Saw Enchanted yesterday, which was awesome, both because the movie is hysterical and because I had an awesome audience to watch it with. *hugs you guys*

Now, however, I have the theme from Beauty & The Beast in my head.

However, despite going to sleep with Mrs. Potts singing in my head, I had horrible, easy to remember, serial killer dreams last night with Sakura.

Probably because I was reading Naruto right before I got to bed and

Oh, Gaara.

Also, while it sucks that Sakura's now 'tied' to a tree, I did like how she was immediately ready to defend Sasuke. If only she'd been a little more effective.

Also, after Sasuke's little speech about 'not losing what is dear to him again....' well, I may not thing Sakura/Sasuke is an entirely doomed relationship.

Just dropping by on this past conversation to add: Have you read the fic "Transition Anchor" yet?

It's probably THE most oft-recced fic in Naruto-dom, even though it's old by now and unfinished.

In case you haven't, I'm totally stealing someone else's rec because it fits so well:

"Transition Anchor" by Chelsee (http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1656578)

A more-or-less gen fic. There's... this agonizing quality about it. It has a dry tone, and it works. We don't see very much of the daily life-to-life of Naruto characters, but this takes Naruto's life, reports it, and the reader just absolutely falls in love with the boy. You can't help but just fucking love Naruto after reading this story. I almost went mad as I read it, and I just wanted to make his life sparkle and fill it with food and love and friends.


I'd also add that the action is some of the best I've seen in fanfic, and everyone in the village is in-character, and there's this scene between Kakashi and Gai and Naruto that just KILLS me.

You probably already know this if you've read it, but if you haven't, hop to it! It's long but not that long. I wish it were a hundred chapters longer.

I put it one my to-read list.
