Wow!! I have just spent the past three days reading this story almost non-stop and have barely slept! Not that I mind at all, it was worth every second!!!
I want to say all sorts of clever things about how much I love this fic, but I don't even know where to start! Firstly, I guess I love the character progression you've done with Sasuke. It's so gradual and in keeping with Sasuke's character that it works perfectly. I love at first how Sasuke thinks he's lost Naruto to Orochimaru and then he sort of has the realisation that he cares about his dobe. It works really well and makes it not too much of a jump from Sasuke leaving the village and all that to working with Naruto. And I love how Sasuke gets all jealous and everything. Jealous!Sasuke is maybe my favourite thing ever!!
All of your characters are perfectly IC and I love how you've managed to include everyone as well. It reads just like canon and if things go scarily wrong with the manga then I am just going to ignore it and take this story as the facts! I especially love how you've written Sai. I don't care all that much about him in the manga but in your story he makes me laugh so much! And I'm kind of hoping for a bit of SaiHina in the sequel!! Also, I normally don't particularly like OCs, but I love all of yours, especially Hiroki. I love how Sasuke is able to show his softer side with the boy and I can't wait to see how they go about living as a family. The part where Hiroki first said about Naruto driving the nightmares away was really awesome, one of my favourite parts.
I also really love how you so slowly progressed the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke, how it took so long for them to get the trust back and for their physical relationship to develop, and then for the two boys to be so close that they really couldn't live without each other. I think you did it perfectly. And your smexy bits are the smexiest things to ever smex!! I actually punched the air when Sasuke was telling Itachi about how it is love that makes you stronger and not hate, that is EXACTLY what Sasuke needs to get through his thick head!!!
There are a bizillion more things that I want to say but I can't find the proper words and this is turning into the longest and gushiest review ever, so I will just say that this fic is awesome and you are clearly awesome and I think I'm a little bit in love with you!!! And now I have to go and read all your other stories!

I'm still on the part where Orichimaru took over Naruto's body. This is really good. It's amazing how many chapter you've written so far.
Thank You

Sooo, I started this YESTERDAY, and now... I'm at chapter 30, ready to start chapter 31. I'm sorry I didn't review any of the other chapters but I couldn't stop reading. And my reviews would've been pretty much the same old, same old: "keep up the good work! can't wait to read on!".
You're an amazing storyteller. In my opinion, The Sound of Dreams (up to where I've read) has great timing and keeps a well kept, steady pace. Naruto and Sasuke, for the most part, are IC...although, whose to say what is IC and what isn't when it comes to intimate scenes between the two. I mean, it's not canon for them to sex each other up relentlessly (although I really do wish it was!). Ah, and the build up to the lemon was well done! It didn't just happen in chapter two with a bam, there were obstacles, emotions and all that jazz.
Okay, so basically through all this incomprehensible babble, what I am trying to say is...you've done an awesome job and have thoroughly satisfied my desire for a juicy, well-written Naruto/Sasuke piece of fiction. Actually, that's not true, I won't be completely satisfied until I finish this monster. My god I still have plenty of chapters to go...
I'm sorry this review was so lengthy. Thank you for writing! I've really enjoyed everything I've read so far.
And as soon as I can safely spare a good chunk of free time to avoid school and catch up on this fic, I will. Oh I will.

as long as i know there is a sequel i think i can let you live. j/k This is so good and what a anime worthy ending so inconclusive. I have a few months but i think your other random stories might be able to hold me over for the time it take to get to 08. I take your work that a wonderful Sound of Dreams worthy sequal is in the near future. Please tell me that sauske has a kid somewhere and thus no fake moms are needed?

I think I died with the owari. Beautiful last chapter though I am still DYING for more. So I'll be waiting anxiously for the sequel and in the meantime, hungrily read whatever else you decide to write. NEVER STOP! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

Hello,
I really just wanted to thank you for an amazing story and amazing insight into Naruto that broadened my thoughts on many subjects. Also I think I need to state that this is tied for the top of my favorite story....though this is the only one of the three to not have been an AU. Spiral Falling By: BeccaAmon and There's No Such Thing As Heroes By: Rasengan22 are the other two and as well written as they were I think this might just have them beaten by a little cause of the ninja action that was so well written into this story....I like the way it turned out and all though I really am going to be in anxiety until you start the next part in their story. I especially loved the way you had The Fox kill Orochimaru...I cant wait to see the abilities that the Mangekyou will possess. So once again. Thank you Thank you Thank You!!!!!! for this wonderful piece of fiction that makes me love Naruto so much....an also as a last I would never have Known about the Fuuma Clan if not for you and if you have been reading the Manga as of now it means something....you have entertained me as well as taught me.
Thank you
