Where do I even start?? This story was an absolute roller-coaster I never anticipated! Amazing writing and world building. The twists and turns made is impossible to pause and gather my breath. It wasn't just a raunchy romance between Kakashi and Sakura. It was interesting new characters and amazing story about persisting and dedication to the people you love.
I hope wherever the author today is, they are still writing and even got their own original writing published and thriving. Thank you for the incredible adventure!
But now that I have your attention: I wanted to make a pinned post about what I'm doing in fandom. Feel free to ignore or whatever.
I've been editing and doing minor rewrites for The Spoils of War and for some reason I want to share this information here.
The Spoils of War. -- Editing in Progress
Re-editing (SPAG, punctuation, changing 'Aro' to 'Rasa'), mild rewrites (sentences, paragraphs), and minor retcons (character thoughts, motivations, etc. -- nothing that changes the story, just makes it flow better, imo. And giving the chapters more personality -- especially the earlier ones that really need it).
Also, I'm doing up moodboards and editing some silent film title cards for the beginning of each of the ARCs (remember there are 3 Arcs in this story). It's been a lot of fun and hopefully all these edits and creations will culminate in the energy I need to get the next new chapter out.
Wish me luck. :)

First:
FF NET is being a bitch so I won't be updating there anymore for the foreseeable future. AO3 will be my only baby.
Second:
My current priorities are The Spoils of War and an unposted 30k+ one-shot that I'm beginning to think I might need a beta for, for some overarching help. (More details on that with my post on the GaaSaku Community.)
Third:
A Beautiful Lie is not abandoned. I'm just not writing it right now. (Tumblr link for latest chapter.) It will be next after my current obsession with these minor rewrites of The Spoils of War.
All other posted wips are on the backburner.

SasuHina month is coming in August, 2026, so I'll be posting for that. Beyond August, I do have several one-shots and a multi-chapter I'm working on -- ALL will be complete when posted.
KakaSaku is on my planner but not a priority.
Zutara: I will be participating in the Zutara Gift Exchange when it happens again this year and may be able to finish something for the Zutara Week. We'll see.

Thank-you so much to everyone who has ever consumed the things I've created in all my fandoms over the years. You guys are the reason I never chucked it all in and left for good. Life is only getting harder right now -- for us all -- and it's a source of comfort to be able to come back to fandom each time and enjoy both creating and reading.

I’m always so confused when younger people in a fandom ostracize the fandom’s older members. Like, hello, those are our predecessors? Are you going to bully the OG “I like your shoelaces thanks I stole them from the president” MVPs? Would you disrespect the brave women in the 70s who died for our sins writing Spirk fanfiction? Respect the elders who literally prepared this space for you and set up the infrastructure for you to enjoy your favorite media in community with others.
