Recs: Naruto! Mind-numbingly beautiful Naruto!
Since I feel about as confident in myself as an adult does in the permanence of a sandcastle built upon the moats of an ocean*, it's a great time for recs! And to acknowledge that I will never enter an active fandom, ever! 8D
Naruto recs
Telephone: Kaka/Iru, but the genius is in Team 7.
White Wedding: Gaara/Naruto, with much Kaka/Iru hilarity. Both by rageprufrock.
I'm sure I don't need to sing rageprufrock's praises, but read these two fics. They'll pick your day up, shake them up, and leave you with a huge, ridiculous smile on your face afterwards.
In Bond and Blood by thehoyden
I'd just rec everything by thehoyden, but this one is a nice, meaty read that errs on just the right side of light-hearted and the left side of thoughtful to make me a happy pile of contented K.
[edit:] Spies Like Us = equally amazing and heartbreaky awesome-y mmmm yay.
We Might As Well Dance by megyal
One wonderful thing about animes like Naruto is that they seem to produce the crackiest, most wonderfully apt AUs. Kakashi's dogs, Iruka-the-vet, just add water.
Then there's An inestimable blessing, where there's Yamato and Iruka and Kakashi mpreg and eternal laughter and lines that I could quote 400 times.
[edit:] appending a bunch more:
What Isn't Broken (Can Still Be Fixed) by edenfalling
Truly good Sasuke rehabilitation stuff. A remix.
Advantage: Us by sirona. I know that I'm not the only one who grew up on Prince of Tennis crack. This is like the bestest ever combination of tennis and ninjas. TENNIS NINJAS.
