I think that line would be more correctly rendered as follows, "But I am glad that someone in my family shared his values at least, even if I did not."

Very true for both of them. My, such loyalty.

Quite lovely! ^^

[laurelsblue]

Thanks for correcting me.

Absolutely.

Thanks.

[twitchytwitch]

Never a problem. ^^

^_^

Welcome!

[laurelsblue]

Yeah, that was intended to make it ambiguous as to when exactly it takes place.

Thanks.

I love Itachi + Mikoto moments! Love what she says to him when she hugs him too :D

[laurelsblue]

Me too.
Thanks.

It seems like I completely failed at conveying the subtext here though because no one's really commented on it. At least it works without it though, I guess.

Nice!

[laurelsblue]

Thanks!

I love the irony just dripping off that last piece of dialogue--beautiful. And it's always nice to see different takes on Itachi and Mikoto's relationship--their interaction is probably my favorite out of everything, so I'm always ecstatic when people write for them!

...Not to sound like an utter creeper or anything, but I really want to stalk your fic. Would it be all right if I friended this journal? :3

[laurelsblue]

Is that deliberate foreshadowing? No. It is not.

I think this is probably post-massacre but Itachi doesn't fully realise it until her last line.

Ah, stalker! Help!
I will readily accept fic-stalkage and will return the favour.
