❝ Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall. ❞ COVER BY Jiminist- ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ [ #213 in Fanfiction 11.15.16 ]

❝ She was born in the darkness, ❞ Akita harbors a blackness in her heart, a slow and festering disease. She is the catalyst for both wrath and destruction. Contrary to the beliefs of many, she was not born into this hatred. Akita bled for the people she called family - she killed for them. Foreign to the shinobi nations, it was painfully obvious she would be singled out from the crowd. With skin a warm brown, eyes of molten gold and claws as black as night; she stands alone. Akita was not born evil. She was made. ❝ and darkness she became. ❞ - COVER ART GOES TO RESPECTFUL OWNER 3RD PLACE WINNER NARUTOWATTYS2017 "BEFORE NARUTO'S GENERATION" MATURE CONTENT. DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND PROFANITY.

Humanity. A strange and beautiful creation. Ironically enough, all it seems to bring is destruction. Atsuko wondered what it was like to be human. She knew they were made of flesh and blood, just like her, but what exactly made them so different? She has lived many years and has travelled across the world more times than she could count on one hand. There was nothing on this Earth that she didn't know-except for humanity. While she walks the fine line between Earth and the Spirit World, Atsuko may very well come to understand the answer. -- Rewrite of STARDUST-YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ STARDUST TO READ THIS STORY. They will essentially be two different stories.

𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒉. Sometimes ghosts come back to haunt you, and sometimes those ghosts never really died. When Winter returns to Kohona after leaving for nearly three years, it's clear to the others that something has changed her. What they don't know is that Winter is wrapped up in a mess bigger than Sasuke's ego, which is saying a lot. Having to live a double life, Winter races against the clock to sort out all the lies she's been fed, find a way to combat an organization that has the potential to rival the Akatsuki, and prepare for a war that will shatter the world. Only one thing is certain, betrayal is inevitable. [ book two of the Storm Bringer duology ] [ third place winner of the NWA 2017 ] [ COMPLETED ]

𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔. Winter is bitter and cold, just like the season she is named after. So when she's put on a temporary team that consists of a pink-haired fangirl, a loud blonde brat, a boy just as hell-bent on revenge as she is, Winter knows she's in for a tough few weeks. But perhaps this mismatched team will help her realize that there's more to life than misery and misfortune.

COMPLETED! NOTE THAT THE REWRITE TITLED "ATSUKO" HAS BEEN POSTED. ~ What exactly does it mean to be human? Shiranui always wondered what it meant. Of course she knew what humans were made out of; flesh and bones. But what was beyond that? She traveled for so long that she has forgotten where she came from. She has been searching for the answer for years only to come up empty handed and with a lot of pain. But when Shiranui arrives in Konohagakure, things change. Clues and hints riddle the Village Hidden in Leaves, leading her closer to the answer. But will she like what she discovers or will she be horrified? [ I do NOT own Naruto. Just my OC Shiranui and Tsuki-Yumi. ]
