A/N: Holidays have ruined my update schedule, so today's a plot bin day for everyone, sorry. Would anyone like an update on Christmas Eve/Christmas? If not. I'll be off.
I need to know, and quickly. So here we go. The fate of this story depends on you, the reader. Your feedback determines the fate of this tale, and many others.
As ever, I own no quotes, references, themes or memes. Not a wit or one. They're tributes, one and all.
I'm just a humble author trying to make his way in this wild world, one word at a time.
Time and feedback will determine if this should become a story. Simple as that.
In other words...everything is up to YOU, the reader. Do let me know~!
Teaser is a teaser.
"I can feel you staring at me...

Whatever Comes Our Way (Teaser)
Shadowheart watched him like a hawk.
Like a baby hawk, really.
Adorable.
Naruto took some mild amusement in her suspicions as he cut down another goblin with a sweep of his hand, shortening them by a head. Vile little things. No hope for redemption, ether. He'd tried to talk one down and nearly gotten himself shanked for it. One had even managed to put an arrow in Karlach's thigh. After that, he wasn't taking any chances.
Only good goblin was a dead goblin, in his opinion. Gotta protect those thighs.
"And nothing else, right?" Kurama chuckled, bringing a fresh surge of heat his cheeks. "Surely you don't have any other...motivation?"
Rolling his eyes, he caught a Goblin by the skull and squeezed before pivoting to mow another down with a rasengan. Thankfully he managed to avoid getting their greasy guts on himself, this time. Just thinking of it made him shudder and nearly caused him to mistime a dodge. His outfit still reeked from the last mistake he'd made.
"Yuck. Nasty little things. Gonna need a bath in the nearest river after this...
"Better be a cold one. Maybe you can invite your barbarian for a dip...
"Aw, shaddap...
Still, suspicion aside, their battered cleric acquitted herself well. She helped keep Karlach in one piece and the rest of their party aside. Or perhaps that was Alfira's work..
Rounding a bend, he heard a a curious banging coming from a nearby barn.
His brow furrowed upon it.
Were there people inside? Were they trying to escape?!
Against his better judgement- and ignoring Karlach's warning!- he marched to the doors and kicked them open.
Errors were made, and they were his. He immediately regretted his decision.
Naruto recoiled, covering his face with one hand, but it was too late.
The ghastly spectacle had been burned into his brain.
"My eyeeeeeeeeees!"
A/N: If you know the scene you know the scene.
Well? Should this remain a story? Yay or nay, what say you? Not much else to say this time 'round. Reviews keep me writing, and without them, my inspiration falls flat. Ever bit of feedback helps. Pain hurts. Pain hurts a loooot. But silence from readers and reviewers? That hurts even more. As ever, reviews keep this old man alive during these dark and crazy times.
Seriously, we're all locked away anyways these days, feedback is all that sustains me.
So in the Immortal Words of Atlas... Review...Would You Kindly?
No previews this time; I haven't the heart for them...T_T
