Naruto Fanfiction // Rhythm & Bruise: Gaara's Story // Main Story Entry
Title: Rhythm & Bruise: Gaara's Story
Series: Monoshizukanohi//Naruto AU
Author: Darkprism
Genre: Drama/Romance/Kink
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Main pairing is Kiba/Gaara. Many, many other pairings. Almost everyone in the Naru-verse is here in some capacity or another.
Word Count: Ongoing
Warnings/Notes: Dark fiction. Bloodplay, angst, violence, abuse, gangs, D/s, bondage, impact play, other.
Spoilers: None whatsoever.
Summary: The streets of Monoshizukanohi are not kind to youth, and Gaara is no exception. After running away from an abusive home, Gaara struggles to find meaning in life through violence, drugs, and anything he can manage to survive. Join Gaara and a wide cast of characters as they go from the streets to the top of the social strata. It's rags to riches, despair to hope, loneliness to love, and everything in between.
Beneath the tangled, darkened streets of Monoshizukanohi, a river of sin flows wide and deep. Its waters fill cups, baths, and showers; homes, gardens, and the thumping halls of clubs Bliss and Break. Sin is a side dish at Tobi’s, served hot after dessert, and it’s Kakashi’s special recipe at his bar, Glow. Drink at your own risk.
No one is left unscathed by the rivers’ taint. And sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes it’s brutal…
But it’s always exactly what you need.
The entire cast of beloved Naruto characters is here - eager to make your re-acquaintance. Come one, come all...but beware: on these streets, everything bites.
Where oh where do our beloved people play?
How do they dance? I wanna watch them sway.
A breeze to the music, a sigh in the dark;
There’s blood on the mattress, and skin covered in marks.
Hear a hushed promise, and now a pretty little plea,
“I need more, must have it, oh gods, pick me...”
And here the answer’s always yes, my angel-sweet
In wicked, dirty
Monoshizukanohi.
