Likes:
• actually, my biggest want right now are fic recs and book recs. I'm watching naruto shippuden for the first time in my life, as a result of some kakairu fic I happened across so uhhh, if you have any naruto fic recs that don't require heavy background knowledge because I'm probably still missing most of that? that would be appreciated.
• honestly you could probably also link me to romshuu fanart and it'd probably be fanart that I've seen before but I'll still appreciate the hell out of it.
• also (veg-friendly) recipes! especially ones that don't take very long because I only have a cooking attention span of half an hour.
• I also like dragons. I feel it's important to mention that.

In terms of fan content, I like:
• fake relationships
• mutual pining
• angst with a happy ending
• casual gestures of affection in established or developing relationships
• magic, of any sort
• dragons
• robots
• characters disliking each other at first and slowly warming to each other and falling for each other

Dislikes: character death, noncon/dubcon

Anything else:



Reminder that NOTES are welcome too - just a nice little comment (either plain, or you can even type it up on a nice little graphic/image etc.) for the recipient.


(Comments are going to screened until the reveal on Mar 15. Lockers will be open until the end of March.)

naruto fic rec

i feel like i'm obliged to recommend this fic! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7347955/1/Dreaming-of-Sunshine

"Dreaming of Sunshine" by Silver Queen!

it is self-insert reincarnation (as shikamaru's AU-twin sister), and it does start slowly, but boy does it improve from its already solid base. the scope now is frankly epic! and it features LOTS of shikamaru and nara sibs bonding. it doesn't fridge sakura either, and it portrays the supporting characters of that generation with lots of love.

another thing is that it does recap the entire Naruto series, although with the ripple effect of Shikako's actions. so some things from canon do change! but the beginning is pretty much a recap of the original series except with Shikako, so it's actually a good way to re-experience the story in my opinion lol.

i'm gonna leave u with this comment where i totally went off about it in a fic rec post 2 or so years ago, because i haven't had time to read it recently (and it's still ongoing/updating regularly! gosh the author is so cool) and have forgotten a lot of it ;;

"I can’t overstate my love and admiration for this fic enough. It is currently my favourite fanfic (and I have just looked through my entire favourites list on FFN and AO3 Bookmarks). It takes a much-maligned genre/trope, self-insert reincarnation, and makes it into a story that is compulsively readable and wholly believable. The self-insert character is not a Mary-Sue in any way and grows with the story, and the bits of memories she has from her past life in “the real world” / our world only creates another common point for readers to relate to the Naruto world even more (in my personal opinion anyway). The reincarnation angle also allows for the exploration of the events of the early Naruto timeline (from Naruto’s - or to be more precise, from Shikamaru’s infancy and beyond) to be explored from a more mature point of view. This follows the series of Naruto, so if, like me, it’s been a while since you read or watched it, it’s a great way to relive it with a twist. It also makes the fillers really interesting and actually engaging and anything that can do that gets a complete A+ in my book.
Special draws: Shikamaru as a brother, dissection/analysis of Naruto fighting and technique mechanics, droll humour"

i hope u have a good day!!!!!
