[Requested] The Gyaru Eye Tutorial: Japanese Bambi Eyes a la Tsubasa Masuwaka

–

The Gyaru look has been around for quite awhile, but only really took off in the rest of Asia after it was popularized by people like Tsubasa Masuwaka, to the extend that it’s come to be known as the “Tsubasa look” for many people.

The typical feature of the look is a slightly droopy doll-eye shape with big lashes on top and bottom, AND prerequisite circle lenses. The overall effect is a much larger and more down-turned eye than one naturally has.

This isn’t a look that I wear myself because my features are a little too strong (I don’t have the typical delicate East Asian features thought I’m Chinese), so I opted for a subtler look with lashes and an eye shape that wasn’t too exaggerated. But if you have smaller features, you can really go to town with it.

Aside from the basic eye, I’m also going to give you a couple of tips on getting that very glowy, pastel blush and the pale glossy lips.

Not suited for:

People with very deep sockets

People with very thick double lids

–

FIRST OF ALL: If you have heavy mono-lids or very hooded eyes where the fold covers all the way past your lash line, you WILL need to use a little lid glue/tape or clear lash glue to create double-lids. Tsubasa uses it all the time, and I’m not able to demonstrate because I already have double-lids, but you should be able to easily find a guide on application if you Google it!

Step 1: Pick a shadow. Tsubasa tends to go with a shimmery neutral. but occasionally also wears color. I chose MAC Tan pigment, which is a warm coppery-bronze shimmer. To go with the droopy shape, you want to apply the shadow up past the socket line on the inner portions of the lid, and under the socket line on the outer portions.

–

Step 2: The under-liner is probably the 2nd most important part of the look. Tsubasa doesn’t always wear bottom liner (sometimes she just uses lashes), but if you’re new to this, then it’s better to do it so you have a guiding line for your lashes later.

Start from the center of the eye, right at the lashes, and then go almost straight out, instead of following the curve of your eye. The more horizontal this line is, the more droopy the look will be.

–

Step 3: For the upper lashes, you want to go right to the inner corners. In certain looks, Tsubasa actually extends the liner past the inner corners slightly to exaggerate the look even more. 

On the outer corners, make sure you go down past the eye and meet the underliner you applied earlier, before winging straight out.

This gives you that droopy Bambi-eye shape.

– 

Step 4: Falsies! Very important! Look for something that is longer on the outer ends, like Ardell Demis. Unlike typical lash application, you want to place the outer ends first, and set them much further out than usual, right at the outer corners of your eye.

After you let the glue dry and set firm, press down the outer halves of the lashes a little so you enhance that droopy effect. If you lashes point upwards, it will create a cat shape, which you do not want for this look.

–

Lower lashes: For the lower lashes, I was lucky enough to find a set in the drugstore (if you’re in Singapore, Watson’s at NEX has them) that come cut into 3 portions. Outer, center, and inner. If you can only find full strips, you can always cut them yourself for easier application.

I used only the outer and center strips since Tsubasa rarely does a full strip along the lower lash line.

–

Step 5:  You want to first use a beige or white pencil to fill in the inner rims of your lower lash line, and also the space above the black underliner you drew earlier. This not only enhances the illusion that the black liner you drew is your actualy lash line, but it also hides your bottom lashes a little, if they are dark.

THEN, you place the false lashes along the black you drew earlier to complete the look.

–

Step 7: Pop in your circle lenses to create a bigger iris, and you have the finished eye. You probably want to find a more dramatic looking set than mine, which are quite subtle. As with any dramatic makeup, it certainly won’t look natural up-close, so I don’t recommend this for a first date. (I know more than one guy who got shocked when their girlfriends looked like completely different people once they removed their ever-present eye makeup!)

For photo shoots and parties, it’s a fun look though.

–

CHEEKS

More often than not, Tsubasa sports a matte, candy pink tone that looks like it’s almost glowing. It’s hard to achieve this effect with a regular blush. What you want to do is dust a touch of soft lavender over your cheekbones first, and THEN apply a more intense pink blush normally.

This is a trick that “lifts” the pink on your skin.

–

LIPS

Tsubasa is always sporting super pale, super gloopy, glossy lips. As many of us know, a typical creamy pale pink or nude gloss can sink into lines quickly and look very uneven and almost deathly.

The trick to bringing out that slight pink hue, again, is layering. I like applying a little nude lipstick all over the lips first, and THEN top it with a layer of pale pink creme gloss (no shimmer) for the look. 

If you want to mimic Tsubasa’s look for a photograph, make sure you apply TONS of gloss and go right to the edges of your lips. If you want a more wearable version, keep it light. It won’t look as dramatic, but it’s going to be a heck of a lot more comfortable to wear, and easy to maintain.

Optional: pose with an open-mouthed pout to complete the look. I just couldn’t do it; I kept wanting to smack myself.

Pokemon-Pikachu and Ash’s Reunion

An Animation I started during my 2nd year at the Animation Workshop and I decided to continue. It was a good challenge and a pleasure to use those childhood characters !

Naruto Fanfics!!

Link to Part 2 here!

***Time Travel***

backslide by blackkat COMPLETE

This was one of my first time travel fanfics… and my first slash fanfic as well.  But blackkat is incredibly talented with her writing, and I find myself unable to find a flaw in any of her fics!  She has great skill in characterization and fluff, as well as plot.  I also recommend Stormborn, reverse, Snake in the Grass, Wolf at the Door, and, really, all her fics.  But those are my favorites!

A Wrinkle in Time by rightforlife ABANDONED

Just an epic fic.  Naruto, Shikamaru, and Lee go back in time and they are epic.  I love their relationship in here! I guess you could consider them all OP, but I found it fun that way… The fic is abandoned though, sadly.

It’s For a Good Cause, I Swear! By Sarah1281 COMPLETE

A hilarious fanfic, where Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura go back in time and fixes a lot of things in a hilarious way. I really love how they deal with Orochimaru lol

Team Tensai and Mangekyo Sharingan by Wingwyrm COMPLETE

Team 7 goes back in time and find themselves to be kids!  They’re both awesome, though Mangekyo Sharingan is a little darker than Team Tensai, due to talks of child rape.  

Thicker Than Blood by EmptySurface ABANDONED

Sasuke and Naruto go back in time, though they come back as kids.  Their relationship in here is really sweet and I really wish the story would be continued…

Time and Again by KyLewin COMPLETE (with a sequel)

A really good fanfic.  Naruto at first thinks he’s in a genjutsu, which is a little unique. It was very well written.

The Lives Worth Saving by cyywsaphyre ABANDONED

Awesome fic! And unique in that Naruto goes back in his physical body and the way he deals with Hizashi is really awesome.

Begging for Forgiveness by Freezing Rain WIP?

This is Kakashi-centric and incredibly hard on the heart because KAKASHI and he is just so messed up.  I love his relationship with his ninken in here though.

Just the Usual Habits by mapplepie ONE-SHOT

Kakashi-centric and incredibly heart-wrenching.  But really well written.

Unwanted Trip by Solara Myles ONGOING

One of my absolute favorites!  Team 7 is sent back in time and they’re, obviously, kick ass. They’re relationship with Kakashi is amazing in here.  Also, the author’s plot is very unique compared to other time travels, imo, and it’s just well done.  

Parallels by QuestofDreams COMPLETE

This is more of a dimensional-travel thing, also SNS. It’s pretty good though!  The Yondaime is in here, though I think this was written before it was revealed that the Yondaime was Minato.  

Silent Guardians by FallenQueen2 COMPLETE

Naruto and Shikamaru go back in time to fix stuff. They fix stuff epically, of course.

Steal My Thunder God by Nauro

Naruto experiments with the Hiraishin and finds himself on the night of his birth… and mistaken for Minato.  It’s a pretty unique idea, though I think the fic is abandoned.

Into the Future by ichilover3

SNS fanfic!  Sasuke and Naruto go into the future and find their future selves in a relationship.  It’s a lot of smut/fluff, but it’s cute and funny.  Not much for plot though, since the focus is on the pairing.

Yet, mad I am not by Erisah Mae ONGOING

Itachi-centric.  He dies and finds himself in the past of another dimension.  It’s a pretty awesome fanfic, and I really like Itachi in here!

Escape Artist by Fiorea POSSIBLY ABANDONED?

MinaNaru.  It’s a really good fanfic, and it made me like the pairing cause of the way it’s done. Naruto has a lot of issues he has to go through in here, and Minato helps him.  They have a very cute relationship, which starts off as friends with Minato hinting interest and Naruto being his lovely oblivious self. But it’s super cute and very well done. Really hope it’s not abandoned.

History has its eyes on you by tasalmalin COMPLETE

Kakashi-centric! It’s a five-part series, and it really explores Kakashi’s mental state very well.  The whole series is well done and does justice to Kakashi’s character.

A snake among the leaves by blackkat COMPLETE

Orochimaru goes back in time and he brilliantly fixes stuff, much to the suspicion of everyone haha.

Hush by Xov ABANDONED

ItaNaru.  Naruto goes back in time, but it seems to be another dimension.  Naruto tries to fix stuff, but he realizes he really can’t because of it being a whole other dimension and all. Minato is alive in here and Naruto has PTSD.

Tampering with Time by Palaserece ONGOING

REALLY good and one of my absolute favorites! Minato goes back in time, but as a sort of reincarnation.  The fic is well-written, really long and still updating, and it’s really awesome because of the characterizations!

Stumble by writer168 ONGOING (nearly complete)

Sakura and Sasori go back in time!  Sakura is epic in here and Sasori is hilarious. There are also other characters go back in time but I won’t spoil it!  Sakura has serious trauma in here.  The characters are all well done and I love her frienship with Kakashi!  (I’m a total Kakashi fan… if it isn’t obvious by now…)

Blind Stars of Fortune by 100demons ONGOING

Kakashi goes back in time and into his 20 year old self!  Well-written and awesome plot!  I just love Kakashi.  

Walking Backwards on a Tightrope by Lithos Maitreya

Really good fic!  A lot of people go back in time, including Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Shino.  It’s well-written and interesting in its twists.

Shinobi Rules by Squishfie

One of the few fem!Naruto fics I enjoyed… mostly cause it’s KakaNaru lol.  But Naruto goes back in time and becomes a student under Minato.  It’s a cute story, imo.

***Gen Fics and Self-Inserts***

Naruto Hatake by Agent-G COMPLETE

I really like the idea of Kakashi adopting Naruto and kind of wish he had, even though I understand he couldn’t (mentally).  Just a really cute fic with a good plot.

Dreaming of Sunshine by Silver Queen ONGOING

One of my first self-insert fanfics and one of the best. It made me fall in love with the Nara Clan.  Just INCREDIBLY well-written with amazing plot lines.

Sakura by Darkpetal16 COMPLETE

A SI where the person finds herself in Sakura. Hilarious and the character’s pretty awesome.  Good plot too.

Déjà vu no Jutsu by Vixen Tail COMPLETE

Really well-written SI, set before/during Third Shinobi war.  I like Minato in here :) Really, all the characters in here.  Also chibi!Kakashi is adorable.  

Naruto: Myoushuu no Fuuin by May Wren ABANDONED

A what-if fic.  What if Naruto was a seal master at a young age?  Really well written and pretty awesome! :D

The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Features Kushina and Minato alive.  Does have Naruto neglected at a young age by them though… But, otherwise, a really great fic. I think Naruto is a little OP in here, and slightly OOC sometimes, but I still enjoyed the fic and it has an interesting pairing.  

Unplanned Paternity by TwinTrouble ABANDONED…?

Another fic where Kakashi takes care of chibi!Naruto! It’s one of my favorites and just really well-written and pretty long too.  

Broken by azfaerydust COMPLETE with a sequel!

An angsty and fluffly Kakashi adopts Naruto fic. The author characterizes Naruto and Kakshi well, since they both are very traumatized in this fic.  It’s just adorable because Kakashi is overprotective and ahh! One of my favorites and I’ve reread it way too many times!

Of Harrowed Hearts by Sable_Scribe ONGOING

REALLY amazing and one of my favorites!  Naruto and Team 7 is awesome in here, and Kurama is also amazing. The story updates weekly (as of now) and it’s super satisfying and I love the plot.  

Tuna Fish and Red-Splattered Pages by Pitch Black Magpie ONGOING

I really love Team 7 in here.  Naruto and Sasuke’s frienship is pretty awesome as well. Naruto’s character is very… unique too. I like the supernatural side of the story too, though I guess it seems slightly crack-y.  I like the view Naruto has of the Uchiha as well.

A Political Perspective by VJ Riddle

Kakashi creates an epic Team 7.  Really wish this had happened in canon tbh.  

The Somewhat Cracked mind of Uchiha Itachi by Kereea

Hilarious!  I really love Itachi in here and, really, everyone.

Blood Sings by Fireun Feather ONGOING

Naruto is a half-demon in here. I like Minato and Naruto in here and their father-son relationship.  

Chiaroscuro by boomvroomshroom

Shikamaru-centric!  I really enjoy the plot.  

***Pairing fics***

(mostly slash fanfics… you have been warned)

~SNS

(A lot of these fics are dark with fluff mixed in… because I can’t see SNS being totally fluffy.  It doesn’t really fit in with how I see them.  They’re both messed up people, Sasuke more evidently.)

Sound of Dreams by zrina COMPLETE

Really, really love this one because it features an amazing plot, is super long, and I love the characterizations of Naruto and Sasuke.  This is a NaruSasu fic and really well-written.

A World of Truth by luchia COMPLETE

Enjoyed this one because it’s in Sasuke’s POV and I liked how his character was done in here. It shows he’s very human, but not irredeemable.

Hopeless Wanderer by dawnstruck (series)

Super dark but really delicious.  Sasuke takes Naruto with him when he defects and wow… it’s really good!  Their relationship is very codependent, which, in reality, they are based on canon imo. I like the idea of Naruto and Sasuke leaving Konoha together tbh.

Post-Traumatic by IsolaVirtuosa COMPLETE

Really long and incredibly dark at times. Sasuke is really messed up in here and Naruto isn’t altogether sane himself.  Their relationship is very messed-up, but the ending is satisfying after that roller-coaster of a journey.

All In by Narutos Mother (momhuey) COMPLETE

The second half of the story is VERY dark, but Sasuke is super sweet in here. Slight Sakura-bashing?  She’s the villain of the story in here.

Lost on the Road of Life by shherie (series)

Cute story (it’s the first in a very cute series anyways), but Sasuke and Naruto do have issues getting into a relationship. Naruto is determined in here though and Sasuke is his bastard self in the first story, though absolutely adorable in the rest of the series.  Hachi, the sequel after a series of one-shots, is really good too!

Titanic by meowstelle ONE-SHOT

In Itachi’s POV and an AU.  But I found it really hilarious.

Breaking him down by IvvyMoon COMPLETE

Another dark fic, because Sasuke is an utter bastard at the beginning, though he redeems himself.  

Healing the Broken by KizuKatana COMPLETE

Dark and angsty, but their characters are done well. Great ending and plot.

An Invincible Summer by ShanaStoryteller COMPLETE

Naruto is gender-fluid in here, but WOW is it done well! The whole story is absolutely amazing and I didn’t want it to end!

Phoenix Rising by Kai_Maciel

This isn’t really SNS, because Naruto ends up raising Sasuke (you have to read it to find out why), but I really like the relationship because chibi!Sasuke is adorable and Naruto as a father should be this way, not the way he is to Boruto.  

For Brothers Share This Bond by bluedemon92 COMPLETE

Okay, this is the definition of dark and angsty. It’s really hard to read sometimes because of the issues… but it’s more Itachi-centric, with SNS.  But it has a unique plot and is well-written. Also KakaIta and KisaIta.

The sun within me by fangirlandiknowit ONGOING

Sasuke and Naruto find themselves in another dimension (from the movie Road to Ninja) and the plot is interesting.

~KakaNaru

(One of my OTPs, nbd)

A ninja must see underneath the underneath by Blooregard89 COMPLETE

KakaNaru and their frienship-to-romance is cute.  

Things Just Ain’t the Same Any Time the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game by barspoon COMPLETE

ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  She does the relationship REALLY well and it’s just amazing.  

Konoha’s Orange by purplefox COMPLETE

Good plot and it’s interesting, that’s for sure.  I like that there’s a bit of dimension travel in here and I like the relationship.  Kakashi is the one who’s oblivious in here, which is pretty funny.

A Safe Haven by Red_Hot_Holly_Berries ONGOING

I like the plot in here and I really look forward to the rest!

When You Look Me in The Eyes by blueicequeen ONE-SHOT

REALLY like this one!  A long one-shot and their relationship is super well done. Especially since it’s just a one-shot!

Fifteen Million Ryo by Riya3 COMPLETE

An interesting plot idea and I like how the relationship comes about.  It’s also funny and the side story with Sakura and Sai is done well.

(If you have other KakaNaru fics, I’d really, really love you if you’d let me know. There aren’t enough in the world…)

~Other Pairings

Break to Breathe by Okami Rayne COMPLETE (series)

ShikaNeji!  Interesting plot and the characterization is well done, to say the least.

Hyakumensou by Agni ABANDONED?

ItaNaru!  I like the idea of an arranged marriage and I like how the relationship progresses. Though Itachi could be considered slightly OOC, but I still enjoyed it.

Dimension by YukiwaFuru ABANDONED…

NaruMina… short, but I really enjoyed Naruto in here. The relationship was only a friendship, from what is written.

Walk the road of life by LasySwitch COMPLETE

KakaObi.  A soulmate AU and it’s cute.

Stalker by SweetDreamsAreMadeOfNaruto ONESHOT

A dark ObiKaka.  

Kiss and Run by SweetDreamsAreMadeOfNaruto ONESHOT

Cute KakaObi!  

It’s Just That Any One of Us is Half Without Another One is You by Branch COMPLETE

This is largely Gen and takes the original Naruto plot and fleshes it out and gives a lot more justice to the plot.  It ends up being SakuSasuNaru.

In Bond and Blood by thehoyden ONESHOT

KakaIru.  One of the few KakaIru’s I enjoyed!  

A Set-up For A Romantic Comedy by sleepyjeesh COMPLETE

KakaObi!  Super cute and I like Obito in here!

Surrender by triste ONESHOT

Dark ItaNaru!  Interesting idea though.

Your heart is a weapeon the size of your first by blackkat

ZabuNaru (rare pairing).  It’s well done because blackkat somehow makes any pairing work!

Another reincarnation story by HeavenOnFire COMPLETE

KisaIta.  Itachi is reincarnated, as well as Kisame. It’s a nice story with a good plot.  

The Grey Crayon by checkerbloom COMPLETE

MinaKaka.  Chibi!Naruto is super adorable!  The whole story is cute.  

The Way Things Are by Aini COMPLETE

ShikaNeji.  It’s a cute story and I like the pairing :)

[emalynnstone]

Naruto Fic Recs: The Sequel

Since this post seems to be my most popular, and I’ve read  more since making the first one, I figured a follow-up was necessary :) I was a little more picky adding stories in this list, so it’s shorter but guaranteed-to-be-good fics. 

Link to Part One here. 

Gen/Self-Inserts

To Shape and Change: Minato replaces Naruto. It’s adorable, maybe because I adore Minato lol. But I really enjoyed it! :) Sadly, I do think it’s abandoned, but what’s written is fabulous. 

Weight of the World: A fem!Naruto and a self-insert, but I REALLY love how the writer does the character. Also, it has pretty fabulous character development and I guess she could come off as Mary Sue… but she IS Naruto lol. Also, Kakashi has a pretty amazing role in here and I adore it for that. Seems to still be updating (keeping hope out for it anyways lol). 

Accidental Companions: Hurt/Comfort. Someone sees Naruto’s life, though he finds it hard to believe before trying to help the poor boy. Starring: Kakashi’s ninken! 

Come to the Sand Side (We Have Ramen): This is my favorite story currently. It sucked me in and I read it all in one sitting! Gaara and his siblings are adorable and I love how they handled Naruto slowly falling out of love with Konoha and the Sasuke situation. It was cute and hilarious, with ample angst! <3 Definitely rec, and, bonus, IT’S COMPLETED. And this writer is pretty fabulous too! :D 

Phoenix Rising: Features de-aged Sasuke and amazing dad!Naruto! This is utter fluff and over 300k, though I think it’s abandoned. It also has side fics and they’re also rather cute and amazing! Definitely rec giving this a read! 

Dancing with Demons: Naruto raised by demons, need I say more? Really amazing world-building and interesting characterization of Naruto. The whole nature vs. nurture thing ;) :D 

Time Travel

Chibi Ninja: The whole of Konoha 12 + Sai goes back in time and it’s utterly ridiculous but so cute. Also, I love the reactions to them haha. I read it for the fluff and the cuteness, definitely not a serious fic. Abandoned, sadly. 

Making Up For Lost Thyme: Ongoing and features BAMF Naruto and Sasuke and lots of hilarity! It’s SasuNaru, but currently gen beyond them being a cute old and married couple while still twelve lolol. I love this a LOT :D <3 

What’s the Worst That Can Happen?: I really love how this writer does Kakashi, just wanted to say that. Anyways, Naruto and Kakashi travel back to Minato’s time and it’s well-written and on-going, so I do adore this fic. 

What Once Was Will Never Be: Naruto travels back, claims his Uzumaki heritage, is adorably powerful and oblivious, and basically all my favorite time travel tropes on top of being KakaNaru. Ongoing. 

reverse: KakaNaru (of a sort), COMPLETE and LONG, and features Kurama gratuitously stealing chibi!jinchuuriki and causing wars. Really, this is utter fluff and totally amazing, I might just love this more than backslide by this writer, and that’s saying a LOT. 

The Yellow Dyad: OHMYGOODNESS. THIS. READ THIS. IF NOTHING ELSE, READ THIS. SOOOO GOOD. MinaNaru and the pairing is just the CUTEST and so PURE and Minato is just the most ADORABLE and Naruto is an utter BAMF and OHMYGOODNESS. READ THIS. Ongoing and very long <3 

Forever and a Bit: Ongoing! Naruto and Gaara time travel and they have the most pure friendship ever <3 Features a Sasuke that is peeved that Naruto doesn’t pay him enough attention ;) SasuNaru. 

Because Now I know, All My Roads Lead To You: SasuNaru; Sasuke and Naruto time travel. Features pining!Naruto and sexuallyfrustrated!Naruto lol. Oh, they also leave Konoha in a very bad-ass way, imho, and Itachi gets sense knocked into him. Definitely different from other time travels and on-going! 

Kako no Kage (Shadows of the Past): Sasuke and Naruto time travel (SasuNaru)! Their relationship is the cutest and it’s on-going! 

Mutt: Time Travel, KakaNaru, and it’s just a one-shot but well-written and adorable <3 

A Calculated Error: Features unmotivated but overpowered Sasuke and Naruto accidentally finding themselves in the time before the founding of the villages :D Sasuke and Naruto friendship <3 

Completely Undone: KakaNaru and this link is to PART ONE of the trilogy. The stories in the series are pretty long and really well-written. I have to admit, there’s some confusing story lines, but it’s pretty good and the third part is still on-going. Totally rec :) 

Cross-Overs

Harry Potter

Find Me a White Knight Cloaked in Black: This writer is fabulous. Sadly, I think this is abandoned but there’s still over 50k and it’s so well-written. Harry is a BAMF and doesn’t give a damn about anyone… or so he likes to pretend ;) 

Not Troublesome at All: Shikamaru/Harry; Shikamaru saves a Harry that crashes through the Mirror of Erised into Konoha. Sadly, abandoned, but still pretty close to finished to deserve a read! 

Sneaking Around Konoha: Kakashi/Harry. Over 99k and really well-done! Harry and Teddy move to Konoha for a peaceful existence… but we all know that just isn’t possible for Harry ;) 

Ink Deep: Complete and so cute! Neji/Harry. Really just love this. Features tattooartist!Harry

Slash

Rare Pairings

All Started With a Smell: ShikaFemNaru. I know this is under the slash section, but, you gotta read it and see, and I read it for the pairing cause I really love ShikaNaru and there’s not enough long fics for this pairing! I guess for those who might be picky, this is more het than slash, but I put it here cause of the  pairing. 

Soulmate Story Collection: All the rare pairings and just amazing deliverance on each prompt. Really amazingly well-written and I rec the other works by this writer too! :) 

To Calmer Waters: Shino/Naruto; cute and it’s very much an AU, but their relationship is the cutest thing. Really love it, it’s a friends-to-lovers type and pretty fluffy and Naruto develops really well. 

monogatari: Gaara takes a leave of absence from being Kazekage and is surprised when Naruto follows him to his hide-out. One-shot. (Btw, why is GaaNaru a rare pairing? WHY AREN’T THERE ENOUGH OF THIS PAIRING? Or have I not been looking in the right places??)

As is the Sea Marvelous: MadaTobi; I really love this pairing and there’s not enough fics for my fix. It’s blackkat who wrote this, so you know it’s going to be good and it IS. 

KakaNaru

With Nothing on My Tongue: There is hardly enough for this pairing, but this is on-going and features smart!Naruto! Slow burn as well! 

Prince of Konoha: Can I just say that I adore this one-shot? It has a different power dynamic and I think it’s slightly co-dependent, but definitely interesting and I’m hoping there’s more to this AU! Features a Naruto who was raised to become Hokage by the Sandaime 

SasuNaruSasu

Ramen With a Smile: Utterly cute one-shot. Just give it a read, you won’t regret it :D  

Flesh and Bone: I love arranged marriages and the fact that it’s SasuNaru? Love this writer btw. Long one-shot.

Cohabitation: I don’t know what it is about this one-shot, but I keep rereading it and cracking up every time. You should totally read it, if only for the laughs haha. 

Deception: This writer writes SasuNaru so well <3 I love this Modern!AU and definitely adore the way their relationship comes about! Completed! 

Corporate Secrets: A/B/O SasuNaru, modern!AU… I already know you want to read it just by that, bonus: completed. 

Predators: So…. this is a dark!Naruto and kind of a dystopian!AU. It’s tagged and has lots of warnings, but definitely worth the read. Not much fluff, but well-written and I enjoyed it! Completed. 

When Love Fades: I really love the getting back together trope, and this is angsty, for sure, but it’s well-written and Sasuke and Naruto both develop and grow. Should totally read. Bonus: completed. 

Give Us Our Daily Ramen: This is my favorite and it’s hilarious <3 You should totally read this. Features: Naruto’s friendships and his business are the highlight of this fic. Completed! 

So, I have a lot of SasuNaru bookmarks on my ao3, so I’m just going to link my Naruto bookmarks and you can search the relationships for SasuNaru… or anything else haha. You can find them all here lol. 

You can find my Harry Potter fic rec list here, if you’re in that fandom :)

Hello!

So I’ve created this account solely because of a story I wrote. Someone who read my story asked me if they could make fanart for it and asked me if I had tumblr or twitter for it, and I got excited! So my page might be bland for a while since it’s new and I’m really busy in RL, but I plan on personalizing it when I get the chance. I’m hoping to see more fanart and I’m going to add some of my own as well!
