Oh...My…God....! This is the best Naruto fic I have EVER read. It’s the best written, the most developed and interesting plot, and...it’s Slash...with cross-dressing! What more can one ask for in life? I am going to chew up every pen top I own waiting for the next chapter of this story. lol Lord...please update this soon.

Love it. Brilliant.

Amazing. Just...amazing.

I actually cried...in the scene where Sasu/ki is in the bathroom, telling Naruto about Orochimaru...and that he used to call him...Itachi in bed sometimes. Just so...so... heartwrenchingly tragic. I think i forgot to breathe.

I will have you know that I skipped all of my classes today to continually check this fic for updates. XD It's THAT good. (Of course, if my grades suffer and I lose my scholarship, I fully intend to blame you.) I also have to say that it was very, very much worth it. I truly adored this chapter. It was just so... PERFECT that I can't really even think of anything to compliment specifically. The overall mood was so right, and even though it's all so sad, at the same time it's so hopeful, especially this chapter. The quotes you add to the beginning and end really help with that feeling, too. This story truly is amazing; probably one of my favorite SasuNaru fics I've ever read, and that says quite a lot considering the fact that I've been reading them for two or three years now.

And as such, while I am generally annoyed by those pushy reviewers who try to force a writer into providing them with the ending they want, I must say that if this ends badly I WILL COMMIT RITUAL SUICIDE.

...Okay, not really. But I'll be sad 'liek woah.' And I know you've got this all written out already, anyway. I think I'm just going to hope for a semi-happy ending, with crazy ol' Sasuke getting to live and staying with Naruto, Saki or not. If I can't have that, then I'm going to hope they at least die together, because with the mood that this story has set, the thought of Naruto living on without Sasuke is just... devastating. Of course, he had hope for a moment in this chapter, thinking that even if Sasuke died, he still had people around him who would make life worth living, but... still. Considering his overall mood throughout the fic, the way his happiness just very much depends on Sasuke's presence, I can't see him ever REALLY living with Sasuke gone.

One last thing, and I'll leave you alone. Shikamaru is my asbolute favorite character. I adore him. And you are one of the few fanfiction writers who gets him right. Dead on. I like to think that his personality is more complicated than most people give him credit for, so being able to not only write him well, but excellently, is definitely an accomplishment.

And that is my long, annoying, rambling review. Hey, don't complain. You deserve it.

...That's a compliment, I swear.

basically. I started crying.


This is not just smut, it's perfect, it sounds like love. Like... real. It sounds real. It is laced with emotion and it pried tears from me. I haven't cried in months, it feels good.

please ... update soon

First, I have to tell you that I remembered the story "Lace and Strawberries" instantly, the moment you mentioned it. That's not something I can honestly say about a whole lot of others. That one's burnt into my brain, as Naruto and Sasuke make up my favorite couple (shounen-ai or otherwise) of all anime, and hold a place in my top five all-time favorite fictitious couples, seriously, ever. Sooo... a great and painfully true to character interpretation of these boys is what I endlessly crave. If "Wuthering Heights" were an anime... maybe you see where I'm going with this? So I'll stop raving now, lol.

Next, I must say, the premise of "Lace and Strawberries" was (to me) one of the hottest (because it is one of the truest) depictions of how a sexual chemistry might (have to?) go between Naruto and Sasuke. Therefore, in my giddy-dark little brain, a psychologically indepth elaboration on that story was all but begged for.

Thank you for answering that call.

You've done it, and how. I am on the edge of my seat. Absolutely no exaggeration, nupe, none.

You have fed my craving in a way that would cause a lesser woman to follow you everywhere you go, strew rose-petals on the floor before your feet as you walk, and ultimately propose marriage to you even as she was hauled off by the feds.

Don't stop?

I LOVE IT WHEN EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION! AHAHAH! (pardon the outburst)

And ummm... like, wow. You... are a writer.

damn. that's the only thing i can even think of to describe this story in any kind of words. you've done an amazing job with this story, the characters are beautifully tragic and your story is hauntingly beautiful and powerful in it's tale. i can not wait for the next chapter and hope you do update soon.

i have nothing else to say about this story. except to tell you that i feel my heart ache just a little bit every time naruto and saki are together. great job. very great job.

Excuse me for taking suicide as there are, at the moment, no more chapters to read
twisted love stories of angst... with Sak... I mean... Sasuke (old Saki fan)
._.
it was gorgeous, and it aches not to be able to read the whole thing at once >.<

Wow. Just wow. Keep up the most brilliant work, coolsa.

I really loved the lastest chapter. You haved me hooked on this story like a crack-whore...its good that I don't do drugs, but do read smut...especially such well written stuff.
