Drive by fic recs!

...I need to do homework. Hey, look, fanfiction! *stabs self with physics until dead from it*

Salt Water Medicine by Flying Machine. Hauntingly insightful Kakashi introspection/backstory fic; read the other fic by Flying Machine, as it is also wonderful. They're both short, but well worth the read.

Untitled Young Orochimaru Drabble and Atheist, by Asprosdrakos. Suddenly Orochimaru actually makes sense, and that is no mean feat. "Atheist" is Kakashi introspection on where a ninja places his faith, because there's no such thing as too much good Kakashi angst.

Acetaminophin by Riddering. Kankurou post-Sasori's attack, with some Sakura thrown in to make it absolutely my favorite Kankurou fic ever. This isn't saying much, since there's so little Kankurou fic out there and I tend to adore it all, but Riddering gets his voice down perfectly and I love it.

Parallels by Quest of Dreams and Lazzchan. SasuNaru AU; Naruto gets hit by a strange jutsu on a mission, and wakes up in a universe where his life doesn't suck. This fic is breaking my heart and needs to update again right quick, yo.

A Study in BS by memlu. FFVII Reno and Rude fic. Gawd, Reno. You're so fucking crazy.

Things Normal and Twenty Five by Atreylune. The first is angsty, dysfunctional Rude/Reno, and the second is hilarious, hilarious Rude-on-the-job. Read the rest of Atreylune's FFVII fic, it's f'awesome.

Four Part Byakuya/Renji Series by Kira Douji. Okay, I don't even like this pairing. It upsets me for some reason (probably because I really dislike Byakuya, I don't know). But this series is well written and in character- and that's impressive, given how little there is of Byakuya's character. The individual parts have titles and can act as stand-alones, but if you read them all together, they're even better.

The Required Generic Substitute Teacher Story by Moonsheen. Ichigo. Chad. Substitute teaching. Ichigo and Chad are a little like the Reno and Rude of Bleach, sometimes. XD
