Kankuro and Temari take Shikamaru out for his first night of drinking. Kankuro wants blackmail material. Temari wants a good buzz. And all Shikamaru really wants is to go home. Fat chance. Friend-fic, mildly ShikaTema.

A moment of impulse leaves Temari with a lifetime of responsibility and a confession to make. A story about women, accepting the paths of life that cannot be avoided. Shikamaru, Temari, and Yoshino-centric. Three-generation Nara

Konan knew she desired this closeness, shared between them like a hidden pact or bond. Like something private and reassuring to her. When Yahiko kissed her, one last time, too hard for her to breathe, it was only confirmed. ::Yahiko/Konan::

Sakura heeds a stern warning to make it clear how she feels about Naruto. Naruto/Sakura.

Shikamaru and Temari are trapped in a hopeless scenario. It doesn't matter how smart Shikamaru is, or how strong Temari is, there's one man that has all the power. And, this time, it may very well be game over.

“Do you know what it’s like to grow up without a father, Sensei?” Shikamaru shook his head. “Well, I do. It isn’t all that great.” In which Shikamaru learns that he is less like Asuma than he once thought. Shikatema oneshot. Rated for language. R&R?

AU. Friendship fic. Ino is a bit drunk & realizes Chouji is always there to take care of her. Warnings: alcohol, minor swearing. Dedicated to the guy-friends who just don't get enough credit. Might continue at some point but for now, one-shot.

Outtake from "Scar Tissue" : Ino tries to act upon her feelings for Choji, with unexpected consequences.

ShikaTema. A homecoming. So much WAFF you may perish.

Sometimes even chores have unexpected benefits.

It was only one night, and she meant to keep it that way. Unfortunately, a puppeteer's strings are not so easily severed. Kankuro x Tenten.

When Gaara discovers Matsuri upset about some things she heard some people at school say, he teaches her how to deal with them - i.e., how to scare them witless. One part fluff, one part angst, and one part introspective. Don't mess with Matsuri.

Good things can happen when you're ill...

Shikamaru, entertain me." If Temari had realized what those three little words would lead to, well, she would have said them a lot sooner.

It's easy to hide behind anger and indifference. It's easy to lie when you're pretending. It's just plain easy to lie. But lying is much harder when your body betrays you and fear invades you.

It doesn't take very much to make Shikamaru happy - just the clouds, the silence and her.

The Nara doth protest too much, methinks. [ShikaTema, lime lime !lemon!]

Honestly, she was inadequate. Pathetic. Uncontrolable. So why, she wondered with murderous intent, was HE the one dubbed 'monster? [GaaMatsu]

Shikamaru's in love with the new girl in school. The bad news is she has a boyfriend, a huge, surly boyfriend who loves to make people miserable. What's a teenage dirtbag to do? Loosely based on the song by the same name.

Late one night, Matsuri and Shukaku have a little heart to heart chat in her apartment. Oneshot.

[InoChou] The original InoShikaChou team takes their kids to the beach and Chouji volunteers to teach Ino how to swim. Total fluff.

After the encounter with Sound Four, Shizune visits her hospitalized teammates and the past finally catches up with her. A Genma x Shizune oneshot fic.

He hasn’t had short hair since he can remember. And now that damn Temari is hacking it off left and right. [ShikamaruTemari, light crack]

[A NaruSaku fic] Naruto and Sakura spend some quality time together, and only Naruto's hairstyle suffers for it.

She's frightened, and yet it's something that she wants so much. Either way, it's happening now, and she isn't going to run. GenmaxShizune
