Summary: A series of vignettes taking all the Naruto fic cliches and turning them on their heads.
Why: There are about 15 of these, and they're short, which I usually find to be kind of a downside, but these work beautifully at just this length. They take some of the more prominent cliches in the Naruto fandom, and they basically debunk them by showing what would actually happen. I think my favorites have to do with Iruka, simply because his girlification by some fans drives me up the wall, but there are a lot of good ones here.

Summary: Touya Akiko reveals a few home truths.
Why: Hee! I really kind of love the idea of Akira's mom talking to girls for him and letting them down somewhat gently when they develop these crushes on her son. I also liked this just as a glimple of the Touya family life, which must be a strange place considering the obsessions of the males, and how Akiko holds it all together for them. Such a cute story.
