... I know I still have replies to write for the "give me a female character and i'll tell you why I love her" meme, but i'm stalled on them. (is anyone still waiting for a reply anyway? I'm horrible about replies, if it's more than two days later I tend to think "well, surely they've forgotten and it will be weird to reply so late, no one cares anymore" and so more often than not I end up not replying at all. Okay, half of it is my laziness looking for an excuse... then again I don't think I really can reply to *everything*, I might explode a little bit. x__x *actually kind of antisocial irl*)


But anyway.

* Gimme a character/pairing/threesome I've written/fangirled about, and I'll give you a bit of my personal headcanon for them. (their childhood, their secret hobbies, their sex life... haha especially their sex life. /perv)

* Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.
(if asking about teamwork, restore, or some other big 'verse, please try to narrow it down a bit because there are too many choices and I could have no clue where to start. XD; As for crossed wires, please no questions about it.)



¤ Will write a weekly naruto post later. (or maybe not. ehh. Depends on my laziness.) Chapter's up at mangastream, though.

¤ I still owe ten ItaSasu AU snippets, but my itasasu curse has hit again. Half the ideas I have are more brotherly than pairingly, and none of them are solidifying very fast. But they're still on my to-write list at the moment.

How it works, at first, is mostly a "Shikamaru has two girlfriends!", with Ino pretending it's only casual dating so she doesn't care he also dates other girls or feel threatened by Temari specifically, and Temari being more sincere in her "hey, my country comes first so I can't always be around, so I really don't care."

It evolves into Shikamaru watching them snipe and smirk and grump at each other a lot, and being utterly baffled when suddenly they're doing each other's hair or Ino is making Temari do wardrobe tests, only to go back to sniping. One woman is troublesome enough, so two...! But sometimes they kick him out and he goes spend time with Chouji and that's good, because at first Ino got clingy and Temari got sneery "well if you want to spend time with someone else, be my guest!" and he really does need his space, he probably would have ended up dumping them both if that had gone on too long.

Ino doesn't make it official that she's with Shika, and people don't really notice -- she's just the girl teammate who's always around, and since Temari is pretty obvious about going straight to see Shika whenever she's in Konoha, most people don't know Ino's a factor. she's not sure she wants them to know, because she has a lot of insecurities about how permanent this arrangement is. (she can't play shogi at anything like their level, she can't do upper level intelligence work, she doesn't want to look like the interloper or the one who got dumped if it turns bad...) Anyway Ino doesn't let the relationship evolve very far past casual.

Shikamaru lets her, because while he's enjoying himself he can see roadblocks with both women -- he knows Temari will always be a Suna citizen and is too independent to quit and leave her family and village behind just to become his wife, he knows he and Ino might bicker themselves into an old-married-couple-who-hate-each-other ending which is really kind uninspiring...

At some point Temari gets injured badly enough to have to retire from active duty (there's omg she could have DIED! i care more than i thought! realizations) and returns to Suna for months/years, and ino and shika lose a bit of the shiny in their relationship, which becomes very routine and don't-want-to-be-alone and we've-invested-too-much-in-this-to-bother-starting-over-with-someone-else, but then Temari comes back as the official suna ambassador which means she lives in konoha for eight months solid at a time. Then they move in together, and this time, fuck anyone who has something to say about it.


... haha, by the end it was more "story I kinda want to write" than headcanon tidbits. XD;;;; oops?

I know that everyone in Konoha (maybe Suna) would say 'OMG NaruSakuSasu= bad example! Dx' to the last line. XD

But i think it's kinda cute. :P The whole thing of "story you kinda want to write" rather than headcanon. Headcanon for these three seems pretty simple to me anyway. :P
