[Fic] "Take Deeper Roots" -- Chronicles of Narnia/Naruto

branchandroot requested: Naruto and Narnia, Sakura and Susan, the hidden sides

Sakura spends a year in Narnia. Susan watches, and does her best to help. (2,250 words) [AO3 crosspost]

( Take Deeper Roots )

As you can see, this time I took the opposite route from An Alternate Solution to the Problem of Madara and dropped a Naruto character into Narnia. Despite that, this is really Sakura's story, not Susan's, which is not what I was expecting when I started writing. It's also a good thousand words longer than I anticipated. Strange how these things happen.

And now to bed. :-)

greetings from New Jersey!

My day began with a moment of blind panic, when I arrived at the rental car place to discover that it was halfway through being turned into some sort of cafe outpost of Greenstar (the organic coop grocery store; yes, I know; this is Ithaca; it can't be helped). Fortunately I have their number saved in my phone, and it turned out that they'd only moved three blocks north and one block west rather than relocating to the airport or something equally unreachable on foot.

The drive was surprisingly unproblematic. Yeah, it snowed most of the way, but it was the snow equivalent of mizzle -- hardly worth noticing, let alone speaking of. The precipitation got heavier between the I-81/I-380 interchange and the Delaware Water Gap, but still nothing to write home about, and while traffic was heavier than on a normal midweek afternoon, it only got really wretched around the I-287 exit from I-80, which is a pit of hell on a good day, so eh, whatever.

I have done laundry, we have had dinner, and shortly I must go back downstairs to check on the progress of the pumpkin pie. All in all, life is good. :-)
