Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤

I did it once so the first batch is here! But I can surely do five more.

1. Spit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38992998

A post-Chuunin Exam fic of the Sand Siblings trying to live together in a tad bit more harmony and less murder than before. Once again, I love fics that explore the dysfunctions in the Sand Siblings and how they can be genuinely bad to each other, especially early on, even when they are trying to be good. Also loved exploring how autistic Gaara would use his sand as a sensory tool/protection.

2. Anything Is Better: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39333273

My first (and for now only) Baki/Yuura fic. Also it's smut. Sad smut. I love them. Much closeted men, much internalised homophobia. I've been wanting to write a fic centred more around Baki and his relationship to queerness and all for a long long time and I haven't gotten to it yet. But it will happen! For the record, this belongs to my Worldbuilding canonverse (with all the KankuShino, and with Silhouettes!)

3. The Best Thing: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44161606

Happier smut! This is my KankuOmoi fic in the KankuShika modern AU. It's a little spin-off of Kankurou's first time and coincidental discovery of his queerness. (Men are hot, who knew!) It's been very soft writing about young adults sharing this moment of tender awkwardness and I'm very happy with the result.

4. My Cigarette Burn my Finger 'Cause I Forgot I Lit It: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39983637/

This is from the same modern AU as The Best Thing and Before a Doll. KankuShika "meeting the parents" fic, except they're not dating yet. Mortifying position to be in, but very funny for us. This is also what triggered the current writing of Haemorrhage since it starts tackling Kankurou's history of addiction and the evolution of his relationship with his siblings.

5. From the Day I Decided to Carry You: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36113848

I will admit the porn-to-plot ratio of that one is a bit weird but it just- it happened like that haha. It's a KakaGai fic about Gai cutting and caring for Kakashi's hair. An exploration of vulnerability and self-care with some dysphoria sprinkled on top. It happens post-Land of Wave arc, and there is also a discussion of Kakashi's feelings regarding having his team, having killed Haku, etc... I found it frustrating that we've gotten so little of Kakashi's reaction to these events because I can't imagine how fucking traumatic and triggering Haku doing the exact thing Rin did must have been. (Not to mention, you know, the fact that he murdered a kid in front of kids?) So I wrote about it. But they also fuck in the middle. That's the fic.

✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?

fic ask game

I have a few fics I wrote all in one go, I'm pretty sure Dancing on Glass (Ino & Kankurou modern AU friendship) is one of them, with Anything Is Better (BakiYuura sad smut), and Scorched (KankuKiba hurt/comfort smut)? Maybe others haha.

The plot and entire structure of Take Your Heart Above the Water (Blank Period NaruHina/SasuNaru) appeared to me in one block as I was complaining to my boyfriend about the lack of nh/sns content out there haha. It took me a little while to write it, but nothing really changed from the start, it was a pretty smooth journey too! Somehow no one cares about this fic but I like it a lot. (I'm not complaining, I'm happy I wrote it! I'm just surprised it gets less interaction than much rarer pairs I write.)

For the hard ones...

I started posting Leave a Light On (KankuKiba/KibaShino/ShinoHina polycule) almost two years ago so. Yeah. But it's not so much about the fic I think, it's that I started posting it at a moment when my style and organisation in writing changed a lot, so now I'm sort of stuck with that piece that I want to finish but that is weird and wonky and mismatched with the rest of the things that I'm doing so it's a bit of a struggle haha. But I'll get there eventually!

I talk in the other ask about hard bits in The Smell of the Rain (KankuShino worldbuilding).

The Sand Sib Fic I'm currently working on, Haemorrhage, is being hard on me too. I've been at is for 9 months I think haha. I love it a lot tho. I think it's a bit more plot-heavy in a way than a lot of my fics. There is more movement and discussions that need to go somewhere for the rest to happen. Whereas fics like The Smell of the Rain have a lot of content, but also a number of scenes work on their own enough that they can develop however way they do without messing up the general piece.

Also I'm working on read-along playlist (it's there!) and it's taking me a bunch of research because I've been listening to the same three albums for a decade haha.

Thanks for the ask!
