Title: Hopelessly
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Kabuto/Sasuke (?/Sasu, implied Oro/Sasu)
CD & Song: Absolution, “Endlessly” by Muse
Rating: Mature.
Notes: This is pretty much open for interpretation/assumption. The POV is Sasuke’s, so Kabuto’s motives are unclear. I was just playing around with the hurt/comfort cliché and the hopeless addiction it creates.

Part I: The City

Part II: The Rain

I didn’t think much of the Uchiha. I don’t really want to. It’s bad enough to be found looking for service by an old classmate, but when the classmate is a provider himself, then things just go to hell in a handbasket. It turns out to be a case of don’t ask, don’t tell. But of course, we asked. Things always get complicated from there.

( The cash he left on the dashboard stayed there for two days until I decided it wasn’t worth having my window smashed in for.Collapse )

Title: Golgotha
Author: kissing_off
Fandom/Pairing: Naruto (Sasuke-centric)
Word Count: 751
Summary: The former inhabitants of the Village of the Sound are vengeful and their memories are dangeriously catching up with Sasuke.

Golgotha
n: A place or occasion of great suffering.
n: A heap of skulls; something skull-shaped.
n: A hill near Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified.


Sasuke doesn’t believe at first but by the fifth week he’s beginning to.

He wakes up one night and there is a pale boy across his room – staring with cold green eyes.

Sasuke’s first reaction is to throw the kunai under his pillow and dive for kusanagi. But, by the time the sword is drawn and the kunai has embedded itself in the opposite wall, the room is empty. It still leaves Sasuke on edge and he pulls the katana into the bed with him, his eyes wide for the rest of the night.

( Then there is the music, the soft melody of a single flute.Collapse )

Title: Wonderwall
Author: kissing_off
Fandom/Pairing: Naruto (Lee/Sasu, Naru/Saku if you squint)
Word Count: 962
Notes: Lee is so HARD to write! (Hopefully this is IC.) Also: the time periods are kind of screwy, but they should be understandable... and information on the legend mentioned can be found here.
Enjoy!

( The pale pads of his fingers press against the glass...Collapse )

“Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

“Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now…”

“Wonderwall” by Oasis.

Title: Passed Over
Author: kissing_off
Fandom/Pairing: Naruto (Ino/Naruto, hinted Sasu/Saku)
Word Count: 190
Notes:
I asked a friend of mine to name off two Naruto characters and a random word. He said Ino and Naruto, as for the word, it was "screw" (noun). Here's my rendition...

---

She calls him in – not because she could not fix the problem herself but because she doesn’t want to. And he smiles, and he accepts, crouching down on the floor, among the fresh cut tulips and day lilies.

( “You have a very pretty shop,” he says as he sets the leg into place and hinges together the next one. Collapse )
