[Fic] "Sons and Daughters" -- Naruto

I am doing a prompt-ficlet thing at the moment; this is the fifth one, for [personal profile] theodosia21, to the prompt: how about something from Naruto, more particularly, something about Mikoto, Sasuke's mother? I'd love to see more fic about her- anything, really. Her childhood, her choices, that AU where she undertook the Uchiha massacre to save Itachi from having to do it... you get the idea. ^_^

150 words about pressure and expectations. (I feel this idea has been done to death -- as a general trope, if not for Mikoto in particular -- but it's all that came to mind. Sorry [personal profile] theodosia21, I tried?)

In real life news, I tried to get a flu shot at Target today, but the clinic was unexpectedly canceled. Boo hiss. But I needed to get a poster frame and some scented wax melts from A. C. Moore anyway, so it was not precisely a wasted trip.

I also got some vaguely creamy Vaseline brand skin lotion, but I failed utterly at finding actual Vaseline. Or generic petroleum jelly. Does nobody make that anymore? I don't want gentle lotions that sink into the skin. I want thick, sticky glop that will fill the cracks between my toes and stop them from splitting open. Is that really so much to ask?
