke is staying with her even if now he knows that he had never been "in love" with her ?
Aaaaah
But at least it s realistic. So many people do that. And stay because of fear...

For now I m really happy with the evolution of the plot.
I wish they could be polyamourous, or if not at least considered other solution... it s so sad to have to choose between two different kind of love when they're not at all in competition ! (But he... that s me talking)
BUT this is a monogamous point of view story, a really good one, and in that perspective I live how you make Sasuke so worried about Karin but still following with integrity what he feel. It s more like him. You discribed perfectly well sasuke s messy head.
And big thumbs up for itachi intervention. Cause yeh Sasuke was kinda never in love with her..
Anyway, bravo
I ll keep reading it ;)

Wow, just wow. I don't even know where to begin, this story is so amazing but I have to tell you that this is clearly one of the very best I've ever read and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna reread it as soon as the plot isn't as present in my mind.

It actually was the first "cheating-fanfic" for me and I'm not really a big fan of the thematic in general because I'm a total Naruto for that matter, but I still loved your story to pieces. I'm just a sucker for the whole "we're soulmates/where meant to be together/we have no say in this" part of they relationship. Yes, I have many pairings I love and ship to death (thanks for the little Itachi/Shisui btw \obut Naruto and Sasuke are and always will be my OTP because they're so unmistakably made for each other which you displayed perfectly!

And the way you portrayed them and their developing feelings for each other and their inner conflicts, hopes and fears, it all was just perfect too. Yes, there were times I was becoming seriously frustrated with Sasuke's idiocy but it was totally relatable and there's nothing about this story I wished was different.

Anyways... I've read the whole story in like a couple of days and was so hooked that I actually slacked off at work, lol, so please don't be mad I didn't leave a comment sooner. But I seriously didn't have the mind to say something constructive if all I could think about was the next chapter and we'll... it was right there xD

Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of art, it was an incredible read from start to finish! Oh! And I'm totally in love with your writing, so I'm gonna go check out the rest of your stuffsee you there!

Dude! I'm so happy I found this story!

It was beautiful, and I applaud your commitment to it. (A little over 4 years for this fic, wow)

I thought your portrayal of Sasuke and Naruto was super spot on. I have absolutely no complaints at all with the story; I enjoyed all of it. I found the story pretty realistic too (Ill touch more on that in a bit.)

I have to say this though. I don't comment often but I just had to for this fic.

You truly captured some heavy emotions in this. There were so many instances in which my heart was breaking for Naruto and Sasuke. One of the reasons I found this fic so touching is because you captured such a painful, and real situation. I say that this fic is realistic not just because the characters acted in a believable way, but because of your portrayal of what it took to fix everything. Sometimes, guilt and apolgies aren't enough (as Sasuke saw). Love isn't always enough. And no amount of remorse and guilt and promises can always fix everything.

THAT is what really hit me hard. THAT is what made this so damn realistic and beautiful.

I don't know if I'm making sense, but I related to this fic a lot. I truly felt for and sympathized with Sasuke who kept hurting the people he loved. I also empathized with Naruto because I'm the type to just jump in fully into something (Naruto coming out to all his friends and such while Sasuke did not) and giving 100% of your heart.

Thank you for writing this story. It has become one of my favorites. I look forward to reading your other stories!

I'm sorry for the super long review but I want to leave you with a quote your story reminded me of:

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing, and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness."
- Ann Landers

Please continue writing amazing works of art. This story has truly touched me. I hope to continue reading your stuff.

Love,

The hand holding bar scene was kinda cute tbh n the way that sasuke just keeps on going along with everything naruto does really fuels my sns feels! Thank god naruto is someone who initiates things bcoz if it were upto I M afraid he never wld let alone even realize the attraction. I M SO EXCITED!

I fell in love with this fic.

I love the fluffy flirting, I'm falling in love with this fic

I am so in love with the dynamic between the two of them! XD

I like the story but I can't seem to let go of the fact that Naruto kind of blames Sasuke for everything. It's not like Sasuke made Naruto fall for him on purpose and he didn't get married to make him suffer. Naruto is single and has no problems at all being openly in love, I wish he was just a little more understanding, not that I don't think Sasuke's wrong about not confronting Karin till now but he has a lot to think about, it's not so simple as a leap of faith
