Sturgeon's Law (Abridged): '90% of everything is crud.' These are the fanfictions that, in my opinion, lie in that narrow 10%. These are the words to be read over and over again, revealing more meaning every time I go over them again. I hope that they bring at least a fraction of that pleasure to you. Includes: 2 cups Naruto, 1 1/2 Harry Potter, a squeeze of Avatar: Last Airbender, and a dash of varied spices.
