This fic is so sweet and light. This AU gave me new ways to view the characters. Thank you for writing this

This is probably one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever read. It’s such a nice break from the darker fanfics and what I really needed to read right now. I enjoyed every second of this. Thank you!

I don't even know how much and how many times i have cried while reading, Butterfly. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for writing this absolutely beautiful piece of writing that many a times makes it impossible for me to stop that Tight lump of tears to flow out so rapidly. I thank you as a person whose still struggling, is in the middle of letting go of something that i used to love to do but i can't now. I hope to learn to live with it, and oneday be happy too.

I had a really hard day today. This fic is the only thing that kept me going today, I genuinely teared up at parts. It’s actually my second time reading but it hit different the second time, especially because I live in Kyushu now and seeing all the familiar places and kyushuben mentioned made me strangely happy. Thank you so much for all the work that you do :)

THIS STORY IS JUST. *CHEF'S KISS*. TOP TIER!

I can't believe there's a fic that combines my love for figure skating and teaching into one story. Everything about this fic just feels so authentic - I wouldn't be surprised if the author has experience teaching in a small town in Japan. Itachi and Sakura in this fic are so well-written and complex (just like they are in literally all of this author's other stories—this author is so consistent and talented). I love that you included so many other canon characters like Naruto his family, Haku, and all the teachers at the school Sakura works at, just to name some of my favourites. The way everyone supports and looks out for each other is seriously goals (found-families is one of my favourite tropes!)

I really appreciate that Itachi and Sakura's relationship developed so naturally and that their relationship wasn't the only focus of this story. Sakura's friendships/relationships with others were also important (although in different ways, of course, just like in real life). And I love that Sakura in this story is in her late 20s (if I remember correctly)—it's like I got a taste of what it's like to be a teacher/adult juggling different aspects of life in their 20s. I find myself rereading this fic every once in a while, because it is such a calming and well-developed story. There is no doubt in my mind that the author has put in a lot of love and time into this story.

Thank you for this, and for sharing your work with us.

I binge read this in a day lol! This was such a beautifully written, well paced, peaceful, studio ghibli vibe, rolling around from the fluff kind of piece of art! Thank you so much for writing this, I loved everything and I loved mostly how every character was so loving and supportive of each other.

"he's a registered member" I'M CRYING XD

I WAS EXPECTING SAI. OH MY GOSH

I love everything about this fic!

I confess I'm a little dizzy right now, eyes blurred from crying and heart so tight but at the same time so harm I'm barely able to write properly.
Like... how do you move forward from such a beautiful work? What you have here is pure gold, from world building, character development, plot lines. Wow. I'm really wowed.
I almost feel like I know these people and this city, even though it's way far from my big city reality. Its like hugging someone knew and feeling a well know warm. And in a way, your history feels like nostalgia.
I know I've said that already but your construction of ItaSaku is something. Magical, beautiful, truly yours. These characters belongs to you, believe me.
I'm curious, did you plan this whole thing out before you started to write? Because it's a gorgeously wrapped up story! Felt like a ride, in a straight line, from A to B, and then suddenly it's more like a cycle because you maneuvered the characters and their development and growth and ah. I don't what to say.
What I feel right now is very abstract and well, art leaves that kind of mark in people!
Thank you for Butterfly and for the journey to a well constructed city, believable characters and relationship and most of all, thank you for sharing such an amazing story with me, with us. Love always, tbc.

I'll probably read this again... and again. On&on! Beautiful from the start 'til end. Just the right amount of cringe, crack and cry. Really. Honestly, Itachi and Sakura are my all time favorites! And I might add that I love ice skating, influenced by Yuri! On Ice...

So yeah.. perfect just for me. And to y'all.
Be proud of yourself, oh awesome author. Heck, I am for reading this masterpiece.

I really loved reading this story. I loved all the different interactions and witty banter between the characters. This was a well written story. Thanks for writing and sharing your story. I liked how you wrote the romance between Sakura and Itachi. I am glad I got the time to read your story.

I enjoyed this story an awful lot. Lots of awwws, laughs, and tears. Your knowledge of skating (and/or ability to do research) added an extra dimension that most AU stories lack.

Omg I must’ve died laughing in the scene where Uchiha tried to stop Haruno from suicide

So, I absolutely devoured this entire thing in one day. I could barely put it down. I am absolutely in love with your story telling. You have such a strong sense of details that this entire fic was incredibly vivid to my mind's eye. There was just something about the way you worded small actions that didn't feel like over describing but rather really pulled me into the moment. You took such a wildly au idea and it was fabulous. Honestly would love to read your personal work if ever publish, or have published. Amazing job!
