Our monthly fic rec is back! Since it’s Spooky month, we’ve decided on Monsters as our theme; and we’ve found a nice selection of fics for you to enjoy, featuring all kinds of interesting stories!
We have six recs in this post; but if you are an 18+ member, there are four more in our Lemon Bar category you can read that are rated Mature & higher, and contain content & trigger warnings. We have opted to move them there so that the forum can stay a safe place for all; but even so, please double check the tags on the ones in this list, just in case we’ve missed something!
Enjoy! And please let us know if you have a favourite that isn’t on the list, or share your own fic(s) if it fits the theme! We want to see everything!

Summary:Wolves had been chased out of the forests surrounding Konoha years before the city itself had actually been founded. The Inuzuka, the oldest clan to lay claim to the area before the Senju built it up, had killed and run off the packs of red wolves native to the region both to protect others living in the region and lessen the competition for their own ninken. In all, nearly a century since anyone within the walls of Konohagakure or the thick forests surrounding the city had heard the howl of a wolf.
Until a clear, cold winter night, perhaps a dozen years after the death of the Yondaime Hokage, when the solitary howling of a wolf rang out over the city.

“Err, not a spy,” he scratched at the back of his head and looked to Pakkun desperately but the pug lay still, asleep in Kakashi’s arms. “More like… a spirit?” he cursed inwardly for the involuntary shrug accompanying the unsure tone of his voice. Way to go Iruka.
“…So you’re saying there’s a ghost in my house.”
Iruka winced. “Well when you put it that way…”
