OMFG I loved this story SO much! GaaNaru where they switch up; this is a first for me! One of my fave pairings! And I f-ing LOVE the way you write Kakashi-sensei! You freaking rock! Please write more fanfic! This one is one of my favorite fanfics EVER!

Wow....just....wow, that was wonderful. It was beautifully written I cried throughout the entire last few chapters....and giggled incessantly throughout. Good Job and UBER KUDOS!! By the way all the links to the fanart are broken. I'd really like to see some of them, so if you know where they are could you post them on the LJ community or something PLEEEEEASSE!! *puppy dog eyes* And on that note I bow to your great fanfic writer-ey-ness, and humbly beg for the aforementioned spin off stories, and/or continuations.

this story was amazing! i don't review often, but when i finished reading this story, i felt like i was obligated to. you did a great job developing the relationship, presenting, and resolving problems. all of the side stories were perfectly woven in. all of the side romances were carefully thought out. i really appreciated this story. good job, i can't wait to see more from you.

I have such love for your fic! I just finished reading what you've done here and it's so great. I was already a fan of Gaara and Naruto but I think you've hooked me on Kankuro and Sakura too ^^! I shall eagerly await the promised lemon XD. Anyway, I just adore this fic so now I'm off to read some more of your stuff. ^__^

kay before I read your other stuffs: I glanced over a couple of your other more recent reviews here an they made me wanna say I really love the way you've given each person different ways of dealing with love and emotions. It makes it feel more real to see that where one person might be able to handle loss another is not. Anyway, great job.

hmm, love how you ended the wedding wiht them knowing they'll love beyond death and all that. i think it's awful that you had to leave sasuke out in the cold though. it would have been very simple for you to make them all happy without unrequited love...but that is how you chose it.
all in all, this story was quite unrealistic (thankfully), cuz as bad as people actually are, they're not actually this promiscuous about love in real life (not many people i think, to this great extent at least...i hope). but the story was a good read ( i have to admit i had to skim over a lot of parts to enjoy it though). i'm glad you did end up with a happy ending at least, more or less. but perhaps you just like emotionally unstable stories (hope this isn't a reflection of your own life or anything) :)
anyway, happy writing.

~scoffs~ saying that you can love someone after your lover's death is sad. saying that the love is 'different' and 'unique' but 'no less strong' are just excuses. love is love. you really think that romantic love is that unique that you feel a different one for every person? some love (when it's true) is meant to be shared with only one person; that's loyalty. sure there are plenty of people who move onto others, and luckily some that don't, but still...
(sorry, this rant isn't directly focused at you, but to some of your other reviewers and people in general, definately)
you're a quite decent write though, even if your subject matter contradicts itself sometimes.
i mean you have so many people moving on from others; what if naruto or gaara died in the future? would it be the same if you had one of them find another love? (even if you said it didn't mean that they stopped loving each other...the love just 'faded' and 'changed' and it's okay to 'love again'...i doubt it, or else you wouldn't have put the love beyond death thing in the wedding vows...and it's more personal to us cuz the story focused on their relationship...well it would be a million times more personal in a real life situation (which is what everyone tries to relate to in a story)...
just saying is all...i know it's just a story and stuff, but i'm trying to get some opinions straight, is all.

hmm....not a bad story. everyone's rather promiscuous, but that's fine. i don't like sakura though, in general and in this fic. one of the boys should give her a good knock in the head, just once, honestly. it would do her good.

aw, i wish you hadn't added the naruto/sasuke complication. i'm actually a naru/sasu fan and believe they make a lot more sense, but i love gaara as a character adn the friendship he has with naruto. but you're obviously mixing up pairings all over the place, and that's fine since you specified, but i wish you'd kept it less uncomplicated that way, i hate sasuke with a broken heart and missed opportunity.

hmm...well, like i may have mentioned, i dislike stories with multiple pairings (of the same character), adn people moving on to others after their true lover has passed or died or whatever..cuz loyalty beyond death is something precious...and all that said....i can't help but like your story. :)
well, parts of it atleast. ironically i can't really stand the sakura/kankuro pairing even if theirs is the only one without backround angst. but i do like sasuke/kakashi and gaara/naruto on their own. and i suppose your style of writing has something to do with it as well. :)
