Things I like and things I hate... Eh, I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future... I've never really thought about it. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies. (That's a Naruto reference. It means I'm being purposefully elusive about myself and am diverting your attention by throwing out a cool reference.)

My Stories:

Flourish: "Everyone can draw," he insisted, "if they practice enough." SaiSaku. Oneshot. T for swearing. Dedicated to yuugiri. Complete.

Duty Bound: If Sakura had learned anything since she joined ANBU two years ago, it was this: duty is not collective, it is personal. Furthermore, she who defines duty for herself is her own master. When one enigmatic buntaichō manages to shake her beliefs, how will she cope with her ideals being thrown in the dirt? AU. ANBU!fic. {GaaSaku} Ongoing.

Gourd Drabbles: A series of unrelated drabbles that shows the everyday life of our favorite Kazekage as he deals with various challenges in the forms of friends, family, and tedium. Written from Gaara's POV, in first person. Includes humor, friendship, drama, maybe angst, etc. I might throw in some GaaSaku, if I feel so inclined. Maybe a teensy bit OOC, but it's more fun that way. M for language. Ongoing.

Bitter Virgin: Uzumaki Naruto is a ladies man of his small town high school and has his eye on almost every girl, except for one. Hyuuga Hinata isn't his type, but when he overhears a dark secret of hers, he finds himself thinking of her more and more. Drama, psychological, romance, school life, tragedy. Dark-fic. M for language and mention of rape. NaruHina. Based off the manga "Bitter Virgin". Ongoing.

The Ties That Bind: Trees do not belong in the desert, furthermore not sakura trees, but one somehow managed to dig its roots into the sand, forging a bond not so easily broken. Perhaps it was a miracle that something so delicate survived in a place so desolate. These things were not meant to come into fruition, that much I knew. Yet we were connected in a way that no one had ever imagined. {GaaSaku} Ongoing.

Salacious Syndrome: When Uchiha Sasuke stepped forth from the dark corner of her bedroom, Sakura did the thing she had been waiting to do for so long... "Sakura... Long time, no-" His words were abruptly cut off when Sakura's fist met his face, and he stumbled backwards. 'Did Sakura just... Hit me in the face...' In which Sasuke has a condition only Sakura can cure, and hilarity ensues. M for lemon. Complete.

Of Tongues, Lips, and Fingertips: "No, I won't say it." Gaara's eyes narrowed in displeasure. Those were not the words he wanted. 'If she won't say what I want', Gaara thought darkly, 'then I won't give her what she wants.' In which Sakura eludes and Gaara pursues, seducing the long, sought-after words right out of her pretty, little mouth. One-shot lemon. Consider it a "Falling Inside The Black" tangent of sorts. Complete.

Deliverance: Sasuke wanted a matriarch but, more importantly, he wanted her. Sakura only wanted him to come back home, but at what price? Nine years have passed since his desertion and he still hasn't reached either of his two goals; when he comes across her purely by chance he decides to remedy this fact. A harsh life lesson is learned: where there is life, there is also death. Ongoing.

Falling Inside The Black: Suna is at war with Konoha, and the elders are at fault. Gaara must conquer or be conquered. A certain pink haired kunoichi is also on his mind... But the last time he saw her she ran out in tears, only to disappear from the ninja world entirely. Little does Gaara know, she has a little secret kept from him... A secret she'll keep hidden from him at all costs. GaaSaku - with lemon. Complete.

Kenbosho: Iwa and Konoha are on the brink of war and Team Seven, save for Sakura, is sent on an undercover S-rank mission deep in the heart of enemy territory. Kakashi leaves his beloved, pink-haired fiancee because it's his duty. Sakura stays in Konoha at the hospital and six months later, without hearing a single word from them, Team Seven returns in critical condition. On hiatus/revision.

I roam through the packed city,
over gay April waters,
I'm revoltingly erratic
and unforgivably young.
I fight my way onto trolleys,
I get carried away in lies,
and I run like mad,
never catching up with myself.
I marvel at the big-hipped barges,
at airplanes
at my own verses.
I am given a great treasure
and no one explains its purpose.
-1933

How can I keep you? How can I preserve you,

so you would remain young and painfully dear?

I'll try to lock you up forever in a cage of a poem together

...with silence. -Antilope

My mother was dead for much of my childhood. Sometimes it was for just an afternoon, lying underfoot in the kitchen. We'd prop her up at the table, or in a closet. Sometimes it stretched into weeks, until she began to smell and we buried her in the garden, my sister and I tugging her body on my little red wagon. Father suggested the woods, or a nice cremation, her ashes seasoning the sea. But I insisted she would be more comfortable in the backyard. Sister got quite good at funeral oration, stuffed animals and plastic action figures as mourners while father watched like a moon from the upstairs window. After a while mother got tired of being dead. She would pick herself up off the floor, or brush off the dirt from the garden and come inside smelling like ditchwater. I'd find muddy footprints on the kitchen floor, and mother cooking beef stew with lots of onions. After dinner she'd grab me and tickle me and swing me up and up until I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. But in a month or two she would be dead again, wearing her gown of dirt. After the divorce she planned to liven up, said she'd learn canasta and take up zydeco. Instead she mouldered in front of the TV, her only exercise the phone calls reciting her troubles like a script. It was all my father, she said, he drowned her in the toilet, left a cobra in her jewelry box. And now, now my sister insists mother is dead. The telephone's been quiet as a coffin, and last year sister bought a headstone, but I say, any moment she'll open her eyes, spit out the worms, and shake off the earth once more. C. W. Johnson, "Vigor Mortis"
