"Xylophilia" by Crunchysunrises (R)

Fandom: NARUTO
Pairing: main ships: Kakashi/Yamato, Sai/Sakura/Yamato, side ships: Aoba/Anko/Yamato, Sakura/Yamato, Sakura/Sai, Sai/Yamato
Length: one-shot at 4,414 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] crunchysunrises, though author suggests her DW page is better: crunchysunrises
Author Website: fic master list
Why this must be read: I can really feel Yamato's frustration with his sempai's avoidance of his feelings--something that makes the ending very satisfying. This fic has some delightful interpretations I've not run across before, such as exactly how Kakashi's obtained his houseplant, Mr. Ukki, and the different reactions to Yamato's wood jutsu and his origins. Sakura's delight with Yamato's skills is sweet and made me very happy for him. Blunt Sai is perfect! [begins when Yamato AKA Tenzou is 14, extends to when he's 26, no canon spoilers aside from Yamato's origins]

Aw, thanks for the rec! I'm super flattered!

The livejournal link probably isn't the best one. (Mostly because I can't get into the account so it hasn't been updated in years. ~_~) My dreamwidth page ( http://crunchysunrises.dreamwidth.org/ ) is better, mostly because I frequently update it and it has work that I haven't gotten around to uploading to AO3 yet.

But thanks again for the rec!

Wow! I just looked at your personal recs site and WOW! It's a thing of awe and beauty!

(And I'm glad that you liked the fic! It came together surprisingly quickly and easily.)
