Chapter 13 of my blank period SasuSaku fic is up! Not gonna lie, I agonized over this one. First time I’ve written something so intense in ages, possibly since A Twist in Time. But I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too! 😊
Story title: What We Make of It
Rating: M
Summary: Sakura is spiralling, Sasuke’s redemption journey is not going as planned, and their growing feelings for each other are not helping in either case. With unfulfillment on one end and danger on the other, they are faced with decisions that will pave the path of the rest of their lives.
Quick recap of Chapter 12
A little sneak peek for Chapter 13 of my WIP, What We Make of It. Ramping up to this story’s first proper battle, feat. lots of SasuSaku teamwork. 👊⚡
i.e. I was too tired to write last night and I have new colouring pencils so this doodle happened instead lol. Felt a bit nostalgic - I used to doodle scenes all the time when working on A Twist in Time. 🥲
Planning to drop chapter 13 this week! 😊
The art of broken things
Kintsugi (or kintsukuroi): the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the process results in something more beautiful than the original.

“Well, at least he was in good hands with Sakura’s medical expertise, he figured, if all along it wasn’t a crush he was experiencing, but a heart attack.” - What We Make of It, Chapter 12
Another little doodle from my sketchbook while working on my SasuSaku blank period fic. 😊
“You should be at the club.” No, I should be at the scholastic book fair.

It’s good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn’t really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.
Goals include but are not limited to:
- Wanting to go home
- Wanting people out of your house who shouldn’t be there
- Trying to find a reliable babysitter
- Trying to deliver a letter or package
- Trying to do a favor for someone
- Wanting to see a specific thing, place, or kind of animal
- Wanting to collect the money somebody owes you (the lower the debt the better)
- Trying to win a bet
- Wanting to punch a specific person in the face
“wanting people out of your house who shouldn’t be there” is my favorite because that was literally Shrek’s main goal
