AO3 works pageWhy this must be read: An endearing story about irritated Shikamaru trying to figure out the motives of the ever-silent Shino. This is the first crack pairing I ever read for Naruto, years ago, and I was pleased to find it enjoyable and well-written! Imagine my delight to find it posted to AO3 in recent months. ^^ [set pre-Shippuuden, no spoilers]
