"The Marriage of Summer and Winter: Intentions" - SasuHina (Naruto)

...Wtf, self. Since when have I ever even considered writing something for this pairing before, or been able to justify pairing Sasuke with anyone other than Sakura. Never, that's when. I don't even know whether to place the blame on Kishi, Phase, or myself.

...Oh well.…I am VERY annoyed at Sakura over her behaviour in recent chapters. Think

Thank you! I actually haven't read any SasuHina fic, so I don't know how they're generally portrayed, but this is what felt the most IC to me.

I took some liberties with Hiashi and especially with Hanabi since we see so little of them in the manga. I'm glad you liked my take on them.

Sasuke is actually my favourite to write. (And my favourite in general, tbh. XD) I was hoping that the "motherly" thing wouldn't come across too creepy--he certainly doesn't see Mikoto in Hinata or anything Harry Potter-ish weird like that. Oedipus he is not.

I don't know if I'll write any more of this, since I only planned on it being a one-shot and SasuHina's not really my OTP (though I'm liking it more than I expected to), but if I did, I imagine that they'd end up being fairly happy together. They're both pretty reserved, so she wouldn't be overbearing and he wouldn't embarrass her in front of her family or in public, but I think her gentleness would be good for him, and that he would open up to her at least somewhat after a while.

...I imagine rather a lot of the single females of Konoha would be fairly disappointed. XD

The mother comment was the right amount of creepy. A little like he's longing for his mom but mostly like he thinks she'll be a good mom. Which is, you know, nice, but not the best reason to marry someone.

Naruto and Sakura's reaction would be interesting, as would Neji's but I can see they wouldn't make each other unhappy. Its an interesting pairing for this (very angsty) reason, but I haven't read a lot of the pair, usually because Sasuke is often very OC when I do try them....

Yeah, the "motherly" thing is really more of an undertone. The politics of the match is his primary reason. ...And while I do think he misses his mum, and always sort of will, there's none of that kind of "longing". lol Yikes.

Yes, there would be some interesting reactions there, all right. And most of the SasuHina fanart I've seen has been pretty fluffy, so I can just guess what a lot of the fanfic would be like. :|
