Lee / Gaara that *actually makes sense*] and its sequels, Kindred [Longfic] and Missing [Shortfic, Gut-wrenching] *** Break in the Routine [Gen/Humor/Lemon, Kakashi/Gai. The fact that I even have that pairing on this list should tell you how good it is. "Kakashi realized, with some resignation, that he was going to have to kill Anko. Just a little bit."] *** Descent [An ANBU mission. Kakashi and Gai. Also implied Kakashi/Gai.]

JB McDragon: (Not Really) Gay Porn [Shortfic, Humor.

Two young Jinchuurikis escape the Village of Rock, and move in with Naruto. From the perspective of the older of the two oc's, the boy Hikaru.]
