So, the theme for IH11, which will be the final chapter before the epilogue, is tenderness.

Originally, I was going to represent this with more sex. But after going through quite a lot of struggling with the planning of this chapter and talking with ka0richan and sp_kathrine, now I don't think, or even know, if sex is even necessary to accomplish my goals for the

What's this? Emotional connections not made through the sticking of penii into various orifices?

Shocking.

In all seriousness, I'm actually sort of glad you made this decision. Despite my extreme love of porn, it's refreshing to see a fanfic which doesn't follow the usual "a few build-up chapters and then tons and tons of sex" formula. Not that I would disparage those fics, because they hold a special place in my, uh, loins, but variety is the spice of life, as they say.

Well, originally the plan was that Kakashi was going to not just fuck Sasuke, but make love to him -- except, that kind of happened in Ch10. XD; And I didn't really realize that fact until now. It was supposed to be all poignant because Sasuke's never experienced tenderness like that before... except, there are other ways to express tenderness, and I don't think, in this case, sex is going to be it.

IH is much more about the story than it is about the sex. In fact, the sex wasn't even about sex. XD; It was about a lot more than sex.

Ahh...sorry I've been MIA. I've been a bit busy, but I wanted to read your chapters and post actual thoughtful comments, especially with all of the care and hard work you put into them.

I'm sure whatever you choose as an ending will be great and will fit just fine with the way the fic has been heading!

Well, you were busy with your thesis and defense, so that's understandable. The fic will always be there, so whenever you want to read it, go right ahead. xD
