herkjeeldkjdslsdaksdj thanks so much, Deni. <3
I'm going to read everyone's entries tonight, and I can't wait.

The title of this fic is so fitting for the story. It reminds me of when you see a table covered with scratches... but still find beauty in all the marks and in the hidden stories behind the scars. It's a very unique sort of perspective ( ... )

Oh, Clear, I am sorry to have ripped your heart out. Thank you for nonetheless leaving me another lovely comment with your thoughts and perspective--I truly, truly treasure it.

Thank you, Dawn! I know this was not too romance-heavy, but I still did want to convey that they very much love each other, but it will take a lot of time for them to recover from their losses in order to be ready to love each other, if that makes sense.

One day, I'll flesh this out into a multi-, maybe. I have so many ideas running around with this fic. <3

This was amazing. I love older Kakashi and Sakura, and I love the idea of Sakura as the Hokage too. It really was lovely, and now I need to go to bed and pass out and not pick another story from your archives to read tonight. (ugh, when did it get to be 4 a.m.?)

Reeves!! Thank you for all the lovely things you said. Wow, you really have turned my heart to mushy mush! I actually really loved this fic, and have plans to expand it a bit...you wonderful people inspire me so much to take my little writing hobby here to another level. <3. You're so sweet, hon!

I can pretty much guarantee that I'll find a fic that I love if I come visit any of my OLP friends. I go to the library and I'm lucky if I find one or two books out of ten that are decent. I would totally encourage you to make your writing more than just a hobby, especially with how easy it is to self-publish with Kindle or other e-readers and whatnot. (Honestly, that's kind of my goal in the next year, to actually take one of my original story ideas and write a book.) ^__^ We should make a pact to do it together.

(and not just because I know an awesome professional editor who is really great at her job, but quit it to become an artist). I know both of us have the proofer hookup.

This was lovely. Now me, I always love some good angst, but I love the thread of steely strength you have running through each of them, how the drudgery of their lives seeks to crush them but they both withstand it all even without necessarily understanding how or why. It's a very nice balance you got here and a wonderful story.

Ah, man, I am a month late in replying to this, but thank you for commenting, FT, and for your sweet words, darlin'!! You know that I live for angst and tragic characters. It's probably why I'm drawn to these two so dearly.
