hey, just a psa, today is @gokusdonut's birthday!! she's a pretty big force in the rinshi fandom and loves sasuhina very much, too, please send some hbd wishes her way!!

(this is gokusdonut. my blog won't let me ask, so i'm using this one >_>) Um, about requests, may I request a Leo/Sakura drabble showing each other something about their cultures? Like chess/shogi, music, or dancing, etc?

“What’s that?” 

Sakura jumps, her practice interrupted. Of course, it had been her own fault for having her koto carried to the wooden porch so she could play in the nice weather. She’d just expected that Prince Leo of Nohr would be in a serious meeting or a tense negotiation or some sparring match with one of her brothers; anything that suited his personality better than walking the palace grounds like he, too, enjoyed being idle on summer days. 

It’s been two years since Ryouma and King Xander signed the peace treaty, but the first time one of the Nohrian royals has come to Hoshido personally. (She was glad to see which one, when he’d stepped from the carriage: not as frightening as Xander, not as loud as Elise; subtle and always ready with a kind word for her, last she saw him.) 

Leo has grown taller. The white sunlight flashes golden against the hint of stubble on his jaw. Completely unprepared for company, Sakura fumbles to answer as he comes up the stone pathway toward her.

“It’s a koto,” she finally manages. “A very traditional instrument. I’ve been playing since I was a child.”

“May I?” 

She nods out of knee-jerk reflex and he sits beside her, narrowing his eyes at the strings. Here and there he plucks one with long fingers and then scrunches his face, dissatisfied. 

“Your technique is good,” she stammers, watching his hands.

“Cello,” he says, as if that explains everything, and then he picks out a scale and makes a noise of triumph. 

“That was so fast!” Awed, Sakura claps her hands together once before she stops, remembering what a childish habit that is. “You’re so clever, Prince Leo,” 

It’s such a stupid, simpering thing to say, but she thinks it’s important to pay compliments she truly feels in her heart. He must feel her sincerity, because the smile he gives her is softer than usual. 

“It makes a lovely sound,” he says. “If it’s not an imposition…would you teach me a little, while I’m here on business? I promise I am a diligent student.” 

It’s no imposition. But of course, Prince Leo. Though my skills are still lacking, I will try my best. She shakes her head and takes a deep breath. Come on, Sakura. 

“It would be my pleasure,” she answers, and this time they both smile.

I though the unnecessary Sasuhina ship bashing was over, and then Neefa and I posted our fic, only for this to happen. (Also, we didn't even write smut, so IDK why the 'delusional virgin' thing is necessary??)

I would like once more to get back into the groove of writing. I originally stopped because I was stressing from school and financial circumstances, but I realize now that writing is what kept me sane for most of that time, even if I sparingly did it.

Now, to those that follow me @gokusdonut, I'm accepting requests if you're interested. Inbox me at either of my blogs to request a fic (though I prefer this one because gokusdonut's tagging system is busted). The ships I have a pretty good handle on are mentioned in the tag, but I'll make an exception depending on what it is. I do NOT write NSFW.

Inbox me with a ship and a simple plot, and I'll try to spit out a fic. If you can't think of a plot, you can search through my tag gokusdonut.tumblr.com/tagged/au-ideas. There's no guarantee that I'll do them all, if any at all, but I'll do my best.

NaruHina - Kindergarten Teacher/Parent AU

Now, to be perfectly clear, Naruto Uzumaki truly had no idea what adopting the hurting, hopeless Sasuke Uchiha was supposed to entail; he knew only that his heart was what ultimately guided the enormous decision, as well as the brooding orphan’s subsequent enrollment into Miss Hyuuga’s kindergarten class at Konoha Elementary. 

Hinata looks at him now, all soft smiles and soft eyes, before saying kindly, “You know, for a single parent, I must say that you’ve done quite the amazing job.” 

A blush creeps its way up Naruto’s neck, and he smiles bashfully, unable to comprehend this one compliment among a myriad of criticisms that he’s received over the past few months; he struggles to look Hinata in the eye, stammering instead, “Y–yeah? Gee, I– I didn’t think I was that good but I guess I was bound to get something right. Right?” 

Give me two characters and an AU setting, and I will write you a three sentence fic!

I haven’t been on tumblr much today, but I’m in the middle of great conversations with some awesome friends which I will continue once I have time to be on here, just a heads up so I don’t seem like I’m dropping the conversation, because I’ll reply later/tonight most likely!

[flowerofmayhem-personal]

I have like…no motivation to reply right now ;^; so sorry to my cool friends I was talking to through Tumblr’s IM, I’ll continue talking once my motivation returns but I was having such a great time talking!.

gokusdonut replied to your post “#shipping fumi with self-reliance” neefa i 100% AGREE”

pfft. i love how confident and self-reliant she is (though, honestly, her naivete irritates me half the time). she would definitely do fine on her own, especially since boys weren't even on her radar.

i feel like if aioi hadn’t stupidly asked “oooh do you L I KE sensei???” she wouldn’t have leaned so much towards considering that she liked him. she may have thought, ‘oh, maybe i’m having these feelings because no one’s cared for my well being so much before. it’s almost like having a dad.’ but idk. i just check in on the manga every now and then i honestly dont care for it much
