I really, really, really liked the perspective here. I don't think I've ever read a fic from her parent's perspective, and it was really, really fun to do so. For some reason I always envisioned her with a single mom, but in retrospect, that's not the case. Anyways, great choice there and a fun fic! :)

Absolutely beautiful. I love how it's in Sakura's father's point of view - it makes it very refreshing, especially how he's a civilian, and doesn't know anything about shinobi. And I absolutely /adore/ the SasuSaku interaction - it's so delicate, but seems just right.

This takes my breath away. Thank you so much.

ahh i love it!! this is such a fresh take on sasusaku! who would've thought it would be so interesting to read their story from papa-haruno's pov? P:
keep up the fabulous job! :D

omg i love it! omg you write so well! omg it makes me feel all warm and tingly on the inside XD

ASDFGHJKL. BEST. YES. AMAZING. YES. AWESOME. DUH.

OMG. I loved this.

You captured Sakura perfectly, and Sasuke, too. Keep up the good work!

(Sorry for the lack of CC. I know, I suck. *frowns*)

I loved it :3

random phrases i uttered while/after reading this...
omgomgomg!
lurved it!
tamaki! lol

Aw told from the overprotective father's POV.
I love it :3

You made me like Sasuka/Sasuke. What?

But really, this story did just rock. I loved the dad's voice and...dadishness. I like how totally clueless they are about Uchiha and "Fucking Shinobi." and the breaking of pots. Sasuke and Sakura as adults were both IC but also very funny and realistic.

i really like how you write!
Sasuke's charcter is so freaking hard to grasp but heck you more than grasp it.

awesome man! =]

wbat perfection, really. the originality in this piece is stunning. :)

p.s ... sakura's dad is hilarious. :P

omg. this was so beatuiful I love the change of perspective, seeing how Sakura sees it and yeah. beautybeautybeauty. omg. I think I'd want more but it's so perfect as is. wah. It's just so freaking lovely and --

“Legalities of the estate,” says Sasuke.

“True love,” says Sakura.

They stare at each other, and then Sakura says flintily, with an edge of steel, “True love.”

“That,” agrees Sasuke.

When they stare at each other. wow. it's something I've been trying to capture for a while, and you just did it in seconds. it's so great (it also reminds me of 500 days of Summer which I love). so freaking kuddos for you and all my love to this story.

thanks!

I liked this. I have to say, this is certainly a unique fanfic.

I loved the fact that you decided to tell Sakura and Sasuke's story from Sakura's father's perspective. It's definitely a first for me--across several fandoms--and it gives it a sense of nostalgia on top of a different sort of freedom in terms of writing style and details. As far as I remember, the most I've read about in terms of Sakura's parents would be her mother's involvement; never her father.

I loved the little interspersed bits of humour ("fucking shinobi", "I eat like a barbarian") that made me laugh out loud from the utter randomness of it all. I rather liked the fact that you managed to elude to the canon plotline subtly while dampening it from a civilian's perspective. Through it all, though, I found myself feeling somewhat indignant and sympathetic for Sakura's dad; it definitely gives the entire shinobi thing a new spin. It's something I definitely appreciate from a reader's point of view, both in terms of the nostalgia, the depth and the entertainment.

Some parts were a touch convoluted and bordering on messy. I understand that it's simply your writing style, but the constant run offs on tangents barely refrained from confusing me. It's an intersting style, but easy for grammatical errors to sneak past as well. So, just watch out for those and try not to run too far off tangent. Other than that, it was definitely an interesting read. Keep writing and good luck with future fics.

so nice! i love the sakura-papa! though the whole amputating with shuriken bit made me a lil squeamish
