day 15 → a fanfic

There are a lot of really great writers out there, butcoincident is a relatively new fic writer whose work is, well, amazing. I especially love her because she writes Itachi/Hinata and does it well,.

day 02 → your favorite movie

I adore the perfect romance of You've Got Mail, delight in the artistry and imagination of Howl's Moving Castle, love the art of any number of Disney films, melt over Clark Gable even, wanted to walk into the world of that latest Sherlock Holmes, still gasp over that pivotal reveal moment in The Third Man...but ( Read more... )
