Hello, and Welcome! If you've just stumbled onto my journal, chances are your here for the fanfiction. You can now find it all below for you in a handy-dandy master list! Also below is a list of links and short cuts. I also use my livejournal to talk about things I read and watch.
Naruto
A Rose Bloomed 'Verse
Stories focussed on Ino and Shikamaru as they grow. Expect various pairings, including hints of Shika/Ino and lots of Shikaku/Yoshino, but its mostly a gen series.
Flowers for No One Getting yellow roses signified the ending of an affair or relationship. They also meant friendship. The irony was not lost on Ino, who knew how roses bloomed. The first in a series of stories looking at Shikamaru and Ino as they grow up.
Tracing the Scarring Face While living with Naras during her father's long-term mission, a young Ino finds similarities between Shikamaru and his scar-faced father. Follows Flowers for No One. Shikamaru and Ino are both four or five in this, not yet in school.
Picture This He never smiled in pictures, and hadn’t meant to in this one either. A little blonde girl made him do it. Follows Tracing the Scarring Face. Shikamaru and Ino are five here, starting the Shinobi equivalent of kindergarten. For more information on Yoshino's background, look here.
Something Ugly like Goodbyes Everybody makes mistakes sometimes. Shikaku reflects on his son's and on his friend's. Nobody said being a parent was easy. Follows Picture This and Shikamaru and Ino would be about six here.
Blue As Friendship is Tricky. Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji have a misadventure as children. Follows Something Ugly like Goodbyes. The gang is about 7 here.

Same Kind of Different Shikamaru and Chouji meet Ino's new friend, Sakura. Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino and Sakura walk home. Our characters are around nine. Follows These Memories Beneath my Ribs
Try And, because tragic irony defined Inoichi's life, the night before she became a genin, his daughter decided to turn into a full-fledged, hormonal teenager. Follows Same Kind of Different. Takes place the night the manga starts, putting our gang at 11 or 12.
A Rose Blooms- Getting Getting yellow roses signified the ending of an affair or relationship. They also meant friendship. The irony was not lost on Ino, who knew what Uchiha Sasuke had done. Team Ten is 12 or 13 here.
Gifts- What you give is what you receive: a visit to Chouji's hospital room. Team Ten is 12 or 13.
Every Thought a Memory- We remember things imperfectly. But not her; never her. Shikamaru gets a mission. Ino gets a mission too. Team ten is 13 or 14 here.

Wait (I've Been Here Before, I Think) Every visit goes something like this... Companion piece to Evidence of What You Cannot See (Repeated Ten Times).
