I've read and re-read this story so many times. I think you wrote it when they first mentioned their names in the manga? Anyway, this is just awesome. I really love your writing style for this one, how you can follow Minato's thoughts so clearly. I love how you characterized Minato and Kushina and even Kakashi and them! I especially loved Kushina in this even though we don't have her point of view, I can still imagine her so clearly. Thank you so much for writing this one shot and I'll be re-reading this again, I'm sure!

superb!~/

I am so sad and pained and this is so beautiful. Tha k you for writing minakushi so beautifully

So sad!

oh the things this little fic does to my heart :)

wow

This has so much feeling, left me thinking. Beautiful story

Beautiful beyond words.

Wow, this is really amazing. I love your characterization of Kushina. This is how she should have been in the manga and anime. Minato is perfection. It breaks my heart because we all know what happens after. Great story!

heart? what heart? what do you mean? of course i didn't need that.

Well, that was a nice backstory.

ah shit man

What a wonderful story that wraps up in a myriad of emotions regarding Minato's discovery of his love for Kushina. Each piece of the puzzle nicely sums up his life all they way up to it's epic end. Thanks for sharing.

Holy shit. My heart. Ow. This was beautiful, too beautiful to even describe.

Aw so fluffy! I wish I had more to supply but this was written almost 10 years ago so I think it should mean something just to drop a line and say I enjoyed reading it!
