slipping sideways

Fandom: Ao Haru Ride
Characters: Tanaka Youichi, Murao Shuuko
Rating/Status: PG / 439 words, complete
Summary: In time, Youichi knows, she will move on and remember this as just a silly crush she once had as a teenage girl.

Author's Note: Because I'm rather curious about where Sakisaka plans to go with this whole Murao and Tanaka-sensei thing. Inspired by manga chapter 11.5, featuring the side story of Murao and Tanaka-sensei, so expect spoilers for that.

Written for my Ao Haru Ride claim at 24_times, #23 - In time. Table index here. In conjunction with 500themes, #490 - When tomorrows run out.

( Tomorrow's Wish )

Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Nara Yoshino, Shikamaru/Temari
Rating/Status: G / 207 words, complete
Summary: This day may have arrived sooner than she originally thought, but Yoshino couldn't have said she was all that surprised.

Author's Note: Originally written back in 2010, during my bout of run-on sentences phase. I had left it lying around because I kept wondering if I should expand on it further. Reading it again recently, I realized that there really isn't much I want to add, so I'm posting it as is, with a bit of clean-up.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #364 - Bless the union.

( Nara Men )

Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Hatake Kakashi, Team 7
Rating/Status: G / 100 words, complete
Summary: Kakashi remembers too much, too little, and forgets why he has never passed a team.

Author's Note: An old piece sitting around my computer that I either post now or end up forever fiddling with. :p Notes regarding the title at the end of the fic.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #205 - Memory of a dream.

( The Mirror of Erised )

Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Inuzuka Kiba/Hyuuga Hanabi
Rating/Status: PG-13 / 832 words, WIP
Chapter: 1 of ?, A Razor's Edge
Timeline: Undefined future, no spoilers
Summary: In Team 8, there were certain things you simply don't speak of. Perhaps it was because of this that he never really knew her at all.

Author's Notes: Every time I lie down on the bed, I would get these "snapshots" in my head... like flashes of conversation, scenes, or just brief moments of something. I suppose you can say it's when my muse likes to visit me the most. As a result, that's where the basis of my stories generally come from. The following is a product of one of those flashes, pieced together on scraps of paper throughout the trips I had to take for work this past month. Like Simply Unspoken, it's Kiba/Hanabi, though these two fics are definitely not related in any way. This one has way more angst and much less fluff.
