Summary: Sakura spends two and a half years learning.
Why: I love Sakura, and this story completely reminded me why. The author does a great job of capturing the fun of her character without forgetting just how tough she is. Not to mention that she does a great job with the other characters around Sakura as well. This story really made me miss Naruto fandom a lot. Sure, it can be frustrating, but it also turns out gems like this. Perhaps I'll have to start working on my Naruto reading list again.

Summary: It was near closing time when Naruse appears at the door of the curry restaurant. Koichi smiles to him and waves him inside.
Why: Yes, it's Ohmiya in drama form. But if you think about it, these two would make such a good couple! This story kind of illustrates why, showing the things that they have in common and the way that they would connect. I have to admit, I'm kind of fascinated by the idea of these two together, and this story is definitely one of the reasons why.
