slipping sideways

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.

Author's Note: There's something about this picture that seems sad in a surreal way, maybe it's the colors or the expressions on Shikamaru's and Asuma's face - either way, I obviously went and twisted things around again. I'm beginning to wonder if my "art fics" are ever going to be straightforward. ^^;

Summary: She was worried about her hair, only to find that her knickers had betrayed her.

Author's Notes: So I wrote two ShikaTema drabbles with absolutely no dialogue only to end up writing one with just dialogue this time around. *_* One of these days, I'll get around to finding a balance between the two. :p Written for dialogue_500's prompt #12 The Accident, which is to write a conversation revolving around something important having been destroyed/damaged by a character. Possible OOC though I hope it isn't too bad for a weird fic like this. ^^;

Timeline: Open for anytime after the Sasuke retrieval arc (around manga ch.238+). No spoilers.
Summary: Somehow, Temari had become a defining presence in his life.

Author's Notes: My first attempt at a Naruto fic- and there's no other way to start than with my beloved ShikaTema! Written all in one short sitting for character study purposes and for exploring the relationship between Shikamaru and Temari before I try to tackle something longer. I'm not very good at drabbles so I figured this would be a good way to practice and also to get my feel of this pairing.
