I really love it xD
Domestic Sakumoto is lovely, even if it isn't that fluffy.
Uh, and I'd like to read about when they tell other Arashi member, hehe :p
Thank you xD

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.

There are some really great domestic Sakumoto fanfics out there. Sadly, I don't have all the links here at work but you might want to read breakfast by astrangerenters in case you didn't know it already.

[dekkawai]

No, I haven't read that yet. Or maybe if I have, I forgot :|
Well thank you for the recommendation :)
And thanks again for your fic :D

[steffilinos]

You're welcome :)

Life isn't a quiet river, especially a couple life.
I have to admit that I like more than anything this kind of daily routine for a well-established couple (even a secret one) when a little tiny incident is enough to spark things off...I wrote a lot myself and I can't get enough of it.
Because daily routine can be the worst ennemy of love stories.
Because one day, the charming flaws of the love one can become an endless source of irritation if you don't pay attention. I really love the way you told this slice of life, so vividly, without never falling into an easy bitterness. It's full of love, it's adult-like and it touches me a lot.
So thanks a lot for making my day brighter ♥

Awwww Wendy, thanks so much for your lovely comment.

I don't know about chaos but I have to admit that I didn't have this great masterplan of showing the difficulties of a long-term relationship in mind when I wrote this. The basic idea was to create something that was funny yet believable, yet with fluffy elements as well as.

We've been writing so much angst when it comes to Sakumoto that it felt nice to do something with an easier touch to it. I don't see Jun and Sho as the happy go lucky pairing, especially not when they have been a couple for so long with both being headstrong personalities. So naturally, they'd fight - but we wanted them to kiss and make up in the end and finish the fanfic with a positive feeling.

Long story short: I guess we're both glad that our attempt at domestic Sakumoto worked for you and you liked our slice-of-life bit. :)

I like established Sakumoto a lot, just seeing where they'd continue to butt heads with their personalities. The thought of Mr. Fix-It Sho with his home shopping obsession is too cute :)

It's always an interesting thought to go further than the will-they-won't-they, so writing established relationships and slice-of-life stories is a very rewarding and nice change in pace. We're glad you like them too. :)

Liked their love-hate-love relationship...they were perfectly suited for each other ;)

[kitkaos]

They're definitely a drama-worthy pairing, so it's always fun to write those two. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. <3

Really, really love this kind of story.
We get the excitement of imagining our favorite pair together, i.e feeding the fangirl within us.
And at the same time we can learn something important from this kind of story.

Thank you very much for this beautiful story! <333

We had fun writing it - even better if we accidentally managed to make it educational in some way (sign me up for teacher Arashi anytime). :)
Thank you for reading and commenting <3
