SasuSaku One-Shot Recs

SasuSaku fics that don't get recommended enough, but you need to read at least once in your life.

(Bonus SaiIno One-shot series)

Ratings from G to E

returning home by stannide

Canon Divergence. Rated G

Upon discovering that she is pregnant, Sakura reevaluates her marriage. ("I don't want to tie you to this place.")

One of the best things about this fic is the glimpse we get into a certain friendship. It’s a very heartwarming fic, with a very surprising book as the inspiration. I love it so much, and I know anyone who’ll read it will too.

pink in the night by diwata @diwatafolk

Canon Compliant. Rated G

“It’s like acquiring a treasured friend and a time bomb all at once,” Sakura vents to Ino.

Ino laughs at her. “Treasured friend is a funny name for it,” she says, blowing her bangs out of her face. “The color is nicer,” Ino gives her professional opinion, “and you two are dating. Get over it.”

Sasuke and Sakura live segmented lives, but make a home anyway.

I love fics that reference real world customs and beliefs. They remind you of how beautiful and sincere the world really is, and that’s what this fic is beautiful and sincere.

Warm by CatFlorist @catflorist

Canon Divergence. Rated T

“You’re an Uchiha now,” he told her. Perhaps it was too blunt to say it this way, but it was true. Anyone who fire-jumped was an Uchiha. If he was the last, then he could shape his traditions, and choose who to do them with.

Once again, I love fics that reference real world traditions. It’s such a beautiful take on the beginning of forever, and wanting to share your beginnings with someone you want to keep forever.

These High School Days by devertigozation @devertigozation

Modern Setting. Rated T

Now, every once in a while they exchanged enough trivialities for Sakura to get a glimpse into Sasuke's high school life.

Middle school friends, Sasuke and Sakura, now go to different high schools. They ride the same train, though.

This fic will make you feel like you’re a third-party, and that’s what makes it great. You feel like you’re intruding, watching moments of a relationship when you’re not supposed to. You’re a passenger on the train. A passerby. Truly an experience encapsulated in a fanfic.

closure by hyperphonic @hyperphonic

Canon Divergence. Rated T

Sasuke teaches Sakura his clan’s flagship jutsu one misty autumn morning on the very same dock his father had taught him.

There’s only one line of dialogue in this fic, and that’s what makes it perfect. It’s the prefect fic if you want to dive into Sasuke’s thoughts and feelings. Sakura is the epitome of beauty in this, and Sasuke thinks so too.

glimpses II by bloodveinsgenes @bloodveinsgenes

Canon Divergence. Rated T

he knows how they feel about him being with her. he’s not blind - he sees the glances, the concerned look in hinata’s pale eyes, the hateful glare in ino’s blue ones - and sometimes he can’t help but think they’re right.

There is absolutely no dialogue in this fic and it’s amazing. It’s a great what if fic that has Sasuke thinking so what. It’s not “me and you against the world”. It’s “me against the odds of having you”.

the edge of my affection by blue-plums (arabesque05)

Canon Divergence. Rated T

naruto gets married with usual hyuuga sort of pageantry: village elders and foreign delegates and daimyo representatives all in attendance, until it becomes almost less about the wedding and more about state politics.

I love how Sasuke and Sakura are written in this fic. The teasing, the subtle jabs, the affection. It makes your heart flutter in a happy way.

in the stillness by whirlpoools

Canon Divergence. Rated M

What is grief, if not love persevering?

My heart broke during and after reading this fic. It’s such a sad look into love, and such a loving look into sadness. Absolutely a must-read.

your spellbound heart by blue-plums (arabesque05)

Modern Setting. Rated M

there is a new barista at the corner coffeeshop, who always smells faintly of smoke.

I could’ve added another tag to this, but it’s way better if you find out for yourself. The characterizations of Sasuke and Sakura are adorable. Their interactions make you so giddy. How the author turned this concept into tooth-rotting fluff amazes me every time.

Nightly Visit by pain_somnia @pain-somnia

Canon Divergence. Rated M

Hidden under soft sheets, having even softer discussion, a take on Sasuke visiting Sakura in the middle of the night.

The fic perfectly portrays what it feels like to be completely comfortable with your significant other, especially during moments of intimacy.

Vacation by silver_shot

Canon Divergence. Rated E

Sasuke turns to her fully, then on an impulse, pushes through the crowd until he reaches her exhausted state. The crew pay no mind to him any more, they all now cheer for the sake of it.

Her smiles gleams with her eyes, “enjoyed your vacation?” grins Sakura.

He chuckles, “is that what we're calling it?”

The plot is very entertaining. I would love to read more about this universe. In any case, Sakura is home to Sasuke in every possible way.

SaiIno

Just Kids series by foxiemoxie

Modern Setting. Ratings from T to M.

Set in the 90s in the West Village Art district, loosely inspired by Patti Smith's "Just Kids.”

What really drew me into this series was the setting. The little details in the story really ground the setting. The relationship in this is so realistic. You’ll be able to fully grasp the troubles being faced, and maybe even relate to them.

Just Kids

Modern Setting. Rated T

Although the two art students have been together for a while now, Sai can't help but wonder if he's doing something wrong.

Cosmos

Prequel to Just Kids. Rated T

Upper West Side Ino is on a date with one of Sakura’s friends—and she can’t quite make heads or tails of the rather mysterious Sai. But if it’s one thing Ino Yamanaka is, it’s persistent.

Sunrise

Sequel to Just Kids. Rated M

For the last two years, it had been Ino who had taken the lead, guiding the pair through the relationship.

Now, things are turned upside down due to Inoichi's death. Ino isn't used to these feelings, and Sai certainly is not used to how their relationship has suddenly changed, but the two must work through it, for better or for worse.

I wrote my comments on the fics differently from how I’ve done in the past. It’s probably because it’s been raining all day where I am. The weather’s making me feel sentimental (maybe even melancholic).

(I can’t find the tumblrs of authors stannide, whirlpoools, silver_shot, and foxiemoxie. I also can’t seem to tag the author blue-plums. I’ll update this when I do find the authors and tag blue-plums!)

[narutobad]

Black period fic rec list?….. 🌝👀

hi anon, i'm so sorry it took me so long :( here you go, under the cut

i’m tagging the authors’ tumblrs so you can follow them too; if you happen to be the author of any of these fics, please know you’re important and deeply appreciated. thank you so much for your work!

multi-chapter

close to home by dances.with.sunflowers

Something in his eyes told her, it was always you.

// this is my absolute favorite get-together ss fic, i don’t see it on rec lists very often and it’s such a shame because it’s so great?? the most realistic one i’ve read so far. if op wants to post those bonus chaps 10 years from now i won’t be mad! //

equilibrium by @psalloacappella​

We bear the whispers of stories we didn't write, and the burden of becoming legends we never desired. All we do is keep chasing one another in circles, endlessly wanting.

Everything has changed; nothing has. Team Seven navigates life after war.

// the fics in this series go beyond sasuke and sakura’s relationship, they explore the complicated dynamics and push and pull within so many others, and do such a great job of depicting every gray area. so unique. love it so much. about sasusaku especifically, i adore sasuke’s devotion to sakura in each and every fic they’ve written. do check those out! //

unspoken by silentvoicescryingout

Years had passed between Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. It took them time to re-learn each others' silent language

// this fic is full of miscommunication and angst and it’s so good, so incredibly well written //

in times of peace by @southsidestory

The war is over, and like Konoha, Team 7 has rebuilt itself from the ground up. Everything has changed, but Sasuke and Sakura remain much the same. Eleven years, she thinks, is a long time to be in love.

// ok this author is put on rec lists all the time as she should and for good reason!! i love her characterization of both characters, they’re so messy and angsty and so GOOD //

satoru by pudgypanda.

A series of vignettes set chronologically over the course of the years Sasuke and Sakura spend traveling together - and a story of how two hurt people reaching for each other can grow back together again.

the garden by @catflorist

Sasuke left Konoha for a cottage in the woods. One day, Sakura arrives injured at his doorstep. They recall their past and think about what comes next.

Slow burn, post-canon about how Sasuke and Sakura grew close again.

// one of my fave ss authors, appreciate how they become friends again before anything romantic happens, and fics addressing the injustices in konoha’s system are so important to me!! plus they garden together!!! //

heat by @lady-otori [on-going]

Sasuke’s temperature has always run higher than most, and Sakura has always, always burned for him. Moments of heat, spent together in the time after his return. 

// the ust is so thiiiiick, definitely one of the hottest ss fics i’ve ever read //

i follow rivers by @diwatafolk

Sasuke and Sakura throughout the Blank Period. Also, in this universe, they own cats.

// love this author. they’re written with so much care and tenderness //

one-shots

(we bloom during) Hanami by sparklyfaerie

He wants her to say it first; he wants her to take the burden from him and put voice to what’s growing between them. It’s the only way, he knows, that he won’t feel like he’s being selfish and pressuring her into anything.

tender by pain_somnia

He ignored freckled shoulders and winsome smiles meant just for him. He ignored creamy thighs and slender fingers that pinched at the back of his shirt.  Those tender feelings weren’t meant for him to explore.

// i adore this author’s writing. their blank period trilogy of sorts is so fluffly and achingly sweet. finally and nightly visit //

open my chest and colour my spine by whirpoools

two weeks  by @kuriquinn

Why do you stay with me?” she asks quietly, tentatively. She's never asked anything this intimate before.

He clears his throat, letting the question hang in the air. Thinking of what to say to that. If he could ever put it into words and say those out loud. He thumbs the curve of her waist. “Why do you keep me?” he asks.   He feels her shift to burrow her head deeper on the crux of his throat. “There’s no one else,” she answers.   He exhales. “There’s nowhere else,” he answers.

Two weeks from now, Sasuke Uchiha will fall in love for the first time in his eighteen years.

// legendary author. one of my favorite sakura / sasuke characterizations out there. i think miso soup everyday also fills this prompt, do check it out! //

the burden of unknowing by @anthropologicalhands

Unexpectedly, Sakura joins Sasuke on his travels. There is something weighing on her. He will wait until she's ready to tell him.

// sakura finding out about the uchiha massacre is a favorite of mine. she deserves to know, it’s so satisfying to see her allowed to get angry. and well, if it’s written by this author it’s guaranteed to be good 🥰 check out their other stuff!! //

pockets by miyachondria.

They've been beginning for quite some time.

interim by stannide

Sasuke lives with Sakura in the weeks after the war.

sasusaku new author spotlight: diwata

@diwatafolk has been writing for the SasuSaku fandom since late 2019. Their modern AUs are witty, but (as you know) I’m partial to their blank period series.  Check them out!

You can find their work here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/diwata

A couple of their stories to start you up/story sampler:

pink in the night

Summary: “It’s like acquiring a treasured friend and a time bomb all at once,” Sakura vents to Ino.

Ino laughs at her. “Treasured friend is a funny name for it,” she says, blowing her bangs out of her face. “The color is nicer,” Ino gives her professional opinion, “and you two are dating. Get over it.”

Sasuke and Sakura live segmented lives, but make a home anyway.

man of the week

Summary: Sasuke is Twitter's Man of the Week. “Not be thirsty on main, but is he single and if he isn’t then does his girlfriend know how to fight?”

Tres Marias: The Mountain Diwatafolk of Las Islas

Maria Sinukuan The eldest of the Three Diwata sisters and protector of her domain, Mount Arayat. One of her legend tells that she had a demon suitor who desired her hand. She gave him a test to prove his worth -- to build a stone bridge without any support overnight. When the demon has almost accomplished his task, Sinukuan sabotaged the test by telling the rooster to crow early before dawn. The demon gave up, thinking that he failed.

Maria Cacao

The second of the Diwata sisters and protector of the Visayan dark woods where Chocolate Trees grow. It was believed that when the river overflows, Cacao is travelling through the river on a golden barge to personally deliver dark fruits to the river gods.

Maria Makiling The protector of her domain, Mount Makiling and the youngest among the Diwata sisters. She was also the most popular because she was more benevolent and curious of people than her sisters. She once fell in love with a hunter that caused wrath from Sinukuan. Her eldest sister reminded her of their duty as a Diwata and falling in love means leaving their mountain domains vulnerable. After realizing that the mountain needs her more, she appeared to the hunter one night -- to break his heart. The unbearable pain in her heart caused her to vanish and never appeared to anyone from then on.
