Honestly I prefer this over the canon Naruhina... Very, very realistic ending we got here. I never bought the lackluster love Kishimoto sold us all. Naruto never gave her a proper answer. 2 hours or something of a movie isn't enough. Yeah, I know, it is a shonen but ughnnnn...
You illustrated fair points about Hinata here. She always waited for him and changed for him. She risked her life for him while confessing her love, she was the first kid who never despised him, etc, etc... I really liked how you had her saying "everyone expected me to always chase after you" or just the simple "I was so angry".
Naruto is an idiot. Hats off to this story!

I'm floored by this story

I don't usually read pure romance stories because movies, webseries and many other things gave me PTSD towards it. But this was quite good, I want to flame you so hard for the ending but wanna kiss and praise you at the same time. I hate drama, I really do but it was quite tolerable here solely because of your great writing skills. Thank You for taking me into this journey of drama filled love.

I had a shattered whine escape me after reading this.

This is fucking fantastic and don't let anyone else say different.

O M G. So i am a major anti Naruhina fan and i love pairing Hinata with anyone BUT Naruto, but this story. This was it. You made me want Naruto and Hinata together! I could not believe myself. So I guess I will allow myself to watch Boruto now since I want them to be together after reading your story! So talented! Great job 17/10.

I read this in a day and I cried so much. You write angst beautifully.

I absolutely love this. it's everything i ever wanted in a fanfic. i never actually see naruto as someone who would abuse is authority but damn after reading this yes yes he would lol. anyways just wanna express my gratitude that you wrote this and i found it. i sure hope you would write more. have a great day!

This made me cry. It was really well written and realistic. I loved it. The drama between the two and remorse about what could have been. The missed opportunities and lessons that you learn about not taking that leap of faith. I think this will become one of my all time favorites.

Wow the tears, the depth, the impact this has lmao thank you for the wonderful work you've done
The complexity you could achieve made me ksjahajakdkdjeieolsla throughout those three chapters

What I really liked about this is, even though this story is angsty and bittersweet, it implies how they might work so well together in canon. I'm impressed with how well you got their relationship across, and how much you could imply about an entirely different world. And the unreliable narrator seemed used really well. I didn't feel like the carpet was ripped out from under me unexpectedly so much as I could feel it might be coming and then it fell into place.

Thank you for spending the time to write this! Off to see some of your others!

Such a good story once I started reading I couldn’t stop

I just have to say this is a great story and most people would agree with me. However, reading through reviews I see comments that would be quite hurtful to me if I were receiving them. Insults, threats and even curses and death wishes against your family. I just want to say this was a well written story.

You weave a tale like no other. I am shocked and thrilled and exasperated and so many mixed up emotions besides. This is the mark of a really good writer. I can't believe I just now found this. I love it.

Damn... This is the first fic I read for this fandom since I-don't-know-how-long and you just had to punch me like that?

It was SO well written and the drama was real and now I feel like I NEED to get back to this fandom full-time and immerse myself if some NaruHina fluff.

Damn you.

This story is so well written that I always come back to read more. It’s so emotional, so real and hurtful, it’s possible to feel their feelings and their frustration. Beautiful! What a work!
