I'm--- I mean, nobody's ever called my writing perfect before, so um. jdsfblbagkfgn. THANK YOU. & hearts. Lots of them. 8D
Imagery was definitely the hardest part of this--- some sentences got a little too purple at times, which almost gave me a heart attack because they were imperative if I was ever going to achieve that dream-quality.
That was what I was going for, actually: time passing by like a dream. I'm so glad you picked up on it! ;__; My mission has been accomplished. :D

I love that touch of surrealism that the second person POV gives to this. Absolutely wonderful! And I really enjoyed the glimpses of Sakura and Tsunade's relationship. This line, especially:
You realize that Tsunade does do it on purpose - dishing out tough love because she has tough luck and nothing has ever really gone her way; she isn’t about to let you follow in her footsteps and develop blisters on your feet because you’re still too young, her eyes say.
Sasuke's return in the beginning was really great, too. I'm glad you showed that and then backed up and switched into Sakura's POV. It really tied it all together at the end.
Beautiful story!

But I guess braving the possibility of potential "What. What is that even supposed to be. Are you seriously writing this." reactions were worth it<33 I'm glad it worked for this piece, and bought that, uh, ~surreal~ feel to it as well./relieved
Tsunade-Sakura mentor-student relationship is something I've always wanted to explore - because in that respect even Lee and Gai get more spotlight and they're not even main characters. Kishimoto treats his women excellently, doesn't he? :/
I'm so glad that Sasuke's scene worked for you - before sirona_gs got to it, it was horrible. ;__; Sakura's POV was easier to write.
It really tied it all together at the end. - Since there's a conclusive tone to it, so I probably won't turn this into a multi-chapter, as I had originally planned. Or maybe I will ( ... )

Ugh, yeah. Kishimoto's frustrating when it comes to his female characters. I especially hate the way he treats Sakura. He's given her so much potential, but he doesn't use it! Gah, drives me nutters!
Ha-ha, well if you do decide to turn it into a multi-chapter, I'm sure it'll be great! You've set up a really interesting beginning to a Sasuke returns fic. ♥
Daww, shucks! I'd love to be friends. ^///^

I want the Sakura that Grandma Chiyo saw so much potential in, the Sakura that showed Sasori just who was boss and the Sakura that was Naruto's rock when he broke down crying. But, le sigh. :'(
2010 has certainly not been the kindest year to Sakura at all. :/
We'll see about the continuation~ XD I hope things go well for you this year, paige, because my New Year was definitely full of sparkles~
Happy New Year!♥
