12:00 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 1
Series: Naruto
Characters: Sandsibs, Lee, Naruto
Pairing: none yet, possible Gaara/Lee if I write more
Type: highschool AU
Warnings: Gaara wears eyeliner
Spoilers: canon is very vaguely mirrored
Word Count: 680
Etc: This came out of nowhere, and it's late enough I may decide this is absolutely atrocious later. It's even in present tense, which is weird. There should be a second part eventually.

12:12 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 2
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: none yet, possible Gaara/Lee if I write more
Type: highschool AU
Warnings: Gaara wears eyeliner
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 780
Etc: I'm not sure why I keep writing this, but...here it is. And apparently there's more lurking in my head somewhere, it's just less defined.

12:22 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 3
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee, the rest of their age group
Pairing: the Gaara+Lee is growing, brief TemarixShikamaru
Type: highschool AU
Warnings: Gaara wears eyeliner
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 620
Etc: Gah, it keeps growing! There's at least one more part after this. Lots of summary but for whatever reason I don't hate it too much.

01:27 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 5
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee, the rest of their age group
Pairing: Lee/Gaara
Type: highschool AU, romance, humor
Warnings: briefly mentioned implied sex
Spoilers: mirrors the Sasuke retrieval arc
Word Count: 500
Etc: Slapped on a half-assed title and made a half-assed ending. Ugh, I really need to work on my writing. I should probably be hit for the title.

01:31 pm - Naruto - Changing Winds
Series: Naruto
Characters: Naruto, Iruka
Pairing: none
Type: pre-highschool AU, humor
Warnings: none
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 240
Etc: Naruto suddenly came up, kicked me, and said “I’m the main character, you dumb bitch. Write about me!” Since he had ideas prepared, I wasn’t about to complain. Part of that same real world AU as Run with the Wind, so I'm lumping them together. The title is kinda random because I was out of ideas.

01:33 pm - Naruto - Blow out the Candles
Series: Naruto
Characters: ensemble
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: highschool AU, humor
Warnings: mentions of sex/sexual things, teens being teens
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 230
Etc: Timeline-wise, Lee's birthday is somewhere in the middle of RwtW part 5 (November). Gaara's nearly coincides with the end of part 5 (January). I'm not sure how well I managed to pull off the humor. This is thanks to [info]smallredfox, because she's so good at traumatizing me . CURSE YOU, KAREN!

01:41 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 6
Series: Naruto
Characters: Sandsibs, Lee, Inuzukas
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: highschool AU, angst
Warnings: family problems, bad writing
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 330
Etc: I'm afraid I'm slipping towards cliche here, I may delete this part. Also considering a new title for the later sections.

01:43 pm - Naruto - Unexpected 3 (Confession)
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: romance, angst
Warnings: long-winded poorly written introspection
Spoilers: timeskip
Word Count: 2390
Etc: I am a posting fiend. After a re-read I figured this is ready enough for other people to see. I also spent way too much time looking at sites on Victorian flower language for this, and I didn't bother to check on climates. I also go into honorifics a bit because I'm a dork. I also use repetitive sentence structures and create long-winded notes like this one.

02:17 pm - The Slayers, xxxHolic - Wish You Well
Series: The Slayers, xxxHolic
Characters: Zelgadiss, Yuuko
Pairing: none
Type: humor
Warnings: none
Spoilers: if you don't know who Xelloss is
Word Count: 225
Etc: I can't write Yuuko to save my life, and it's been ages since I've seen Slayers. Hopefully this doesn't suck too bad.

02:31 pm - Naruto - Blown Away
Series: Naruto
Characters: Lee, Gaara
Pairing: Lee/Gaara
Type: au, fluff
Warnings: your teeth may rot
Spoilers: none
Word Count:145
Etc: I decided to expand on how highschool AU Gaara would get his signature tattoo/scar. This takes place when they're in college. The title seems rather cheesy. This is about as fluffy as it gets with this pairing.

Series: Naruto
Characters: Lee, Gaara
Pairing: Lee/Gaara
Type: au, fluff
Warnings: your teeth may rot again
Spoilers: none
Word Count:110
Etc: Follow-up to the last bit of fluff, though I don't like it quite as much. If I write more of this I'll get cavities.

02:57 pm - Naruto - Unexpected 4 (Rumors)
Series: Naruto
Characters: ensemble
Pairing: Lee/Gaara, various others implied
Type: humor, romance
Warnings: some language
Spoilers: timeskip
Word Count: 3268 (WTF?)
Etc: This covers a fair span of time, I try to indicate that. Fivehead is an insult that came up within my group of friends regarding somebody with a rather large forehead, I figured it fit here. Not sure if there'll be a 5th part covering the time after the confession or not. I'm half-asleep so I'll probably be making corrections later. Not sure how I like this. [Talk about tag overkill.]

03:23 pm - Naruto - You Suck
Series: Naruto
Characters: Sakura, Sai, Naruto
Pairing: SasuSakuNaruSai ;>.>
Type: humor, highschool AU
Warnings: language, sex, OOC *wince*
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 190
Etc: I should be shot for this. The title is horrible, but kinda sorta works with the wind theme (and it's better than Blow Me.) I'm unsure about how AU Sakura and Sai would act, so it's just terrible. Mildly amusing, but terrible.

03:25 pm - Naruto - Blow out the Candles 2
Series: Naruto
Characters: ensemble
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: college AU, humor
Warnings: alcohol
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 255
Etc: More silly college stuff. I keep slipping between American and Japanese culture, so it's getting rather inconsistant. 2000 yen is roughly $20. I really should be nicer to poor Neji.

Edit: Fixed age discrepency, so a few details changed.

03:28 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 7
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: highschool AU, angst
Warnings: kinda creepy
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 250
Etc: This tried to become fluff, I killed that dead. I'm leaving what happened with Yashamaru up to the imagination. Obviously it couldn't be the same, but it was still not good for Gaara's psyche. I may write another section before this chronologically. If I do, the number will change accordingly.

03:33 pm - Avatar - Reaction
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Characters: Gaang, Fire Lord family
Pairing: none (unless you want to see Zuko/Aang?)
Type: deathfic, angst, futurefic
Warnings: character deaths, melodrama
Spoilers: up to season 2 finale
Word Count: 250
Etc: Ugh, talk about gratuitous angst! Very dissatisfied with this. Maybe I'll write another that'll suck less.

03:38 pm - Run with the Wind 9
Series: Naruto
Characters: ensemble
Pairing: Gaara/Lee, various
Type: hs au
Warnings: none
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 585
Etc: Dissatisfied with this, but it's at least mildly amusing, and beats having a break in the fic. Maybe, one day, I'll write something I like and that has a point. I play fast and loose with pairings because I'll try almost anything outside my OTP.

03:51 pm - Naruto - Run with the Wind 10
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: hs AU, romance, fluff
Warnings: oh noes, the word "sex" is in there!
Spoilers: mirrors the timeskip
Word Count: 350
Etc: So much fluff! Blech. This is the last of RwtW, but I may write more when they're in college. I hope I wasn't too hokey incorporating canon this time.

04:10 pm - Naruto - Windy Days
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara/Lee
Type: college AU, fluff, slice of life
Warnings: gratuitous kitty insertation
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 725
Etc: I love cats, it shows, and I wrote a fluff piece about them. Should I decide to write more college fluff along a line, it'll have this title. Hyoutan = Gourd, Seigi = justice, Hisago = alternate name reading for "hyou." Not sure how I like it, and it was kinda hard to write.

Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara+Lee
Type: romance, dark
Warnings: mildly creepy, bad writing.
Spoilers: Sasuke Retrieval arc
Word Count: 620
Etc: After hearing this clip from the Naruto radio show, I felt compelled to try to write something. It's very rough and I don't really like it, but nothing is coming as for ways to improve it.

04:24 pm - Naruto - The Glassblower
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, OFC
Pairing: none
Type: gen
Warnings: boring as fuck
Spoilers: Timeskip Gaara arc
Word Count: 1200
Etc: I had this idea a while ago, but it never seemed to go anywhere. It still doesn't go anywhere, but I slapped on an ending. I can't quite see this happening in canon, but it's not different enough to be an AU. Oh, and my writing and title suck, as usual. So sleepy.

04:38 pm - Naruto - Two Trees
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Lee
Pairing: Gaara+Lee
Type: missing scene, preslash, fluff
Warnings: none
Spoilers: Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Word Count: 1460
Etc: I have another version of this that I may finish up and post one day. And all mistakes are blamed on my tipsiness, though most was written before today. Poor canon, I've been neglecting you!

04:41 pm - Naruto - Dying Dream
Series: Naruto
Characters: Naruto, Lee, ensemble
Pairing: nothing but canon implied
Type: futurefic, angst
Warnings: character death, bad writing
Spoilers: Sasuke Retrieval Arc, Akatsuki
Word Count: 250
Etc: The asterisk marks where I originally thought of ending it. I'm not sure how much I like this, it feels...bleh. Oh well. Kinda sorta part of the "What if ____ became the Hokage" series. Edit: I shortened this and like it a lot better now.

04:47 pm - Naruto - Good Night's Sleep
Series: Naruto
Characters: Sandsibs, Lee, Naruto
Pairing: incipient Gaara+Lee
Type: fluff-ish, preslash
Warnings: none
Spoilers: Rescue Gaara Arc
Word Count: 780
Etc: I tried doing one of the prompts for the [info]leegaara love list, but I'm not sure I like how it turned out, so I may not say anything. It's also a bit too similar to a scene in something I'm working on, and I'm afraid having both will be redundant. Oh well.

04:51 pm - Naruto - Family
Series: Naruto
Characters: ensemble
Pairing: none
Type: general, angst
Warnings: none
Spoilers: Sai's past
Word Count: 280
Etc: I don't like how this turned out, but it's helping me work through the writer's block. I wish it had more emotional impact, or something. This came about when I noticed that despite all these mentor/student relationships that border on surrogate parenting, they rarely/never say anything about it. Edit: I forgot about the comment regarding Iruka during Sasuke fight. Oh well, maybe I'll work it in later.

Series: Naruto
Characters: Team 7
Pairing: none
Type: random idea expansion
Warnings: dull, bad writing
Spoilers: not a one, as this takes place waaaaay back when they were stuck on D-ranked missions
Word Count: 430
Etc: I explain a bit after the fic...Just another silly, poorly executed idea.

04:58 pm - Naruto - Girls Don't Cry
Series: Naruto
Characters: Team Guy
Pairing: Neji+Tenten, though it's overlookable.
Type: futurefic, angst
Warnings: character deaths
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 465
Etc: Sheesh, it's like a requirement somebody dies for almost every one of these Hokage drabbles! I can't write Neji to save my life, and Tenten is such a little-covered character I have no idea if I got her right. Pulled the title out of my ass, I may change it. Also tempted to tweak the ending a bit, because I kinda like it ending on Neji's last line.

05:07 pm - Naruto - Undeserved
Series: Naruto
Characters: Lee, Sakura, Team Gai cameo
Pairing: Lee+Sakura, overtones of Sakura+Sasuke[+Naruto]
Type: breakup fic, angst
Warnings: aaaaaaaangst, attempts at imagery
Spoilers: timeskip
Word Count: 465
Etc: I used to like LeeSaku, but I fell out of love. I wrote a breakup fic to try to get into why I think it wouldn't work out. As I'm posting this in a rush right before work, it may get some tidying up later for things like blatant misuse of tenses. And a title. It's rough and could probably use some rearranging of sentences. Ah well, no time now. Slapped on a title.

05:11 pm - Naruto - Cyclical
Series: Naruto
Characters: Team 7, Jiraiya
Pairing: Nothing overt
Type: death fic, angst, potential future
Warnings: I'm terrible with main characters, some language and gore
Spoilers: Sasuke retrieval arc
Word Count: 595
Etc: This is lacking something, but I'm fond of the idea and wanted to get it out there. This might've been done before, but as I don't read much fanfic for Naruto I have no idea. Hopefully I didn't fudge the characterization too badly. Perhaps I should add more to it, a drabble might be too little. Gaaah, rambling. Have the "History repeating Sharingan" fic.

05:13 pm - Naruto - Ripples
Series: Naruto
Characters: Naruto, Sakura, ensemble.
Pairing: NaruSaku, unrequited others involving those two.
Type: angst, get-together, futurefic
Warnings: depressing, unfinished, character death
Spoilers: Sasuke retrieval arc
Word Count: 446
Etc: I've tried several times to get this to have some kind of conclusion, to no avail. So I'm posting what there is and hoping it'll come to me eventually. Multiple pairings in the fic, as it's focused on the reaction of their peers to Naruto and Sakura hooking up and I decided to include more than just canon. I tried to be fancy with the structure, not sure how well that worked out.

05:16 pm - Naruto - Windy Days 2
Series: Naruto
Characters: Gaara
Pairing: GaaLee
Type: college AU, slice of life
Warnings: It's exceptionally dull.
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 330
Etc: I finished this up because attempting to write something long with plot is like pulling teeth. Sadly, it sucks, because writing Gaara is damn difficult...and the reason I was taking so long on the plotty fic in the first place. Go figure. Still, this had a point I felt I needed to include, even if the manner it's brought about sucks. It also proves this series isn't quite dead yet.

05:18 pm - Naruto - Fragments 1
Series: Naruto
Characters: Lee, Gaara (sorta)
Pairing: nothing yet, probably LeeGaa
Type: weird introspective, futurefic, mild crazy
Warnings: Some nasty things as survival is never pretty
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 1,237
Etc:This idea hit me just as I was falling asleep last night. Though the idea is cliche I'm hoping I can take it somewhere interesting. So much for working on any of my existing WiPs, heh. There will be at least one more part to this, and I might revise this a bit, as parts feel...weird, and not in the way I was intending. It is, however, rather confusing on purpose.

05:20 pm - Naruto - Fragments 2
Series: Naruto
Characters: Lee, Gaara
Pairing: Implied past Lee+Sakura, LeexGaara if I can manage it in the future
Type: weird introspective, futurefic, crazy, possible plot
Warnings: Abuse of italics. Like woah
Spoilers: Timeskip
Word Count: 1,826
Etc: I have the next part partially planned out, but beyond that I'm not sure where this is going, or if I should keep writing it. It's very weird, but hopefully this part makes more sense and stays interesting. Thoughts on Lee's characterization would be much appreciated, or on the style, as they're both not quite what I usually do.

Pairing: Implied Sasuke+Naruto
Type: angst

Etc: It's missing something necessary to make it not suck, but here it is anyway. Not connected to the other fic with this title in any way but theme. Since I might do more, it gets a tag.

05:36 pm - Naruto - Secondary Kisses
Series: Naruto
Characters: Tenten, Kankurou
Pairing: TentenxKankurou, LeexGaara background.
Type: crack
Warnings: rough, very silly. Alcohol and kissing
Spoilers: very vague Sasuke retrieval arc
Word Count: 645
Etc: Written since [info]everysecondtues seemed so keen on it. It was going to be part of a larger work, but it turned out far too goofy. I should probably make a crack tag. So many cliches in this fic, but it's still mildly funny, I suppose.
