I was going to write something similar to this but it looks like you've beaten me to it. I'm glad you did. You did an amazing job of conveying the heartache and aftereffects of what Sasuke's death will do to them, much better than I could have. Halfway through reading this my heart starting hurting so much I had to stop reading it for a few moment and before trying again.

Absolutely wonderful job on this, thank you so much for writing this one-shot.

I'm sobbing pitifully in my chair.its been a long time since someone's reduced me to tears with a fanfic.

Wow. That is all.

Except for this: "even now, she knows she’ll never forgive herself for the lie that feels like the truth." BEAUTIFUL

great fic...sad and well written.

Very sad. =(

Omf gosh. I remember reading this story, two or three days ago, and, well... It left me speechless. I faved it then, and now, I'm reviewing.

This just totally wrenched at my heart. I'm a fan of NaruSaku, and this just blew my mind. The characterizations were nearly perfect, and I loved how you entailed that Sakura loves Naruto, but just lets him think she hates him, because she sometimes does hate him.

But (because the little note about leaving concrit at the bottom of this window keeps nagging me), you could have made it flow a bit easier. I mean, not make it go orderly, because some of my favorite stories are really fractured, but, somehow, just make it at least foreshadow the next piece, maybe? Sorry. I'm a terrible reviewer, but I had to say that I heartheartheat this story.

...O.O

I remember reading this awhile back, I LOVE this fic so much. I cried the first time I read it and I might cry now. There is nothing I can say more, is it hurts because it so plausible that it might happen. Real in a very...strange way.

Kudos. Definitely faved.

This was so damn good. You've no idea how happy you've made me. Simply AWESOME. Not only well written, original, and INTERESTING, but it was just... reading this... I could see it happening. This was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Can I say that I love you without sounded stakerish? Or off my rocker?

Oh man. Naruto's characterization is simply amazing. I love the relationship between Naruto and Sakura, and how hollow they are.

This was an absolutely wonderful fic. I loved it.

...

damn. I cried.

Wow, that's three tissues worth of awesome writing... I really enjoyed it.

I have read this story three times. I don't know why, because in a way it's disjointed, yet flowing; and clear, yet confusing... I'm addicted, but I can't decide WHY I can't leave it alone. It's amazing - the imagery, the word choice, the tension, the strange back-and-forth time line. You are a genius.

Wow... absolutely beautiful.

They aren't enough words to describe how powerful and meaningful this was to me. It portrayed so tragically and realistically how Sasuke's death affected Naruto and Sakura's lives.

Great work.
