Oh my gosh! I LOVE this! You found and fleshed out the parts of the original story where I always kind of wondered what was going on while Hanabi wasn't paying attention -- Hinata and Neji falling in love, and Hiashi realizing that Hinata is actually more suitable as his heir than Hanabi is. And your Hinata POV and narrative voice are fabulous!

Thank you so much for this story!
