Summary
Father’s words were still echoing in her ears, but in a nonsensical out of order loop: Marriage. Arranged. Alliance. Konoha. Treaty. Duty.

Summary
The councilor looks up at her. “Any questions?”
“No, Sir.”
He nods.
“Good,” he says, not seeming to care too much about the situation at hand. Perhaps they send out more people across the world than she thinks. He lifts a hand and gestures between her and the man. “Temari, this is Shikamaru Nara. Your husband.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Best shikatema fic I’ve ever read, probably one of the best fic I’ve ever read at all. Everything was perfect.

Summary
Shikamaru Nara, a spy in the intelligence diversion of Konoha, his mission was always to keep the politics from getting out of hand, and to keep the public from knowing the dirty secrets behind closed doors.
With the recent threats to the stability of nations, and a woman with a smile so cruel, what was he to do when the lines start blurring and alliances can't be made? (Rated M)Bookmarked by ovalys

Summary
That night was a rushed job. Temari had to fight her muscles shaking as she slid into her sleeves. When her hair was finally tied back with a single ribbon, Temari took off towards the door to her bedroom, slippered feet scuffing against the rug. Her handmaids followed, matching her stiff posture. She did not hesitate in her quick step, although she dreaded each one she took. Dawdling would only make it worse. Other servants were rushing to and fro, frantically lighting candles on the walls. Temari could hear the sound of her father’s voice echoing from the living room as she descended the stairs from the second floor.

Summary
Some defense attorneys are so anti-prosecutor, they cannot hold an amiable conversation. Temari has never understood that perspective.
And, of course, she's always been told the old adage you catch more flies with honey. As though he'll work better with her if they're not arguing all the time.
That's why she's here and talking with him. That's why she's agreed to this single drink even after finding out who she'll be drinking with. That's why she's leaning closer and feeling the ache along the back of her tongue. That's why.
Like she's honey and he's something to be caught.
