End Notes:

Free verse is fun.

Most of these are going to be characters that I love (Haku, Gaara, Sasuke)

However, I plan to do with different couples (canon or not) and even characters that I don't

like.

(Spoilers: there's a lot about Haku, i'm not jocking, i love this little dead child so much.)
