Wow, I've never gotten such an in-depth comment before, so I'm super excited right now! <3 <3 <3
I'm glad you like my characterizations, I was trying to go for subtle and hoping desperately that I wasn't veering into 'dull' territory. Iruka was a surprisingly easy character to write. He always seemed rather hotheaded to me, with a habit of acting before he thinks and allowing his idealism/emotions to overtake his caution. Other times, he does fall back on his modesty/maturity/propriety, so it was interesting to explore that angle.
And rah, thank you for the nice comments on my dialogue/poetic style ;_; I mostly write humorous PWPs when it comes to fanfiction, so its almost a departure to go back to my lyrical roots and pull out something with angst. I'm so glad it worked for you!
BTW: I adore adore adore your KakaIru art, so it's an extra honor for you to comment <3
