Major Works

You Must Believe in Spring: NARUTO/In Progress
AU/Post-canon time-skip

Named after a song of the same title, this story takes place in a quasi AU setting. It takes place in Konoha generations after the current Naruto series. The 5 Great Nations and the surrounding areas are now the Allied Shinobi Nations, and the Allied Shinobi Force (ASF) is the international peacekeeping force. ANBU is the secret service/counter terrorism arm of the international organization, and the Konoha Divison is known for its outstanding members.

With a deadly biological threat targeting shinobi on the horizon, Dr. Haruno Sakura has been thrown into the secretive world of ANBU and back into the world of the man who walked out of her life five years ago. Uchiha Sasuke was instrumental in destroying SOUND and ROOT, but his greatest challenge yet might be working with the woman he left behind, but never managed to forget.

Deciding that his two best friends are what is missing from each other's lives, Agent Uzumaki Naruto has made it his personal mission to undo the damage of five years gone by, and has enlisted the aid of Huyga Hinata to rebuild the bridges long left behind. Although she is new to ANBU, Hinata knows about living in a world of secrets, more so than any of her friends could possibly imagine.

Side note: The chapter names are (mostly) titles of songs by Michael Legrand; composer of "You Must Believe in Spring."

Pairings: Multipairing story. I am afraid I don't have the attention span to dedicate an entire story to only one pairing exclusively. The pairings have to evolve over time, kids. Sorry. You'll just have to believe me when I say the story will be a Sasuke x Sakura/Naruto x Hinata one. Come along for the ride.

Current pairings:

Sasuke x Sakura (they're working on it; give them time) vs. Neji x Sakura (what, you think Sasuke should have an easy time of it? heck no!)
Naruto x Hinata (hasn't started yet) Shikamaru x Temari (but they are really private about that sort of stuff, so don't bug them about it.)
Pairings in the works/Under Construction: Konohamaru x Hanabi (maybe, who knows) Kiba x Tenten or Neji x Tenten. Depends who brings their A Game!

Past Pairing: Gaara x Sakura (Note the PAST part.)

Double or Nothing: NARUTO/In Progress
AU/Modern day setting

Captain Kakashi is gunned down on the front steps of the Konoha Police Department. As his life hangs in the balance, his officers rush to find his assailants, and bring them to justice. Kakashi's team must now navigate a grueling investigation rife with unexpected turns. Luckily for him, his band of officers includes a fiercely tenacious markswoman, a brilliant tactician, a loyal K-9 specialist, an intuitive interim Captain, and Naruto.

This is the first of what I hope will be a series of KPD stories.

The Mechanics of Law: Naruto/Sequel to Force Majeure/In Progress
Modern AU Law Student Neji/Mechanic Tenten

Huyga Neji is in his third and final year of law school. His goals include graduating with honors (that's a given), committing to his next internship, and enjoying his relationship with Tenten.
Tenten is a full-time mechanic and a part-time student. Her goals include finishing the coursework Ibiki needs her to finish (that's a given), helping Nartuo move to Konoha before Temari kills him, and enjoying her relationship with Neji.
But with new adventures on the horizon, there are always choices to be made, and the chance of people being left behind.

Cast: Neji, Tenten, Ibiki, Gai, Lee, Genma, Naruto and bunch of others :)
Pairings: NejiTen, NaruHina, ShikaTema and a few surprises

Twelve Steps to You: Inuyasha/Complete
Modern AU Therapist!Sango/Addict!Miroku

Miroku has always loved women, and it's almost always gotten him in trouble. This time it's landed him in therapy with a therapist that gives an entirely different meaning to being a "knockout."Dr. Sango Taijiya has never been lucky in love,and it's just her luck that she finds herself increasingly attracted to a charming, handsome patient-who happens to be a recovering sex addict.
Cast: Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Sango, Kohaku, Rin and more
Pairings: Miroku/Sango. Inuyasha/Kagome. Kohaku/Rin.

At Death's Door: Naruto/Complete
Death!Sasuke/Original setting

Death is all-knowing, and yet Sasuke has no idea how a mortal found her way into his home. Sakura doesn't know how she got here, or where 'here' is, but she isn't going to let a little thing like Death stop her from finding out.
Cast: Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Itachi, Neji, Tenten, Ino, and more
Pairings: SasuSaku. NaruHina. NejiTen.

The Twelve Days of Christmas: Naruto/Complete
Modern AU

A quirk of fate turns Tenten into a modern day Snow White and tosses her into the lives of the Huyga-Uzumaki family right at Christmas. However, she has her own problems, and not time for 'Prince Not-So-Charming' or anything else to get in her way. Modern AU. Seasonal fluff.
Cast: Neji, Tenten, Naruto, Hinata, Konohamaru, Hanabi and bunch of others :)
Pairings: NejiTen, NaruHina, KonoHana, SasuSaku

Force Majeure: Naruto/Complete
Modern AU Law Student Neji/Mechanic Tenten

Life never surprises Neji, a second year law student at Konoha University who spends more time in the library than at home - at least until he saw the Girl Who Smiles with the Guy in Green. Life never ceases to surprise Tenten, a mechanic-turned-student who is splitting her time between the garage and the library and daydreaming about the Beautiful Law Student.
Cast: Neji, Tenten, Ibiki, Gai, Lee, Genma, Naruto and bunch of others :)
Pairings: NejiTen

Underneath it All: Naruto/Complete
Several years after Fourth Shinobi war, and Neji isn't dead.

Just because Neji and Tenten don't challenge each other to do 1000 push-ups during commercial breaks doesn't mean they aren't as competitive as the other half of Team Gai. They have a habit of making crazy bets and this one might have gotten out of hand…
Cast: Neji and Tenten and friends
Pairings: NejiTen implied SasuSaku

Strange Bedfellows: INUYASHA/Complete

Inuyasha and his friends investigate claims that Naraku is targeting the wolf tribes of the Northern Forest region. 25 chapters epilogue and translations.

Dogs Playing Poker: Naruto/Inuyasha crossover/On Hiatus/Stand-alone
Modern AU

Inuyasha just wants to have his regular poker night with the people he can normally (mostly) stand. Unfortunately, someone (Kagome) had the bright idea that all of the kids should trick-or-treat together, so that leaves him without Miroku, and with Kouga, Sesshomaru, and some new guy named Kiba. The only person less happy about the whole situation is Sesshomaru, who is only coming so that his daughter Rin can be with her cousins. Neither expects to enjoy the evening, or to get anything more out of it than a headache - certainly not some new friends, and maybe even something more...

Pairings: Inuyasha/Kagome, Kouga/Ayame, Miroku/Sango, Kiba/Tenten
Other Characters: Tsume, Hana, Iruka, Lee, Sota, Rin, Kohaku, Shippo, Jaken. Mentions of more characters from both universes throughout the story.

Konoha: 1931: NARUTO/Complete/Oneshot
AU/Konoha with a Road to Perdition vibe.

Sasuke Uchiha's and Tenten Inuzuka's families were slaughtered by the mob. After a year and a half of searching, they are on the verge of bringing the killers to justice, and recovering the lives that were stolen from them. Past SasuSaku/KibaTen pairings. Current SasuTen pairing.

I was asked if I had ever considered writing a Sasuke x Tenten fic. The answer to that is simply: No. As I’ve been working on Double or Nothing, I began to see the potential of those two as a couple, under the right circumstances. Knowing my propensity for turning one-shots into series, I delayed my steam-punk western concept for another time. That didn’t stop me from writing about three versions of this, but I think this is my favorite. With the feel of “Road to Perdition,” and intentionally kept short, I humbly submit: Konoha :1931.
