Author has written 8 stories for Tales of the Abyss, Maid Sama!, and Naruto. Welcome to my profile. I recently changed my pen name from EverCrimson to Liberty SleepStorm. Please do not get confused. Thank you. I am working on updating my stories regarding my pen name. Need a bio? I’m afraid I have nothing very interesting to give you, so here’s something you might prefer instead: Cherished and Forgotten Revised - Tales of the Abyss: Natalia and Asch needs to talk, and an accidental fall to an underground haven of Mushroom Road gives them the perfect opportunity. It has become awkward between them, and a wall has occupied what once had been trust. While Natalia attempts a confrontation, Asch is forced to face his fear of losing her…and being completely, painfully, honest with her. Only later will he know that it was that one, brave act of his that will cost them their lives. (Sequel’s plot à see The Princess and The Asch Forgotten) Author’s Memo: I had played and fantasized about Tales of the Abyss for a very long time. I mean, c’mon, the plot is good and the characters are adorable. The reason I revised Cherished and Forgotten is because as I have grown more mature (hopefully), I have learned to glimpse at the real aspect of things…including the fictional romance between Asch and Natalia. It wasn’t very emphasized in the story or in the anime, so I might as well do the job here. The little fluff at the end, though, is tribute to two things: a. this is still game/anime and I’d hate for them to drift so far from their naiveté and cliché because, after all, their relationship is still blooming, and; b. as aforementioned, they are young and naïve. Saving the world is different from saving the love of your life; the latter risks more than physical damage, but mental and emotional that one could live with forever. Haha, this is getting serious, eh? The Princess and The Asch Forgotten - Tales of the Abyss: Three weeks after Asch and Natalia were found covered in the petals of a mysterious silver flower, Jade sends a letter to Tear asking for help. The discovery of the flower’s origins threatens the truce between Malkuth and Kimlasca, and its effects threatens more than the lives of Natalia and Asch, but of every one they cared about. Luke is given the opportunity to leave and find his place in the world, only to have to decide if he can truly abandon Natalia in her time of need. Tear suppresses the pain of her brother’s loss to correct everything he had done wrong, never thinking Asch will be her biggest assignment. Guy has always been content with just watching over the girl he loves – the girl he will never have, until one encounter requires him to cross that boundary the world calls forbidden. Anise realizes the time turns and time passes and she will not always be a child, but the hardest decisions she has to make in order to grow are ones that will cut deeper than they’re supposed to. Asch suffers from pain every time he thinks of Natalia, until Jade and Tear points out it isn’t the mere thought of her that triggers the reactions, and the only way to spare her from the same agony obliges him to hurt her more than he could bear. Natalia clings to the accident in Mushroom Road as her one hope to bring Asch back and fulfill their promise for peace in Auldrant, but how can she do that when she is an impostor? Jade gets spun in the circle of this story more as the enemy’s plot unfolds, and he finds that it will be in his best interest to save the redhead and the princess before it’s too late. My Toes, My Knees, My Shoulders, My Head – Naruto: Shikamaru, Sakura, and Sai leaves Konoha for a mission that requires only the brain, and comes back home with the need to save their hearts from the effects of a failed manipulation of the enemy. Shikaku’s fatherhood is put to the test when the identity of his son is questioned. Lady Tsunade’s luck runs out when Sakura’s salvation is nowhere to be found, and she encounters a wound that cannot be healed by her hands. Ino’s decisions prove crucial if it comes to a point where she can only choose between her friendship with Sakura and her growing infatuation for Shikamaru. Naruto’s optimism threatens to run dry after he comes back to Konoha only to be confronted with the possibility of losing Sakura and Sai as well. Shikamaru’s intelligence betrays him, and he has to think more than two hundred steps ahead if he wants to save Sakura’s spirit from disappearing and the rest of her from becoming a sacrifice for Konoha. Sakura’s strength is the only thing keeping her intact…and one man’s effort to win her battle. Sai’s drawings come to life as he is introduced to a family beyond mere ink and paper…and what it means to die for them. Author’s Memo: All I can really say is I hope you will grow to love this fanfiction as much as I do! This started as a plot for a quick one-shot between my two favorite characters: Shikamaru and Sakura. They’re okay for me as a couple, but I’m hesitant to ship to them especially because I am more inclined to their original pairings in the manga and in the anime. I am not a fan of Ino, to be honest, but writing in Shikamaru’s point of view obliged me to see past her blonde hair and mid-drift, purple outfit. Also, I am fairly in love with the father-and-son relationship of Shikaku and Shikamaru. I am giving them a chance to be real people in this fic, handling what could mean losing real loved ones and making real, heart-breaking decisions in honor of their village and their ninja ways. ENJOY! (Summaries for the one-shots and other in-progress fanfictions will be added in the coming days/weeks. Thank you.) Disclaimer: I really don’t own anything here except for a few added characters and the plots branched from the original plots of the original authors.
