*Gaara sitting in his office*
Gaara: Paper after paper after paper … does it ever end?
*the door suddenly bursts open and Lee strides into the room*
Lee: Gaara! You’re looking wonderful today, as always.
Gaara: *blushing* T-thank you. What are you doing here?
Lee: You’ve been cooped up in this office every day this week, haven’t you? Well, the leaves in my village have all started to change colors; everything looks so beautiful.
Lee: *sits on the edge of Gaara’s desk* I thought maybe I could kidnap the kazekage today, and we could —
*an entire squad of masked sand shinobi run into the room and tackle Lee to the ground*
Lee: O-oi! What the hell — ?!
Random shinobi, speaking into a walkie-talkie: Threat to the Kazekage neutralized. Prepare to move prisoner to holding cell number —
Gaara: STOP! For God’s sake, Lee isn’t a threat! All of you get the hell out of my office!!
*everyone leaves in a hurry*
Gaara: *helping Lee up* Are you alright?!
Lee: I’m okay. Gee, I didn’t realize that your brother had ramped up your security so much.
Gaara: That’s odd because he usually doesn’t call in the special forces unless he identifies something he thinks is a really big threat, which you’re clearly not …
Kankuro, sitting in a tree outside the building and watching: Little brother, you keep letting this guy come around and pretty soon he’ll marry you and take you to the Leaf, too, just like that Nara guy did with Temari. “Not a threat” my ass. No more of the sand siblings will be lost to Konoha, or —
Kiba, standing below the tree, with Akamaru: Hey Kanky! Me and the pup came to visit you <3
Kankuro: oh no

Some Team 8 + Sand Sibs chara sheets
I procrastinated writing yesterday by doing little chara sheets for my polycule AU.
Kiba and Shino have been dating since they were teens. Shino and Hinata have been dating since college. Kankurou and Kiba start dating at 22/25 (I am writing this fic). Hinata and Kankurou may or may not have some queerplatonic relationship going on eventually.
I used this picrew for the sheets!
Additional facts!
Kiba:
Inuzuka Kiba isn't his legal name, he is still officially registered under his deadname and his father's family name. He might change it once his father's dead, probably not before that since he doesn't want him to know about it. The rest of the polycule handle most of his mail so he doesn't have to deal with it unless necessary.
He is Japanese through his father and Filipino through Tsume.
Hana is his half-sister (different father).
He transitioned in his late teens and has been on T + post-top surgery for some years now.
He got a hysterectomy for endometriosis.
He doesn't smoke much anymore, mostly vapes, which allows him to control CBD/THC levels and ratio better.
Kankurou:
He doesn't identify as trans, but might identify as non-binary somewhere along the way. He's fine with being seen as a man and conveniently goes by he/him, but is honestly a bit too psychotic and dissociated to really have an opinion about his gender and gendered body.
He is Jewish through his mother, but was raised by Baki (here, Rasa's half-brother) so most of his relationship with Judaism and Jewishness is self-taught reconnection.
He had only one brief relationship before Kiba and had sort of settled for the idea of not trying to look for partners (both romantically and sexually) because it was a lot of work and socialisation and it didn't feel all that too important for him, but hey, shit happens. (Kiba happens, and it's good shit.)
He gets a colectomy and stoma bag for his ulcerative colitis around 25 (again, the KankuKiba fic is about that). He probably won't try to get a reversal surgery in the future because he hates surgeries and hospitals.
Shino:
He mostly uses Makaton and text-to-speech as AAC. The former is easier for short indications and requests in daily life, and the latter for more complex conversations.
He gets on opioid replacement therapy sometime during his teens, although still injects occasionally as an adult.
He was initially assigned male at birth, and then reassigned female during his childhood, which he (very understandably) did not live well. Shibi defended his right to choose his gender presentation and refuse further intersex surgeries after that, and he's been mostly living as a boy/man since then. He half identifies as a cis man, half not because dissociation and plurality and trauma make gender complicated but he's sort of working through it. He'd still consider his relationship with Hinata straight, and his relationship with Kiba gay.
His parents broke up when he was a kid (in part over the decisions made about him) and Shibi raised him for the most part. He sometimes sees his mother as an adult, but they're relationship is not very good.
Hinata:
It's been a bit of a struggle to slowly acclimate Hiashi to her being part of a polyamorous relationship, but he does like Shino a lot, so that helped. (He doesn't have an excellent opinion of Kiba but they also mostly never see each other and they're happy with that.)
She has a fairly ok relationship with her family now, but being able to move out and live in group with way less hierarchy and a whole lot more community support has been very healing and helping with having more resources to maintain her relationship with her family too.
Kankurou does all her phone calls (as that of about everyone in the polycule, to be honest).
And the sibs!
Gaara:
He's had a lot of autism-related struggles as a child/teen, but functions much better as an adult now that he understands his needs better and has accommodated his daily life to them. He works as a landscaper but has a lot of at-home work hours.
Lee is his first relationship (I also have a fic about that) and he does think he's gay? But also never has thought about neither his orientation nor the idea of dating and who he would want to date much before that, so he's not sure. He's going with that for now.
He waxes his eyebrows because he compulsively plucks them otherwise. Dying his hair also helps with trying not to pluck them.
He was mostly raised by Yashamaru, who is Jewish and raised him Jewish, but has a bit of a complicated relationship with that because there was a lot of projection on Yashamaru's end, and difficulty to see him as his own person and not just his late sister's baby. He's not religious although he sort of still observant out of habit. (Ex: he doesn't necessarily care about eating kosher, but it's also the food he's used to make and eat, so he will still go for that most of the time.)
Temari (in pyjamas mode in this picture because I didn't have something less casual that fitted her style in the picrew):
She works as a diplomat and is very much a workaholic. The trauma is strong but the grind is stronger.
Just like Kankurou, she was raised by Baki and her connection to Jewishness and Judaism are mostly self-taught. She is a bit less observant than Kankurou.
She has chronic pain that she probably ignores a bit too much, but who can really stop her. (Kankurou should try and probably does.) Compression stockings enthusiast.
She has a motorcycle that Kankurou is very afraid to ride. (Gaara is okay.)
I'll probably do more in this AU later!
