ItaNaru Good Reads List
Jun. 18th, 2010 05:21 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
flypawThis is a list of good ItaNaru reads that I've compiled. I know how hard it is to find good stories in this fandom so I thought I would search through as much as I can to bring them all to one place... here! I've limited it to two (at the most) per author though, just so it's a more even distribution.
Some of them have hints of ItaNaru, some are PWP, they're all of different genres, styles - some more simplistic than others - but all of them make interesting reads. It's constantly going to be updated so keep your eyes peeled! I'm still taking suggestions as well, so just message me either on here or through my fanfiction account, Imperial Mint.
I've broken them down into categories; completed, in-progress, one-shot and short stories/collections/drabbles. Press ctrl + f and type in the category to jump to that section.
Enjoy!

Date: 2010-06-22 06:13 pm (UTC)First, I wanted to say that I actually admire you for starting to compile the list. Good luck with the project :D
Second... Thank you. What you did once again made me interested in writing about this particular pairing and pick up what I had abandoned for a long time ^^; Now I only need time to write.
I have one suggestion - "The Fox and the Weasel" turned at some point in a collection of one-shots. The first story is a drabble, indeed, but the rest is much longer. Maybe it would be better to move it to one-shot section?
*bookmarks*
no subject
Date: 2010-06-22 06:24 pm (UTC)Time is the biggest conspirator against everything, but it's lovely to hear you're interested again :)
That's a good point. I think instead of moving it, I'll rename the section. Makes more sense to have it as short stories/collections/drabbles than just drabbles... the oneshots will ideally stay as single chapters though.

Date: 2010-06-22 06:38 pm (UTC)It sure helps to know that somebody reads what I've written. I'm one of these people who abandons activities they find... er... ineffective? Not sure if it's a good word. What I mean is that I'm not eager to waste time and effort on something that is out of anybody's liking, so big thanks :3
Time is evil - there never is enough of it.
Good idea *nods*
Can I suggest a story? This Place is a Prison by tsubaki-hana. A bitter-sweet story with ItaNaru subtext. Naruto kidnapped by Akatsuki. I read it long time ago, but it stuck in my memory :)
no subject
Date: 2010-06-22 08:59 pm (UTC)I would put that on here, but I've already rec'd two of tsubaki-hana's. I have a 2-story-limit, just so I don't end up posting loads of one author and missing others. :) Thank you though, and I agree it is a lovely story!

Date: 2010-06-22 10:19 pm (UTC)One thing I'd like to include -- Wraiths and Strays is, at its core, a mixfic -- there's music that goes with each chapter. For those that are interested in this sort of business, a link to the properly formatted, music-included version is here (http://gunners-view.livejournal.com/tag/fic:%20wraiths%20and%20strays) at my writing journal.
ETA: The rest of Quillslinger's ItaNaru fic (all of which is obscenely good) can be found at her fic masterlist here (http://ronsard.livejournal.com/19338.html#cutid1). I think she pulled some of the older stuff from FF.net, but there it is. :3
suggestion
Date: 2010-06-23 03:04 pm (UTC)There is one story that is complete i'll like to suggest is Angels by YaoiRocks, DADDY LEFT US by colinamilly and a one shot the title it's You Are Not Alone by Tranquilized-Night.
Still awake :P *(still your fault)
Date: 2010-06-25 05:31 am (UTC)And, you're awesome. And, you have such good taste in writing and ItaNarus.
hmmmm....
And you smell good.
*cough*
And...if I put a list like this togehter you would be in it. Especially the Art one and My Dog Died. And CSDR and SoL obviously. ;)
And I LOVE YOU!
And I can't believe you found the time for all this, you are really very skilled.
Okay, I'm out for the moment, I really should sleep. How's that for more compliments on your amazing list?
LOVE YOU!

Date: 2010-06-25 08:46 am (UTC)(But thank you for the ego stroking. I can now relax in my mansion with my millions of gold bars around me chuckling just because).
That's a lie. The bars of gold are so in a safe... ;)

Re: Still awake :P *(still your fault)
Date: 2010-06-25 02:53 pm (UTC)So good ego stroking? ;)
Now can I come over to your mansion and play in the gold with you like Scrooge McDuck?
I can lay it on more.
You're so talented! And I love your hair! And oh mu gosh, the hours you spent on this; you poor baby! I'll make you chicken soup ooh! and chocolate and cookies!
Good?
Oh, I know where the bars of gold are. I watch you as you sleep with them at night. mwahahahahah
Love you!

Date: 2010-06-26 05:06 am (UTC)See, we can totally blame you! But you know, all this lovely ItaNaru got me depressed at work today because I had to be working and not reading, so now I want some SasuNaru!
No, I don't think that really makes sense entirely, but I assure you, it does in my head.
Oh! But I had lovely chicken nuggets for dinner -the kids' meals are usually better than what the adults are having anyway. I find you've got me addicted to them ever since you mentioned your mom making home made ones. So yeah, that's your fault too.
XD
And this time it is not your fault I am up past one. It's work's fault! Actually, "funny" story there, heh heh. Later!
LOVE YOU!

Date: 2010-06-28 03:54 am (UTC)hwa... i love the list... I am SOOO loving this list. I had been having problems finding good stories of this fandom that I haven't read yet... ah it would seem as if I don know how to look. So many stories so little time. XD Ah! can I suggest agni's unspoken bonds? one of my favorites that is a tad bit too painful to read but is extremely beautiful nonetheless.
Ah before I forget... belated Happy Birthday Imperial- flypaw. XD Thank you for all the ItaNaru goodness you write. Cursed Salvation descending redemption would be something unforgettable- it converted me after all! XD
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 10:00 am (UTC)I would add more of Agni on here, but I have a 2-story-per-author limit so I don't end up recc-ing a lot of stories from one author :) I agree, it's a wonderful story.
(And thank you! Really, I converted you!? Hehehehe yay! That's made my day ;D )

Date: 2010-09-16 09:42 pm (UTC)Totally awesome!
Date: 2010-12-18 07:36 am (UTC)I would like to see your very own The Shadows of Leaves added to this list, as it definitely deserves it, and I'm not trying to flatter.
others are... (runs down list of favorites ~ shit, you seem to have everything >.<)

Re: Totally awesome!
Date: 2010-12-18 10:03 pm (UTC)I already have two of CrazyPurple Sage's fics on the list and I mentioned I'd have a 2-fic limit per person just so that it's not weighed down by one person.
Haha, I can't rec my own stories!! I'd feel bad XD
As for the others, Black and Gold is on the list, as is Lose Control. I'll have to look at the others but thanks for the comment! It helps when you have extra eyes out!
