![]() ![]() ![]() If (when ;) Sasuke was ever to come out, I imagine it'd be somewhat like your story. Great job. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I would like this story if only for the last exchange. It's odd to read a story where Naruto takes the dominant role in the story, but with the characterizations it really works. Now I'm completely at a loss for which one I think really would be dominant in a relationship. On one hand Naruto is so loud and rarely ever stays embarrased for more than a second. On the other hand Sasuke has an inferiority complex and is extremely rough most of the time. On top of that Naruto is very naive and innocent which would point to him being submissive, but Sasuke cringes away from affection in uncertainty even more than Naruto does which makes it unlikely that he would initiate affection. Anyway, with your characterization with Sasuke as uncertain and a bit fearful and Naruto as being oblivious to any akwardness it works very well. I'm starting to think it would all depend on what the situation that initiated it would be. I think the touch of humor at the end was just perfect. Happy Writing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Well this is strange, I am 100% I read this fanfic before. I have no idea why I didn't review 0_o. I throughly enjoyed this fic. It took their relationship from something resembling a friendship to attraction to "I have feelings for you" in a one-shot! You did it fabulously by the way. Nothing felt rushed, it all seemed to flow and I'll be damned if I dont relate to these strange conversations that seem to be only half thought out, my buds usually decipher what I say and answer appropriately. I love the way you handled the yummyness of this fic, it wasn't all out smut, shmexy making out done well. Congratulations! A lot of writers use smut as a way of conveying Sasu and Naru's feelings but I think you've managed to do it an a much more subtle way, plus add some steamyness yum yum in there. I love how passionate they are when they start kissing, its so unexperienced, they're so awkward but thier feelings more than make for it. I love this! Damn if I don't love Sasuke in this fic, his vulnarability is so in character. He keeps his insecurities inside and tries not to question too deeply lest he discover something that he can't deal with. Naruto in this fic, heheheh I love it. He's not being a tease, or a perv, Naruto is being who he is. He's being frank and wearing his heart on his sleeve. He feels for Sasuke something he acknowledges as something beyond friendship. Their relationship is so CANON, I swear...I adore when Sasuke says' he loves Naruto, after the whole thing, it feels right, it feels real. A lot of other fan fics feel forced and awkward but this one wouldn't have felt right without it. It was perfect, good job. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I must admit this was several shades of awesome. I loved their dialogue and how you got into both of their heads, on top of which it was beautifully credible. I loved the way you made Naruto talk, blunt, slanged, bad grammar to the point and somewhat vulgar. And Sasuke of course is the complete opposite. The touch at the end with Kakashi I like a lot, Oh I loved Kakashi there x3 I really really did. He made me grin. I think what I liked about this the most about it was it's very natural flow. It was like reading at the beginning a conversation that you have with a very close friend what would mean nonsense to someone who didn't know you and make perfect sense to someone who did. You portrayed it beautifully. And I did admire the way you wrote the kiss, sensual and yet akward, sloppy and messy. Thank GOD! I thought, realism in fanfiction!, the clumsiness makes it more enjoyable to read and you used several descriptions which I thought just showed the strong and yet durable fabric of their relationship beautifully. |
![]() ![]() ![]() great story! the emotions and characters are portrayed really well! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I've read this story at least a dozen times, and I love it no less. Perfect characterisation, the entire situation could be canon. It's definitely one of my favourite Naruto fics ever. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very, very, very, very good! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, I loved that so much! It's never to late to reveiw... The emotions that you described all throguhout the story were excellent, I knew exactly how they felt and understood it perfectly. You have very good discriptive skills, and I like your style of writing a lot. It was interesting how one thing led to another..how Sasuke admitted that he liked him. I never would've pictured it like that..but then again, it is Naruto. You prtray there relationship very very well, and the beginning when it was less serious did leave me laughing at some points. Excellent, excellent job, the ending was so cute to...and I have to compliment you on the title. I beleive it goes well. Thank you for writing this, magnifcant job. . |
![]() ![]() ![]() This has to be one of the best one shots ever written for this pairing! No, in Naruto fanfiction! I love the characterization, the bickering, the way you set it up… like we were watching the whole thing word for word from start to finish. I also love how, even though it was so deep and detailed, you dont find yourself skipping over some of the longer paragraphs. Really, I dont think I gushed enough. I absolutely adore your uke Sasuke, even though most NaruSasu fics (though you called it SasuNaru... What a blatant lie...) irritate me, this was an exception. And once again, the characterization! Perfect! Everything felt so real and plausible; and throughout the whole thing, I forgot that I was reading a fanfic. Anyway, you did an amazing job. This really was a great read. Im so glad I found it! Im checking the 'FAV' button three thousand times... though it probably wouldnt make a different either way... |
![]() ![]() ![]() dude best fic ive ever read for this pairing AND A ONE SHOT sweet as. for real. i love you! lol x |
![]() ![]() I lurve this fic,a classic in my mind. |
![]() ![]() ![]() well done! the speech pattern you used for Naruto was unique, you don't see many authors use that and keep it flowing correctly. and Everything you had going on inside Sasuke's head was perfect. that's a damn good descriptive talent you have there. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This was a very very good story. I really enjoyed it. Your discriptions drew me in and kept me there. Excellent use of dialouge vs. inner thoughts as well. Thumbs up! |
![]() ![]() ![]() *laughs* thank you so much for the story. poor sakura. she will be shocked when they invite her to thier wedding...don't kill me. it's bound to happen! |
![]() ![]() That was absolutely wonderful. All the emotions were strongly represented in a realistic and relatable manner. This story had me from almost crying to exceedingly happy. The only part of this story that seemed off was Naruto's language. I'm not fussing about the language, just that I, personally, wouldn't have that he would be that... crude. Poor Sasuke had to deal with such an emotional roller coaster. Anyways, I think this is fantastic. Never stop writing. |
