So the final deadline for
bitter_nakano's summer exchange is TODAY. Crazy, right? Where did the summer go? And even though I'm so nervous I almost drank nail polish remover instead of coffee just now, I'm also full of warm, gooey feelings. By tonight, I will know whether we can start posting tomorrow

Thank you for the rec! I really wish someone would read all the entries (READ ALL THE FICS?) and tell me which ones not to miss. HIJACKING POST: what fics make you remember why you love this pairing? I'll start! At The End of All Things is one I can re-read ALLLLL the time. Also, this fic by sintari ♥ Oh man. (Also, Aftermathematics by someone I know.)

I...can't believe you put that up there T________T (tears of joy).
In the defense of a dark sasuke, belli and I talked the other night and most of our conversation was "Are we reading the same manga [naruto] as everyone else?" since a lot of portrayals tend to make him a bit more warm and squishy once he encounters Naruto again, and frankly we think there would be a lot of PTSD and anger between them. Choices will need to be made. A lot of the Sasuke Returns fic tends to deal with the village coming to terms with Sasuke and the council's retribution, with Naruto hung up on one thing or another, but I haven't seen many that tackle basically what they do when the memories of what they had are gone and when they realize they are adults. When the childhood romance aspect of the whole thing is used up. Because Sasuke is no more the misguided teen in need of a good roll in the hay, it's more like he's on this whole avenger schtick and it's not going ( ... )

Oh, I'm okay with Dark Sasuke, I'm just not particularly keen on reading fic about his darkness. Was Sasuke ever a misguided teen in need of a roll in the hay to "straighten him out"? In all my favorite fics, like At The End of All Things and Danica's ensemble cast fic, he was always portrayed as incredibly fucked up and fighting toward redemption. And I guess that's what I want to see, not the problem nor the solution, but the journey toward the solution. I think as twisted as Sasuke has become, the good kid he once was is still somewhere in there, and the day he wakes up to that realization is the day that he'll have to start fighting to get back to that place again. Or... something. Blah blah, journey - and you know, I'm even okay with not having Naruto actively there as part of the process, as I think this is something Sasuke needs to figure out for himself before he can face his teammates again. The village coming to terms with Sasuke, wtf is that? I mean, who ( ... )

Yummy adjectives there. What, aren't you acquainted with the concept of a kissing booth? (Will I get in trouble for saying that to you?)
Distressingly little. I quit lessons ages ago, just before I mastered the part where, you know, you can read stuff meant for people older than 5. I always require a French-picker every time I'm hit by the urge to get pretentious.
