Summary:
About three things Sakura Haruno was absolutely positive. First, nailing the Kazekage on the floor of a greenhouse had not awakened anything in her whatsoever. Second, she absolutely did not have a crush on Gaara, as this was scientifically and morally impossible. Third, Sakura was unconditionally and irrevocably an idiot.

I come bearing smut.

Yes, this story does have the sexy times in it. If that's not your cup of tea, then you probably shouldn't read this. But we do have a whole section for Harry Potter smut-fics, so I figured that there were some of you who would be interested in this.

I'm put this story up for review because it hits all of the points that I think a fic of its genre should. First off, the story is actually well written. There aren't any obvious grammar or spelling mistakes, and the author has great word choice, describing things in an interesting and complex manner. Secondly, the story strikes a fine balance. It keeps itself pretty lighthearted and humorous, yet it is still serious enough that it has a plot to get invested into. Lastly, the story idea isn't something that I've seen done often. Sakura/Gaara is not a super common ship, but the author makes it seem fairly natural. The characters and actions are for the most part pretty believable, and even though the premise is a bit absurd it is executed on well enough that it completely fine.

This is no great literary work (at the end of the day, it is a smut-fic after all), but it was a fairly good way to spend an afternoon. If you have some time to spare I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

4/5

 

It was very cute and I enjoyed reading every moment of it. Would definitely recommend for some light reading.

 

Agreed. It was well written and fun. Solid 4/5 and library material.
