Recent AO3 update: Descent (Naruto) and Up On The Peak (One Piece)

[maldoror_chant]

And we're off to stranger shores!

Descent (Naruto, Kakashi/Gai)
A and S rank missions are killers - especially the kind Tsunade hands out since she's been made Godaime. Kakashi has handled some pretty rough ones over the years with his teams, wow, he could tell you stories...

But his team is gone. He's no longer a Jounin-sensei and he no longer has to watch over a bunch of brats. Now his missions are ANBU level.

ANBU missions are different. The view through that mask is narrow. There is nothing to protect, only targets to kill. There is no mercy, no regret, no remorse. No prisoners. It's very simple, really. Considerably simpler than being a Jounin-sensei. If only Gai didn't insist on joining his rival/friend/partner around on these, it'd be simpler still.


Up On The Peak (One Piece, faint Zoro/Kaku)
A year after Enies Lobby, Kaku catches up with Roronoa Zoro for a rematch. A battle featuring swords, reasons to fight, a sprinkling of odd emotions and, of course, giraffes.

(Timeline: mythical 'post-series' after the Strawhats reach Raftel, get the One Piece and kick the World Government to the carpet.)

I'm supper happy with all these stories of Naruto that I have never read before!!! It's like getting a Christmas and Birthday present every time you post one of them. YAY!!! Descent is so good I can't wait for what else you have saved up for us!!

Thanks! One of the advantage of moving to DW and AO3 is that I can get all my stuff together at last, makes it easier to find all my weirder fics (Gai/Kakashi, I mean, really...but it works!)

And if I haven't read it, it's new to me, lol!!! I was skeptical about that pairing too, but man does it work. At least with you. I have yet to read another author that can make it work the way you do.
