... sad. i actually teared!

the only thing i can't really believe is how you made the pairing actually -work-. i guess when you're insane, pretty much anything goes, though.

um, rightfully, orosasu shouldn't bring tears to my eyes. but damn did i like it. :)

damn, this was amazing. this is by far my favorite orosasu fic. i loved how sasuke-kun just succumbed to his madness and turned it into something else...some sort of twisted happy ending for himself. he mentions that he forgot why he came orochimaru-sama but yet he's satisfied with still being with orochimaru-sama. it's like the two are drawn together in their insanity. i loved how you wrote each character: orochimaru-sama wasn't some evil bastard, sasuke-kun wasn't some damsel...they were both themselves: complicated characters who managed to find some sort of mental balance together. excellent fic, i loved it.

ARGH, so hot!! Correct me if I am wrong, but I am sort of assuming you have a bit of a crush on Orochimaru? lol As glorious as Sasuke is, it seems lots of raunchy badguy-shipping fangirls love Orochimaru T_T I am a Rock Lee lover, myself...so...lol but hey, I love this. I absolutely adore your writing and style. This is actually quite believable, and Orochimaru sleeping with Sasuke is just immeasurably hot...*trembles* Awesome job. Keep writing! I'm a loyal fan!! ^_^

Memorable points:
Tragic. Sasuke’s characterization. Very shocking circumstances, and well-pulled off.
Needs Brush up on:
Nothing, really. Maybe a sequel. ^_^ Well, if I were going to say one thing, it'd be about the title. I know you got your inspiration from this (very good) poem, but it doesn't really fit the story. But that's a small detail.
Lasting Impression:
Profound imagery, great take on a complex character. Fascinating idea. (Would love more!)

Love the mention of the surrounding scenery. The little changes in the room, the snow outside, the mist, the cold underground...this story is full of lovely details.

Insanity...really isn't that far from losing oneself. Like how Sasuke no longer really remembers even how long he's been there...or when he got there. Or what he came there for. Everything's just slipping away from him.

I love how Sasuke seems so lost, and just brokenly accepting things as they come. And how he’s become so utterly dependent on Orochimaru. Lovely painting of a lost and broken boy.

And Orochimaru's there, and we see his personality in glimpses. Like how he sleeps with Sasuke, takes him outside, takes his hand and is so intimately close to Sasuke... Orochimaru puts "His arms around me at night. . .[and brushes] His lips on my forehead.' Orochimaru is very intimate with Sasuke.

I really enjoyed this short story! I’m so curious about how Sasuke’s life would continue...if everything would just crumble around him, or if he’d find the strength to move away from Orochimaru. And if anyone in Konoha would care that Sasuke’s being used as a whore and has lost his mind. And if anyone would want to help him get better...but then, I’m rather obsessed with making things better. ~_~

Anyways, great job.

Oh. My. God. The world needs more OroSasu like this! ...okay, more OroSasu in general. Thank you so much for writing this! Good job at getting nominated for the Sasuke fanfic contest...that's how I found this gem. THere were only two OroSasu fics!

Please, oh please, write more like this. ~_~ You're awesome! Amazing story.
