Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Shikamaru/Temari
Genre: Romance, Hopeful Feelings
Rating/Status: G / 380 words, complete
Summary: A second in Tsukuyomi can last days, and minutes a lifetime. Shikamaru has lived it all, and he remembers too clearly, her presence. Reaction fic to Shikamaru's portion of the dreams in ch.678.

Author's Note: This came from thinking too much about the dream sequence shown in manga ch.678 and how we only saw one moment out of what may very well be a lifetime for them. There aren't any real spoilers per se, but it might be a bit confusing without having read said chapter (which, in itself is pretty standalone... I jumped straight there myself, after who knows how many chapters I missed). This fic is directly in response to the portion that has every ShikaTema fan out there screaming.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #047 - One dream, one lifetime.

Professionalism, it appears, is overrated where Kise is concerned. It's like déjà vu, really. In short, this is Version 2 of Professionalism, Except Not Really. PG / 275 words, complete.

I initially attempted to write another version that wasn't as crackish as the first one in hopes of getting it to fit into that long fic I wanted to write... except it turned out practically the same. So here it is too, for archival purposes. It follows pretty much the same formula; the two may as well be identical.

Applicable prompts: 500themes #344. Hold still, I'm trying to kill you.

Characters: Kiyoshi Teppei
Genre: Gen, Drama, kinda Angst
Rating/Status: PG-13 / 1,392 words, complete
Warning: References background info that hasn't shown up in the 1st season of the anime so it could be spoilerish for non-manga readers.
Summary: The first time he tells you basketball is fun, his words are so full of enthusiasm you can’t help but marvel at it. (2nd person POV)

Author's Note: Written for basketballpoetsociety's "Basketball" challenge on Tumblr during the Amnesty round.

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)

( Shades of Them )

Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hiashi, Hyuuga Hinata
Genre: Tragedy, Family
Rating/Status: PG-13 / 724 words, complete
Summary: The old are supposed to protect the young. A rewrite of chapter 614.

Author's Note: Spoilers for the most recent manga chapter, 614. Written because it isn't so hard picturing this happening instead of that thing Kishimoto gave us.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #426 - A tale rewritten.

( A Tale Rewritten )

Fandom: Ao Haru Ride
Characters: Makita Yuuri
Rating/Status: PG / 274 words, complete
Summary: Next time, Yuuri would find someone who could love her back.

Author's Note: Written as a missing scene following manga chapter 15, because as much as I'm completely cheering for Futaba, I do hope Yuuri finds her own happy ending (even if Futaba's own happy ending is a tad dubious at the moment).

Written for my Ao Haru Ride claim at 24_times, #19 - Next time. Table index here. In conjunction with 500themes, #060 - One final look back.

Fandom: Ao no Exorcist / Blue Exorcist
Characters: Okumura Rin, Okumura Yukio
Rating/Status: PG / 686 words, complete
Summary: Growing up, Yukio may have been able to see things Rin couldn't see, but there were also plenty of things Rin could see that Yukio couldn't. Pre-series.

Author's Note: I haven't kept up with the manga for a few months now, so I don't know if canon managed to disprove any aspect of this fic since then. I wrote it back in March, and it was originally supposed to be a part of a longer fic, but I gave up on the idea and decided to post the snippet as a standalone scene. Takes place pre-series, some unspecified time early on when Rin and Yukio were young children.

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #151 - When eyes believe in mysteries.

( Blindly Seeing )

Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke
Rating/Status: PG-13 / 387 words, complete
Summary: There are four times Naruto thinks he may have understood Sasuke, but when all is said and done, there is perhaps just once when he finally does.

Author's Note: Old fic dump, written ten months ago or so. I know it seems like I'm always doing old fic dumps, but between my lame writer's angst and the fact that I haven't actually been online in months, it should probably be a positive thing that I'm able to post something at all right now. :\

Applicable prompts: 500themes, #009 - Sensation of loss.

( Unraveling a Circle )

The massive list of prompts from 500themes that I've been meaning to put up here. I'm probably insane, but some motivation should be good. If anything, it'd get me to write in general, regardless whether I'll ever manage to complete this thing. :P

Progress: 017/500
Current Word Count: 6,635

( The very long list. )

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.
