SNS fic rec

I have found lots of SNS fics that I think deserve even more love and recognition, so buckle in and here we go!

-PS, if you don’t want your fic on this list, I will take it off.

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou an idiot? by Skyheaven

Naruto thought he could impress his crush by landing the role of Romeo in their school play. With Sakura playing Juliet, it would be the perfect way to get close to her. So how is it that he ended up being forced to play the modern version titled Romeo and Julian with his arch rival Sasuke instead?

(It’s a full, flushed out fic. It was a joy to read through)

-

(This is part two - a POV change to see what Sasuke is thinking, I strongly recommend reading after the first.)

And Julian is the moon by Skyheaven.

Ever wonder what Sasuke went through when he got stuck playing the romantic lead together with Naruto in their school play about Romeo and Julian? Here's the answer.

A pov change of the fic 'Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou an idiot?'

The Frog Dealer by lilypheria

Naruto’s trusty frog wallet breaks down after years of faithful service, and someone delivers a new one to his office. Naruto is elated, not caring if it’s proper for the Seventh Hokage of Konoha to wander around with a wallet like that. But then he starts to get even more deliveries to his office—frog-shaped keychains, fridge magnets, everything you can think of.

Naruto has no clue who has found out about his affection towards frogs. But the gift giver is closer than he thinks…

(It’s a adorable one-shot. What else could you possibly want.)

Unrequited: sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't by KizuKatana

Naruto hates to hurt people's feelings. So when Hinata puts him on the spot about dating her, he doesn't want to come straight out and tell her he doesn't like her that way. Instead, he comes up with a poorly thought out idea to tell her he is dating someone already. All he needs to do to convince her is to show her a photo of the guy. He just needs to get a picture of someone so ridiculously hot she will know it's hopeless. He actually has someone in mind, a guy he'd had a one-sided thing for from his gym. Although, the guy is sort of an ass and probably wouldn't agree to posing for a picture. Naruto decides to ask him anyway. What's he got to lose?

(Another wonderful, simple one-shot. Easy and very nice to digest.)

In Good Company by weialala

This will sound a little ridiculous, no matter how Sasuke phrases it. I see dead people is embarrassingly tacky, and I'm half-spirit seems like something Sakura might say when she's stoned sky high. So he settles for a shrug.

(This is a gem of a fic. Highly recommend.)

Iced coffee with extra base by Dotec_1

Working in a cafe certainly isn’t the worst thing, that is if you find a certain raven a few tables down.

(Not too long, just 25,000 words and a good plot.)

---

Fire & Wind by Cyllia

Wind and fire: it's the most powerful combination of elements there was. So when Sasuke, the most talented fire elementalist in his year, pairs with Naruto, who has the greatest air element seen in centuries, they should've been the most formidable team in history. Yet they can't seem to win one match.

(OH MY GOD, okay, this has got to be one of my favorites on this list. And these are all some of my favorite.)

all i want to do, just like this by lunoiere (aeon_uriel)

"Good morning," he whispered, content, and peaceful. 

Naruto's nose twitched, still asleep. His lips were pursed to form a pout that somehow looked even more childish in this state. 

Sasuke's smile got wider and wider and something in his chest bloomed and exploded.

 Unbidden, a thought passed by: he loved that man so much it was unreal. 

Sasuke gets another reminder that waking up with arms around his waist and the smell of sunshine filling his lungs means opening his eyes to yet another good dream.(Because Naruto is there and he’s never leaving.)

An amazing documentary on an older bit of computer technology that uses punchcards. What makes this more amazing too, is that this is a VERY old form of programming that dates back to the 1700s. Before we had these types of electric punchcard computers, Paper punchcards were used to make weaving patterns for things like dobbies when making jacquard fabric and lace patterns for big looms, automatons, and in a lot of ways works like the drum on a music box. It's a way to have mechanical programming instead of coding electronics. Electronics are smaller, load faster, and can hold much much more data, but Punch card equipment has it's own benefits as well. I'm actually old enough and fortunate enough to have handled old punch card and mag striped equipment when helping my mom in her classroom, it was a very outdated tech then. But it's not just charming, fun to use, and fairly simple to pickup, it's practical, and at least for me I can understand it better than I can with coding now due to my issues with losing my memory. Honestly it's a fascinating rabbithole to go down, because it leads you to analog technology and how simple it really is. From the fact that a speaker is just something that can vibrate a pattern like a piece of cardboard or rubber attached to a needle being cranked over a record like this:

You'd be surprised what you can do mechanically. And a solid mechanical build combined with simple electronics like an arduino if you're able to learn can make amazing things.

I just adore that: mecha taking the opportunity to explore their looks more in times of peace. Try out different paintjobs, maybe sketch out possible frame changes, get the color of their optics turned back to what it was before, have that tattoo they've been wanting... Just, the signs that nature is healing and they're allowed to hope and explore now that the fighting is over.

I just finished watching Good Omens and this is the first song I hear.

It was an emotional blow on an already emotional experience. Such a good show, so great and so cool. So many emotions.

I just felt that this song kinda fits with the end of season 2, and I'm still recovering cause now I might need a new show and I don't want a new one. No other show will likely keep me up so late and leave me energized in the morning some how.

Yeah, very good show, and this is a good song. Sorry about the tags on these fandom song posts.

There is a whole story fit into this overwhelming yet calming song. Balance.

From the recordings of Amazing Things

[euesworld]

"What wintery, wet, and wild things we could do this year.. what amazing things we could do. If you were here right now, I would grab ya face and kiss it softly. I would hug you so tightly that you thought I was a part of you, I would melt your heart with my big doe eyes.. and I'd never let you forget that you love me."

Oh, you can barely imagine the things I dream about you - eUë

[maslimanny]

One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential in you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.

This post has literally explained me the whole myth.

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

Don Broco live at Royal Albert Hall

Last March, Don Broco performed with an orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenager Cancer Trust.

Although it was not possible to film the whole show, they have already posted a third of the songs they played on You Tube.

So, here's a compilation post, which I will update if they share more songs from the show.

This is so full of love, I can't

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
