Cool! I bookmarked them to make sure to remeber.
I read that one that related them to the darkness and moon. That was pretty!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, my other stories aren't quite as popular though.

Really? Well, they're rather short so i'll post them here but I can also post them in the Creations board. Here's another one, read if you like: Seasons
Sasuke Uchiha was not fond of much, he didn’t like fangirls, he didn’t like ramen and many other things that still reared their ugly heads too often in his opinion. He didn’t like the seasons either, but he supposed out of all of them, he liked winter best. Why? Really, he didn’t know. Maybe it was because the other seasons were too bothersome so winter was the favorite by default. The seasons reminded him too much of the people in his life, people he regretfully admitted, were important to him. That didn’t mean he liked them though.
Spring, it was beautiful, much like his pink-haired teammate. He had to acknowledge that Sakura had indeed grown pretty over the years, her petal pink hair and slender form often garnered much attention from the guys in Konoha. Although her appearance was pleasing however, her behavior was not so attractive. In spring, rain often came, pouring down, irritating and unpleasant. Unfortunately, like the rain, her tears came often and marred her face. Still, he couldn’t change that, he had other duties. She may have been his comrade, but that didn’t make her his responsibility. Although it was a relatively subdued season, the constant sounds were annoying. The sounds of nature, welcoming spring, were much akin to Sakura’s endless chatter. Unfortunately, it was no less annoying.
Summer, he admitted he didn’t hate the season as so many thought. Summer was the time to push one’s self the limit, to become strong. However, the season could be overbearing. Its unrelenting heat and the constant sun were bothersome during training. Even the colors associated with the season bothered him. The bright yellows and oranges, the blue skies, all reminded him of his loud and obnoxious teammate.
Fall unsettled him. The brilliant hues of the leaves as fell from the branches brought back memories. Memories he wanted to forget. Red, falling all around him, it made him think of his eyes. The red that bled through when he fought, the red that dominated his brother’s eyes, his clan’s eyes, the eyes that so many envied. The red that lay around him, painting the ground in scarlet shades was like blood. He was a ninja, he should be used to it but he wasn’t prepared for the rush when Itachi’s spilled across the floor. It was red, just like his parents’. No, Sasuke was not fond of autumn. It reminded him of his past, mistakes, regrets, and his blind desire for vengeance. It was a time of plenty and thanks, a time for happiness. It made him debate his self-imposed solitude.
Winter at first was just like any other season. Once, he had hated the season, thinking it got in the way of training. But then, he met her. Of course he had known about her, she was the heiress to one of the noble clans, but he never really got to know her. She was, refreshing, like the brisk winds of winter. Unlike other girls, she did not fawn over him and adore him solely due to his appearance, she tried to understand him. Eventually, she knew him better than he knew himself, but he was getting used to it. The snow that he used to find vexing now was beautiful. It was white, like her eyes, it was pure, just like her and the night skies, illuminated with stars always made him think of her, bits of snow caught in her hair. Winter, a time when the world slept, a time where others yearned for the beauty of spring, had its own beauty, one that Sasuke made sure to see.
As he cradled Hinata in his arms, her soft blue hair fanned against him, Sasuke suddenly no longer wondered why he liked winter so much. Together, they looked out into the winter night sky, looking towards their future and they knew, they were happy.
The seasons may change, but my love for you will never wane.

Wow, that was really great. =) Although to be honest I detect some halfway-subtle Sakura-bashing there. Nah, but seriously, I love your writing style.

Haha. xD My policy is, if I think I dislike a character enough to get him/her OOC in a fic or unintentionally end up bashing him/her, I either: a. Leave the character out of the fic. b. Get a beta to read the fic over for bashing/OOC-ness. c. Study the character's mannerisms and personality until you can't take it anymore, so that you don't mess up characterizing them. (This one is asdkljasflas. But from personal experience, it ends up making you like the character. Or maybe I'm just weird like that.) So yeah. I don't see timeskip Sakura as someone who wants to be taken care of ("that didn't make her his responsibility.") or someone who is "annoying" and chatters often. The last two are characteristics of pre-timeskip Sakura, but they seem hardly there after the timeskip. </characterization nazi>

I didn't really mean to bash her but I was sort of going for the contrast I suppose. I like Naruto's character so much, I just get sor of mad that she doesn't appreciate him as much as I think she should. She's recognized that he's changed and matured but I haven't seen if she's actually showed him that she's noticed these changes. I'm a little behind though in the anime/manga so I'm not exactly up to date on Sakura's character after time-skip. My writing so far has been based on pre time-skip Sakura.
Your post does remind me however... *Runs off to search for a BETA reader*

xD She's pretty much shown him that she's noticed the changes. She cried for him, healed him more than once, and tried to feed him ramen when his arm was injured.
*waves arms* I'm a Naruto/Avatar/Harry Potter beta-reader. (An 'unemployed' one, but a beta-reader nonetheless. xD) So if you can't find anyone better (which isn't likely, you definitely will =P), I can beta your fics. ♥

I don't remember those, gosh I've just been squeezing in Naruto in my spare time, I guess I'll have to really get reading to get caught up. I watched most of the new Shipuuden episodes (I think xD) and although Sakura thinks to herself, 'he has changed' I don't recall her ever telling him that directly. *Is shot* Thanks for the offer for being my BETA, I'll be sure to keep it in mind. I don't have any new pieces yet but once I write one, I'll PM it to you. I'm sure you're great at it.

Haha. I'm pretty much a freak for my fandoms. So while I'm a dub enthusiast and don't watch the sub (except for Shippuden. I couldn't stop myself.), I'm caught up with manga scanlations and such. xD OMG thank you. ♥ I'm always so bored, and nobody wants me to beta for them. =P (And I'm too uninspired to write something of my own, most of the time. xD) So, uh. SasuHina. Can you guys see the potential for a relationship between the two despite Sasuke and Hinata barely having any interaction at all in canon? I can definitely see why people would want to pair them together, but unfortunately, the pairing has a fanbase consisting of a lot of biased fans. There's a lot of unnecessary bashing of other characters in SasuHina fics I've seen (especially bashing Naruto, Sakura, and Ino), and there are a lot of fans who create Mary Sue SasuHina daughters with the Sharingan AND the Byakugan. o__O *gag* But the writers who are decent definitely make me enjoy the pairing.

I think if they get to notice each other it's a possibility because Hinata isn't like the other girls Sasuke has been introduced to. She's shy, unlike Ino and Sakura, and unlike most of Konoha's female population. She could be a challenge that Sasuke might be interested in tackling. I think she can also understand the issues he's had to go through with his family as well as the loss of a parent. There is also the possibility of arranged marranges, strengthening the clan. Unlikely but the situation is out there. However, a lot of SasuHina involves Sasuke actually noticing Hinata. I'm a fan but I do realize this is unlikely. He'd probably see her but she doesn't really stand out. Also, there are two things that could hinder a possible relationship between them: 1. Sasuke has TONS of issues to work out. 2. Hinata right now is well, obsessed with Naruto and wouldn't really want a relationship with Sasuke.

I loved it. The relateing to weather and seasons in your fanfics are remarkably alike to the characters and beautiful.
Its sad that it is unlikely ;-; But it is cute and they match!
What is a BETA and what do they do?

@katie- Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them @narutoisthebest- I know it is unlikely and a bit random but that's the fun of shipping it. They look beautiful together to me and it's fun to imagine all the situations that could bring them together since it is a non canon ship. You never know with Kishomoto, he could surprise us.
