9- Shikaku scene (from… er, the Shikaku fans? Only takes events till/in chapter 11 in to account.)
Shikaku drained his cup of sake and frowned when the alcohol failed to induce any pleasant buzz over his thoughts. He motioned for the waiter to bring another bottle to the table just as Inoichi and Chouza sat down.
“Oi, oi, Shikaku, what’s the rush?” Inoichi said in amusement. “You started drinking without us, even though we're only ten minutes late.”
“And you didn't even order any snacks,” Choza said waved to another waiter. “Is something bothering you?”
“That stupid brat,” Shikaku said and drained another cup, “is going to get himself killed.”
“What did Shikamaru do this time?”
Shikaku just shook his head. “Maybe it's just their generation. Now that I think about it, they're all too... stupidly suicidal.”
Inoichi stared at him. “What the hell happened to you today?”
Choza seemed rather worried. “Did something really happen to Shikamaru?”
Shikaku scoffed. “It's only a matter of time before he ends up doing something stupid. That's how they'll all be especially if a non-ninja their age acts like that...”
Inoichi and Choza shared confused looks.

A/N: This is terribly incomplete. I started it ages ago and re-opened it recently to complete it but I can't remember what I wanted to convey through this scene. Darn my lazy procrastination and bad memory.
Interesting things I've come across
1- Cauterize by Lady Altair [Harry Potter fanfiction]
This story is a bit old and it's been reviewed heavily, but I just came across it recently and I have to say it really deserves all the reviews it's gotten. It's a very realistic look at the aftermath of DH- more specifically all the survivors. Even though it's a short story- it does manage to convey a lot of emotion with few words. Definitely a must-read. Although I do wish there was some mention of Hermione in there...
2- HPXSupernatural (100 theme challenge) by sa_kun
A different take on the whole Master of Death thing. I have to say- I love the universe created in these drabbles. Harry has become an interesting character after his contact with the Hallows and him meeting the cast of SPN in this story was fun to read. No pairings have been stated- so that's a plus for me. Another plus has to be the unique ideas in it.
