Reviews for Sunshine Sidestories
cherryblossomszahime chapter 23 . 5/12
I love that you decided to write these and include more background story to things! :)
Guest chapter 1 . 4/9
Love this! Thank you so much for writing it. Looking forward to more Itachi in the main story. He is not normally a character that is written well in fanfic, I’m glad you got him so well.

Th for the chapter
HoratioVonBecker chapter 17 . 3/13
Upon finding out that the song is original to you, I am first off doubly impressed - that's some good poetry - and secondly I have headcanons about it now.
I'm pretty sure "Let me tell you, my darling, my sweet / Of places and spaces to make your heart beat" repeats every verse, as do "These are the spaces, where wild deer roam / These are the places, you may call your home", although the deer might be replaced with something different for other verses. It's a strong chorus, as is common with oral tradition songs - feels very authentic.
I merely suspect, and cannot actually confirm, that the other verses associate other parts of the Nara clan grounds with other seasons. I vaguely suspect winter is associated with medicine and/or other research, summer with nighttime - forest and sky - and spring with flowers. They may also dedicated to the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Konoha, which I would guess would be Fall, Spring, Winter-by-default, and Summer.
Man, I wish I knew enough Naruto lore to write this properly. It's /good/ material.

Also also, I dearly love the Shikaku/Yoshino relationship. Both Inoichi's commentary, and Shikaku's honest decision about which one he wants to keep forever. That's a /proper/ relationship. (Although it's odd that no marriage is mentioned? They /clearly/ eloped - he's not the sort to make her worry, and she's practical enough to /be/ worried if he hadn't actually married her.)

I think this might be my actual favorite chapter. Better than the Gaara fight, better than the Sasuke banter, better than Kankurou being a theatre nerd. I loved this, the song and the cactus thing especially.
It's earned a place in the top tier of my favorite stories ever. So thank you.
dancibayo chapter 23 . 2/16
love this ahhhh
Robyn.Girl.Wonder.93 chapter 23 . 11/3/2019
I love how these side stories add depth to some of the characters. They are really well written and I've really enjoyed reading them and DOS story!
tati1 chapter 1 . 10/6/2019
Is there podfic version of sunshine Side Stories I can listen to?
Indivisible chapter 1 . 9/17/2019
It's interesting to see Shikako's actions through others' eyes.
Guest chapter 17 . 9/12/2019
Love it!
Rae Kid chapter 23 . 9/2/2019
Love this, love the story- really, I could go on and on for hours raving about what an absolute delight this is, but it's currently six in the morning and I haven't slept yet AND I would probably just devolve inyo keyboard smashing and an excess of exclamation marks so I'll just skip to what I really wanted to say.

First- do you think the Shadow Strangle jutsu could be used close-up as a taijutsu modifier? Like, extra shadowy appendages- like Shikamaru's new arm, actually, just minus the seals and more temporary. Second- can you please, please, PLEASE write what happened in that information retrieval mission Aoba did with Shikako in chapter 107, the one that ended with Aoba staring blankly into a blazing campfire and trying to emphasize to Shikako that that wasn't how they usually did things? And maybe a side story from Aoba's perspective period, about this cute little kohai with a vicious and devious side (like how she tricked the two people following her into a training session with Gai, and the thing with changing Konoha's storage seal because some guy insulted Shikamaru) who stirrs absolute bedlam everywhere she goes... and maybe what he was thinking at... the end. Please, please, please?
Dinner chapter 20 . 8/4/2019
What I wouldn't give for a sidestory chapter of the daddies vs Hidan! honestly. Though perhaps it's best never to show it because the implied horror is so much better than anything we could ever write...
baconbreath chapter 17 . 7/30/2019
Been re-reading Dreaming of Sunshine (and loving it just as much as the other times I did so) and forgot how fantastic these sidestories were as well. Especially enjoyed this one and seeing Yoshino's POV. Great job writing different characters and their motivations and feelings. Thanks!
plume chapter 23 . 7/22/2019
Hehehe I really enjoy the side stories. They add counter points to Shikako's lucky seven skewed perception of normal.
If you have the time to do more chapters for this scrapbook may I vote for Kakashi pov about learning his students exploits on A ranks and turning logistics upside down, Tenzou pov of the discussion about Wolf and friendship, Shikaku, Inoichi and Ibiki trying to understand Tsunade sending a priority message about Isobu the Turtle being a wedding guest and what the hell is going on with the desk ninjas thinking Shikako's cursed?
The Anbu teammates pov would be a treat if you flesh them more. Especially as they become used to the creative problem solving. I bet that they would have a lot of disbelief to bond over.
RavenWingDark chapter 16 . 7/4/2019
