Beautiful.

Gosh darn you! You give me the feels! So much feels! Amazing little one-shot (I think that's what you said it is; I can't remember). Either way, I loved it. TT

Loved this! :D

very good story :)

OMG! So fucking perfect

This was short, but it took my breath away. It's was a nicely executed idea.
(:

That was in one word, sooo beautiful! Oh, I'm like sooo sad and happy and giddy at the same time! It was sooo touching! And I totally agree with you about Sasori as a child! He was so cute and so adorable! I can't seem to just get enough of it! And your reason for why he let himself die? Well, it was a good substitute for the real reason. If the story were made on the form of a poem, I guess it'll really heart-wrenching for me to read.

This is a really sweet story. I enjoyed it a lot! Nicely written

I honestly did not think that I would be writing any more reviews today, but now I just can’t allow myself not to. This piece is just exquisitely written and further sheds light on Sasori, who I really think is underappreciated as a villain and a character. Your one-shot is, for once, a story that full captures the chilling enigma of who Sasori is, in regards to how a child can possibly regress and become withdrawn in such a way that he would want to be void of emotion for what could have been an eternity. It’s wholly disturbing, yet you managed to make it so without sacrificing Sasori’s humanity, which I think is the real irony of his character altogether. He claims not to feel anything, but allows himself to be killed by puppets of his own parents—puppets actually of his own creation, if I recall correctly.

Let me just say, your prose is beautiful. That’s what I love the most about interludes like this; it takes a truly skilled author to communicate such depth without having to yield pages upon pages of written monologue. My favorite part about this one-shot, however, is the connections you made to Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. It reaffirmed Sasori’s humanity (whatever of it remained, anyway) and gave both his actions and Chiyo’s words emotional significance. I must admit I never equated Sasori and Sasuke so much in that way, so thank you for including that excerpt; Naruto most definitely is a catalyst, and I appreciate the attention you drew to the difference between the catalyst Sasori chose and the catalyst Gaara chose, including the obviously different outcomes brought on by those decisions; lastly, Sasori seeing the spring one last time in Sakura is really what made this story stand out for me. It was perfect, as I’ve always felt that he developed a kind of unexpected, while quite possibly twisted, respect for her. In heart, they are very much opposites and I believe that intrigued him. Wonderful creativity on your part.

I apologize for the lengthiness, but you deserve many reviews for this. Please keep writing!
