An old-school Mary Sue story... though maybe not especially Mary Sue.
I wanted to tag it as a farming story, but maybe it's not really much of one either.
The entire main story is written and ready to post.
The Shikamaru IF story is written and ready to post.
I'll update with more bonus stories if I come up with any later.
Understated prose, slow-burn pacing
Blurb:
"That's mine."
That was the heart her father gave her, and the ordinary life she had as a normal person.
But even if you want to keep something that was yours to begin with from being taken away,
you still have to pay the price fate demands.
To live only for yourself.
How much must you grow
before you can live up to the weight of those words?
-
"My dream is to be a baker, not a ninja or a scientist."
Morino put down the calculations in her hand and spoke to the man before her.
Theme: Finding yourself in the process of making choices
Shikamaru is the one who knows Lai best!!!!! He feels relieved to leave his daughter to his mother!!! (What am I talking nonsense about)
Say it again a million times! Well matched, well matched, well matched!!!!!!!
Kakashi and Lai don't have that cp feeling at all
In fact, I have rewatched it two or three times. It is really good. Although Shikamaru is the official partner, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei are also very good. Haha, I may have watched too much of "All" recently. I always want the heroine of "All"
I hold high the cp banner for Shikamaru and Lai!!!!!!
Damn it! It hurts! This hurts too much
No!!!!!! Is Asuma-sensei going to be gone? Can't accept this fact!!!!!
If not, I'll buy Shikamaru shares!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you stuck here? I can't update another chapter
Come on, come on, come on!!! Looking forward to updates every day!!!!
