Title: Introductions
Summary: Their contract was made with the Hatake clan generations ago; it's inevitable that Hatake Kakashi will have a pack.

All of Hatake Sakumo’s dogs had been white, most of them big and fluffy. Sakumo — who’d died before Pakkun was even old enough to speak — had had one specialized tracker, three combat-specialized dogs, and one dog that could do either but was also suited for carrying messages over long distances.

The humans had called him White Fang, and when Pakkun was a pup those white dogs had lolled in the grasses of home and talked about how strong their human was, how fierce, how loyal. Thrilling stories, like myth and legend, and none of them had ever, ever wanted to talk about how Hatake Sakumo died.

“Kakashi’s my summoner now, so I have to know,” Pakkun had eventually argued, hardly realizing at the time that he was even more of a child than Kakashi, unblooded and idealistic. He had not been deterred by offers to play, by friendly roughhousing, by the oft-stated promise that knowledge would come with time. “Some things can’t wait,” he’d told Sakumo’s pack.

It looks like wafflelate  has already beaten me to it, but look, with tumblr starting its slow implosion, that means I need to go somewhere else for my fannish needs, and this is the only halfway recent comm on dreamwidth for Naruto, so I'm going to yank this thing from the ashes with everything I've got. I hope some of you are left and still paying attention.

For starters, I'm theroadkillcafe, or Roadkill. I've been in fandom since at least 2003, and Naruto specifically since I don't know when. At least ten years. My favorite character to write about is Haruno Sakura, but I like or am ambivalent about most characters in the series. I write everything from PWP of varying levels of kink to multi chapter plotty fics. Other fandoms for me include Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, MCU, Supernatural, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and more.

I don't know what else to include at the moment, but feel free to check out my journal. I will post about real life stuff, Naruto (fics and more meta-ish stuff), other fandoms and fannish things, knitting, and linguistics (particularly Japanese linguistics). At some point I'm going to start including posts of my own fics here, just to keep reminding you guys that this place exists and to get some chatter going again.
