OwO

Wow! I'm just... I'm so excited for this story! You have no idea. I love the emotions, the adorable Romeo and Juliet hint, the well-written supernatural aspect, and yes, the sex scenes.

I was also pretty hesitant to read "yet another vampire/werewolf story" but I am SO happy that I gave it a shot! This was just... Wow! There are some deliciously romantic parts that just have me squealing - and I'm usually not one for serious romance. My stories are usually depressing, and any romance is more of an undertone than anything, and that's usually the way I like other stories.

But, as I said, I'm so happy that I gave this story a chance. I was not at all disappointed. ^^

The only reason I haven't finished reading this story yet is because I have classes in the morning and I need to get some rest. This. Is. Amazing.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were mates, the feelings they have for one another would seem too fast. But because they're tied by bonds so much stronger than themselves, it almost puts Romeo and Juliet's lust-based love to shame. I'm adoring every second of this. Usually, this type of depiction of Naruto and Sasuke's emotions for each other (i.e. the fluff and romantic scenes after mating) would have me doing a 180 and walking in the opposite direction, but because of their circumstances, which you brilliantly executed, and simply the way you wrote it, I was hooked. This is beautiful. I'm sticking with this and recommending it.

Oh, I'm glad Sasuke and Naruto are trying to get to know one another. I don't mind that you did it this way since they recognize how much they don't know about one another, and are starting to understand how different they are to each other, just by being different species. The conversation about food was funny because even a little thing like that shows how different their experiences are to each other.

You know, even if everybody was OK with a werewolf and a vampire being together, Naruto still wouldn't be getting the kind of mating experience werewolf pairs normally have since Sasuke is nocturnal. He'd pretty much HAVE to be kept waiting from sunup to sundown whether he liked it or not. The only difference here from what he would have otherwise gone through is that he'd at least have the luxury of being able to sleep next to Sasuke while he rests.

I'm really worried about Sasuke's feeding habits. Karin said vampires can't go blood-only, which would be fine if he was able to take energy from sex with Naruto. But he can't. Naruto doesn't like the idea of Sasuke having sex with anyone other than him, and it seems like Sasuke wasn't too keen on being with someone other than Naruto when he walked in on Karin. So what's he going to do? It would kill Naruto to give Sasuke all the blood he needs, but it would kill Sasuke not to get the energy he needs to survive! (Kushina might not have to lift a finger to get rid of him if the hunger does it for her.) Doesn't seem like being mated to a werewolf has changed him (or Naruto) biologically in any way (like all of a sudden he's not nocturnal, or all of a sudden Naruto is). They are both werewolf and vampire, same as they always have been. However, it would have been convenient if he suddenly found himself being able to eat solid food! Hopefully they'll figure something out?

The relationship you're describing is very complex. On one hand, it's purely instinctual drive, pull, lust with no reasons needed. Simple. On the other hand, we have 2 grown ups from veery different worlds.. more and more differences to add up. Naruto has already set some definite limits: decency rules, fidelity, no converting himself into a vampire..Sasuke is a nocturnal - starving :)- hunter. What will they add, each to his own list?
What will happen when Naruto has got to know his mate well enough? What kind of person Sasuke is? Mass murderer, maybe. Immoral, cynical, aggressive? Just how much is Naruto ready to take? Incl. those traits that cannot be reformed?

It's strange to analyse such strong emotions that appeared without usual background, from zero, so to say.

"When he met Sasuke, it was like he was suddenly seeing in colour" - but was Naruto's life *that bad* without the guy? Sasuke definitely didn't miss any of the 'normal' pleasures of his lifestyle. Are they *that* indispensable for each other? Isn't it an exaggeration?

I liked the way you described the changes in their perception and inner state, as well as the focus on each other, they really feel "fixed" on each other.

I wonder why has naruto became an 'alpha male' in the story.. just because he knew what was going on between them during that party? Or because he's a bit taller and of more muscular than lean type of build?:) Or, better, because he's more sure of the absolute necessity of his mate sharing his life?
Than Sasuke's role in the couple is more of a.. ? A sex-addicted b*ch, a follower? Obviously, Naruto has already taken up the leader's role.

Hurrah, the aspect of investigation isn't lost for the story! Madara, Madara, oh, Madara - always the one to blame :) An alchemist of revenge, bloodlust and discord:) The plot behind the fuelling the feud! Ancient books and ancient languages!
I liked Karin's story, too. Maybe people like her will become a separate force in the coming "war".

Thank you and good luck with the story! My questions aren't adressed to you, they just mark the points I found interesting. I don't expect any explanation, not so far, please don't think that I'm a demanding reader:)

Oh wow, did I get totally hooked on this story! I'm really a sucker for these 'forbidden romance' kind of stories. ;D I just hope our boys won't meet the same end as Romeo and Juliet. :'( Keep up the great work ~

I just finished reading your latest chapter and I totally loved it. I am reall like the direction that you are taking in this story but I just hope that naruto and sasuke don't end up like romeo and juliet. You know them dying.

Well keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next chapter.

I'm not usually a fan of vampire fics, to be honest, because they often bring out some of the worst tendencies in pairing fic (in other words, piles and piles of flangst and whiny, hysterical characters who've lose all sense of reason). However, this one has a few good things going for it since they are both supernatural creatures. (I'm grateful we get to skip over the whole tedious conflict over whether or not Sasuke and Naruto should "turn" their mates.) I also like your choice to make them both older characters who (at least in Naruto's case) have seen a bit of the world. You mentioned this was supposed to be a Romeo & Juliet-style fic? The problem with Romeo and Juliet was really their ages. The tragedy of the play could have been averted at a number of points during the course of the action if only cooler heads had prevailed and a little more foresight and discretion had been used. (Hell, even at the very end if Romeo had just waited a couple minutes before drinking that stupid poison...) Hopefully it will make a positive difference in what happens to Naruto and Sasuke since they didn't *just* reach adulthood. While the rush of mating might be new, they've both experienced sex before and are world-weary enough to be aware of politics in a way Romeo and Juliet weren't. They can be smart about finding a way to be together?

This is pretty good so far. Surprisingly, I like the Kiba x Sakura. (I think because Kiba is a little Naruto-like, so by association they have a more natural rapport than if you'd put her with Lee or one of the other males.) It's interesting that Sasuke has some vaguely werewolf-like characteristics with his sense of smell (at least where Naruto is concerned), his mating instincts that a vampire supposedly shouldn't have, and his ability to shapeshift into a large animal. Is there anything vampire-like about Naruto as well?

So now the question is, how quickly will Naruto and Sasuke find out the truth about each other? Naruto thinks Sasuke must be human, so would he try to mate with him without attempting to explain what the two of them having sex would mean? And even if Naruto is too far gone to control himself, would Sakura and Kiba stand by and do nothing? At least Naruto knows about mating and knows Sasuke isn't the same species as him. Poor Sasuke doesn't know anything about that and comes from a species where monogamy is NOT the norm. Being with Naruto forever, even if his instincts are telling him to go for it, is actually a pretty big sacrifice for him. But then, isn't being with Sasuke a sacrifice for Naruto, especially since Sasuke will be dependent upon him for feeding? No matter how strong a werewolf is, regularly giving Sasuke his lifeforce (whether through sex or blood) would have to take its toll on Naruto.

And those are just a few of the problems between them. When you add in external forces like Kushina the vampire hunter, and Fugaku who already looks down on Sasuke for being able to shapeshift, these two have their work cut out for them... How soon will they mate? I'm hoping they don't do it right away and then find themselves stuck with one another and forced to work things out because of circumstances. (That kind of thing always strikes me as rushing the pairing too much.) I'm hoping they try to fight it for a while and then make the decision to go ahead with it, despite the consequences. (There would be a little more foundation for the pairing that way, rather than just instincts.) But that's just my take on it.

I cannot honestly say if I liked the story or not.. Ahh-rawrrrrrrr.. this creepy, standard-Twilight theme and accents.. why oh why *must* they be a vampire and a werewolf???.. especially with Kishimoto�s universe so rich in different creatures?
So I need to read more to say if I like it or not. What I did like was Naruto�s direct approach to the situation: you came, you spot, you claim :) So it seems.
Actually, the situation in Ch.1 is quite the opposite to what was said in Prologue: no feuds, young people of both races can mingle well, as for animosity disgust , it was manifested only by absent MrUchiha Sr and Mrs Uzumaki : ) So I guess it�s okay and even more peaceful atmosphere for both guys to get together.
Where�s that �uneasiness�? So far, no vampire has even noticed or sensed werewolves� presence � which *is* strange. Young generation is clearly ready to let go of prejudices � so?..

Gay unmated werewolves � ahh, this *is* so saaad.. and unfair.

I wonder if Naruto truly wants a mate, as it seems that he�s been searching one for so long more because of a tradition and his becoming of a certain age, rather than because he�s lonely. Before sasuke appeared, he was ready to let go and settle down, find a steady job.. what he really wants?
Okay, instincts first, but still?

And for a wolf to spend so much time away from his original pack - how did he cope with it? And what is his real pack look like?

Naruto a cop? Any professional training or experience, then? And I personally hope and vote for some bloody crimes in the vicinity :)

And it was *so* easy just to set your eyes on you mate, feel him � and come up to him.. so damn easy.. what a shame, after so many years spent in your search for one.. Will there be any difficulties at hand, like, say, wanna-be girlfriends, annoying, nosy well-wishers or aggressive relatives present at the party? Tybalt or Mercutio-like? let'em rock & crash the party!

What I�d like to read more about, too: Narutos and Sasuke�s appearance incl. smells and tactile sensations, background, characters.. if they're animal-like in their core, there must be some.. descriptions of the way they *feel* each other. Please in details! :)) � let�s follow Twilight A to Z.. it's okay here.

As for the title.. it's a story of a gay, male romance, so allusions to flowers seem to be a bit off.. unless both guys are well-versed in Shakespeare and will use their knowledge:)

Thank you and good luck with your writing!
