- What happens when you find yourself asking the "if" question? - With only the very beginning of this story in my mind I decided to begin writing a long one again. I have no idea how it will develop or end, and how long will it take, but I feel like writing something messy, hard, a little darker. Let's see what happens.

"I can stop anytime I want to." My intention was never to purposely write a fluffy story because neither Shikamaru nor Temari appear to be purposely fluffy people. It's more about depicting the type of relationship I could see them having and all the things that come with it. Watch them grapple with reality and either sink or swim. Popular or not, it's all mine. I don't own Naruto.

Just a light and fluffy ShikaTema one-shot. My entry to fanofthisfiction's 'Show Me the Love' challenge.

Yoshino happens to spot Shikamaru having a meal with a blonde woman. She notices Shikamaru's interest in the woman. What happens when Yoshino takes advantage of Shikamaru's trip to the restroom and decides to confront this woman?

She had presented Sasuke an interesting proposal, knowing that in most arranged marriages one person would stray from their partner. Hinata didn't want to play the role of an ignorant or oblivious wife. But this arrangement wasn't for her sake, it was to help her family because she had long ago given up on finding love again.

The 4th Shinobi war is over. Temari and Shikamaru are struggling to go back to normal life after the devastating war. A diplomatic visit to Konoha is the chance to take a step forward on their friendship. Shikatema. Post-War. Complete.

Temari's reaction to seeing Shikamaru's hair down for the first time. My first ShikaTema fic. Please review so I know if it's good or not, thanks!

A moment of impulse leaves Temari with a lifetime of responsibility and a confession to make. A story about women, accepting the paths of life that cannot be avoided. Shikamaru, Temari, and Yoshino-centric. Three-generation Nara

ShikaTema. If there was one thing that turned Shikamaru on, it was watching Temari play shogi with him. Smutty one-shot.

And if Nature has withheld from you the sensation of pleasure, then teach your lips to lie and say you feel it all." Shikatema fluff.

AU She didn't know who he was, but read his notebook anyway. Is it possible to fall in love with someone based solely on how they write? ShikaTema One-shot Finally Edited

How much do you do for someone when you're not even in love? ShikaTem, Futurefic, Oneshot.
