AnonAsks: I love the fact that your OC isn’t madly in love with Kakashi right off the bat. (It isn’t meant to be mean in any way) I’m sure if it was me I’d be giggling like Jiraya at the onsen I love that’s she’s a person who’s figuring things out at her own pace.

Anonymous said to cyb-by-lang: P.P.S. I love your rendition of Gai!he’s so well written without
being over the top or a caricature. That’s something that makes me
really happy   The Gaisuke BroTP is something I will defend with my
life!!!!! 

Pretty sure these are all you, so I’m putting them all together.

I’m pretty sure Kei’s slow start to romance was a major factor in it coming across as realistic, as silly as that may sound. I had a lot of time to develop her and Kakashi as friends first, and even now their lives don’t fully revolve around each other. It sort of lets them be full people on their own standing, you know?

I’m also really glad you like Miyako. I figured when people reacted well enough to her short story that she’d be all right. Even if said story was essentially a posthumous flashback.

Gai is just great, isn’t he?
