Vows from the Heart

AO3 Link

Fandom: Naruto Pairing: Rock Lee/Sakura Haruno Rating: T Summary: Lee has trouble writing his wedding vows.

Written for @leesakuweek (Day 1: Promise)

~

Lee sat on his sofa, pen tapping against his inky black hair. He gritted his teeth, then picked up the paper in front of him.

"I have been in love with you since before we officially met. I still remember the day we first met, all the way back in the Chunin Exams. You didn’t like me at the time, but that is ok! I was not likable and I bothered you without even considering…”

Lee immediately crumpled it into a ball, then threw it on the floor where it joined a growing mountain of paper.

It was supposed to be one of the happiest times of Lee’s life. After he and Sakura had dated for two years, he’d finally mustered the courage to ask her to marry him. They’d started planning right away, picking out everything from the date to the catering within two weeks. Now, with the wedding only two days away, there was just one major step left: Writing his wedding vows.

LeeSaku Week 2023 (March 20 - March 26)

Love is blossoming in the first week of spring! Come participate in LeeSaku Week 2023 to celebrate this underappreciated ship!

Daily Prompts

Day 1 ~ Promise || Free Day

Day 2 ~ Dreams || Jutsu

Day 3 ~ Seasons || Healing

Day 4 ~ Bloom || Mission

Day 5 ~ Any AU || Tears

Day 6 ~ Dedication || Swap

Day 7 ~ Strength and/or Weakness || Heart

We have two prompts for each day of the event. Please choose between them, combine them, do them both separately, skip days entirely, repeat the same prompt more than once, whatever inspires you! (Day 1’s Free Day prompt means you can do whatever you want for that specific prompt.)

All LeeSaku content is welcome, in any form and medium. We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Please see our Rules/FAQ before participating and send us an ask or message if you have any other questions!

If posting to AO3, here is our AO3 Collection.

Late entry period is until April 16th. (But posts will still be reblogged until the last day of spring June 20th.)

Please consider reblogging this post to spread awareness of the event! Thank you!

If you are on Twitter, we would also appreciate a retweet to spread the word there too!

Follow our Tumblr blog for pre-event activities!

See below the cut for additional event information and the Bonus Bingo Board:

We have a Bonus Bingo Board to go with the Daily Prompts if you want to make things a little more interesting. This part of the event is optional.

For each Daily Prompt you complete, you can check off one box off the Bonus Bingo Board! Turn in your Bonus Bingo Board to us at the end of the event if you complete a whole row!

(Are things getting hard trying to match the Daily Prompts with the Bingo Board boxes? As a hint, we left an exploit in the rules so you may use Day 1’s Free Day or any other prompt multiple times if you wish.)

Daily Prompt Champion & Bingo Board Champion

If you are able to create something for each one of the seven Daily Prompt days, you will be awarded the title of Daily Prompt Champion. If you get at least five in a row in the Bonus Bingo Board, you will be awarded the title of Bingo Board Champion (and extra bragging rights if you get more than one row complete).

For both titles, we will create a showcase post of all of your work you submitted for the event and tag it as “#leesakuweek champions” where there will always be a part of the blog to show you off. If you wish, in this post we can also plug any of your socials or anything else you wish to show our support and appreciation. :)

🍃🌸Event Info🌸🍃

This is an open event and you do not need to sign-up to participate. All ages may participate. You do not need a Tumblr to participate. 

Content You Can Make:

Fanfic, fanart, imagines, fanvids, gif sets, cosplay, playlists, podfics, physical crafts, mood boards, headcanons, meta, etc. Any sort of original fan content is allowed. 

🍃🌸 Rules 🌸🍃

1) Content must be centered around LeeSaku as a ship. Content that has LeeSaku as a background or side pairing to a different primary pairing is not allowed. Platonic interpretations of LeeSaku is allowed, as long as the focus is on their relationship/bond.

2) Only original and new fanwork is accepted. The purpose of this event is to encourage new LeeSaku content to be created. (If you have an existing WIP that hasn’t seen the light of day, that is no problem! Same for works where you have shared small snippets but haven't shared the completed work.)

3) If your work is triggering, sensitive, or contains NSFW, adult content, or dark content it must be appropriately tagged/warned or it won’t be reblogged. If your work is being hosted on Tumblr, please hide the triggering/adult content below a ‘read more’ tag. 

4) Minors cannot create adult content for this event and should not interact with adult content of this event. (To assist with this, a special tag that can be filtered out will be put on certain reblogged posts: "#leesakuweek: mature")

4) Respect the content creators that participate in this event. Any notes or tags that include rude comments, direct or indirect threats will not be tolerated. Bullies will be blocked by the event blog.

5) Content for this event must not be posted before the starting date.

Please read below this cut for more info!

🍃🌸Participation🌸🍃

How to post your work on Tumblr:

1) List the day and prompt you are using in your post for the Daily Prompt. If also working off the Bonus Bingo Board, list what prompt you are using off of there too.

2) Tag @leesakuweek somewhere in the body of your post and tag #LeesakuWeek2023 within the first five tags.

3) Apply a read-more cut to lengthy posts. Posts that contain sensitive/trigger warning content, dark or adult content must be clearly labeled and contained beneath the read-more cut.

4) For fanworks that are shared on Tumblr via an AO3/FFN link: please also include the summary, rating of the piece, and any trigger/content warnings in the body of your post. If sharing an excerpt that contains sensitive content, please put it beneath a read-more cut.

How to participate on another platform:

Post your work to whichever platform you’re using, and then send it to us by using our submit post form. Please do make sure to list the prompt you’re using and any content warnings that might apply. Alternatively, you can also submit the details of your submission in an anon ask and we will format and post it for you!

Posting to AO3:

An AO3 collection is available to post your works to: click here. (Psst! Did you know that fanart can be posted in AO3 too?) Please tag your submission with "LeeSaku Week 2023" on AO3.

Sharing Your Works:

We will be reblogging any works posted to Tumblr, and posting any works submitted via our submit post form or asks. 

🍃🌸FAQ🌸🍃

- Are the Daily Prompts mandatory, or can I write something else if I am struggling to come up with an idea?

The Daily Prompts are mandatory. You can reach out to the Tumblr page if you need help brainstorming! Trust us that you can make the prompts as flexible to your idea as you want! (Hint: We do allow you to use the same prompt more than once, which means you can label your work(s) as "Day 1: Free Day" for the entirety of the event if truly none of the prompts speak to you.)

- Do we have to include both of the Daily Prompts?

No. It’s up to you whether you do one or both. If you wish, you can create a piece for each individual prompt, create a piece including both prompts, or just do one.

-Can I just work exclusively off the Bonus Bingo Board?

Yes, however you still need to label your work with one of the Daily Prompts. "Day 1: Free Day" can be used multiple times if your work(s) doesn't match any of the other Daily Prompts.

- Is there a minimum word count for fanfics or requirements for art and other creations?

Nope! Even if it's just a snippet of a fic you plan to later expand or WIP sketch you did in your notebook in five minutes and took a poor-lighting photo of, we'll accept it. 👍

- Are late entries accepted?

Yes. Late entries will be accepted for up to 3 weeks after the event end date (April 16th) for consideration of any event blog post thanks towards participants or Champion role awards, but we will continue to reblog any late entries until the last day of spring (June 20th).

- What if I can't complete my work by the late entry period?

Share a snippet of a cleaned up portion of a WIP fic, or what you have drawn so far, etc., by the late entry period. You're welcome to mention it is incomplete and that viewers can check your blog out at a later date for completion. But if you can get it done before the last day of spring (June 20th) we'll still reblog it!

- Is it okay if my submission to this event is also for another event?

Yep!

- Are background pairings allowed?

Yep! Lee and Sakura can even be in romantic relationships with other people, but you must emphasize the bond specifically between Lee and Sakura in your work (for example, if writing platonic LeeSaku, or involving poly ships, etc).

- Can I post an unfinished, multi-chapter work?

Yes, as long as you post the first chapter within the event period, you are welcome to post unfinished works to this event. You do not need to complete the unfinished work by the event end and can update it at your leisure.  A new work in an already existing series is also acceptable.

-Is NSFW, adult content, and dark content allowed?

Yes. It is the intention of this event to not put restrictions on objectionable content and instead put the responsibility in the hands of participants and viewers to not interact with content that they consider upsetting. Just make sure that if you share it on Tumblr, it does not break Tumblr's Community Guidelines (if it does, censor the Tumblr post and have an outside link to the uncensored work). As mentioned, make sure you include ample trigger warnings on these submissions and hide the sensitive/adult content below a read-more cut.

-What if I want to include my event submission as a unique one-shot in a giant multi-fandom/multi-ship AO3 fic?

This is not allowed because these types of fics are typically hard to navigate and find the relevant content. Please make a separate fic for your event submission. (You are allowed to group your LeeSaku one-shots together in a single fic if every single chapter pertains to this event.)

- What if I have other questions?

Please send a message or an ask to this event page. If you would like us to reply privately, please let us know in your ask, and make sure that you are not on anon.

Please check out the event page for the latest updates and announcements!  💕

🍃🌸Pre-Event Activities 🌸🍃

While we’re eagerly awaiting LeeSaku Week 2023, let’s get excited about the ship!

🍃🌸 Spread the Love Activity! 🌸🍃

Send us an ask, submission, or tag us in a post recommending existing LeeSaku works for us to appreciate! Tell us why you love it!  

LeeSaku can be a bit of a small, underappreciated ship, so we encourage anyone who sees the post reblogged to our page to try and leave a nice comment on the recommended work to make the creator’s day. :) 

(Please do not repost fanwork and instead share a direct link to the original work. Please also include any important age/content warnings too if needed.)

🍃🌸Ask Activity🌸🍃

At any time, send us an ask and talk to us about the ship! Whether it is:

1) Why you ship/love LeeSaku

2) Favorite LeeSaku moment

3) Things/Changes you would have liked to have seen in canon in relation to LeeSaku

5) LeeSaku headcanons

6) Anything else you want to share, gush, or blab in relation to the ship! This can include what you’re working on for the event, idea sharing/brainstorming, etc. We are happy to talk to you about it and generate shared discussion with the blog and any others who want to join in and have fun. :)  

And no need to be shy, you are welcome to send in multiple asks. 

(As a courtesy, please try and keep ship/character bashing at a minimum to keep things welcoming for multi-shippers. Talking about platonic and poly LeeSaku is also welcome.) 

🍃🌸Polls Activity🌸🍃

This blog will generally make some fun LeeSaku related polls to interact with prior to the event, but if you have a LeeSaku poll idea you’d like to share, tag us in one you made yourself or send us an ask and we’ll make it to share!

Thank you so much, LeeSaku Week 2023 Participants! 💕

@spellcasterlight

@lotusfartstwice

@drindrak-art

@nightingaleflow

@bizawa-art

(and myself, @valkyriav)

I can’t express my appreciation enough for you all spending time on creating fanworks for this rarepair event! All of your entries were incredible and I loved them very much! Thank you for making my very first hosted fandom event a success. I couldn’t have done it without you guys! 🥰

For anyone stumbling across this post, please check out this blog to see all their wonderful fanworks and please give them some deserved love. Also consider checking out the participant blogs; you will not be disappointed with their other works. ♥️

For the Daily Prompt Challenge Champion role, I will soon create a separate pinned post to display on this blog front and center until the next time I might host a LeeSaku event. Stay tuned for that post.

As a reminder, while the deadline for any Champion roles and thank you announcements have passed, if you wish to still create fanworks, I will still reblog LeeSaku works that relate to this event until the last day of spring, June 20th. The springtime of LeeSaku doesn't end until the last day of spring, after all. 🌸🍃

One month to go until LeeSaku Week 2023! 🌸🍃

Just a reminder post that LeeSaku Week 2023 is coming up from March 20 - March 26 for anyone interested in participating! 💕

Thanks to all who participated in LeeSaku Week 2023 (so far)! 💕

Thank you to everyone who shared your fantastic works this week to give this ship a little more love! 

Check out this blog to see everyone’s lovely work and give them some attention! (And if I missed your submission please shoot me a DM.) 

As a reminder, we have two late window deadlines. If you want to be a part of any closing congratulatory/thank you posts, bragging rights titles, etc., tag this blog with your submission by April 16th.

But the Springtime of LeeSaku does not end in merely one week! This event started on the first day of spring, and so thus I will still reblog any particularly late submissions until the last day of spring, June 20th. 

So for any of you fellow procrastinators or slow creators, or someone who just discovered this event a little too late, you still have an opportunity to create something. After all, the point of this event was to encourage creation of more LeeSaku fanwork, so the more the merrier.

While we are working on completing our finalized prompt list for the LeeSaku Week 2023 event, we welcome any suggestions for prompts! Feel free to send them in an ask or a private message and we will consider them for the finalized prompt list! 💕

Ignore my last post about LeeSaku Week 2023 being next week. It actually is this week! Looks like I got my calendar mixed up. 😅

But if I confused anyone, don't panic, the event has a generous late entry window ✨
