Name: Aria Illusine, please call me Aria ^^

Age: Junior in university

I have many favorite pairings, but I'm currently only writing for the Naruto fandom, and when it comes to that, my OTP is ItaSaku! I still love it, even though it's crack XD

Anthologies

Red Threads of Daybreak (Varied), Hiwaya (mostly AU, some NM)Nevermore

Red Thread of Daybreak is a collection of drabbles with various Sakura-and-an-Akatsuki-member pairings.

Hiwaya is a collection of first-chapters from story ideas I've written down ages ago. They're just trial runs to actual stories that might get written once Belonging is finished, but if you find one you like, please review it! It has a better chance of getting written sooner that way.

Stories from Hiwaya include:

Academia: Modern AU ItaSakuDei. Sakura won a scholarship to Senju Academy for the Gifted, but she's in for a surprise when she learns her dorm consists of senior Shikigami (not shinigami) Konan, and juniors Kyoku Deidara, and Uchiha Itachi. (I gave Konan and Deidara last names from their best jutsus) She hates Itachi because he turned down his position as the heir of Uchiha Inc, leaving her best friend Sasuke at the mercy of the mercenary Uchiha business elders. Deidara hates HER because of circumstances that ended up with the art department of the her old school in flames and Sasori removed to Germany. Let's just say it's not the best of living situations.

Sharingan: Modern AU MultiSaku. Walking home from the library one evening, twenty-one year old Sakura is attacked. When she wakes up, she finds her life has been flipped upside down because the man who bit her was a vampire. And now she's one too. Taken in by the Uchiha clan of vampires who have been hunting the one who attacked her for years, she must learn the ropes of being a vampire as well as handle being part of the hunt along with Itachi, Sasuke, Shisui, and Kakashi.

Behind Silk Curtains: AkaSaku AU with an Arabian Nights and ancient Japan feel to it...It's Sakura's 18th birthday. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate, like that her mother will soon announce her as the legitimate Heir to the Konoha Empire, that Shizune might begin teaching her the most advanced medical techniques, that she's survived to this long without an arranged marriage. But it all comes crashing down in flames when Sakura discovers nine men in her chambers, courtesy of some very evil nobleman at the Imperial Court. And Sakura learns just how evil when they attempt to kill her and she is forced to make an insane bargain with them to save her life. Worst of all is the discovery that these men are actually the members her very own HAREM.

Omiai: Non-Mass ItaSaku. When Mikoto decides Itachi has had enough trouble from the clan elders about getting married, she persuades Tsunade to agree to him having an omiai, a formal marriage interview, with Sakura. While Tsunade thinks that the whole business is one very formal date to show the elders of Itachi's "willingness" to find a wife, Mikoto's not so sure. But the whole thing swings on whether or not Sakura's willing to give one of her best friends' brother a chance.

Fair Winds: AU MultiSaku, when Sakura's stepfather, Orochimaru, decides to marry her off to one of his privateering captains to keep Sakura's impressive inheritance as part of his less-than-legal business capital, she decides she's had enough. She runs away on one of his ships with the intent to start a new life, only to be caught by the ship's captain. About to be held for ransom, the ship is attacked by a band of pirates, who kidnap the girl on a whim, promising to give her passage to the next port with a little something to start a new life if she'll be the ship's medic until they can find a new one (the old one...well...let's not go into that). But will her desires to begin anew hold up as she spends time with the Ravenhelm's crew, or will everything come to nothing when they begin being targeted not only by her stepfather but Danzo of the Royal Navy as well?

Timeless: Old England AkaSaku AU set in 1876, Sakura is living in a Victorian mansion with nine men who claim to be her "cousins" but are actually her immortal guardians with various reasons why they've come to live in the mortal world, away from the Night Realm and taking care of one mortal girl. Innocent as the dawn, Sakura has been protected from other immortals, the evils of life, and boys since as long as she can remember, but she's aware that she isn't immortal. So she takes matters into her own hands as she tries to find a way to become immortal to stay with her beloved family forever.

Future Works and Story Ideas That May or May Not Happen

Off-Set: A series of funny little oneshots about what goes on off set of the filming of Naruto. This is the world where Sasuke is a player with a tomato fetish, Deidara's hair is so long and luscious because of extensions, and Kisame is unspeakably handsome under his makeup. The cast of famously popular TV show, NARUTO, is a lot like what you already know them as...and a lot MORE like nothing they're like on TV.

Tsukuyomi: When Itachi puts Tsukuyomi on Sakura, he gets trapped in her mental landscape. When the quirks of Sakura's mental idiosyncrasies lock both Sakura and Itachi in her mental world, Inner takes over the kunoichi's body and hauls Itachi's unconscious body back to Konoha. Unfortunately, with the effects of Tsukuyomi and Sakura's own split-personality with Inner, the few seconds that should end the jutsu's effect are extended. Indefinitely. Powerless in the landscape of Sakura's mind where Inner holds all the power, Itachi finds himself tied to a sakura tree with a very irritated kunoichi. Thank goodness she can't access her chakra either, right?

Shaman's Daughter: Placed up here because this one really HAS to get written eventually...based off of my Halloween fic, The Haunting, Sakura is a girl who doesn't really find any pull towards the supernatural, in spite of having a shaman for a mother. But when the house that she leases to live at for her last two years of med school turns out to be haunted, her own shamanistic powers blossom and she has to deal with three cursed ghosts who are stuck in her house and unable to move on to the next life. Welcome to a world of ghosts and mysticism, spectral men of undying attractiveness, and an evil entity whose hatred has lasted past death and centuries...who doesn't care who it obliterates in its goal to forever torment its enemies. KakaSaku, ItaSaku, NaruSaku.

Beyond the Border of Night and Day: AU KakaSaku and a retelling of the fairytale East of the Sun and West of the Moon, Sakura sells herself as the bride of a great white wolf to get her family out of debt against her mother's wishes. But where does becoming the wife of a shape-shifting wolf lead? Chapter Fic

Looking Glass Requiem: AU Modern ItaSaku fic, Sakura is a 24-year-old grad student, a down-to-earth, no-nonsense, I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it kind of girl. But when an antique mirror Sakura buys on a whim ends up being haunted by a ghost with pale skin and long, dark hair, she ends up with more than she bargained for. Her house is suddenly haunted by a dark, brooding ghost that won't leave her alone until she solves the mystery around his death! So now Sakura's juggling her research load, her coursework, and one ghost's mission for the truth... Chapter Fic

Hime-sama: AU ItaSaku set in a feudal-Japan-esque setting/era, the emperor's son, Uchiha Itachi, must marry for the benefit of Hi no Kuni (Fire Kingdom); his father the Emperor chooses the young daughter of the Seventh District daimyo, Haruno Sakura. But Sakura has lived a quiet life learning to be a healer in her rural district; forced into this betrothal, she has only her sole retainer, Umino Iruka, and her childhood friend, Naruto, to help her through the arduous process of becoming the first prince's wife, and the empress of the land. Chapter Fic

Your Taste On My Tongue: An AU four-part series of oneshots for the four seasons, each pairing Sakura with a different guy and utilizing a different drink (yeah I know weird...). Drinks are chilled sake, soda, green tea, and coffee, the boys are Kakashi, Naruto, Gaara, and Itachi. Think of it as my way of releasing post-final stress. Oneshots

Please look my up on dA, where I'll post scenes from my fanfics when I've got the chance! Just click Aria Illusine and it'll take you straight to my deviantART account!

If you're a fan of Naruto and like text-based online games, here's one I found that I completely fell in love with XD It's really fun finding all the super cool parallels between characters! (trust me, they stare you in the face like no other and are a fangirl's dream come true...if you've got a sense of humor =P)

Please PM me if there's any particular story you'd like me to write first before the others, or if there's a setting/scenario (preferably AU) you'd particularly like to see and I'll see if I can work it in around my schedule

I'm probably setting myself up for insanity by doing this...especially during finals week...

I AM TAKING REQUESTS.

Yup, that's right, I'll be taking fic requests (oneshots only though ^^; as I can't seem to get the muse to work for me). At the moment, I'm leaving five spots open (shown below) for requests, and when I get done with those I may take on more. This will have to be over the summer (starting in about three days) and there are a few guidelines, but after that point, it's really anything goes. Just PM me with the pairing and as many or few instructions as you'd like to see. The first five people to PM me with a request that fits under the guidelines will get the five slots.

Guidelines are: The pairing has to be het Naruto, involving Sakura as the leading lady (sorry ^^; I just don't have confidence in writing any of the other girls accurately just yet...). Other than that, anything goes I guess. Any guy is fine, any rating is fine, just give me a few details on what you want, or be really specific, that's fine too, and I'm sure you'll inspire the muse to crack her whip at me. Frightening thought, but the summer is here and I want to write as I haven't been able!

1. lumiere-is-light, a GaaSaku "A Touch of Fear" Romance

2. child of a fallen angel, an ItaSaku "Watermelon Drums" Humor/Romance (COMPLETED AND POSTED!)

3. JustALittleTwisted, a NejiSaku "Leaf-Scented" Humor/Romance

4. popprincess.57, a DeiSaku "Last Sight Seen" Romance

5. Akatsuki Sakura Uchiha, an ItaSaku "A Taste for Revenge" Humor/Romance

Thanks so much for applying for a fic (I think the muse just gagged at my own presumptiousness), if I haven't managed to accept your request due to the slots being filled (...yeah they're empty as I write this...good grief I feel full of it...) please accept my apologies. Hopefully I can get to it at a later date!

Current Active Betas: Nichibotsu (Ginkan), Cynderfire

But, the more the merrier! I like having several people beta my work, so if you'd like to beta for me, please PM me!

Aria Illusine, out.
