my shikanaru fics: a masterlist

listen, shikanaru was, is and will probably always be my otp so i’m just gonna start the long and tedious task of documenting my fic links for this ship. (fml but i NEED to wrangle everything into some form of organised chaos so bear with me). i’ve apparently written seventeen stories with them, which is both a smaller number than i’d thought and yet genuinely a baffling amount. note that while this ship features abundantly in my work, the primary focus of the story is not always on the development of their relationship.

i will mark my personal favourites with a “🖤” because yes, i do not love all my babies equally. i discriminate. some are just more dear to me, okay?

note: shikanaru is the default main/primary ship in these stories. the other ships mentioned are automatically the side-ships or the shared-spotlight pairings.

from oldest to newest ↓

1. twist in time: surprise surprise, it is a time travel fic. hokage naruto goes back into his younger body. changes everything. my first fic ever. if you tell me to sell this to you, i will probably lovingly insult the writing instead. still, it’s got pre-relationship shikanaru and they just mostly banter (naruto banters alot in general) | 91k words | complete | 40/40 | sequel is on hiatus | bamf!naruto, canon divergence, sasusaku | rated T |

🖤 2. swiggles: a quintessential sealmaster naruto fic where i’ve quite frankly gone a bit wild with the lore and the plentiful doodles. naruto makes friends, makes seals, makes some more friends. shikamaru is basically his best friend, along with sakura. obito returns to the village in this au but only after naruto’s already in the academy. speaking of, this fic, as of the last chapter, has only just reached graduation so it’s heavy on the pre-canon storyline. personally, developing the friend group in this, as well as the sweet, almost childish yet meaningful bond between shikanaru was very enjoyable for me | 83k words | incomplete, on hiatus | 19/? | eventual fuuinjutsu master!naruto, slow burn, fluff + humor, sakuino | rated T |

3. feelings? what are those?: just a short, silly oneshot about my favourite throuple, shikasasunaru. wrote this as a giftfic while twist in time was still a wip. it’s about naruto forcing shikamaru and sasuke to not be emotionally opaque peanuts | 4.7k words | non-oblivious!naruto, idiots in love | rated M |

4. the words tattooed on my soul: this is a fanpoetry fic. one poem from shikamaru’s pov who apparently writes plenty of these and stores them in a shoebox which he, ofcourse, hides under his bed | 172 words | poet!shikamaru | rated T |

5. the dance of destiny: platonic soulmates sasunaru and best friends shikasaku. sakura and shika leave the village to train with tsunade and years later, return so that sakura can become the hokage—she’s a champion of the civilians, basically. meanwhile, naruto has thoughts and feelings about this, given his own dream of taking the kage mantle. these four meet and their destinies (hah!) intermingle, much like an off-tempo waltz on the dancefloor (hah! again). shikamaru apparently has an asshole dad—shikaku—in this because that was what the muse wanted | 7.4k words | 2/? | incomplete | bamf!everyone | sasusaku | rated M |

🖤 6. colors of you: a lighthearted oneshot about shikamaru discovering that the village vandal painting konoha in all sorts of ridiculous murals is, infact, naruto and joining him on one of his escapades. this was written for a prompt challenge hosted on r/fanfiction actually. had a fun time writing this story. i really like how their dynamic turned out | ~4k words | pov shikamaru | rated M |

7. all in good time: another time travel fic about a burnt-out twenty-year old naruto finding himself back as an academy student after becoming estranged with konoha 12 in the og timeline following a failed jounin exam in which he ended up being the cause for shikamaru getting injured and scarred. this one’s more angsty, with a gentler naruto who’s a little sick of his life as a chunin. i really want to write and complete this story one day, because the storyboarding for the plot is a bit different than my usual fare | 13k words | 3/? | incomplete | alternate universe + time travel, slow burn | rated M |

🖤 8. the stories we never shared: a fic wherein naruto leaves konoha the night before graduation and years later, tsunade assembles a mission squad of seven to go after him, to protect him and offer him refuge, as a response to their knowledge about akatsuki and their plans to target jinchiruukis. this is also a shikasasunaru poly fic. it’s much slower and extremely interpersonal. i’m trying to develop and juggle different relationships and friendships with due regard. this fic also possibly has one of my favourite versions of naruto i’ve ever written. shikamaru is the mission leader and he shares a mutually contentious relationship with sasuke | 27k words | 4/? | incomplete | bamf!naruto, threeway povs, slowburn | rated M |

🖤 9. being known: a 5+1 fic about naruto and shikamaru sharing various conversations as they grow up and how their friendships ends up becoming something much much more. i’ve probably re-read this work the most because this is how i imagine shikanaru at their most grounded. they’re alike in so many ways beyond the superficial differences and it’s always a fun task to coax those commonalties out. it’s also non-linear | 18k words | 6/6 | complete | getting together, pov!shikamaru, pov!naruto.

10. blood of the covenant; water of the womb: my take on the arranged marriage trope. shikamaru is heir of the nara clan that resides in suna. shikaku is kazekage. naruto is heir of the uzumaki clan which is the closest thing to royalty in the shinobi world. to stop the prolonged conflict between konoha and suna, their marriage is proposed as a means for amicable ceasefire | 4k words | 1/? | incomplete | bamf!shikanaru, enemies to friends to lovers, politics | rated M |

🖤 11. naruto’s very eminent, very influential babysitters: naruto is raised communally amongst all the clans of konoha, on shikaku’s suggestion. mostly a humorous and fluffy fic and has the least amount of shikanaru, tbh. since they are, you know, babies. as of the last chapter, though, shikamaru has begun to have certain sorts of awakening. naruto is an absolute gremlin child here, chaos-maker extraordinaire. features interpersonal clan lore and many many side characters | 25k words | 5/7 | incomplete | fluff + humor, pre-canon, crack treated seriously | rated T |

12. the triad hypothesis: yet another poly shikasasunaru fic. they’re rogue ninjas together, trying to bind together resources and manpower to oppose danzo who has taken over konoha as hokage | 3k words | 1/? | incomplete | bamf!shikasasunaru, pov multiple, rebellion, politics | rated M |

🖤 13. twelfth guardian: naruto is sent to the daimyo’s mansion for his “safety”. shikamaru arrives there after becoming jounin, as one of the twelve ninja guardians. plot ensues in the background (conspiracy against the hokage, betrayals, etc.) while they fall in love after getting to know each other. this is my recent darling fic. i’ve drawn some art for it which is not just shitty doodling, i swear. i just have to sit and complete the third part so i can mark it as finished. it’s one fic where i’ve dug deep into shikamaru’s psyche and really enjoyed it | 20k words | 2/3 | incomplete | bamf!naruto, bamf!shika, multiple ocs, pov shikamaru | rated M |

🖤 14. if you shall permit it, i’d like to smooch your brain: another 5+1 crack treated seriously fic in which a raging sapiosexual shikamaru finds naruto irresistible because he’s sort of an unconventional genius. it’s majorly a fic about boys of konoha 12 hanging out together, gallivanting. also non-linear and imo, quite funny | 21k words | 6/6 | complete | pov!shikamaru, smart!naruto, crack treated seriously | rated T |

15. मैं और तुम (me and you): my first ever hindi fanfic about shikamaru and naruto spending some time together. that’s it, lol. my capacity to write longform hindi stuff is extremely limited | 557 words | complete | shayar!naruto | rated G |

16. anbu’s infamous throuple: as the name suggests, this is, obviously, another shikasasunaru poly fic in which they’re all anbu members. it is an epistolary fic and also sort of crackish. sasuke and shikamaru are friends but naruto has a hate-your-guts mutually antagonistic dynamic with sasuke while he gets along quite well with shikamaru. naruto is a squad captain, sasuke is his liaison officer which is totally a real position and not something i created for plot purposes. shikamaru is a communications specialist | 1.8k words | 1/5 | incomplete | bamf!everyone, anbu!shikasasunaru, epistolary fic | rated M |

that concludes the list. the seventeeth fic is actually the sequel to twist in time. i will regularly update this masterlist, as and when new updates/fics are put up!

if any of this sounds like your cup of tea, read on and enjoy! <3

Frick it, we ball

KISMET HEADCANNONS for some future fan stuff I wanna make... Goes with this post kinda

Under a cut because it's LONG (the fixation has been REAL)

Gen

They band was formed shortly after the events of Trolls 1. It's the only way they make sense in my mind's timeline.

Branch was trying to get more involved with Troll village without relying on Poppy to connect him with people. He formed his own group of friends, and they became Kismet after realizing how much they enjoyed harmonizing/performing together.

These guys give me frat boy energy for some reason. They just collectively become more chaotic when they're around each other. Yes, even Branch. He and Hype play hot potato with the braincell because otherwise, nothing would get done in this group.

As they got to know one another, teasing one another became their primary love language. Lots of jabs and quips will fly among them when they're together, but they each know it's all in good fun.

Branch

Branch kept his involvement in the band a secret because, well...y'know. He has complicated history with being in a boyband, so he wanted to explore his feelings about Kismet without being bombarded with input from people outside the group.

He's fond of his friends and genuinely enjoys being a part of the band though! He just wants to be sure he's a part of this boy band because he's happy being with them and not because he's trying to recapture something he'd lost 20 years ago.

At first, the others were (understandably) hurt by Branch's desire to keep his place in the band a secret, but after he explained his reasons, they were willing to support him.

They were absolutely thrilled when he finally becomes open about the band though!

During the secrecy period, when he performs in Pop Village, he hides his identity behind a disguise that somehow works (Branch, every time it works: "wtf????"), and he goes by a stage name.

Hype

Officially the group leader, but he's more of a mediator than anything. He relies on the rest of the group to give their input for any big band decisions, but he coordinates band meetings, schedules gigs, and works out compromises if there's any group conflicts.

He and Branch had been childhood friends before The Incident(s) estranged them. Back in the Troll Tree, they'd been neighbors whose parents (Branch's grandma; Hype's mom) set up on frequent playdates, so they'd been really close.

They reconnected after the events of movie 1, Hype introduced Branch to Trickee and later Boom. Trickee brought in Ablaze and the rest was history.

Hype is a social butterly but he's otherwise one of the more calm personalities in the group. He feeds off of other people's energy and is a bit of a people-pleaser. Luckily, he's pretty good at finding the right crowd to run with, otherwise he'd probably land in so much trouble.

Boom

Hype's cousin, and a big party person! Before the band took off, he DJ'd at a party venue in Pop Village. That same place was also where Kismet got their first gig!

He loves loud music and flashy parties where he can shine on the dance floor and make memories people he may only know for a night.

Peak ADHD Energy™. He's a chatterbox. He has no volume control. He tunnel visions so hard, he becomes that B99 headphones meme. The man has cool guy syndrome, no doubt about it!

For the creation of the Band earliest albums, Boom took charge as the producer. He loves messing with music, mixing and remixing sounds on his free time and experimenting with the genre.

Trickee

A thrill-seeking menace to society. He's adventurous and loves taking huge risks for the adrenaline rush. He's the type of guy who would go down a waterfall in a barrel or ski down a dangerous mountain just to see if he survives it.

Everyone in the band is in agreement about protecting Trickee from his own shenanigans. They are 70% of his self-preservation senses.

He also loves a party scene and can often be found with Boom leading the charge towards any good time.

You know that sense of dread before performing in front of a crowd? The way your belly flips and your heart races and you're sure you're shaking hard enough for everyone to see? Trickee lives for that shit when he's in the band. The jitters can get to him, for sure, but afterwards, the man is LIVING from coming out alive on the other side, and he's sharing that thrill with everyone else in the band!

Ablaze

A Rock Troll who has lived among the Pop Trolls since he was a teenager. He stumbled across them while looking for a place to belong, and despite what he was raised to believe about Pop Trolls, he came to love their warmth and friendliness. So he moved in and let everyone assume he was just an odd-looking Pop Troll.

He an Trickee are housemates (podmates?)--not for romantic reasons but because they're longtime friends. When Trickee moved out of his family's home, Ablaze invited him over, and they liked the living arrangement enough to keep it permanent.

At first, Ablaze isn't open about his identity as a Rock Troll, but as he grew closer with the other members of Kismet, he came out to them. By the events of Trolls 2, he's open about being a Rock Troll.

Ablaze's personality sits somewhere in the realm of both chaotic and laid back. On the outside, he's usually pretty chill, but if Boom or Trickee have trouble afoot, Ablaze is usually there egging them on in the background, much to Branch's dismay.

He becomes extremely energetic when he's performing. The more exciting the song, the more vibrant he becomes! The energy is one of the reasons he loves pop music so much, but he can also get hyped from performing rock music. He gets kinda intense though lmao.

The first time the rest of Kismet sees him jamming to rock, they're like "OH. He's definitely a rock troll O_O" They support their rock-n-roll brethren 🤟😔

He has a special interest in fire, particularly fireworks. Back in Pop Village, he even made a business of it, making small rockets, sparklers, and other celebratory items for all your Pop party needs.

Anyway that's all the headcannon stuff I'll share for now. Hope y'all liked reading xD I'm really hoping my attention span will stick around long enough for me to share more in the future, because this fixation has been A Time™/pos

Part 14:

Kevin was thankful that Ed had an inexplicable amount of strength within him. If it were not for that the jock had no idea how else they would have gotten Eddward into the Janitor’s office. It was a bit cramped inside, but it was large enough that Kevin and Eddward along with Ed and Eddy fit inside with some extra elbow room.

Eddward was dropped unceremoniously on the floor as he landed on his backside with a thud. He sneered up at them as he sat up though he did not appear inclined to stand. As if none of this posed a threat to him.

“And what, if I may ask, do you hope to accomplish by bringing me here?” Eddward inquired, his tone condescending.

Ed and Eddy could only stare at him in confusion while Kevin snapped back at him, dragging a chair over, “Shut up. Don’t talk unless I fucking tell you to.”

“Language,” Eddward quipped with a smirk. The familiar correction sent a visible shiver down Eddy’s spine as he stared at the double. The tone, the manner in which it was spoken—-all mimicked Double D perfectly. It was eerie. Just who is this guy? Eddy was eager to find out especially with all the weird stuff going on nowadays.

Kevin abandoned the chair and stomped over to the darker teen and pulled him by the front of his coat and up onto his feet, “Especially that bullshit.”

“I have no idea what you mean, Kevin,” the other still looked defiant and amused as he rolled with the motions.

Kevin shook him with the hold he had on his clothes. “What or what the fuck are you?”

“Human the last time I checked,” Eddward said with a frown as he rolled his eyes. He acted as if this was all a huge waste of his time.

Kevin huffed angrily at this copy—-this imposter. He never felt such foul disgust and hatred toward any human being other than Eddy. Even so, that rivalry was friendly compared to this new one that manifested with Eddward. Kevin wanted the other teen gone. But the fact that the darker teen only treated this as a game just sent Kevin into a more volatile mindset; “gone” was not good enough. For what Eddward did to Double D, Kevin wanted him dead. The jock never bothered to question those emotions.

“Alright, you want to play that game? We’ll fucking play,” Kevin threatened punishment with his tone, gritting his teeth in an attempt to quell his temper, “What do you want with Double D?”

Eddward only removed Kevin’s hold on his clothing, treating his hand as one would a mere fly, “Awfully demanding of you, don’t you think?”

“Talk, asshole,” Kevin shoved him as he straightened his posture and encroached on him. While the two teens spoke with one another, Ed appeared as if he were completely heartbroken by the entire scenario playing out before him and Eddy.

“Eddy?” Ed whispered, not wanting to be heard by the other two, “Where’s our Double D?”

Eddy kept his eyes trained on Eddward, still trying to make heads and tails of him, “Can it, mono brow. Double D’s fine.” They had spoken on the phone earlier that morning. Other than some jitters in his tone, Double D sounded healthy for the most part. But then again, Eddy was not able to see him in person. From the way Kevin was acting then something must have happened.

“What should we do?” Ed bit his nails and ran them over his face and through his hair, fidgeting. His kind heart could barely take this while the others argued.

“Sheesh, Ed,” Eddy turned to him, “Go outside and guard the door or something.” Ed agreed fervently before he clambered outside though he remained in front of the door as instructed. Eddy stood in his place as he tried to gather whatever info that spouted out from the banter the other two shared. For once in Eddy’s life, he had to stay quiet and listen. He jumped with a start when flesh smacked with a sickening thud as Kevin’s fist collided with Eddward’s face.

Their previous fist fight picking up again without the student body as their audience. Eddward stumbled back from the force only to have another fist slam into his middle that bent him forward, wind knocked out.

Kevin shoved him to the floor as he shook his hand out, “I want some answers here. So start talking.”

“Your guess is as good as mine,” Eddward hummed, “I want out of here as much as you want me gone.”

“Not til I like what I hear,” Kevin spat. Eddward frowned at him, that dark aura emanating around him before it dissipated once more. The jock observed it as he seen the same sort of anomaly happen the night Double D was attacked.

Eddward stood up, brushing himself off with a huff, “Well, I suppose you leave me with little choice. I’m not one for receiving more pain than requested.” The redhead backed off of him, curious as to what he had to say yet still wary of any false moves.

“This is a dream, and I’m still trying to figure out how to wake up. So far, the only thing standing in the way of that is your precious Double D…or so I’m told.” Kevin blinked, unsure of how to react to such an outlandish proclamation. However, the other appeared rational and serious about what he said. But it explained nothing and it did not justify his previous assault on the smart Ed. Kevin frowned, not finding the explanation satisfactory.

“Now if you’ll excuse me,” Eddward smirked as he took a couple lazy steps towards the door while Eddy braced himself, “I shall take my leave.”

Kevin stopped him with an arm, “Alright, dork, I’ll bite. What’s your beef with Double D?” Eddward chuckled, pausing his exit.

“Well, if I’m to be stuck here, I might as well find a place for myself; Double D seems to have the spot I wish to take. We’re awfully similar—-it makes me sick,” That dark aura surrounded Eddward once more as he removed Kevin’s hold on him for the umpteenth time.

The jock grabbed him by the front of his clothing, drawing him in at a threatening proximity, “What makes you think you’re the same you fucker. You’re nothing alike and it’s pretty damn obvious.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, Kevin,” Eddward rolled his eyes, “I’m not sure how clear I can make myself. Maybe it’s your simple minded thinking that’s hindering your comprehension.” Kevin struck him across the face once more and threw his weight in order to pin Eddward to the floor. To hell with “reasoning” and “negotiating”

“You’re not Double D!”

Kevin punched him again.

“You’re nothing—-!”

Another sickening smack of bone and skin.

“—-like—-!”

Another strike that bloodied Eddward’s nose.

“HIM!!”

Kevin landed one final hit that powered the inexplicable rage he felt and knocked the other teen cold. Angry huffs of air and strained silence filled the office. Eddy felt it was not his place to speak or protest. He could only stand in his spot, stunned. The jock shook his head and rubbed his nose with his sleeve, trying to quell his overflowing temper as he stood off of Eddward.

“You killed him…,” Eddy accused though astonished. Kevin rolled his eyes, still catching his breath.

“He’s still breathing, stupid,” Kevin dismissed.

Eddy allowed the breath he was holding to escape with a sigh, “Was what he said true?”

“What do you think?” Kevin snapped, “Made sense in this jerk’s head and look what good that did. As much sense as your stupid ideas.” Eddy made a face though he found it in him to laugh, seeing some humor despite the events.

“He’s nothing like Dee,” Eddy added. Kevin hummed, finger on his mouth as he observed Eddward’s unconscious form.

“Whatch thinkin’, Shovel-Chin?” Eddy approached to stand by him though he kept his distance.

Kevin allowed his hand to reach down towards the black beanie on Eddward’s head, “…I wonder…”

“Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard…”
