It's been a little while. You doing okay? If you've gotten writers block, fear not. It may be a mountain but you will conquer it. If life has taken over that's completely understandable, too. There are more important things than fandoms and fics. Life happens, and writing a beast like Headlock takes a toll. I do hope you haven't lost hope though and wish you all the best. I'm patiently, but eagerly, waiting to read more of your work regardless. The story you create is so worth the wait! I hope to see Akina and Kakashi reunited soon! Or even some domestic fluff from the sequel if thats easier for you! Wishing you the best! 🤍💙🤍

BABES😭 this has been sitting in my ask box for so long and i feel so bad for not responding!

life got a little hectic recently❤️‍🩹 a family member of mine passed in late august and it deeply upset the dynamic of life for my family and so i’ve been going through a lot of adjustments! i also started a new job a week after, so that on top of figuring out a lot of stuff has been really taxing😭

i’m just rereading headlock now and getting back into the grove of writing! i’m hoping to update soon, but honestly i can’t make any promises😭 the reason i was able to update headlock so much before was because i had no job and too much free time when i wasn’t applying for jobs lol

but! hopefully updates are on their way! it’s also taken me awhile to update because i want to be true and authentic to akina and her story and this next chapter is going to be HEAVY and hopeful and just all the emotions because our girl is going to get out and reunite with kakashi🥺

seriously though, thank you for all the love and support! i’ve watched all the comments that get added to headlock and i am just blown away constantly by all the love that this fic has gotten, so thank you thank you😭 truly i wouldn’t be able to do it without support from y’all; you don’t know how much it means to me to get appreciation on this fic! so just a big thank you from me to all of you!

here’s to more akina x kakashi soon💗

1st: your writing style! Ooof your writing style is so scrumptious and totally up my alley. It's rare to find writers like you. The detail! The angst! The slowwwww burnnnn! ❤️‍🔥 Your prose is so evocative!

2nd: your version of Kakashi is so so good. Seriously! Everyone has their own versions of him that are alittle different but I love the way you fleshed him out here. The smug smiles and amused gazes. Aloof but not overly so. You know he cares but he shows it alittle differently than others. Ugh I can't wait for him to reunite with Akina you crushed my soul with that fake trail woman. 😭 I can't wait to see the underlying romance surface bit by bit. But I'm all aboard the angst train for these two idiots.

3rd: “Gai, I don’t even know what we are.” He beamed. Full wattage. “Friends!” he announced. “Who will one day understand they are more than friends!” 🥺🥺😏😏😭😭 Okay this line is so good. I love love love how you write every character in this story! From the jonin to genin! Jiraiya and Naruto's comments about Kakashi and Akina get me everytime. 😂 I love it.

4th: Akina. AKINA. She's one of my favorite OCs I've come across. Perfect for Kakashi. I can't wait to see where you take this, especially for shippuden!

5th: okay this sequel!!?? I'm begging for more. Please. I NEED more domestic Kakashi and Akina. 😍 It's like a reward for reading through all the pain. 🥲 Aaaand I'm pretty sure there's more pain of some sort as we make our way through headlock. 🤨

Anyway, this writing is exquisite and wonderful and oh so captivating. Truly. Thanks so much for sharing this with the world. I eagerly look forward to updates on both stories! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

the way i have stared at this ask for DAYS. DAYS! BECAUSE IT STUNNED ME SO!😭

oh my god, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!💗

i am SO SO SO HAPPY that you have enjoyed and loved headlock so much!!

and my writing style😭 and how i portray kakashi😭 and the genin/jonin characters (which are so much fun to write lmao)😭 AND AKINA MY LOVE😭 and the sequel which i questioned posting heavily??😭 the fact that you love them all???😭 comments like these make me ASCEND

SO THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS IN😭😭😭

i can’t wait for you to see kakashi and akina reunite too! and we are SO CLOSE! literally this next chapter!!!! i really hope it lives up to everyone’s expectations😭

and i’m recovering from some jet lag, but hopefully said chapter will be posted in the next week or so!!

honestly it’s more likely for you guys to get the fluffy second chapter of the sequel next since the fluff is a little easier to write than the angsty chapter of akina escaping and coming home and reuniting with our mans kakashi😭

AND YOU LIKED THE SEQUEL!😭 and you’re right…. there may or may not be another few BIG angsty plot lines of absolute PAIN in headlock coming up even after all the devastation of the akatsuki captivity arc🥸

but ironically, you actually will be getting domestic akina x kakashi in headlock right after they reunite, so it will be double whammy of domesticity between headlock and the sequel for you to enjoy😌

It seems like I have gotten attached to this story more than I thought I would. I swear if you ever abandon this fic I will never forgive you, I will hunt you down (affectionate).

AFFECTIONATELY HUNT ME DOWN!? if you must😭

but I SWEAR! i have NOT abandoned this fic! i fear i may have suffered the ao3 curse because i had to move back home after living in another country for the last six months😵‍💫 so i have been too busy to write these past few weeks! BUT! once my jet lag wears off, i swear i will be back on writing headlock😭 hopefully new chapter this week or next? i won’t make any promises, but it will be out soon!!

and on the topic of cross posting? idk, i think my chapters might be too long to post on tumblr… so for right now i’m going to keep posting solely on ao3😭 but i totally get it, that ao3 crash had us all devastated😭

I HOPE YOU ENJOY MORE EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION

okay honestly, i haven’t actually watched road to ninja🫣 i’ve seen a few clips and i kind of know what happens, so i dont really know!! i know kakashi has like, guy’s personality in road to ninja, right??

i actually have no idea how akina would be different😵‍💫

however, i HAVE thought intensely about what her dream would be in infinite tsukuyomi and it will bring tears when we get to that point in headlock😭

because in her perfect world, everyone is alive🥲

her parents, sakumo, obito, rin, minato, kushina, itachi, shisui, the uchiha clan, EVERYONE

and in infinite tsukuyomi akina and kakashi are essentially not as traumatized and are still deeply in love😭 and they have like four different dinner nights they go to every week even though they’re both introverts lmao

one with her parents, one with sakumo, one with kushina and minato, and one with the uchiha boys😂

Just wondering, do you have an update schedule for it?

Sincerely, someone who stayed up till 3 a.m reading it.

i’m sobbing because this is both so nice and also hilarious oh my god😭

DON’T ASK ME TO HURT YOU MORE

but yeah i will because the angst is already planned out lmao

ANYWAYS! unfortunately no i dont have a schedule🥲 i kind of just write and update based on when i feel like it. but trust me, i’m thinking about headlock DAILY and i try to write everyday too

BUT if you like fluff too, i have a sequel to headlock that i published literally yesterday that’s akina and kakashi post-war arc🥺 it’s called can’t take it in! so if you need just a little something to hold you over until chapter 32 comes out, i would go read it!! it’s soft. it’s them in love. it’s what they deserve after everything that has (and will) happen in headlock.

so uh. remember headlock? that ongoing kakashi slow burn fic where everything hurts and akina’s currently chained up in an akatsuki cave? yeah. that one.

well. i accidentally wrote the post-war domestic sequel. and now it’s live.

its four years later. it’s soft. it’s slow. it’s healing.

kakashi is hokage. akina is alive. they are very much in love and very bad at resting. but they’re trying.

yes, headlock is still being updated (i promise)

yes, this sequel contains some spoilers for what’s to come in headlock

yes, i needed to emotionally recover while writing the trauma fic, and this is how i coped 😌

if you’re caught up on headlock, come bask in the forehead kisses and post-war peace 🫶

title inspired by “Can’t Take It In” by Imogen Heap, because i’m legally bound to name every fic after a song i love

but also i’m confused… spoilers for KPDH!🫣

over 8,300 hits??? 256 kudos??? 117 comments??? 68 bookmarks???

i am just so grateful that headlock has gotten so much love🥺 it just started as a fun little creative outlet for me after sitting on this fic idea since i first watched naruto four years ago. and now it’s grown so fast!

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou

i can’t tell yall thank you thank you enough!!

and i swear i’m working on the next chapter!!! it is coming soon!! the next chapter is another kakashi POV and it’s been a lil difficult to write because i have a specific vision in mind and writing it has just been… bleh. i haven’t been feeling it. i’ve honestly written more for the reunion chapter (which comes next) than i have for chapter 32🙃 probably because i also just want them to reunite already but trust me, this next chapter is needed in kakashi’s headlock journey😭

but while you wait for the next chapter, feel free to drop your akina x kakashi headcanons below! it can be akina x kakashi, or just akina or kakashi headcanons for headlock! i just love hearing your thoughts on the two of them🥺 and who knows! i can maybe confirm them for you guys based on what i’ve got planned for those two;)

again, thank you for all the love on headlock💗 next chapter coming soon!

someone sent me this ask and tumblr blocked the picture because it was ‘too distressing’. and honestly? valid😂

BUT BESTIE @yoozuku HERE I AM READY TO RESPOND
