always ~1100 warnings: infidelity prompt: inspired by kinkmeme: "Ok so I'd like a fic where Iruka and Kakashi are actually having an affair- as in Iruka is actually going out with someone else but has always cheated on them with Kakashi." ( always )
*cries* Aw! I love that Iruka is the one in this that's the asshole and that Kakashi is the vulnerable one and yet at the same time they both come off extremely in character.
Oh wow, this is fabulous. Heartbreaking too; but the way you've written the ending sort of turns it on his head - even though Iruka is cheating and has a lot to lose materialistically, Kakashi seems the most fragile - he might lose his heart.
I love fic like this that isn't just run of the mill, it truly has great character insights and makes me think.
God, I have a secret love for fragile Kakashi too! Not many people can get that right balance Kakashi needs of fragile yet still in character(if that makes sense) and yet you pulled it off fantastically.
Oh, that icon! I made that from one of my favourite pictures ever.. I think it's by either Sidoro or Ashflower (both whose sites have disappeared, dammit). If you want, I'll send it to you ;)
thank you thank you thank you. i'm blushing. i think it's one of those facets of his personality that you have to look at just the right angle to see. i don't see iruka as the fragile one at all. he's too assured, you know? he's been through the fragile part already. i don't think kakashi ever got a chance to feel doubt or insecurity--and he doesn't think he needs to. which of course, makes him fragile. you just have to strike the right spot.
darn. i swore off psychoanalysis!
i would love to see that pic, thaaaank you. i'm at gmail, same username. ^_^
I told you before, and I'll tell you again, I think you do one of the best, if not THE best, Kakashi-characterizations. I'm such a fan of how you write him, so dangerous and yet so vulnerable, that Iruka can trample all over his heart and not be sure of how he managed to do that in the first place. *HUGS*
thank you. i could go all craazytalk! but that just means so much. i'm so happy you like him and believe the characterisation. i know how much you love kakashi too so that means just so so so much.

iruka's a victim of circumstance here, but he's certainly enjoying the circumstance that kakashi accepts. hopefully iruka will do kakashi right!
