Random fic repost.

[sarolynne]

So I realized that I wrote this fic for myrafur in a gift exchange, and I never posted it in my journal or linked to it. I wanted to reread it, and ended up finding it on the comm where it was posted.

And decided to change that.

Warnings: Naruto/Neji, adult content but nothing graphic, adult language, hurt/comfort, character death, a bunch of myrafur's kinks,

:) Beautiful in a hurty sort of way, and very Neji. I really, REALLY enjoyed this, not least because the end seems to be infused with hope born from all the warmth of Naruto's personality. XD

Thank you! It's nice to hear that. I liked this one pretty well on the reread.

[sarolynne]

Thank you. XD

So I opened this link and then my mother distracted me for about ten minutes. When I finally clicked back over, I had set the page so the first line was right at the top, no distractions.

That was a funny line and one hell of an attention getter.

Apparently Myra's husband read it over her shoulder and it got his attention too. He was actually the one who said it was the best opening line ever. XD

Oh yah....didn't even see that xD

Wandered over here from askerian's post. *wave*

I unfortunately don't have much intelligible to say. Just. Gyuh. The emotions here. I loved the introspective look at Neji. Oh god Lee. Mention of his death made me ridiculously sad, for all that it was only a small part of the fic as a whole. Neji seemed just very authentic. His emotions aren't pretty and poetic. They're messy and bleak and cynical and beautiful in their own way.

"What will you do when it's me?"

That line was just chilling. I think I actually did even shiver a little when I read it.

It was a pressure, an expression, something just ugly enough to match what he felt, and just nice enough to make him feel better about doing it.

And this. I'm not sure I can even describe why I love this sentence so much. I'm a huge fan of duality, I guess. Because things are hardly ever simple or fit into just one category.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was pretty happy with the way that turned out.

Pffft. Somehow I missed that she'd pimped it. She would.

Found the link to this in Asuka's journal...

This is wonderfully written - I love how the first line makes it seem like it will be an odd form of smutfic, but it's so much more than that, and I think the fact that it's not graphic either is a good thing. I really like how you wrote Neji here... and the ending was superb.
