In His Shadow (Shikamaru x reader)

(Y/n) will always has and always will live in her older brother Asuma's shadow. Another huge mistake made by her only seems to make this statement more true.

After returning to the Hidden Leaf after being gone for months, (Y/n) has to figure out a way to ease herself back into the life she left behind. It's not easy considering the new person she's become.

But there's only one person, who despite the new set of circumstances (Y/n) is facing, notices her and doesn't think she's a screw up. And that's Shikamaru Nara.

I'm sorry this is such an awful description but I swear it's a Shikamaru fic. Pls read it 🥺

And before you ask, yes this time line is not accurate.
