Normally, I dislike Sasuke fics (...he's not my favorite character ever), but here, I love the unique spin Lilianae has put on the Naruto cast.

Summary: Naruto is slighted by the new DJ, and finds a way to get revenge. Or does he? (It's written in letter format)
!: This is very interesting, which says nothing about tasukigirl's talent in the least. Tasukigirl is definitely one of the god(dess)s of this fandom because to be able to pull off a "length letter fic" is all kinds of difficult. To be able to make it work and to make it so deliciously hot at the same time, well, she certainly has my respect. I won't give anything away here, but I really enjoyed reading this...even though I'm over a year late. orz;;

Anyway, my opinion of this fic is that while the plot and the charm of the fanfic cannot be denied, the writing and grammar needs a complete rework and revision. I couldn't finish reading this fanfic. =/ So...read at your own risk?

Water Displacement by two_if_by_sea. *** COM OS

Normally, I dislike Sasuke fics (...he's not my favorite character ever), but here, I love the unique spin Lilianae has put on the Naruto cast.

To be able to make it work and to make it so deliciously hot at the same time, well, she certainly has my respect.

Anyway, my opinion of this fic is that while the plot and the charm of the fanfic cannot be denied, the writing and grammar needs a complete rework and revision. I couldn't finish reading this fanfic. =/ So...read at your own risk?

Water Displacement by two_if_by_sea. *** COM OS
Summary: Since the author didn't have a summary, I'll take an excerpt from the fic itself to put here. "Sand Country smells of sand and chlorine all the time. The smell hits you like something physical the first time you arrive and then slowly fades into the background until you leave, when you start wondering what it is exactly that you've lost, some important part of your breathing. Then you realize that it's the smell."
