~Introductory Thingy~


First and foremost, WELCOME!

This is my first fanfiction. An angsty slow burn. Set in the Narutoverse and centred primarily around Nina Sarutobi (original character) & Kakashi Hatake. In saying this, plenty of the other Naruto characters make an appearance throughout the story.

Getting down to it, this is a fanfiction story. While the story takes place in the Narutoverse, I have taken several creative liberties with the original storyline.

THINGS WORTH MENTIONING:

** This is a revamp & edit of the original Holding Hands in the Rain. Because...I learnt stuff. I would hope so after writing over 300,000 words in just over a year, lol (but who's counting). For those who have read the original, there will be notable differences in both quality and content.

** This is a trilogy. This is book one of a planned three-part story. See below for THE PLAN

** I have included my original character: Nina Sarutobi.

** I have disregarded the 'Pain' and 'War' arcs. As a result, several characters are alive and well in this story, which goes against canon. (Remember when I said this is a fanfiction? Yeah-nudge, nudge.) **

** I have marked this as mature for good reasons. This story contains swearing and mature themes that may not be appropriate for some ages. Themes include (but are not limited to): swearing, death and fluff right through to heavy lemony goodness.

** I (yeah, ME) cannot tell you how much LOVE & APPRECIATE readers who actively engage with me & my story. Any time spent on hitting the FOLLOW & FAV buttonS and writing REVIEWS gives me the boost I sometimes need in the wee hours of the morning (cause y'know kids & life mean that's when I get to write).

THE PLAN:

The original Holding Hands in the Rain has been removed. Between the Raindrops are currently published-for now. This is happening due to the planned revamps of both. From there, the Third (and final instalment) will be worked on & published.

And as a bit of self-reward, I have found a talented soul who can print and bind my writing and Lesya's incredible artwork.

Just in case there were those of you about to raise your hand and ask: of course, I am aware that due to copyright, this is not something I can make money on or from. It is purely for personal use/satisfaction.

ARTWORK CREDITS:

Full credit to the artist Lesyarei for all commissioned artwork found within this fanfic. Lesyarei & her magnificent artworks can be found on multiple platforms: Instagram, deviantart, facebook, tumblr & pixiv (uncensored).

Another fanfic platform (not knocking ) is WATTPAD. There I am able to post all images-some are censored-published within the corresponding chapters. (For those interested)

DISCLAIMER:

** I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. They belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

** I do own Nina Sarutobi (OC-original character)

FINAL WORD:

Thank you, enjoy, happy reading, and much love xx
