Don't apologize; I liked the abrupt transitions. You're telling the story in a couple snapshots of time and it works.

Anyways, I loved it, as I always love reading your writing. The bittersweetness of their relationship...you don't make it out to be some fairytale ending, but it's definitely sweet in it's own way. And of course all the difficulties they face that you alluded to briefly.

The way you write always gets to me. Simple and easy to follow but never obvious or overdone. And how you never have to come right out and say it, but the emotion is always there. And your characterization is to die for. Really.

And I feel like this could practically be canon...maybe? Although with the way things are going right now...but one can still hope XD

Long story short, I loved it.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful, calm, humorous, dramatic, and somewhat bittersweet all the way through. this is so how i veiw how Naruto and Sasuke to be if they were to enter a relationship. The noemotion Sasuke andthe teasy Naruto. The boys aren't one to talk, but when they do the conversation you make them have is exactly hat i think they would be.
all in all so very IC and awesome i'm reading your other works too :D

I'm unsure how to feel about this story in light of what is currently happening in Naruto. Because as much as I want this to be true...the truth of what is playing out in canon makes this out to be a fairy tale dream.

Which bums me out.

Love the story.

I really loved this! It's just so pretty and! Sorry, not much except ! can really describe it. I love all the details. Every single one! They just made your story that much more fun to read! Especially since everything in your story kind of relied on the details... :) Thank you for writing this!

You say this is disjointed, and it is, but that's what's really good about it. A few moments told in sequence held together by a thread we can't see.
Except that we can sort of see it. And that's what I especially like about this story: all the things that are not in it, but that we can still understand.
Good work.

oh man this was incredible, aside from all the smutt, I mean, it's an incredible serious and intricate look at the development of a relationship, and there was never "said anything".

Very nice work.

I like the elusiveness of it, I can tell Sowell has corrupted you into stretching the NaruSasu elements LOL (BTW SUPER! to read sthing from you after so longtemps and get cracking too Sowell :))

You worked the disjointedness surprisingly well. Vignettes, snippets, episodes of their daily lives that is all the more poignant when viewed from below their balcony as Naruto is camouflaged by stone or both hidden by dark glass. Am not sure if the metaphor was deliberate but it certainly works.

For something rather elusive though, you sure nailed SASUNARU. Maybe am just a sook but the congrads, the belated return, the birthday - arrggh bleeping kleenex moments, sniff!

Thanks for this, yay!

If you had difficulty with this fic, I certainly couldn't tell. Very snapshot-y, which is usually a style I like in the first place if done well, and this is obviously done well. The title makes me think of a relationship on exponential growth; Sasuke and Naruto have started off nearly at ground zero, and slowly, they progressively reach infinite heights of unexplainability. It's really interesting that I'd like it so much since it all culminates into Naruto realizing how much he needs Sasuke. The concept has been done by others of course (even yourself), but the language is beautiful and the journey to that point is so wonderful.
