What a fantastic story!

The drama mixed with the anguish, I managed to feel the pain of the characters.

I loved it! Never stop writing stories like that.

i miss temari, highly doubt she'd be absent for all of this :(
but still quite sweet hehe

This is really cute!

Wow that was one of the top best stories I have ever read amazing you have true talent Ariel your amazing words can't describe!

Love love love it so much sorry I forgot to review the last chapter but just know it was amazing the affection heart warming and fuzziness amazing to good! Your professional!

I love your fan fictions they are absolutely amazing so well written words can't deprive it it's always so fuzzy and heart warming I love it I love it your stories all of them are amazing and I hope to read even more!

I read all of the chapters in one go and loved it. Cute brotherly love all the way. I do agree that the two brothers are closer than with Temari. It was just CUTE!
Keep up the amazing work.

Words can not describe how much I love this story!

I feel ashamed to know the fact until recently I had forgotten that Kunkuro and Gaara were brothers.

And also that I never took the time to read a fanfic about them, usually when I read a Naruto fanfic it's all about Itachi and Sasuke, cause though two are just adorable! But The Sandbros are the second just as lovely.

Please write more Gaara and Kankuro brotherly fanfics!

This is an amazing story! I love it - it is so touching. I was nearly on the edge of tears! I am also writing a story about the Sand Siblings, so if it's OK with you... can I borrow this as inspiration for my own story? Thankyou for posting such a fantastic story. You are truly a brilliant writer.

This story touched me so much that I cried. I really respect an author who can convey that much emotion in a story.

Brilliant writing and continue making more!

I think I understand better now the relationship between brothers. Or just plain life. The love that pores out of the words fly straight to my heart.

And yes I admit it. I cried, because I want to be just like Kankuro.

naaaaaw gaara!

im really glad you wrote this, i was always disappointed that gaara's recovery was never explored in the anime or manga, he is such an amazing character, so insightful, but so broken... and you just write him so well its great :)

"all her body heat was seeking her heart in an attempt to warm it." i dont know why, but i absolutely love this line :)

really sweet story, loved the brotherly fluff at the end, gaara's such a sweetie xD

This is the best fic I've read in a very, very, very long time. I love Kankuro and Gaara. I almost believe that this really did happen. Congratulations on a masterpiece!

I love stories where these two act like real brothers. I think I've read this one before, but I found it again. It's just as good as the first time.

One of my favorite parts is how Gaara actually calls Kankuro Nii-san and starts thinking of him like that. I loved their hug at the beginning too. You can tell these little actions mean so much to both of them. It's nice to see Gaara learning to rely on and trust his older brother.

Gaara's also learning a lot about family from him. I like that while he thinks back to Naruto, all of his thoughts aren't consumed by him, and he can look to other people for examples and things to appreciate and admire.

About chapters 278-281, what was different about the fan translation from the Shonen Jump version that you liked better? Were there any major changes in the dialogue?

Anyway, I really enjoy reading your Naruto stories. No one writes the sand siblings as well as you do.
