Awwwwwwww.... GEEZ, this is really good! (And it made me all teary-eyed at the end; I'm such a sap sometimes!)
This is actually simply amazing, and I loved reading it. (And will again, I'm sure.)
Thank you for sharing with us!

:3 Yay, you like it. Thanks for reading ^^

Eeeee!!!! I'm so glad you finished it. And wow! Hugely epic when I was expecting a drabble. I really love the way you characterized Neji in this. I love his patience and his steadfastness. That's something Naruto has always needed. Very awesome, thank you so much!

[flyby311]

Haha! I'm just sorry it took so long to do. I never expected it'd be so... big. ^^ I'm glad you liked it though.

Damn, that was very good and kept me alive for my last hour of work (yeah, I read it at work because I could not stop).

I have to admit I really enjoyed how Neji struggled with his feelings for so many years and how funny it was for him to talk to the Hokage. I wanted to laugh more but I didn't want to give away too much at the office XD.

I liked how you characterized Naruto...he felt really IC through the whole thing and the way he reacted to Neji's feelings also.

I enjoyed your fic A LOT.

I didn't want it to be just... angst? Drama? so I tried to keep things relatively light. And I'm relieved that you thought that Naruto was IC ^^; It's hard to have people change *coughs*Neji*coughs* while trying to keep who they are... who they are, you know? ^^;; Thanks for commenting. :3

This was wonderful! I loved how slowly you took it, how we got to see Neji and Naruto grow up, and Neji's feelings mature but never really change. The bits of humor were great - I adored the scene where Naruto sent Gamakichi to tell Neji he didn't hate him - and the ending left me with a warm fuzzy feeling.

Thanks for sharing!

[flyby311]

Ahh, thanks. I was worried that maybe it was too long? Slow? Something like that. And yay for warm fuzzy feelings ^^ Thanks for reading.

[pysche924]

Oh, no worries, definitely. You're a great writer, and slow is good. Long is good. And warm fuzzy feelings are awesome. ^^

This is grand, and deftly told--I found myself unable to stop reading. ^^

What I found a bit distracting were the mixed tenses: I ended up re-reading a lot of sentences because of that.

But otherwise, thank you for sharing a fic like this.

[flyby311]

Gah! Mixed tenses! The bane of my writing and such. Ugh, I probably should have run it through someone first before posting... Thanks for telling me, I'll try to go over it soon and fix it.
