This was SO beautiful.
Just perfect.

Innocent Gaara just breaks my heart, repairs it, and breaks it again everytime.

And Naruto being innocent in his own way too! So cute!
Telling Gaara not to say a word to anyone, that he doesn't swing that way, or that only a boy with a girl can have smex.
(I would gladly introduce him to yaoi). XDD

Awesome fic. I loved it. I love you. And I really hope you write that sequel. I'll be keeping an eye on all your future projects.

Much love and writing power to you. <3

Thank you very much for the kind words. ♥ I do hope to write much more for this fandom. This fic was just an experiment to get my feet wet in the fandom so to speak, hah! Glad you liked!

Hah, funny thing, that. The focus on sensation everyone keeps commenting on is actually mostly because I didn't think Gaara would have a lot of introspection (because I view him as more of an observer), so I focused more on objective experiences ... but then some introspection ended up slipping in anyway! O_o

Ahhhh, yep, I'm a terrible tease. This whole fic is kind of a tease, isn't it? NaruGaa is one of the rare pairings that I like so much that I enjoy the gen interaction between them just as much as the more pairing-oriented stuff, though, so I am likely to get caught up in things like them walking around talking.

Of course, I like the physical contact a lot as well, and the whole fic really sprang out of the idea "have them make out in the rain"--that was my mental "prompt", as it were [which just goes to show that I write my stories around the stupidest mental prompts XD

[pervert_bitch]

Ah... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Yes
Naruto x Gaara is one of my favourite pairings, and Gaara being my favourite character :P
I loved your interpretation of Gaara's boys and how Naruto despite being introspective is all very much a 13-year-old boy... whom is also sooooo in denial :P
Man, I am already waiting for the sequel, even though I know it would be some times until it is posted :D

[hieronymousb]

Hey, don't I recognize you from my last fandom? :P Fancy that! It's a small world after all.

Yeah, I've started brainstorming for it, but since I'd really like to write something with a bit of plot, it needs to solidify somewhat. Haha, Naruto is totally in denial. Like they say, "methinks thou doth protest too much". :D

[pervert_bitch]

Yes, from FMA :P
In fact, I've been in Naruto for just three months I think, also after finally caving to some of my f-list who were all raving about Naruto. And now, it's kind of become my main fandom. Almost but not quite :P
Sadly, RL is being a bitch and I cannot send to find the time to do all the fanart I want to do about it :P
Anyway, I think it's high time I friended you so there *friends*

[hieronymousb]

Sounds good to me. Friended you back.

Yeah, I know how that goes. RL keeps me busy, too. I've been swamped with reading and papers, such that I barely squeezed out sufficient energy to finish up this lil one-shot. Of course, classes do wrap up in a few days and I have some time off ... but then, sigh, at the end of August, more classes start! :p At least this fic broke my months-long writer's block, though, which I take for a good sign.

Weird, you got into Naruto at about the same time I did. And Gaara! Totally my favourite character, too. I just love that skinny little redhead.

This is a more lyrical voice for gaara than I usually see. It still has the lost quality to it, but it's definitely less psychotic. I liked the way all the meanings are layered for him, and he's aware of it, even when he doesn't seem to know all the layers. A good first time story!

[hieronymousb]

Yeah, I kinda originally intended to interweave more of his psychosis in (or at least, his struggles with it), but it just never seemed appropriate in this particular work? I kinda figure after the Chuunin arc, he suppresses his psychosis pretty well, or he seems to. And definitely, with Naruto in particular, he seems so woobly to me. XD; Thank you! Cheers for the review.

So, you've taken my Naruto fandom virginity. Oddly appropriate, oh wife of mine. I think I already told you in some detail what I thought of this story, but it was good and merits saying again. I love how your writing style has shifted from previous bits I've read of yours, simpler and every bit as wonderful. I don't think I've ever, ever waited for a fic, especially not one in a fandom I'm not in per se, with so much anticipation and you did not disappoint, even if you always write such obscenely long things. XD You made the tension between those two so very tangible, and... and I don't even know how to describe it. You are truly very talented at pulling your readers in. :)
