Back when I wrote 5 times Karin cried in front of Sasuke (and one time she didn't), I mentioned that I had in mind a piece following the same criteria but from Sasuke's POV - now, two years later, I've finally written it lol

Title: 5 times Sasuke fell for Karin (and the one time he realized it)
By: Kanae (Goth-Punk88 @ ff.net)
Rating: K+
Word Count: 3.466
Author's Notes: Most of it takes place during the time-skip; however, the very last vignette takes place post-series. So we're dealing with a redeemed Sasuke who no longer carries the weight of his revenge around and a Karin that has also gone through her fair share of stuff. So their behavior will, of course, be different. - There is also a line that was inspired by a RoyAi (Fullmetal Alchemist) quote ♥

Fellow SK shippers and I have been discussing how do we envision Sasuke and Karin as parents; and while I was thinking about that I was hit by a sudden mental picture. And so, this little drabble-turned-oneshot was born.

I brought up this topic today at the SasuKarin FC@NF, but I kind of cheated because I had already written my response a long time ago lol and there are 6 reasons total. So I will be posting them here starting today.

So,


( 1. Karin actually said she was through with Sasuke. )
( 2. What This Sasuke did, and what That Sasuke did not do. )
( 3. Karin’s feelings for Sasuke have never brought her character down. )
( 4. There were no damaging (emotionally or otherwise) dynamics between them before this Sasuke made his stand. )
( 5. The qualities their bond possessed before Sasuke severed it can be salvaged, as long as Sasuke redeems himself. )
( 6. I still think it can become canon, yeah. )

Since the old thread was split and archived, I'm gathering our old posts here in order to not lose them again~

Wow, it's been a while alright. My apologies for those who I unintentionally left hanging; I didn't intend to put the story in hiatus (srsly) it just sort of... happened.

But I have good news for those who are still interested in this fic (if there's still anyone, that is. can't blame you guys for forgetting about a fic that hasn't been updated in so long lol): I actually finished it.

That's right. I somehow did in 2 weeks what I didn't do in 2 years. AND just in time for Karin's (and Sasuke's. And Suigetsus' and Juugo's and soon SK's) glorious comeback in the manga, at that!

So the fic is now completely finished, up to the very last chapter and epilogue. I'm just working on re-reading it to give it the finishing touches, but I should be done with that in a day or two.

So, I've started to post the fic in fanfiction.net, here


During the next few days I'll be uploading there all the content I had posted in this journal (so I will be taking the old chapters down from here, because I've edited them and fixed tons of things) and once I'm done with that, I'll start to post the new chapters.

I hope you guys will enjoy what's left of the story (more than 10 chapters, btw) and forgive me for going MIA like that orz

tl;dr

I'm continuing Maybe Next Time, the new chapters will be posted here:

and NOT in this journal. So keep an eye out on the link above!

Yup yup, time to be a bit organized~

Title: Teach me How (to remember that I know how)
By: Kanae
Pairing: SasuKarin (blatant NaruSaku)
Genre: Hurt/Comfort - Romance - Drama - General
Rating: PG (with bits of language here and there)
Status: Ongoing
Author’s Notes: First of all I want to apologize for the insanely long amount of time it took me to update this. At first it was only due to the exams, but then my laptop actually died and I didn't have the meanings to work on this. Then I had to wait to get my old files back, so on so forth. But everything is finally in order, so I should go back to updating often.

I also have to admit that I struggled quite a bit when writing this, not only because I wrote chunks of it at different times, but because it's been so long since I wrote this story--returning to its natural flow was a bit complicated, and I'm not sure if I managed to succeed. However it should be back by the next chapter though~ Another thing I struggled with, is that this chapter is actually only a transitional one, so making it interesting is quite the challenge. I hope it'll be enjoyable however, and I promise the next one will be loads better.

Also, I'd like to take this chance to thank everyone who has been reading this, and who waited up to this point for an update ♥ Don't worry, I'll definitely finish both this and Maybe Next Time, without a doubt.

Title: And the moon just wouldn’t go down [Happy Birthday, beautiful Im YoonA ♥]
By: Kanae
Featuring: Im YoonA/Lee Donghae – SNSD [Yuri, Hyoyeon] – Super Junior [Leeteuk, Hyukjae, Heechul] – SHINee [Minho]
Genre: FluffRomance – General - Humor
Status: Complete [Oneshot]
Word Count:
Author’s Notes / Warnings: Well… it’s long. Not as long as 'Til there are no stars anymore, but lengthy still. Speaking about that, the title for that inspired a part of this fic – you guys will get what I mean soon. Also, remember when I said that Sleep was the fluffy-est thing I had ever written?

… Well, scratch that. This one takes the cake. It’s fluffy to the ultimate level, I warn you all. So read at your own risk!

In my defense, I wanted to make it (what happens in the fic) as special as I possibly could, because it’s Yoong’s birthday, and she deserves the best ♥ Happy Birthday, YoonA, we love you ♥

Also, it’s sadly kind of AU. When I started writing this the boy’s trip to China hadn’t been decided, so that was quite an unplanned turn of events. Not to mention that the Dream Concert wasn’t yet scheduled to air on the 30th either, so there was still Inkigayo. I debated whether to save this for next year or to disregard it altogether (since I’m not too happy with it), but at the end I decided to post it either way—Because hell, I bet Yoong and Hae would’ve liked to spend her birthday together.

Summary: It’s YoonA’s birthday, and as the minutes pass by Donghae is nowhere to be found.

Title: Vibe (possessiveness)
By: Kanae
Rating: G
Genre: Romance - General
Word Count: 768
Featuring: Lee Donghae/Im Yoon Ah - 2PM (Taecyeon, Nichkhun, Junsu, Chansung)
Author's Notes: This was originally going to be the YoonHae drabble for my S♥Yoong Love Series, however at the end I went for another one and completely forgot about this. The Cabi MV made me remember it though for obvious reasons lol The setting for this one is, however, December 2009 and the "performance" that Donghae mentions is the 9PM collab for the MBC Gayo Daejun.
Summary: An entertainer must do what an entertainer must do. Donghae understands that, so he isn't mad. He's jealous.

( Vibe )

I might one another drabble similar to this one eventually~ the topic is just too fun to explore lol

Edit; Edited slighted to fix some typos~!
