Why this should be read:

While I still have a little space left as the month draws to a close, I would like to rec a couple stories by authors you may have already seen. crazy_toffee is a brilliant author that can often make me read pairings I would never consider. With it's cast of thousands, you wouldn't think I would be limited but darn it, I like NaruSasu. But the way she writes just reels me in.

In Haven, once Sasuke is returned to Konoha, Naruto is left asking 'what now'? and confused. While in Suna, Gaara has disappeared into the desert. When Temari seeks Naruto's help in finding the Kazekage, he thinks it an easy mission to get away. But finding Gaara only raise more questions. And Gaara is pushing for answers.

Written in a deceptively easy style, Haven is descriptive yet eloquent, bittersweet and decidedly realistic. crazy_toffee's inner dialog with these characters must be amazing as she writes them so fresh and real, I believe she is channeling Kishimoto.

Try out Haven but stick around for some of her other fic as well. No matter the pairing, she is enthralling.

And Please remember the feed the authors!

LOVE HER~!! not too keen on this pairing, but "Tangled up in Lace" is my ultimate favorite Naruto fanfic - could even be my favorite fanfic period (bold statement, i know, but that is how much i loved it). i'm sure Tangled has been recced before but it's good to see her other works recced as well. "After All" is another good one. her amazing talent lies in the fact that she can take certain kinks and premises (crossdressing, threesomes), which may not appeal or ring true to everyone, and melds them into canon flawlessly. love <3
