Hello! Being a fan of Shikaku, i wanted to recommend a fan fic on AO3 called Kings and pawns. Shikaku isn't the main character, it's Shikamaru, but i love him every time he's in a scene!
!! That fic is in my bookmarks I’m waiting for it to complete before I read it bc I’m very impatient and I never read fics as they come out. (I’m a hypocrite I know ;w;) I’m also really strict on how Shikaku is written but that fic was recommended by a friend who said I’d love it.
Publication finishes January 31st. There's 6 chapters left (plus an epilogue i may or may not be working on after all).
