When Kakashi goes missing just weeks before he is supposed to take over as the Hokage, Team 7, lead by Sakura, is tasked with finding him.

Temari is eighteen when Rasa gives her hand in marriage to an old Daimyo. Risking the wrath of their father, Gaara and Kankuro help her run away in the dead of night. She hides on the edge of a desolate sea, where hardly anyone passes through and no one stays. It is there, passing through on a mission, that Shikamaru encounters the missing princess.

"The food at the Sannin Diner was atrocious. Its coffee was weak and the staff was rude. The leather of the booths was torn and the buzz of its 24-Hour sign was distractingly loud. It was Shikamaru's favorite place in the world." Modern AU, ShikaTema angst.

A series of drabbles about Sakura's encounters with Sasuke during Shippuden.

Shikamaru copes after Asuma's death. Lemons, ShikaTema.

Shikamaru runs into Temari on a girls' night out. Lemon, oneshot, ShikaTema.

"He could apologize. Beg forgiveness for his transgression, despite wanting to beg her for the opportunity to transgress a second time." Sasuke sees Sakura for the first time in months. SasuSaku, Lemon and angst. Oneshot.

"The boys were in an all-out brawl, and Kakashi monitored it between pages of Icha Icha. The girl meandered behind Kakashi and he felt her small hands touch his hair. He tensed up. No one touched him, really, except for Gai." A ficlet about Kakashi opening his heart up to his new genin.

"Don't think of her. Don't think about when they made this journey together. Don't think about her swearing under her breath as they walk side by side. Don't think about the long periods of time he has to go without seeing her." ShikaTema oneshot in which Shikamaru pines. Based on the song Erica Western Teleport by Emperor X.

"She often feels like she's extending her hand to a tentative animal in the forest. One that will sprint away if she makes any sudden moves. One that scares easy. One that she's desperate to tame." Sasuke comes to visit Sakura one evening after reporting to Kakashi. Songfic based on "Happy" by Mitski. Oneshot.

Shikamaru comes to drop off some documents for Temari during a rainstorm. Oneshot

"He hovered inches over Naruto's face, noticing the blood pooling in the corner of the blond boy's mouth. It occurred to him to kiss it away." Sasuke thinks about his relationship with Naruto. SNS, oneshot. Canon-compliant.

"Suna shinobi were all a rough group-perpetually sun damaged with a consumption-induced tolerance to alcohol, and their get-togethers reflected as much. So she hadn't expected him to show up, though she sort of hoped he would. She certainly didn't expect him to show up with nine of his classmates following behind him." Songfic based on Townie by Mitski. ShikaTema. Oneshot.

Neither Temari nor Shikamaru cope well when they break up. Angst with a happy ending.
