#haruki x sakura

[sashabrawesome89]

I think I know why I love “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas” so much. The dynamic between Haruki and Sakura…literally screamed Niccosasha if Isayama explored it a little bit more.

Here me out.

- Sasha and Sakura both love eating. Especially meat. They have huge appetites and will drag their friends along their food escapades.

- Both Sasha and Sakura have sweet, sunny personalities that win over cold, distant boys (Haruki and Niccolo to be specific).

- They’re willing to do crazy things to help people in need (Sakura kicking the nuts of a guy for harassing the old woman; Sasha saving little Kaya from a Titan, without ODM gear.)

- SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON 4/the movie.

Their deaths are sudden, unpredictable, and frustrating. Sakura battled pancreatic cancer only to be randomly stabbed to death by a serial killer. Sasha fought Titans and survived the battle of Liberio only to be shot to death by a young girl whose life she spared.

Tell me I’m not going nuts over this one. I might even write an AU or make a fake trailer.

Manga:

Sukeban and Transfer Student by Fujichika

Summary: Rinri Kanzaki, a naive and innocent transfer student, couldn't help but want Atsuko Nagumo, a lone-wolf delinquent, to say "cute words" to her! It's a cute and slightly embarrassing 80s-style school comedy between a transfer student x delinquent.

Review: This manga is literally so cute. Both of them are adorable. Their relationship is also very wholesome.

Status: Ongoing

Composing Spring in this Room where Cherry Blossoms Bloom by Tokuwotsumu

Summary: On her first day of university, Haruki had a fateful encounter with Sakura in the lecture hall. They were attracted to each other and lived together after graduation, but suddenly they had to part ways. Sakura had disappeared from this world. Five years have passed since then, and it is the fifth cherry blossom season. Haruki, who was still in a state of grief, happened to find a diary. It was the unfinished diary written by Sakura.

Review: This was so beautifully written. The grief portrayed in this manga was very realistically written. I highly recommend this!

Status: Completed

Manhwa:

Summary: Jeanne, a prostitute at address 74, took care of the fallen Janet. Jeanne wants to be friends with Janet, but Janet tries to get information out of her.

Review: I liked this a lot but I wish the author stuck to writing 13 chapters like they had originally planned because near the end everything felt a bit rushed. However, it's still a good read although I recommend keeping a box of tissues near while reading this tho.

Status: Completed

Summary: Welcome to Greywoods, a beautiful mansion isolated deep in the countryside. Its main inhabitants? Viscount Rose, his daughter Lady Eileen, the housekeeper, the butler, and a new maid, Marie. As Lady Eileen and her newest (and only) companion begin to open up to each other, do their hearts follow close behind? Now, don’t mind any lingering ghosts still haunting the grounds, they’re not real! Nor are there any enduring secrets, deep-rooted betrayals, or an air of mystery... just trust me.

Review: This is an excellent read! Although Eileen and Marie's relationship developed very fast, it didn't feel forced. Their relationship was very smoothly written I'd say. There's also a supporting character, Lynda who was very well written. I do recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading this.

Status: Completed

Summary: Andrew is the only daughter of the famous Grace family. She also has an incurable disease. Due to her family's high status in society, Andrew grew up with no friends save for her maid, Herta, whom she has become intensely infatuated with. Little does she know, her family is responsible for ruining Herta's life. Can Andrew break the hierarchy and be with her? Or will Herta end her suffering first...

Review: The two main leads are well written. The story itself is filled with angst. There are a few issues I have with this but I still liked it a lot. I do recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading this.

Status: Completed

Manhua:

Summary: Qi went to sleep embraced by her girlfriend, Yuanzi. However, when she opened her eyes she realized that she had been transported 10 years back to the past, back when she was still in high school. While she sees this as an opportunity to save the love of her life, what she doesn't realize is that her teenage self is in her adult body, 10 years into the future, and has no clue about the life Qi has built or how precious the time she has left with Yuanzi is. No matter the time, no matter the age, their love resonates as they stand by each other's side. Will they be able to conquer fate?

Review: The plot was never dragged and the pacing was very smooth. The characters are also very cute. There were issues I had with a certain side character but other than that it was a very pleasant read.

"If I relaxed my body now, I'd fall apart. I've always lived like this, and it's the only way I know how to go on living. If I relaxed for a second, I'd never find my way back. I'd go to pieces, and the pieces would be blown away."

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Traitor.

The word dripped into the crevices of your mind, filling up the space where a numb emptiness hadn't taken residence.

Your hands hadn't stopped shaking since you'd found the bunker. You'd opened it for the enemy, and all of your instincts were screaming at you to keep him out.

This mission with Kakashi meant more than simply escaping the Red Room. It was a complete and utter betrayal. Now, you were not only a fugitive, but a Judas.

It made you want to take a knife to your hand. To inflict the appropriate punishment upon yourself since there was no one else there to do it for you.

No one told you that freedom was just going to feel like a new set of shackles.

"Maa," Kakashi's voice snapped you out of your spiraling thoughts, "don't zone out on me now."

A disappointed sense of being useless swelled in your chest; you had been staring at the keypad that would get you into the archives for at least a minute now, unmoving and floating somewhere between past and present. One moment, it was Kakashi behind you, a bored and unthreatening presence in your peripheral. The next, Orochimaru was looming over you, disappointed that he had raised such a failure.

A murmured apology didn't seem to reassure Kakashi that you had pulled yourself from the cage that your thoughts had formed around your consciousness. You could feel his frustration at your idle movements as he stood at your back, waiting with a thin veil of patience for you to simply open a door.

And as much as you wanted to fault him for rushing you, you felt the same frustration with yourself. If you were going to get pulled into the past every time something reminded you of it, then you were going to be more of an obstacle to Kakashi—and Sakura—than an asset.

"Look, just..." Kakashi started, but trailed off. This was beyond him; he couldn't read your mind, and he didn't know enough about your past to try and understand what was going on in your head.

He was kneeling next to you, and you let yourself focus on his decidedly non-Orochimaru-like presence to keep you grounded. He was much more relaxed than your former caretaker, hands hanging on his knees, head tilted, and eyes the picture of unfocused boredom. That was an expression you had never seen on Orochimaru. You hadn't seen it on anyone. It was an unfamiliar, oxymoronic feature that was probably unique to Kakashi.

"Do you have an attention issue or something? I thought you were supposed to be a spy."

The scowl that you shot him was met with an unimpressed stare.

"Excuse me for being a little bit distracted with you breathing down my neck, asshole."

"I wouldn't be breathing down your neck if you would hurry it up. Didn't you say this was the easy part?"

"I'm pretty sure I said the opposite."

"You said it was the least hard. I thought that meant it would take less than ten minutes. Are we going to grow old here?"

With another insult caught on the tip of your tongue, you realized that Kakashi had become fully Kakashi again instead of the half-Kakashi half-Orochimaru hybrid that he had been when you were stuck in your memories. You blinked at him, wondering tensely if you would open your eyes and see Orochimaru's crooked smirk instead of Kakashi's mask. Multiple blinks later, Kakashi was still looking at you with that same unimpressed stare.

"Your ability to lose focus amazes me."

You scowled at him, though the effort to feel any real contempt melted away when you realized that he'd temporarily snapped you out of your panicked haze. Maybe that infuriating aloofness that usually made you want to deck him was actually good for something.

"Whatever. Just give me a minute to think."

"I've given you several minutes."

The easiest thing to do (after knocking him flat on his ass, but that wouldn't bode well in the way of cooperation) was to ignore him, and to turn off the part of your mind that insisted on resurfacing old, forgotten memories. Instead, you tried to remember the feeling of desperation that had helped you survive in the Red Room. The feeling that leaving any mission incomplete would result in punishment. You tried to locate the switch that Sakura had somehow managed to turn off four years ago.

You turned the Widow back on, and she understood her orders.

The code you needed to get in was, to Orochimaru's credit, not easy to get a hold of. As with every code-protected door under HYDRA's jurisdiction, the six-digit key changed monthly. It was randomly generated, and Orochimaru only had access to the ones associated with the Red Room. Those were given to him by hand to avoid leaving a digital trail behind. Secrecy like that was especially important when HYDRA was still a weed growing in the cracks of post-war SHIELD. Now, the secrecy was more of a habit than anything else.

As soon as Kabuto had proven himself as Orochimaru's right-hand, the task of retrieving said codes was given to him.

Kabuto met with a delegate from HYDRA once a month, and information was exchanged. Kabuto received entry codes, records of girls—of babies whose parents were willing to give them up and put them in Orochimaru's care—and orders for Orochimaru and his Widows. In exchange, Kabuto gave HYDRA's main branch records on the Widows—how many were improving beyond expectation, how many were in the field, and what level of control they could help HYDRA gain.

It was an archaic system, but it had worked for decades now, and there was no point in fixing something that provided an extra layer of security.

Intercepting HYDRA's messenger had been easy. Uncomfortably easy.

You wanted to blame it on HYDRA becoming sloppy, but that was highly unlikely.

You had known from the sour look on Kakashi's face after you copied down the codes that he'd had the same thought as you. When it came to HYDRA, nothing was coincidence, and anything that was too easy was probably too good to be true.

Always assume the worst. That was how you had survived. And based on what you'd seen, it was probably how Kakashi had survived too.

The codes were, ironically, also in code. It was the standardized encryption that HYDRA used, and you were taught it fairly early in your training. Widows who were not ready for high-level missions were given assignments focused on retrieving information. This bunker, for example, would've been the site of one such mission if Orochimaru had any use for it. But a man so interested in progress wanted little to do with a bunker dripping in information about the past.

That was another risk you had been considering. It was unlikely that any Widows would be sent here, let alone at the same time as you, but that was assuming Orochimaru didn't know where you were. And that was a dangerous assumption to make.

The Widow shut down your paranoid thoughts and put her one-track mind to use on the code. Kakashi seemed to notice the shift and took a step back, leaning against the far wall and pulling a book from his jacket.

Kakashi's expectations had been infuriatingly exact, and you tried to ignore his smug look when you finally entered the correct code exactly ten minutes after you'd started working. The door opened with a creak.

The archives looked untouched. Dust had settled in a thick blanket over the dozens of boxes, and the drag of the door against the concrete floor had created a dust-free semi-circle that gave you a clear picture of how long it had been since someone was here. Each step you took left an imprint of your shoes in the floor, and you added clearing those footprints to your ever-growing list of tasks.

"Where do we start?" Kakashi asked behind you, looking around at the rows of boxes with disdain.

You stepped up to the ones closest to the entrance, running a finger over the date written on the front of it. 1960. The dates were likely the only things that wouldn't be code-protected.

"The Red Room was founded before the Cold War," you said quietly, thinking back to the early days of your training when you'd been taught about HYDRA's history, "at first, HYDRA wasn't exactly in the business of breeding spies. During World War II, when they gained more power, soldiers were more in demand. The war was being fought on the ground, so HYDRA threw their resources into strength. They were building an empire and fighting a war at the same time. Things were messy, and growth was valued over intricacy."

You could feel Kakashi's eyes on your back, and you wondered how much of this he already knew. Now that HYDRA had been exposed, its secrets spread for all to see, a lot of this was probably public information. You'd never had much in the way of internet access, but you knew enough from the frenzy that had taken place in the months following HYDRA's near-collapse about what had and hadn't been released.

But despite the setback resulting from the leak, HYDRA continued to expand. Growth had always been the organization's strong-suit. Even before one head was cut off, two more had already begun growing.

But the symbol of the HYDRA had always seemed wrong to you. Instead of something so powerful and dominating, you thought of something hidden. Something that grew like an itch you couldn't scratch, or an unidentifiable ache in the body. Like a parasite.

"The Cold War was different. HYDRA needed spies, but more than that, they needed loyalty. Orochimaru's predecessor, Sarutobi, created the Red Room as a solution.

"Sarutobi wasn't interested in mind-control. Loyalty, of course, was created in cruel ways, but the original twenty-three Widows still had their free-will. From what I've heard of him, he was kinder than Orochimaru. Not kind, but not soulless. When Orochimaru succeeded him, his mission became to amend the faults he saw in the system that Sarutobi had created. What that meant was stripping us of our free will without us realizing it."

And now he's succeeded, you almost said. But the look on Kakashi's face told you that mentioning Sakura now would've been doing more harm than good. Instead, you followed the dates from 1960, when Sarutobi first established the Red Room, to 1990, when Orochimaru took control.

"This is where we'll start," you pulled out the box marked "January 1990" with a grimace. It was heavier than you'd imagined, and filled with a lot more than you'd hoped, "I don't know exactly what we're looking for, but Orochimaru has been experimenting with mind control since before he took over. It's his obsession. And if there are any records on how to reverse it, this is where we should start looking."

The boxes loomed over you in stacks, piled on shelves until they reached the ceiling. It was a daunting task, but it was better than the alternative. Better than receiving orders from Orochimaru.

Is it? the Widow asked. What are you without him?

You ignored her. She fell silent.

You hadn't slept in thirty-six hours.

It felt like a necessary sacrifice, but calling it a sacrifice seemed a little bit dramatic. Among the many experiments that Orochimaru conducted on his Widows to try and create the perfect spy, one included seeing how long someone could be kept awake until total shut down. No one died during those experiments, and no drugs were used to try and stimulate the brain, but it hadn't been pretty.

You'd been one of the test subjects, once upon a time. It was punishment, but you don't remember what you'd done to deserve it.

Regardless, you were no stranger to missed nights of sleep. You felt your body screaming at you for reprieve, but you fought back harder and kept your eyes open out of pure spite. If you didn't, precious time was wasted. For all you knew, Sakura was already lost to you.

Leaving time to rest was not an option.

You always felt it when Kakashi was looking at you. He seemed to be thinking about your lack of sleep as well, as his gaze was annoyingly concerned, but evidently not enough to say anything. He was worried about the issue of time too. But he also saw the deep and growing bags under your eyes. He saw you falter as you brought boxes out from the archive and into the tent that he'd set up at the tree-line a few yards from the ground entrance to the bunker. He saw your hands shaking when you set them down.

He felt selfish for not doing anything about it. But with Sakura in danger, he had to trust that you had her best interest in mind. Even if her best interest was detrimental to yours.

It's your choice, he tried to tell himself, you're an adult. You're perfectly capable of deciding when and when not to sleep. You have your role, and he has his.

He glanced at the growing pile of decoded documents, written too quickly to be considered neat, but legible enough that he was able to read through them with ease. And he had. He'd read through everything that you decoded, leaving him to do the mental work of sorting through what was on the page while you just focused on each word as an isolated puzzle.

Nothing significant so far. Not so much as a mention of Orochimaru's experiments.

Three days without sleep, and you had nothing to show for it.

Now he was the one getting distracted. He glanced at the setting sun with a sigh, lamenting another day gone with nothing useful showing itself in the hundreds of files that you'd sorted through. It felt like a waste.

He leaned back and glanced at where you had been working for the better part of two days, now empty. You'd gone for the next set of files...when was it? The sun hadn't been going down.

He realized with a chill that nearly an hour had gone by, and he'd been too wrapped up in the files you'd given him and his own anxious thoughts to notice.

He stood, pushing the papers aside with little care about where they ended up. It took him about five seconds to start moving, and in that time, his thought process was as follows:

The tent that he had set up before you started working was deliberately placed to be hidden from anyone not looking for it. If someone was searching specifically for the bunker, chances were that they wouldn't see the tent unless they ventured into the woods.

You'd been gone for at least an hour, but no one had found him. This left two likely options: you had passed out from exhaustion in the bunker, or you had been compromised and refused to sell him out.

The former meant that he needed to get to the bunker and make sure you hadn't hit your head and bled out in the bunker. The latter meant that he would be compromised as well unless he abandoned the bunker and got back to the compound to regroup.

He paused for a split second to glance at his escape route. It would've meant abandoning you and facing Sakura alone. But if you really had been captured, then going after you would only result in both of you dying.

He hoped he wasn't making a mistake. He hoped that his reluctant trust in you was worth this risk.

The field that surrounded the bunker was empty, but he knew better than to assume that it was safe. If Orochimaru had found out what you were doing, then he'd probably sent Widows. Widows who had been trained in stealth since the moment they could walk.

He waited at the ground entrance of the bunker and held his breath, listening for voices or footsteps or anything else that would suggest that you weren't alone. But all he heard was rustling pages and the frantic, familiar scratch of pencil on paper.

He was careful as he crept down the ladder and through the door that led into the archives. He kept his guard up even after he had scanned the room and found that you were not only alone, but completely conscious.

Instead of relief, anger swelled in his chest. He released it in a deep, unsettled sigh and approached you with heavy steps to alert you of his approach.

Surrounding you was a mess of photos, coded documents, and your translated versions. You knelt in the middle, reading over the information that you had just finished scribbling down. He couldn't tell what was going on in your head from your expression, but you looked moments from keeling over. Your head lulled to the side just a bit too much to be natural, and it looked like your eyes were open through sheer willpower rather than any excess energy. He thought about how long the mission had been so far and concluded that it had been nearly forty-eight hours since you'd slept.

"You've been busy," he muttered.

You should've heard him, but you didn't look up. It didn't feel like you were ignoring him. Instead, he got the sense that you just weren't processing what he was saying. All of your energy was focused on the words in front of you; anything else was just a distraction.

When he knelt down, you finally looked up. He realized with a start that there were dried tear stains on your cheeks.

"I found..." you whispered, then swallowed when your voice came out a cracked, shaking mess. It had been nearly ten hours since you'd last spoken. Almost eight since you'd taken a drink of water, "Sorry. I didn't mean to be gone so long."

Kakashi looked down at the picture that you were holding. In it was a man and a woman, both with bullet wounds in their chests and both lying dead in a street. The picture was clearly taken with a decent camera, and Kakashi could just make out a yellow evidence marker in the corner of the photo. A crime scene, then.

"Who are they?"

"My parents."

There were a few seconds of silence as Kakashi processed hearing it and you processed saying it, both of you staring at the picture like it would start moving if you just looked at it long enough.

He was trying to read the writing on your mother's shirt to keep himself occupied when you pushed another photo in his direction. This one was of a girl, probably only one or two years old, staring at the camera with dead eyes that had likely seen far too much for someone who had barely begun walking.

"That's me," you told him, tone almost casual.

He felt that ruminating on the photo of your younger-self wouldn't do you much good, so he pointed at your notes instead. "What's all this?"

"My childhood," you responded easily. Kakashi looked at you warily. It seemed that an hour had been enough time for you to detach yourself from your discoveries. You'd already escaped back into the protective shell that he was becoming very familiar with.

He amended that thought when you handed him one of the pages with a trembling hand.

"Orochimaru didn't...take us. The Widows were given to him by families who had no other options. He offered them one, and then paid them for their silence. Legally speaking, none of the Widows exist."

Kakashi ignored the voice in the back of his mind telling him that this was wasting time that they needed to be using to save Sakura. He shoved it down until it was nothing but the faintest whisper, and he listened to you.

"My parents weren't the ones who gave me up. My grandparents...essentially kidnapped me, and they gave me to Orochimaru. They promised that they would keep my parents from finding out where they had taken me, but I guess they were weaker than they'd let on. My parents were on Orochimaru's doorstep barely a week later. They wanted me back."

Kakashi looked down at the paper you had given, and at the details written down that essentially confirmed everything you were saying. And then, at the bottom of the page–

"He killed them."

The words were spoken with forced emptiness, but there was something else behind them. Something that you were trying desperately to keep covered. When he looked at you, he saw the same attempt to hide in your eyes. In the tight line that your mouth had become. Forced indifference told him more than genuine anger would have.

"Orochimaru raised us to believe that the world had given up on us. That we were only worth something because he had found us. We were left by the people who were supposed to take care of us, but he gave us a second chance. It was like...like a transaction. We gave everything to him, and in exchange, he made us worth something. What that really meant was that, without him, we had no purpose and no meaning.

"When I met Sakura, I realized that the world wasn't about trade-offs like that. That love didn't have to come at a price."

When you glanced at him, he got the feeling that you were deciding whether or not to continue. What you saw must have been encouragement enough to keep going.

"She told me about you. How you took her in when she had nothing to give back to you. And I realized that the world had to be better than what I'd been raised to believe.

"And now–" your voice cracked, and Kakashi set the paper down. He looked at you and hoped that you knew he was listening. That, even if this was the only time you'd ever be able to bear saying this out loud, he'd heard you. And he would remember, "Someone wanted me. And they didn't want me to fight to earn their love. They would've just...given it to me."

He watched you carefully as you tried to stand, eyes faraway and empty. He stood with you, reaching out when you stumbled on your way to the next set of boxes. You stepped over the scattered papers, and his eyes caught sight of another picture of a child, one he assumed was you. You were just a baby, held up for the picture by Orochimaru himself.

You stopped in front of the box you needed, but you'd barely begun pulling it out when you staggered and slumped forward. Kakashi caught you with an arm around your waist before you could fall face-first into the shelves.

You were plaint in his arms, and while the lack of resistance should've been concerning, he was more relieved than anything. At the very least, you'd be forced to get a few hours of sleep.

He pressed two fingers against your jaw to keep your head from moving as he lifted you up from under your knees, though movement likely wouldn't have made a difference. You were out cold, completely drained from the consecutive days you'd spent working. Still, he paused when you shifted in his arms, looking down to make sure that you hadn't woken up.

"You don't know when to quit," he muttered. Damn you for making him worry. He hated it. He needed a break from it after six years of it eating away at him while Sakura was in the Red Room.

But he supposed it wasn't your fault. In actuality, you'd tried your hardest to make him hate you.

The tent only had one sleeping bag laid out on the side that he'd claimed for himself. Yours was void of anything except the bundled coat that you'd been sitting on and the scatter of papers surrounding it. The water bottle that he'd set beside you that morning was unopened, he noticed. He scowled at you and hoped that his disdain found its way into your dreams.

With no other options and a laziness that made opening the other sleeping bag seem like an impossible task, he settled you into his blankets and covered you. It wasn't the most comfortable arrangement he'd ever set up for himself, but you were probably too deep in sleep to notice. At least you had a decent pillow.

There wasn't much for him to do while you slept; he'd gone over everything twice, and without you decoding more for him to read, he was essentially useless. He considered going outside and keeping watch, maybe doing laps at the edge of the forest to burn off some of his nervous energy from before, but he just stood at your side, hesitant to leave you defenseless. He watched the even rise and fall of your chest as you slept. There was a peaceful look on your face that he had never seen before.

With a sigh and a moment's hesitation, he sat at your side and pulled out a book, trying to focus on it rather than on the expression on your face when you'd told him about your parents.

It only took a few hours for your face to twist uncomfortably. It was subtle, but Kakashi perked up at the movement. He knew the beginning of a nightmare like the back of his hand. Never-mind that he got them frequently; he'd been helping all three of the kids cope with them for years.

Whenever they got nightmares, Sakura and Naruto both liked knowing that there was someone in the room with them while they slept. Generally that meant that they would fall asleep while he brushed through their hair, a constant reminder that they weren't alone.

Sasuke liked being talked to sleep, though he'd never admit it. Sometimes he would sleep on the couch in the common area, and Kakashi always knew that meant he was having a bad night. On those nights, Kakashi would pick up a book and read aloud until he was sure that Sasuke was asleep.

Your hand tightening into a fist around the blanket covering you snapped him out of his thoughts. He wasn't sure what would help; you didn't seem averse to physical touch, but he'd only seen you touch Sakura. He wasn't confident that he would get the same treatment.

Still, you wouldn't blame him for trying. Hopefully.

He sat near your head and reached a hand out awkwardly. It had been one thing to do this with his kids; when they began confiding in him about their nightmares, they'd been comfortable around him. He'd made them feel safe. You were still wary even turning your back to him, much less letting him this close while you were unconscious.

But you were still twisting and turning, and your mumbling was becoming more coherent.

"No, stop," you muttered, repeating it over and over like a prayer. Kakashi thought of those same, pleading words coming from Sasuke as he dreamt of his brother.

He brushed his fingers lightly over your head. The memory of running gentle hands through Sakura's hair came to mind. She always leaned against his thigh in her sleep, subconsciously moving closer to him during the night. He tried to remember the same, soothing touch he used that always gave her a restful nights sleep. His fingers moved over the skin of your scalp gently, careful not to wake you with too much pressure.

A few minutes after, he was silently and absentmindedly going through the familiar motions. In that time, your anxious muttering had quieted, and he didn't think he was mistaken when he noticed that your body was relaxed. He felt a strange swell of pride when he saw that peaceful expression back on your face.

Part of him wondered if you would ever feel that kind of contentedness when you were awake. As he sat and did his best to keep you from falling back into your nightmares, he wondered if he'd be able to see it one day.

Author's note | full disclosure: i am only on season four of the og naruto series, so i don't have a lot of context for kakashi's backstory and stuff like that, but i do have the bare bones. i want to include it, but it might be later than expected because i don't know what it entails lmao. anyways, i'm so happy with this chapter, and i had a lot of fun writing it, so i hope y'all enjoy. also apologies for the slow updates. midterms season is intense.

sorry for the long note but i also changed some things in the prev. chapters, so if you're someone who's invested in plot things i'd recommend rereading chapter 2.

PRESENTING . . . TRASH CANDY ── ✦ ───

‿︵ ONESHOTS

Hello, everyone. This is Cian and this is an oneshot request page! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, but whenever I attempted it on Wattpad, it was always a flop. I wish this won't be the case here. I'll be taking ship requests from a variety of media. I will not limit it to a particular fandom, solely because I'm part of a whole bunch and I wanna write for most of them if given the chance. While sending in your request, keep in mind, there are a few rules to this. They are on my profile, so please read them and make sure you understand them well! 

I present to you the ships that I'm able to write about. I prefer some more than others and that will be represented. Red for favorites, blue for not favorites but great, and orange for okay. You can request ships outside of this list, but I cannot guarantee that I will do them. Long story short, here is the complete list of the ships!

For my job to become easier, you will have to include the following information in your request: ship, plot (preferably a detailed version), any triggers you might have, and any headcanons or extra stuff you would like. If at least the first three aren't mentioned, I will pretend like you never commented in the first place. I hope you enjoy my oneshots hehe!

[purplemys]

A ship tier list I didn't bother finish visualizing and some of them will be discussed in depth because I want to.

Changed My Life refers to the ships with the most impact on me emotionally. Like make me cry because the writing's just that good. DabiHawks isn't even canon but I need to say that a lot of its authors are the best. 😌 The reason they're at the top is for their range of interpretations. While I have a preference for Childhood Friends AUs, the best include Enemies to Lovers and Post-war Healing fics.

InuKag is a staple of the romance anime genre. They're just the right blend of sweet and angsty. They have a dynamic consisting of Hero/Damsel in Distress, Battle Couple, Team Dad/Mom, Jaded/Sunshine. Any other dynamic would become OOC or even toxic. Like say if Inuyasha or Kagome were more verbally and physically aggressive. (Yes this is shade towards the anime's version of Kagome.)

Now Band-do/Jin-joo is the most grounded and realistic of the three. InuKag and DabiHawks are fantastic and dramatic but the writing for these two is too good to ignore.

CUTE!!! is for the ships that make me go 😍🥰 but not much else. Sure, Soukoku, Jaspvid, Bubbline, Stolitz, Fizzie and Blizz (Blitzo x Fizz) have that Childhood Friends or We Have History appeal, I already see more of that in DabiHawks writing and if only it was canon, I'd ascend. 😭

Okay is just the ships I think are alright but I'm not absolutely swooning over, looking art and fics for. I did briefly for Marin/Gojou and Urabe/Akira but that was it.

Hm, Why? is just my automatic shipper brain activating when I was in those fandoms. Nothing ground-breaking. Some might even say, questionable. 🤷‍♀

Fix It and I'll Consider are those ships that I want to enjoy because I know it was ruining aspects of the films. Thankfully, Blizz handles the We Were Tricked and Now We Hate Each Other trope than InuKik because there's no doubt that those two were super close but still had a basis of why they'd think to resent each other. Inuyasha and Kikyou are shallow and so "tragic" I couldn't take them seriously. Kikyou's character and her relationship with Inuyasha also have this unfortunate problem of tell, don't show where the show tells us they have a deep bond then goes to show how lonely and desperate they were and how okay Kikyou was with putting Inuyasha in danger (even post-resurrection).

Haruki/Sakura during the first half of the movie wasn't cute. I didn't find her endearing. She'd be weird and creepy if she was a guy, I don't care if she basically told the guy she was gonna die in a few years. My suspension of disbelief isn't that big for a film grounded in reality.

I'll be talking about Go Back Couple and its ships in another post. ^^

Anime Movies - Seishun Romance Edition

When I was younger (seven to ten years ago?), I tend to read any kind of stories (not gore, horror though), especially those with good reviews. As I'm getting older, somehow I become less interested in romance as main story/plot. I like romance, it's adorable, exciting, heartwarming. I guess, I just become much more selective particularly with romance.

When I was making a list of anime movies I like to rewatch, other than works from some popular directors, there are some that I also considering to rewatch once in a while. Then I realized that they have seishun romance as a big part of their stories. Here they are~

Koe no Katachi 聲の形 (2016)

I really like Koe no Katachi manga. The anime movie is very nice though I vaguely remember after I watched it, I felt, agh it's not that as impressive as manga. Growing up with regrets, past mistakes, and how they handle those. Mending hearts and relationships. Self-loathing. Characters personalities and their growths. Koe no Katachi is compelling. Those X on faces of people around Ishida Shoya also relatable. Love story between two main characters, Nishimiya Shouko and Ishida Shoya, is lovely. Even though romance is a big element, there are a lot to ponder about (other than romance) in this story, and maybe that's why it lingers more. I think I will rewatch this after I reread the manga.

Koi wo shita no wa (恋をしたのわ) by Aiko is a well-match as theme song.

Josee to Tora to Sakanatachi ジョゼと虎と魚たち (2020)

I watched the live action movie of this story years ago (great casts and theme song), the ending was quite heartbreaking which I thought this anime movie would also have similar ending. I was ready for it but turned out it's not. It's sweet~! Finding your true self and not giving up hope. This anime movie has some beautiful scenes, I like Josee's room!

I really like the ending song, Ao no Waltz (蒼のワルツ) by Eve.

Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai 君の膵臓をたべたい (2018)

I watched the live action movie first some time ago, it's so heartbreaking (the first movie I watched of Kitamura Takumi and he's very good), and yet I was still a bit excited to have my heart breaks again when I knew they're going to adapt it as anime movie. Emotional journey and bond between two seemingly opposite characters. When I first knew about this story, I initially thought she might be passed away later because of her disease, but damn that twist. Life really, it can be taken away at anytime, unexpectedly. The title 'I want to eat your pancreas' and Sakura's journal 'Living with Dying' (共病文庫 Kyōbyō Bunko) also thought-provoking. That moment when Shiga Haruki said "Can I cry now?" really ;;__;;

I really like the ending song Shunkashuto (春夏秋冬 haru natsu aki fuyu) and insert song Himitsu (秘密) by Sumika.

May there be many more captivating, wonderful, thought-provoking, encouraging, beautiful stories we can watch in this lifetime~

Las Crónicas de Dalkor 3

Dalkor, en su camino de descubrimiento y crecimiento, tiene el privilegio de conocer al grupo autodenominado "Los Custodios de la Fusión". Este grupo fue creado por Argoth, el antiguo portador del amuleto y actual zombie, en colaboración con Ealdric el Sabio, un erudito y sabio conocedor de las antiguas artes místicas.

"Los Custodios de la Fusión" es una organización conformada por individuos excepcionales que han dominado sus habilidades sobrenaturales y han jurado proteger y preservar el equilibrio entre las fuerzas de la luz y la oscuridad. Su propósito principal es salvaguardar el amuleto y asegurarse de que caiga en manos dignas y responsables.

Argoth, como líder del grupo, guía a Dalkor y lo introduce en la dinámica y la misión de "Los Custodios de la Fusión". A través de su asociación con el grupo, Dalkor tiene la oportunidad de conocer a los antiguos portadores del amuleto, cada uno con habilidades únicas y una perspectiva única en la lucha contra el mal.

En esta comunidad de Custodios, Dalkor encuentra cómo fueron sus vidas y en que momento de la historia fueron los portadores del amuleto.

A medida que Dalkor se involucra más con "Los Custodios de la Fusión", se da cuenta de la importancia de su misión. La batalla contra las fuerzas oscuras se vuelve más intensa y desafiante, pero también encuentra un propósito más profundo en su lucha. A través de la sabiduría y la experiencia compartida a través de los años, Dalkor se fortalece y se convierte en un defensor aún más valiente y comprometido de la justicia y la protección de los inocentes.

Con el conocimiento transmitido por "Los Custodios de la Fusión", Dalkor encuentra un hogar espiritual y un sentido de pertenencia. Se enfrentaría a los enemigos y desafíos que amenazan con sumir al mundo en la oscuridad, recordándose mutuamente que la unión y la cooperación son claves para prevalecer contra las fuerzas del mal y mantener viva la esperanza en tiempos oscuros.

Do you have many oc's in the Naruto world?

I have a few ocs, most of them are for my Sakura au - Serin, Hikari, the Aburame girl and Umi. I also have Haruki, a random Hyuuga boy I designed. Kaito and Yuto are the spouses of two Akatsuki members. Kaito is Kakuzu's husband, and Yuto is Kisame's wife. Deitana is the one I work with the most, he's Deidara's older brother and also... Hidan's partner. He's the most known I think, so I just... draw him. I have rough concepts for an Uchiha x Hyuuga couple somewhere, but I dropped the idea a while ago.

Outside of those though, I guess my ship children count. My SakuSasu kids, NaruKaka kids, TemaShika kids, ect. There's like, 17 of them on their own...

So about... 25? 27 including the couple concept?
