Except its reversed
Tempered In Water is a Alt Fic following the everyday life of a master and his servant (or so the servant claims)... in other words Naruto, our titular idealistic but idiotic hero, and Haku, a Broken Bird who almost lost her reason to live.
Tropes Covered in the story
- Dead Fic: Has not been updated since 1 February 2009.
- Happiness in Slavery: Haku, for most of her life was only able to feel happiness when serving her master. She changed over time.
- Stepford Smiler: Sakura, beyond her cheerful nature and slightly cruel treatment to Naruto, developed Inferiority Complex over him (and Sasuke).
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Haku's 'reaction' upon her newly-founded jealously. She keeps reminding herself that Naruto is her Master and no more.
