The Only Couple In The Park That Doesn't Have To Fear Muggers

[redbrunja]

So, my mom and I are giving Gargoyles a rewatch. It's almost as good as Avatar in the made-for-children, good-enough-for-adults way and I remember an insane amount of detail from when I first watched it at eight. Like, I remember specific scenes in great detail. It's really fun watching it with my mother, who has quite the eye for little details. "Why doesn't he just through that guy off the castle? Why do all the bad guys keep missing when they shoot?" Me: "Children's cartoon mom, children's cartoon.

Also, from this week's fannish5 :

Name your favorite character's five favorite books.

I picked Hatake Kakashi, because he was the easiest of my favorite characters to come up with favorite books for. I would do Sumire, but I don't know enough of Japanese literature and pop culture to do her justice.

5.) Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence

4.) The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

3.) That really good book about the Vietnam triage nurse that I read at least five times but can't remember the exact title and amazon is being unhelpful.

2.) Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie

1.) Icha Icha Tactics by Jiriaya

Dishonorable mention: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. This was the most terrifying book Kakashi has ever read and made him beyond grateful that Sasuke never loved Sakura back, that Sakura went to the Fifth for training and that none of them lived in Rain country.

Read this, for Deidara/Sakura:

It's cuttingly in character for both Deidara and Sakura and is my canon for them. Bonus points? It is the one Atakuki captures Sakura for nefarious purposes that I think works.

As for Itachi/Sakura.... I used to have a 'I'll read it if it's there' attitude until I realized that not even authors I otherwise like write it in character.

Well... Genma WAS one of the moderators for the chuunin exam. It'd make sense for him to moderate a spat between two friends... especially if it meant not having to come downstairs to find Kakashi shaving with a kunai and a mirror he stole from Sakura's compact.

Oh, it totally would. And I really like the idea of Kakashi having to shave with kunai in the hallway.

Ooo... thanks for the rec! Will read ASAP.

And to make it even worse for Kakashi... he doesn't have his wallet on him, so the only way he can do his laundry is if he "accidentally" tosses it in with Yamato's at the laundromat.

Ha, ha, ha! Oh, Kakashi. Although, seriously - you're a ninja. I'm sure he could find a way to get his wallet back. Unless Sakura was carrying it around with him. In which case, yeah, he's going to be mooching off Yamato a lot. Which is only fair, since it's Yamato's fault this happened in the first place.

If ONLY he had been tapping hot widow ass, Kurenai wouldn't be sexually frustrated and Sakura wouldn't be annoyed with me right now. Pass the laundry soap.

Also, please tell me what you think of the fic - if you like it, there is an awesome sequel as well.
