This is a quick sketch it did after reading the new TobiSaku fanfic called Non-Disclosure by @sariasprincy. Such a good story, I highly recommend it. The drawings don’t depict certain scenes, except maybe the kiss. The one on the right definitely not (for now, the stories ongoing), I just wanted an excuse to draw Tobirama blushing. I can imagine him blushing more from his ears and it would take something like a sudden hug to make him flustered. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter. 

[thenightbeauty91]

Still one of my favorite fanfiction out there!

Thank you for sharing such beautiful stories @sariasprincy !!!

Sakura Haruno fic recs: romance-centric

I, like many others, definitely enjoy a a good romance every so often. All of these recs are going to have the romantic development of the characters as the forefront of the story, so just because the fic includes a ship doesn't mean it will go on the list. That means, many of them might feel more on the slice of life side of the spectrum, but that's not the case for all!!

There is going to be a mix of ships here so if you're interested in one in specific then use the search feature!

note: feel free to check out my master list which has a bunch of Sakura Haruno fic recs (all organized)!

----

To Build a Home - RedPowder || ao3 || E || kakasaku || canon divergence || ongoing

Sakura and Kakashi are assigned a mission that will change the path of their lives forever.

Kakashi and Sakura are forced to marry on orders from the village and I know that description sounds dumb, but trust me when I say this fic is gold. I've always had a hard time with kakasaku fics because I feel the whole teacher/student thing gets swept under the rug too easily, but that's not the case here. Their past relationship from team 7 is a glaring shadow over their marriage and the guilt over the whole situation weighs heavy on Kakashi. This mission isn't easy for either of them and it takes a lot of pull and tug to ensure things don't completely blow up. To Build a Home is probably one of my favorite takes on this ship as the portrayal feels realistic and the character feel accurate to themselves. Just give it a go!

.

Approaching Sun - ANerdInAllHerGlory || ffn || T || sasusaku || blank period || ongoing

After 2 years, Sasuke returns to the village where friends anxiously await him. Still troubled by the mysteries of Kaguya and his personal guilt, Sasuke is split between friends and his journey. Troubled by rising casualties and international dependence on her abilities, Sakura is torn between her love for Sasuke and her duty to her village.

Approaching Sun is probably one of the most realistic depictions of Sasuke and Sakura's relationship that I have read. This takes place during the blank period and references the novels, so it feels like an actual possibility of what went down. As much as I love them, I have a hard time believing that their relationship was smooth sailing and so I think this is an interesting take.

.

The Fool - thekatthatbarks || ao3 || T || shikasaku || blank period || complete

Ino kicked at a pebble on the ground, her arms folded across her chest. “How long?” Shikamaru sighed and pulled the cigarette away from his lips. “The war." It was a lie somewhat. He’d liked her since they were kids but had simply ignored the budding crush expecting it to fade over time. It hadn’t and by the time the war came around, he accepted he would always carry it despite his increasing efforts to drop it. He’d tried drowning it in the river, burning it in a fire, covering it up with something else. But it was all to no avail. It stuck with him, always apart of him. “Have you ever told anyone? Chouji? Her?” "No."

I actually really like Shikamaru and Sakura as a pairing (or just working together in general); however, I haven't read much of them. The Fool was a great post-war read where with some meddling (curtesy of Ino) we get to watch the progression of their relationship into something more than friends.

.

Nightmare in Red - Sariasprincy || ao3 || M || itasaku || non-massacre AU || complete

Haruno Sakura used to think the eyes were the windows to the soul, but after witnessing the horrors of the Sharingan firsthand, she's convinced they are the doors. It was pure chance that led Sakura to the discovery of the disease eating through Uchiha Itachi's lungs and now that she's aware, she knows she cannot just turn a blind eye. But how is she to treat the very man who tortured her while at the same time keep her nightmares from consuming her? That she doesn't know, but she knows she has to try, even if it nearly kills her in the end.

Itachi unintentionally captures Sakura in his mangekyou after being rolled into the hospital for her to heal. While Sakura tries to work through the impacts of the genjutsu she continues to work with him in an effort to cure him of the disease infecting his body. I actually really liked how the whole thing played out. Itachi's sickness was sort of a mystery in the original series and so I found it rather interesting to see what was done in regards to it. Anyway, I love their interactions and Shisui is (like always) a great character as well.

.

Blind - ObsidianSickle || ffn || sasusaku || T || canon divergent || complete

It was almost time, Orochimaru was going to take his body as a vessel. He hated being used...he refused to be used. With that thought, he took the kunai in his hand and slashed across his eyes.

I won't lie, Sakura is pretty weak in Blind and the whole thing is super cheesy, but it's still an enjoyable read.

.

Ghosts - ElegiesforShiva || ffn || sausaku || M || blank period || incomplete

In love and loss, it often comes back to family, and Team 7 had always been fated, hadn't they? Deny it as she may, Sakura finds her heart strung to them with an uncanny reverence and the weight of their ghosts. Sakura-centric. Heavy, heavy angst. Slow burn Sasusaku. Canon pairings. Lots of friendship feels. Eventual (consensual) lemon.

Ghosts is a pretty dark read where basically everyone is suffering. Sasuke and Sakura in specific have an especially hard time coping with their individual struggles yet they find comfort in each other. Check TWs before going in

.

Home is Where the Heart is - DeepPoeticGirl || ffn || sasusaku || T || blank period || complete

And with every moment together, they get just a little closer, a little more comfortable with each other. Fall a little more in love. Post-war. Pre-epilogue.

This fic is actually adorable! Taking place during the black period we get to see how Sasuke and Sakura's relationship slowly progresses. If you've always wondered what their travels were like then definitely check this one out.

.

In Times of Peace - SouthSideStory || ffn || sasusaku || M || blank period || canon divergent || complete

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.

Sakura and Sasuke have like a secret relationship going on. Also, Sakura as a jonin sensei is so good!! I really wish that someone from the original cast actually went down that route, but whatever.

.

Labyrinthine - FM_White || ao3 || itasaku || M || canon divergence || complete

ItaSaku (Post Uchiha Massacre) AU: Some things are destined to be. It just takes a couple of tries to get there.ItaSaku. Light KakaSaku.

I actually really liked how this was done as team 7 is still a family, Sasuke didn't lose his mind, Itachi picked a much more respectable path imo, and the characters are all adults.

.

Only a Crush by Gingersoup || ao3 || kakasaku || M || canon divergent || complete

It was supposed to be an easy, fun night out. She never intended to wake up in her sensei's bed, half-naked and with no memory of what happened the night before! As she tries to unravel the mystery of that night, something sinister is growing beyond the walls of the Leaf Village... and what was only a crush spirals wildly out of control.

Sakura is unwillingly thrust into the world of illegal drugs, trafficking, and sex all while coming to terms with her new feelings regarding her former sensei. I typically don't like kakasaku, but I think this work is done tastefully well. The characters are both adults and the immorality of the relationship is not ignored, so be prepared for a lot of "we can't," "this is wrong," etc.. Anyway, Sakura is an absolute powerhouse and I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between all of the different characters and villages!

.

Dreaming's End - thepiedsniper || ao3 || T || kakasaku || canon divergence || complete

Sakura didn't avoid the Infinite Tsukuyomi with the others, and all the events that happened afterward were simply the product of her dream-state. When Sakura finally wakes up from years spent in her personal "paradise," she must to learn how to start again. Kakashi is there to help her. ~*~ (TWs for genjutsu-related unreality)

Basically, imagine the entirety of Boruto was Sakura's dream in Infinite Tsukuyomi. When Sakura manages to breakout during the war she's left to deal with serious ramifications of the life she just lived. She finds herself constantly questioning what's real and Kakashi tries to help her through it.

.

Mamihlapinatapai - FM_White || ao3 || E || itasaku || canon divergence || ongoing

Mamihlapinatapai・Yagan. (n.) a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something they both desire, but which neither wants to begin In which Sakura tries her hardest to raise one hell of a rambunctious baby by herself, Sasuke is searching for something unknown, and Itachi is the uncle.

In another life where Itachi doesn't end up dying and instead tries his best to help Sakura raise his niece in Sasuke's absence. It's my head canon that everyone came together to help with Sarada just like they did for Kuranai, and so Mamihlapinatapi satisfies that thought for me. I like how Sasuke was criticized in this since as much as I understand the necessity of what he's doing, I also find it completely unfair to his wife and daughter. Itachi and Sakura form a great bond and it's all very domestic and just super fluffy all around, which I love.

.

Louder than Words - SouthSideStory || ao3 || T || sasusaku || non-massacre AU || complete

Sakura hasn’t uttered a single word since the day her family died, but Sasuke is determined to hear her, one way or another. (No Uchiha massacre AU.)

Sakura gets taken in by the Uchiha family after Fugaku finds her on a mission. She's been mute ever since, but that doesn't stop her and Sasuke from forming a close bond.

.

Snake Bound - shefalls || ao3 || E || sasusaku || canon divergence || complete

"You... took me with you." "That's what I said." "To Orochimaru. You took me with you, to Orochimaru." Sasuke nodded curtly and shoved the medical kit a little more insistently into her hands. Sakura accepted, and prayed to every known god that Orochimaru would ignore her existence. She should've known the gods don't listen. Now only on AO3. Sequel up.

What if Sasuke took Sakura with him like she asked? Snake Bound explores that idea and it's honestly a very uncomfortable read. Their relationship is based off of the isolation and dependency their new situation puts them in. All they really have is each other and the new bond that brings is not a healthy one.

.

Armour-Sleeved Single Hit - thatdamnuchiha || ao3 || T || madasaku || time travel AU || one-shot complete

Sasuke always told Sakura she was weak. Even after she trained with Tsunade for years he only had eyes for Naruto whom he considered strong. She would forever be invisible to him no matter how many mountains she toppled.Being a member of Team Seven despite Sasuke’s refusal to acknowledge her meant she got herself into her fair share of sticky situations. Getting stuck a hundred odd years in the past had to take the cake though.But she was just a weak little girl and compared to the shinobi of old she’d be ridiculously pathetic. Sasuke had said she was weak to him – a modern day shinobi who hadn’t been forced into battle after battle like they did in the Warring Clans Era. Obviously she’d be nothing more than a spec of dirt in the eyes of the Founders.

Sakura manages to find herself in founding-era Konoha! While trying to prove that medical ninja are capable fighters she unknowingly gains the affection of Madara Uchiha. After all, the Uchiha find beauty in strength. Super cute read!

.

Always You - alex-halcyon || ffn || T || kakasaku || age swap AU || complete

[AU. Age-swap] Kakashi x Sakura. From academy days to the third shinobi war and beyond, Kakashi and Sakura grow up and fall in love.

Basically, Sakura takes Rin's place on the old team 7. The progression between the character is quite interesting as it definitely isn't smooth sailing for Kakashi and Sakura. However, even through everything they find themselves drifting towards each other. Pretty cute imo.

.

interim - stannide || ao3 || T || sasusaku || blank period || one-shot complete

Sasuke lives with Sakura in the weeks after the war.

Interim is such a wholesome read where Sasuke and Sakura rekindle their former relationship. Super fluffy

.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Tozette || ao3 || T || sasusaku || blank period || one-shot complete

Sasuke is actually eighteen the first time he looks at Sakura and realises abruptly that he wants her.

I think we all know by now that Sasuke has always been attracted to strength, power, so why not when it comes to romance? Essentially, one day on a mission, Sasuke discovers he has a strength kink. Watching him continuously get flustered throughout the fic because of his admiration towards Sakura's strength is so entertaining. Really fun read

.

the problem with how time works - MurderMittens || ao3 || E || kakasaku || generation swap AU || complete

"I don't remember you being this uncomfortable when Kakashi was nine and had a crush on you," Ino pointed out neutrally. "You thought it was flattering before." She moved to pour more wine into their glasses as Sakura exhaled sharply out of her nostrils. "Obviously! It was fucking cute when he was a kid! But now he's..." she trailed off, gesticulating feebly. Ino, taking pity on her, finished the sentence: "Now he's a stone cold hottie who looks and sounds like he'd murder the ever-loving shit out of your vagina."

Sakura and Kakashi's generations swap place and boy is it entertaining. With Naruto as his sensei, of course Kakashi has met Sakura. Now that she's back in the village after years, Kakashi decides to try his best to win her over.

.

on still water - summersirius || ao3 || T || shisaku || canon divergence || complete

and sometimes, there are days without rain. —shisui/sakura

I'm actually devastated that the author decided to not pursue the plot line after about chapter 15 (it was so good too), but On Still Water is great nonetheless. Some really cute Shisui x Sakura moments

.

never let 'em know your next move - MirrorImage003 || ao3 || T || itasaku || non-massacre AU || one-shot complete

six times itachi is surprised by sakura, and the one time he's surprised by his mother.

Sort of drabble style moments between Itachi and Sakura and it's honestly adorable.

.

Hatsukoi - sparklyfaerie || ao3 || sasusaku || gen || non-massacre AU || complete

Sasuke leans away as the girl turns to him, and his mother doesn't need to be any closer to guess as to the expression on his face. The girl's body language changes in an instant, and Mikoto recognizes the posture of a little girl in love. It's kind of adorable.

Probably one of the cutest sasusaku fics I have read as Hatsukoi follows them from genin to marriage! It's told in multiple perspectives and it's full of tooth rotting fluff. You get to watch the slow progression of their relationship over time and how they grow even closer in Naruto's absence. Definitely read is you want something light!

.

(oh, you'll probably go to heaven) please don't hang your head & cry - SafelyCapricious || ao3 || T || itasaku || time travel AU || one-shot complete

There’s no such thing as a good death. But Sakura faces her death without any regrets. Her dying is keeping her precious people safe — and that’s all she can ask for. So she dies with a smile, taking thousands of enemies with her. She wakes up and falls off the branch she’s laying on.

More of a pre-ship than anything actually romantic, so maybe this isn't the best for this list lmao.

Send me some recs if you have any to share! I'm generally fine with any ship as long as the story is good :)

[jaybinds]

[sonorous-cicada]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤

Thank you for the ask!

1. Where You Go, I Will Find You (M+)

I wrote this one in about 6 weeks and it came to 73k. I will never not be proud of that. It taught me a lot, how to plot a romance novel, using the 3 act structure. It was sweet and cheesy, but I liked the cheese. It definitely made me smile every time I wrote for it.

2. Breathe (T)

First, the oc in this one was a lesbian which I absolutely loved. It was nice to break out of that box, even if it was still just rated t. I think starting this little drabble series really inspired the creation of my other civilian oc in 'where you go'. (Also wrote this in 1st person, which I've found comes more naturally than 3rd)

3. Shisui Uchihas Journal (M)

Good God, this one made me cry in some places when I was writing it. It was therapeutic, really, just getting everything out on the page. Writing this helped really solidify him as a 3d character for other things I've written.

4. Hatake of Kumogakure (E)

The pacing in this is so different than anything I've done. It's challenging, and everything has to be thought out 10 steps before it happens to make sure it makes sense. But I like the puzzle. I'm up to 72k in writing from the last 6 weeks. I was hoping I'd be finished writing on it before the 3rd week of August, but that seems unlikely. I'll probably only be about 100k deep by then.

5. Shadows of a Red Dawn (E++)

I orphaned this a while back and regret it. I absolutely loved writing it. I loved working with my friends who would help me bring the smut to the next level. I got so much help with it from msh, saria, moonlady. At times it felt like a group project. I was writing about 5k words a day, just absolutely obsessed.

@sariasprincy was right. There's my public statement about that. 😂

Thank you anon for the ask! These are fun!

[caffeinated--writer]

@kendochick-moor @sariasprincy writing is gona hit every damn TIME!!

you know when you read one of the most well written well characterized fics of a character and you’re like “FUCK YES THIS AUTHOR UNDERSTANDS” and then in the notes or in a comment reply they’re like “I hope this wasn’t too ooc I can’t tell 😭” or “I’m glad this wasn’t super ooc I was rlly nervous!” like girl this may as well have been a transcript directly from that character’s head what are you TALKING about

also this isn’t author hate obv I luv you guys I just think it’s funny how this happens a lot. fic writers youre amazing <33

[mysteriouscrimsoneyes]

@sariasprincy​ well I did it! I drew a shirtless Tobirama so I hope you’re happy 😂 I ended up making him look like he’s watching his lover wake up from his bed after a night of… 😳 yeah. Anyway enjoy! 

[thefreckledone]

Ask box open....why hello there. Okay! ShisuiSaku. Sakura too drunk to be sexy but she still tries. Shisui is amused. 😂❤🤓

A sequel to [this]

Shisui presses into The Dancing Bear, a riot of sounds and smells assailing him. There are no civilians here; only chunin and above who want a place to unwind and let loose. It means that the bar staff are all tokubetsu jōnin to handle the drunk and disorderly, but they serve mean, nigh lethal beverages.

It’s a favorite haunt of the “Rookie Nine,” as his baby cousin’s team refers to their generation and Shisui thinks it’s a likely location for the person he’s looking for.

Sure enough, Haruno Sakura stands at the sticky bar, pounding down shots in her fancy new jōnin jacket. Her cohort stands around her, cheering her on. From the high color in her cheeks and the insensate bodies of Sasuke and Naruto nearby, Shisui assumes they’ve been here for a while.

“I hear congratulations are in order, pint-size!” Shisui calls cheerfully, Shunshining forward and displacing a disgruntled Inuzuka to perch on the bar top beside her.

Shisui finds his stomach clenching with anticipation as he waits for her response. She never fails to entertain. Sakura’s eyes cut his way, overly bright but slightly unfocused. Shisui’s lips pull down; Sakura’s ability to drink is legendary. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen her this hammered before.

“Uchiha,” Sakura says, squinting as she tries to place him. “Where are your eyes?”

Shisui balances his hand against his knee, smiling at her in turn. “My eyes are right here, pint-size.” He gestures toward his face.

Sakura leans close, invading his personal space as she grabs his face. Shisui holds still as Sakura draws him closer, heart jumping only slightly. “No,” she whines, wrinkling up her face. “Those are boring. Where are the red ones?  They’re so pretty.”

Shisui fakes a gasp as he tries to smother his nerves. He’s never had his face this close to Sakura’s and it’s…odd. He bats his eyes at her, activating his Sharingan as he does so. “You think I’m pretty?”

Sakura, still holding his face, grabs his cheeks somewhat clumsily, stretching the skin. “You’re really pretty. Too pretty. You’ve got fancy hair and spinny eyes and you smell good.”

Shisui’s brows shoot up, even as he fights a grin. Truthfully, he has always thought that Sakura merely tolerated him and barely that most days. Sakura has a fierce, fiery tongue and she does not hesitate to wield it against him. “Do I now?”

Sakura nods sagely. “And you have a fantastic ass.”

Shisui breaks into spluttered, unexpected laughter and Sakura’s hands fall away from his face. After several moments, Shisui’s laughter peters off and he directs a breathless grin her way. He doesn’t know the last time he felt so…Happy? Excited? Elated? He isn’t sure what he’s feeling but he’s definitely enjoying it. “That’s good to know.”

Sakura is silent for several long moments and Shisui contemplates her in that silence, memorizing her. “You wanna get out of here with me?” she asks, scrabbling at another shot.

Shisui catches her roaming hand in his, preventing her from grabbing a drink. “Not tonight, pint-size.” He lifts her hand, turning it over to press a kiss to her pulsepoint. “Ask me again tomorrow. I’ll say yes then.”

[kendochick-moor]

@sariasprincy , sorry, was in another surgery yesterday afternoon, got home last night, got up early to wash, went to funeral this afternoon and just got back. Not quite 24 hours post-surgery yet but am famished and going for solid foods. I ate a triangle of an egg sandwich at the funeral reception to be polite and it was glorious.

[rhearenee-magane]

@sariasprincy I know how you feel because feedback is hard to come by, especially for fanfics. I’ve been there, feeling like crap and wondering if it’s worth it, with both drawing and writing. I’m bad with words, ironic considering that I write fics too, but I’m going to let the picture do the talking and show how much I love Hollow Point and how much I like your writing. We fans should support each other because we create for each other.
