wah

I think this is one of the best one-shots I've ever read. It really makes me step back and realize just how young Sasuke was, and counting the years makes me realize it even more. There is no mention of anyone else, so perhaps that also emphasizes the promise Sasuke has focused on. Six years can really go by that quickly...


All I can say is holy crap. and that it's beautiful. Thanks

I never gave much thought to Sasuke's life much after the massacre and when he lectured Sakura about solitude, like herself, I couldn't really find myself to comprehend just what true solitude was. This was wonderfully written and has truly gave me a rough idea on Sasuke's evolution and life behind the scenes, it indeed makes me truly pity him.

what would he do if his candle was the one that died first? (judging that according to canon his confidence never wavered after arriving to the Sound village).

Whew. Okay. o.o

Simple, beautiful, heartbreaking.

Good job :D

...

Brilliant.

The ending was perfect.

This is beautiful.
"He must light both candles at the same time; he can’t let either have an advantage over the other...He has to see which candle will sputter and die first."
I love that part, the last line in particular is beautiful. It shows how Sasuke still honors his brother as Uchiha but also is still in constant competition with him. I love this story. The writing is descriptive but not overly so and the idea itself is original. I love writing in time skips like this; it gives it depth. Great work! Sorry I don't have an account or I'd add you as a fav author. ^^;;

that was absolutely beautiful and so very haunting it was just . . . wow

It was really beautiful! Throughout the story there was always this darkness and sadness, but I think that exactly that represents Sasuke's thoughts about his family best. I love it!

beautifully done

Oh, wow. I don't know how you can manage to make a story so long about only one person, like, without dragging a bajillion other characters into it. Or at least one or two. Amazing job!

This was really, really good. I loved the continuing themes and how Sasuke got older and how he changed over the years. This was EXCELLENT! Nice work.

this is incredibly touching and moving and sad. It represents everything so well. Poor sasuke.
