it was a hell of an epiphany (i like to take credit for being witty but E blows me away most of the time) anyhow, if it's helped you even a little bit you are very welcome.
that excerpt is lovely and I would love to read more
yeah. The Fall was started sept 2004. had the second chapter done but never posted it, but now i've had such a change of direction for that fic that it needs to be reworked. though i may have found a spot to squeeze it into that won't screw with the timeline.
Sasuke may be envied as 'that Uchiha genius' by folks in the village
funny. because by Uchiha standards he was kind of mediocre. he must have really loved being called a genius. *sidenote* y'know Neji's a genius too but i have more respect for him because he does work hard for that title (especially with Gai as a sensei) and it makes me wonder if Kakashi went too easy on Sasuke just because he has natural talent. also, Sasuke is the kind who needs a one-on-one teacher, so its not that he can't work in a team, but he would have been perfect for ANBU.
This. This is profound, and points out also that awesome as Naruto is,
hey. even Jesus had one lousy friend, but even knowing he was going to be betrayed, Judas still had a place at his table. sometimes you really do have to ask yourself to define friendship to know whether or not you are a good one.
wondering, now, about an AU 'verse
started thinking too. know what? even if Itachi had never massacred their clan, and Naruto had been a little less 'see me, dammit', i still think Sasuke would have left. as proper, perfect friends, Sasuke would have seen the village's defenses as too weak to protect Naruto from Akatsuki, and he would have disappeared right after Naruto left for training to find someone to make him strong enough. and after he was that, he would have hunted down Akatsuki two-by-two for their even daring to threaten his bestest friend who accepts him, because that's the kind of person Sasuke is.
N&S are both fighting the ninja system that is too harsh if it could make a Zabuza and Haku or an Itachi. but where Naruto is persuade/change/if it hurts me beat some sense into it; Sasuke is dominate/destroy/if it hurts me hurt it back harder until it ceases breathing.
*Cough* I will totally read whatever you come up with for Sasuke and Suigetsu
*sneeze* great-cause-i-may-need-you-to-proofread-porn. *sniff* and i even drew fan art for them. this is crazy. but you're right. Sasuke made no 'excuse' for why he brought Suigetsu. Suigetsu was like 'deuces' and Sasuke was like, 'wait-a-minute, what do you want?' and then he took him to Zabuza's sword (which was kind of out of the way for the next hideout).
So you don't buy into the standard future-fic premise
hell no. honestly, its a lesson Naruto needs to learn, and secondly Sasuke never fit in with the village in the first place, now he has reason to hate it. and he already remade Team 7 to the best of his ability with Taka (who like him exactly as he is) so there's no real cause for him to return. and i don't think he would have gone back to Konoha after the Itachi fight (i will never say he killed him, because Itachi was dead long before that battle) because he'd been away too long . . . free to do what he wanted too long.
i will say that somewhere during the Danzou fight Sasuke started acting a little less like 'typical' Sasuke, so now i'm curious about what's going on in Kishimoto's head.
this entry
sorry. deployment. though in 2008 i was a hardcore hater and wouldn't have been of much use... Sadieko does make a good point in that Naruto taught Sasuke how to be brave. though everything else is a bit of stretch to me because that wasn't all Naruto's influence -- Sasuke does have inherent (what we would call) 'good' characteristics that draw people to him. if he didn't, he never would have been able to form Taka.
...hm. this AU'verse thing is beginning to take root...
though i may have found a spot to squeeze it into that won't screw with the timeline
That's the challenge, isn't it? Especially when the story is still ongoing.
makes me wonder if Kakashi went too easy on Sasuke
Mmm. *ponders* He very well might have. I mean, Kakashi didn't even want a team to begin with, right? And if Sasuke displayed natural talent and 'ahead of the class'-ness, I can very easily imagine Kakashi's logic being along the lines of 'Great, don't have to do too much with him' especially when Naruto's on the other end of that spectrum. Also, given the whole Obito thing, I wonder if Kakashi wasn't perhaps a bit reluctant to be too involved with a 'reminder', i.e., another Uchiha.
and after he was that, he would have hunted down Akatsuki two-by-two for their even daring to threaten his bestest friend who accepts him, because that's the kind of person Sasuke is
...I...I-I kind of want to read that AU'verse, now. Dammit, what the hell is this? O_o
I will proofread your porn and your non-porn alike. ^_^
*sniff* and i even drew fan art for them. this is crazy
^_^ I know the feeling.
now he has reason to hate it...he'd been away too long . . . free to do what he wanted too long
Exactly.
beginning to take root
*cough* I am reminded. There is a certain function at work that requires me to log in with a username of 'Root'. It makes Inner-TJ giggle every damn time. ^_^;
time: the problem with the timeline is that everything happens so fast that there's no room to just throw in one random mission. cause if you want to write about Naruto X Someone and it doesn't fall before the Gaara arc then you have to wait until after the Sai/Sasuke arc... so pretty much "Episode 57". but as i thought about it, Sai didn't exist in 2004 when i planned it. so, just because i know about him now doesn't necessarily mean he needs to be in The Fall even if he would be really useful considering the nature of the mission. and i've always hated that Naruto didn't really get a chance to get reacquainted with his peers. so.
AU 'verse: yep. we're so calling it "U". i'm sorry. i know its a shock.
Pairings: i felt weird so i went and drew some ShikaChou for normalcy's sake. shall probably do NejiNaru or YamaSai next to keep the creepies away while i willingly write about Sasuke. i'll send the SasuSui (which is just fun to say) your way when i'm done with it. ^_^

Word. And it really is a shame that Naruto just pops in, says 'Hey ___! Hey ___! Oh, and hey to you too ___!' and takes off again on his next Grand Adventure. It would be nice to see him settle a little and interact a bit. It would also lend credence to Gai's assertion in one of my WIPs that Naruto and Neji have been growing closer since Naruto came back. *^_^*
Sooo, do I get to see these drawings when you're done with them? ^_^
but yeah. of course you get to see. when don't i show you my art(if one could call it that)? E said he would teach me how to color when he got home from work (again). which is great cause i suck at it, and i have three sketches that could really use the old E touch. so much art in two days, jeez there are some serious heeby jeebies from talking about Sasuke's penis. and i don't know if that's holdover anger at him or just a really weird aversion to writing porn (when i have no trouble drawing it).
