Yeah I made a mistake and that mistake was opening myself to the possibility of hyperfixating on Obito, and now we're Here and Here is "a ridiculously long AU idea involving ninja politics, ninja politics: Kirigakure edition, Orochimaru Turned Himself Into A Snake Because He's Trans, knowing way too much about how sea critter physiology could translate into humans because of years of mermaid AUs, Kushina Not Taking Shit, how to have a long distance relationship over a shared eyeball, and Nael's Faves Not Dying."
Okay there (warning for canon typical violence and canon typical disturbing content) to be updated every wed until i run out of shit
@Starcrossedsky Ah this is so good! What a clever idea behind the whole thing! And really, I'm super excited!
anyway do you ever stop and consider that Gaara's janky seal wouldn't have been such a problem if the last remaining Uzumaki seal master hadn't died the year he was born Kushina probably could have gone to Suna and fixed that baby right up and then gone home, but, unfortunately
I was gonna ask in fic recs but I think I might get better results here: would anyone mind linking me some good gaara centric fic? Or literally anything that majorly includes him that explores his character better than Angry Sand Boy?
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2824034 Mind the word count -- it's fuckoff huge. I genuinely don't remember why it's rated Explicit; it's not smut. Probably there's like 2 sex scenes somewhere in it. I remember the Gaara content very clearly -- better than pretty much anything else -- but I can't guarantee that it's like, a majority of the fic, just that it left an impression.
Fun fact: I found it by searching for complete Naruto fics with characters Gaara and Lee and then sorting by highest word count.
@Deresto https://archiveofourown.org/works/20004604/chapters/47365060 "with no plans or, ultimately, resources past his arguably faulty knowledge of how everything came to happen, Gaara is sent back to the past to change the future as he knows it" It's time travel fic, which I don't know if it is your jam, but it's an interesting view into Gaara and his trauma.
@Raire I've been reading lots of Sakura time travel fic and really enjoying it actually! I've been reading lots of Sakura fic in the genre, so with gaara instead sounds like a load of fun :DDD
Yesss Sakura fix things via time travel fics are really fun! I should... probably bookmark those huh, because I'll want to reread them sometime
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4224750 more gaara time travel https://archiveofourown.org/works/6299353 gaara and karin go to naruto china - have NOT read this myself but found it via my usual method of looking at the bookmarks of people who bookmark my fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/22232608 canon compliant naruto/gaara, mostly soft https://archiveofourown.org/works/11592624 gaara AND naruto time travel [two million words of naruto fanfiction a month voice] and i've also read raire's rec and support it
aaaaaaa i went 2 months without posting a thing and then poster 2 chapters in 2 days, also i forgot to show it off on kintsugi basic premise is "what if naruto was deaf and 3/4 feral", but with a heavy dose of "i don't care what kishimoto says, stupid shit like this has lasting consequences that go way beyond a sob-story and a few dramatic fight scenes" link if anyone wants to read, and mind the tags because oof
