[Fic] "After Frost" -- Naruto
Apr. 12th, 2012 01:26 amThis was written for
hungrytiger11, in response to the prompt: Hinata + any of the girls, moving on. I stuck it into the summer-camp-and-politics AU partly because I had an IDEA, and partly because I wanted to round off that world's continuity.
This is the most depressing story I have written in ages. It is also, I think, a hopeful story, and a funny story in some sections, but Hinata is not in a good place mentally or emotionally, and has not been in a good place for the majority of her life. So, you know, warnings for depression, learned helplessness, severely dysfunctional families, and a traumatic backstory involving kidnapping, long-term captivity, and murder. None of it is graphic, but even so. (4,850 words)
ETA: The slightly revised final version is now up on the AO3 and ff.net! (AO3 version; ff.net version)
( After Frost )
Like I said, depressing. But also hopeful. And that is the end of the summer-camp-and-politics AU, at least for the moment. I will try to tidy up and post all three fics on ff.net and maybe also the AO3 by the weekend.
And now I move on to the trollstuck fic for
explodingfrogs! Hopefully that one will be less emotionally draining, even if it does start with Troll Jade Harley frantically trying to stop ( minor Act 5 troll backstory spoiler ) I think narrative tone of voice makes a huge difference, for one thing. (Now I just have to convince myself that I cannot and should not try illustrating the damned thing...)
