Summary: The road out of the horrors they've endured together - and that he has wrought upon her - is long and arduous. But to know Sakura is to know her endless capacity for forgiveness, and so all Sasuke can do is try to transcend the nightmares he has lived and spun. If not for himself, then at least for her.
Review: This is a series of vignettes that are all connected, but each one can be read separately as a oneshot. I love this collection because it follows Sasuke and Sakura during the blank period. If that’s not already a sign to read it (because blank period is superior, don’t @ me), the author does a lovely job in carving out each pinnacle moment in their relationship as they learn and grow from each other. Honestly, each vignette is so beautiful and encapsulates how I would imagine their journey to have been like. Lastly, it has some good smut and who doesn’t love that?
Rating: I’ve realized how arbitrary ratings can be, so let’s just assume any story worth reviewing is worth the read :)
