2: Taiyougakure, village hidden in the sun. (Alternative title: Fuck the Moon she’s a Bitch and we Hate her.)- Naruto, time travel

Kaguya kind of won in the end. There’s a good chunk of survivors, none of them civilian and all of them together not nearly enough to pose a threat to the rabbit goddess. They have no chance at all, not now.

But what about before?

The surviving ninja travel back in time to the warring clans period, when the Senju and Uchiha are still at each other’s throats, because that’s when Zetsu is active enough to be tracked but not yet on guard enough to look for them.

There’s not a bee in a hurricane’s hope of Konoha being born any time soon — maybe one day but that day isn’t close enough, and our time traveling shinobi want need a village. You know, a base of operations.

And where else can they hide from the eyes of the moon but in the light of the sun?

Meanwhile, rumor’s been going around of some very… peculiar ninja, of late. They’re strangely friendly in a somewhat intimidating way, will do odd jobs if you have the money for it or a good enough sob story, and they’re scary skilled. There’s too many that look different from the others that you can’t pin them down to any specific known ninja clan, but they all do have something in common: they wear forehead protectors with a sun motif carved into the metal plate, and they absolutely, with all their passionate, furious hearts, despise. the fucking. moon.

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  –   what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

Not writing much these days sadly, but my biggest ongoing project is still the Flip the Coin series. I’m excited to put more of it out there but it’s getting harder and harder to build up the plot - I’m scared I’ll forget something or change my mind, it’s the drawback of publishing chapters as they are written.

2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

Answered once here but here’s another bit.

Naruto took a step forward. And Sasuke, Sasuke took a step back.

Flip the Coin - chapter 18

I like this whole scene in Wave Country. It was one I came up with long before I was anywhere near this arc and I was glad I made it to this point. I’ve been really enjoying writing those really dramatic, time-stopping moments.

5. What character that you’re writing do you most identify with?

Don’t know what it says about me, but I’ve particularly enjoyed writing Jiang Cheng from MDZS. We have next to nothing in common, yet I relate to his struggles as a sibling, not because we share the same but... because he has them? If it makes sense? And they’re pretty defining for him. My relationship with my siblings is a big part of my identity, both in good and bad ways, and they’re also the strongest I have - no romance for me either. So I like that it’s such a focus for his character, as it rarely is, since friendship but especially romance usually rates higher.

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

I have so many of them lmao and I need y’all to know that it may feel to you that I ramble in my endnotes but I’m actually restraining myself cause I could write notes longer than the chapters themselves.

One thing I don’t think anyone noticed but that matter to me is that in Flip the Coin, Haku is never gendered where we’re in Naruto’s POV. Naruto assumes Haku’s a girl at first, and Haku answers “I’m not” without elaborating further. I felt like Naruto falling back on gender-neutral pronoun wouldn’t really fit in there, since there is little evidence that this is a thing in their world or something he would be aware of (though I don’t exclude working it in the fic at some point), so I dodged it by skipping pronouns altogether. Only from Naruto’s POV though - other characters think of Haku as a “he” and don’t question it, but I like to headcanon Naruto as less aware of gender binary than the average, since it wouldn’t have been reinforced to him as much as others as a kid. On account of him not being raised by anyone lol.

So yeah, it’s a small thing, but it’s there. Naruto in general tends to not assume the gender of the people he meets - not as much as the other characters do at least.

I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed the new spike of Naruto/Shikamaru content! 

Special thanks to @kr15xxx @eternal-survivor @elysianseraph @angels0dance @dancibayo, (I was Fallequeen2) for creating such wonderful content! 

I wouldn't mind hearing ur ideas, I just don't remember what fic u write and you don't have ur account anywhere. I know I read at least one of them since I followed you.

Thanks for sending this!!💛💛💛😊😊😊 I’m super sorry for answering this late!!:((( This is from the sith consort au fic:

They’re laying in bed when Obi-Wan asks, “What were you like when you were younger?” Obi-Wan asks.

Padme looks over at him waiting for his answer. And it’s such an innocent question but it still catches him off guard.

He thinks about Tatooine and he mourns. Mourns for the child he had been—the one who once believed in the magic of the Jedi and the stardust wishes. Mourns for the person he might have been had things been different.

I was gonna write an entire essay in response to this but every time I can’t think of where to start. There’s just way too much to touch on and I’m not feeling very eloquent at the moment, so…
