Just to give everyone the huge warning, I am an engineer. Therefore, if my writing lacks a creative flair or just plain sucks, you know why.

I usually use music to help inspire the mood of a story, so here are "Soundtracks" to go with some of my fics:

Sakura's Gift: A two-part bittersweet Valentine's Day/White Day inspiration for SasuSaku.

Fic inspired by: "Like You" from The Open Door by Evanescence (track 8 Full Video Clip)

Lingering Glances: A Hanabi/Neji fanfic. "There isn't another who has received such thick Hyuuga blood...watch closely, Hanabi." Never did I know at the age of 7 how those words would form the path that my feet would inevitably choose to follow.

Theme songs:
Part 1. "Duvet" by Boa (acoustic) Full Video Clip
Part 2. "Criminal" by Fiona Apple Full Video Clip

A Strong Wind

I didn't want to take time in figuring out a plotline for a chaptered fic, so I wanted to try my hand at a dramatic one-shot. Hopefully that's how it turned out. I think I like it, but it's really hard to judge your own work. Thanks for reading!

Song used for inspiration: "Arcadia" from Vision of Escaflowne (track 2 of OST#3 Short Clip - it's the last song in the video, after the dog has attacked the lincoln log village...it was the best I could find)

What Words Can't Say

I had a dream a while where Sasuke and Sakura had secret meetings under a tree like those in the Forest of Death and just had to get the story out. This is the first time I've actually even attempted to write anything outside of an English class, and I very much appreciate specific criticisms.
