slipping sideways

Perhaps it's because Pictures on the Wall is a story I've never had anyone to really talk to about, I'm always fretting over it - monstrous thing of doom that it is. That's a decade of fretting, I just realized. :P But I have lots of thoughts about the fic, because, well, it's rather impossible not have any for a story I spent so many years mulling over.

That said, I've decided to go ahead and begin re-posting revisions for the story. More than anything, this is to prevent me from editing the revisions any further. It was my original intention to get at least half the story revised before I begin posting, but I'm beginning to realize that I'll never stop fiddling with them if I don't put it out for the public - and I've been fiddling for years. Yes, years. And the versions only got worse, not better. Enough is enough, me thinks. ._.

Rating/Words: G / 66 words for fanart

Author's Note: This picture is so beautiful - and sad, because well, Asuma. 'Nuff said. I couldn't resist writing a few words for it. Looking at the picture just makes me think of "after Asuma is gone" more than "while he is still alive" so I ended up with this.

Rating/Status: G / 176 words, complete
Summary: Naruto had always wanted to be a hero. But not this way.

Author's Note: Also an old piece I found lying around my folder of Naruto drafts. One of these days, I'll write something new. I'm sure of it. :P This one was actually part of a series of short pieces based on the theme of "Heroes" but I only wrote about four and never went on with it. I'll probably post the other three eventually (Orochimaru, Sakura, and Tsunade). This one is Naruto.
