[Ficlets + Snippets] Naruto: Shades of Them

[graychalk]

Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Gaara/Sakura
Genre: Romance, Drama, Humor/Crack
Rating/Status: PG-13 / complete
Summary: Four snippets; a tiny peek into the various shades of Gaara and Sakura.

Author's Note: These are just a few short drabbly things (not inter-connected) written back in January on Tumblr for the GaaSaku month event. I'm only now realizing I actually never got around to archiving them here. Due to the delay and the fact that a couple of them are super short, I've gone ahead and lumped them together in one post.

All of these are written with prompts or specific requests in mind, but they also crept out of some kind of head canon where Sakura and Gaara are sort of already in a relationship... I think. The latter explains the somewhat lame title of this collection, unfortunately.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #84 - How you suffered for your sanity, #88 - Serenity Incarnate (for the 1st one and the 2nd one, respectively)

Summary: Kise likes to think he knows his girls. But then there is Aida Riko, tiny-bit-terrifying and not-quite-girl but obviously-very-girl.

Author's Note: Written for basketballpoetsociety's "Perfect Zodiac" challenge on Tumblr during the Amnesty round. The idea is to write something for a pair that has the best zodiac compatibility. Kise/Riko was one of them. :)
