This is a really old story but still gold, have you ever read house of crows by silvershine? Because I just finished rereading the whole thing in a week and its too good for words 😭😭

I LITERALLY recommended that to my friend yesterday. It's a great fic!

#ask #400k words is insane tho #stupid beautiful writing

Do you have any other ships in Naruto?

I'm what I like to call a fairweather shipper. I don't actually have a single ship I stan because I stan ALL of them. Literally any ship you can think of, I'm down- It just depends on what mood I'm in...what flavor of ship I'm craving.

the tldr of me, consuming ANY media is: "If they exist, I ship them."

But my current mood is: Old man getting folded like laundry.

#ask #it would be easier to count the things I DONT read on A03 #its a hilariously small list lmao #crackships dont exist for me #my thirsty has NO bound #if these characters even BREATHE on the same planet I'm shipping them #honestly they don't even have to be on the same planet #crossover ships? sign me up

Hi! I really like the way you handled Ino and Sakura's reunion. Its nice to see Ino not forgive her, because really, she doesn't have to. Straight away or at all. I feel like a lot of people are forgiven straight away in fanfictions, media or real life, or its expected of them, and I like that this isn't the case. In the same breath, I do understand Sakura's reasonings, but she deserved that entire slap. Thank you for sharing!

Tysm!! And I agree! I'm a big fan of consequences of actions- and Sakura (in my au) is absolutely guilty of quite a few actions that need some heavy consequences. And Ino might forgive her, but she's going to need time and space to figure out whether she wants to reignite any sort of relationship with someone who was willing to let her think she was dead for four years.

Ultimately, I understand why they do that in anime (especially in an action-oriented shounen) but I do enjoy exploring these character's narratives in a separate space and it's always really fun imagining how these interactions will go!

And thank you so much for hanging out in Naruto brainrot land with me!

Some reunions, like Naruto and Lee, are filled with happy hugs and warm welcomes.

Others...not so much.

Ino and Sakura's reunion...yeah it doesn't go great.

Sakura had been invited back into her mother's estranged family after her accident, but on the way through Tea Country, the caravan had been attacked by bandits/dissidents and Sakura ended up jumping into a river to save herself.

Her body was never found, and she was considered dead. She has an empty grave right beside her mother's and father's in Konoha.

Ino, Naruto and Lee were devastated. Ino, in particular, was inconsolable. She'd just made up with her friend and they'd been struggling to find footing after Sakura's accident, so to get the news of her death crushed Ino.

She'd felt so guilty, fighting over stupid things like boys, all the dumb insults they'd leveled at each other, and her helplessness at Sakura's condition ate at her for a long time. Ino threw herself into the job and she left flowers at Sakura's grave every Sunday for a year (and her parents did it for her when she was on missions) before finally beginning to heal.

To learn that Sakura was alive the entire time, that she didn't care enough to send Ino a single letter...that she just let Ino go through all that heart-wrenching grief is a betrayal that Ino can't suffer. It's like having that wound, only just now scarring over, be torn open and salted.

She spent a year mired in grief, and the next three trying to mend the hole Sakura's death left in her life. And to have all of that history, friendship and grief disrespected... Ino doesn't talk to Sakura for almost 7 months.

As for Sakura, she was in such a depression after her accident, she managed to convince herself that she didn't matter to any of her old friends (especially because it was so awkward and difficult to find common footing with everyone after being honorably discharged). So she made the mistake of assuming no one cared, almost as a method of protecting herself from the consequences of her own decisions.

This bites her in the ass, ofc.

Eventually, they enter a 'cold but civil' relationship when Sakura makes a sincere, heartfelt (and groveling) apology. After that, the walls come down, but their friendship won't ever take the same form as it did before, but maybe that's for the better.

Their new friendship is much stronger.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone for all the amazing asks and the incredibly kind words about this AU!

Chapter 3 of Run with the Hares (Hunt with the Hounds)! --- In which Sakura tracks Kakashi down for a physical! ---

The Snippet:

They’ve been doing this song and dance for over a decade, but seeing the stark passage of time in the delicate crow’s feet lining his eyes or the tiny grey hairs that crop up in his eyebrows is still strange. Stranger still is the unease threading her body as she leans into his space.

Sakura tries not to let it show, to break the tension that irons her spine and put aside the feeling that she’s staring at a complete stranger—a totally different Kakashi in the sunlight, whose gaze is warm, and fond, and friendly. Nothing at all like the same man who forced Hound to draw her sword and meet him on equal ground, ready to bite Sakura’s head off the instant she faltered. The difference is sobering.
