Oof! I loved this one too! So much gorgeous subtlety *squeals*

I read the tenth chapter of Honey, a thirty kisses challenge by Coco-Minu which she says is inspired by this at the start. Amazingness, comes form amazingness, I see.

I like this story. It shows the brother-sister relationship well. Great job!

Very sweet sand sibling bonding, I really liked it. Temari insights always drag me in, but this one was just wonderful.

so sweet... i love it, its... the only word i can find right now is: captivating.

I adore this story so, so much. Not only did you go deep into Temari's character, beyond the stone-faced ** some people portray her as, but you've also expressed her in a way that I can absolutely relate to.

The part that brought me to tears is about the masks, how she wears them to survive, and how she hates and is afraid of her inner self. It really reminds me of what I've read, and how I feel: how playing pretend comes so easily, you're afraid of not pretending. Temari's characterization was flawless and breathtaking.

I love how it ends on a happier note, that Kankuro loves her sister as who she is, and accepts all of the "masks" she carries along with her.

Aw, that was so cute. :) I love these kind of fanfics...the ones that show sibling love. ^^

Great work!

Ja ne, Kiko [I'm going to read 'Like this' later, cause my mom's in the room now. I'll make sure to review!]

Wow - this is really, really amazing! Great job, and I love the moments between the siblings, and the italicized parts are very, very good!

That was really beautiful, and I thought it captured Temari and Kankuro's relationship really nicely. Temari always wearing a mask and trying to act like Temari of the Sand instead of Temari sounded really in character to me. Anyway, really great fic.

Beautiful and emotive

This was a beautiful story. Pretty in such a way that the words were just so smooth that it was absolutely relaxing. Maybe I'm a bit weird to think that stories have a texture, but your story really did, it's like at any minute the words could float right off of my computer screen. Your description was flawless, something I find very refreshing after searching and search for some Sand Sib fluff and coming up with nothing but bad-fic.

I found them completely in character and it was so easy to believe that Temari would act thing way around her siblings, around Kankuro.

The way you added in useless pieces of information, like where they got the chair in the reading room, and how Kankuro loses his place on the page made this fic seem a little more homey and so much more personal.

The last line was wonderful because it was smooth just like the rest of the story and let me with a goofy little smile on my face.

Goodness knows how long I could gush about this story, but I'm dead tired and really should be sleeping.

Thanks so much for writing this and sharing it with us.

that... was... so... awesome... Meep...

aw...lol!
nice story.
