Title: Only The Bold
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Summary:

Hatake Kakashi gazed around the teachers' break room with a mix of humor and bittersweet fondness. Asuma flopped back on the futon in the corner with a grunt and lay like a sack of potatoes. His neck was covered in bee stings from when he'd pulled Chouji out of a poorly selected hiding place. Guy had a fringe of singed hair and only half an eyebrow from The Notorious Paper Bomb Incident. Kakashi would mock, but he himself had a bandage across the bridge of his nose where Naruto had stomped his face running from a carnivorous rabbit.

They all looked considerably worse than the kids, in fact.

I noticed the girls all seemed to fall behind once the kids were doing real missions as Genin. Turns out Kakashi did, too.

Hello and happy New Year!

I'm extremely late for my SGA Santa (John/Rodney, PG). If anyone is available tomorrow to beta, that would be much appreciated. I'll have the first draft finished tonight.

And then I'll be able to read the fic written for me. :D

I also have three Naruto Shippuden fics ISO a beta, if there's any interest:

- A comic Shikamaru/Temari piece, PG-13 but with much nudity. ~4k words

- A Sasuke ficlet. PG, Gen. 700 words. Based when he's approached by the Akasuki.

- An epistolary post-Shippuden canon (not Boruto or the films), PG. ~3k words
Sasuke trying to piece himself back together. Naruto tries, Kakashi tries, but it's Sakura who makes headway into his self-absorption. Sasuke/Naruto, Sasuke/Kakashi, Sasuke/Sakura.

My favorite Naruto characters are Naruto, Kakashi, and Shikamaru (and Akamaru). Love the warm and compassionate Iruka, too. But for some reason, like Naruto, I can't help but try to fix what's broken in Sasuke.
