Levi's final nights with Petra. – Rivetra, but we all know how that turns out.

Itachi only had one thing left to do. All he needed to do was to die, and yet he cannot let go. Of second chances, silver linings, and maybe just a little bit of hope.

You kill a weed by striking its roots. – SasuSaku and Team 7, but at the end of the day, Sasuke's always alone.

It is a fact that Sakura loves Sasuke. Everyone knows it. No one questions it. Which is why Ino is flabbergasted when Sakura tells her that she's...trying to move on? By dating other people? Who are not Sasuke? Life is just the most delightful mix of friendship, awkward romance, and many, many surprises.

Itachi/Sakura. 100 drabbles. 052. Reprieve - Even when everything else falls apart, they find solace in each other.

Grieving takes a long time, and she promised to be there for all the good days and the bad. Tsubaki and Kousei, and the moments in between.

Sasuke/Sakura. Sasuke walks back into Konoha with certain memories strategically removed. Sakura doesn't know if it does her heart good or bad that he still remembers her—but it stings when he doesn't remember Naruto. Sometimes, the big things are not so big after all.

Sasuke. Shikamaru. Naruto. Neji. [With your various canon pairings, etc.] Life doesn't always go the way you want it to, but then again, sometimes it does. High school isn't all about romance, people choose different paths to walk, and the guy doesn't always get the girl. Honestly, Shikamaru thinks, it would be boring if everything were predictable.

Ulquiorra/Orihime. AU. They say he's a clinically diagnosed psychopath, but she thinks he just lost something along the way.

Neji/Sakura. Neji's eyes are as white as snow, so it's only natural that Sakura falls in love with him in the winter. An anthology of years spent finding warmth in the coldest of seasons.

Neji/Sakura. AU. In a person that she initially didn't want anything to do with, she suddenly sees a myriad of colors, entire worlds of beauty that she's never noticed before. [Sequel to "Skeptics and True Believers"]

Ciel makes his first contract as a demon. He's finally free from everything—fatigue, thirst, and human morals. The one thing he isn't free of—and desperately wishes he is—is his dependence on Sebastian. Sebastian is a comfort that he'd rather not have.

Sasuke/Sakura. Non-massacre. You don't need to be extraordinary to have an extraordinary story.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. "I don't care what drugs they injected you with. You are Sakura, and you are everything I value, so I'll do everything in my power to save you—whether you want it or not."

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. From the outside, Uchiha Sasuke looks like the stereotypical boy that needs counseling. On the inside, he's actually a softie that likes Korean girl bands.

Neji/Sakura. "That's because he is a sexually deprived man—" "Now, now, I need no implications of how active your sex life is." Of ups and downs, and ins and outs. Oh, there are ins and outs, all right.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. "What do you think love is, Sasuke-kun?" "How would I know?" "I think love is being with someone when they die." "That's morbid." "I know. Love is hearing that last, shuddering gasp escaping their lips, like a final wisp of smoke."

Itachi/Sakura. AU. Happiness is difficult to acquire, but it won't run from you. You just have to find it. Of dreams, wishes, and blindingly searching for what's already in front of you.

Sasuke/Sakura. Naruto/Ino. AU. Sakura decided that Ino deserved something real, Naruto was colorblind, and Kiba was a man-whore. And Sasuke? Sasuke’s got a stick shoved up his ass.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Things always had a way of treading the thin line between disaster and perfection. Of chances, believing, and not looking before you leap. [Sequel: "La Gaudière"]

Sakura. Sasuke/Sakura. Team 7. Can’t you see? It’s always been you.

Sasuke/Sakura. She had a kunai. He had a face. Oh, the possibilities…

Sasuke/Sakura. “I know I said I’d try, Sasuke-kun—but if you continue like this, my heart can only take so much.” “I’ll get you a new heart, then.”

Team 7. They make an entire world.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Contrary to popular belief, Sasuke does have love to express. He just doesn’t do it in ways you’d expect, and he doesn’t do it to you. Sasuke and Sakura, from start to finish, and maybe a little beyond that.

Sasuke/Sakura. Of rewinds and restarts. “Hi, I’m Sakura. Merry Christmas. I love you.”

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Because even classical music is appreciated nowadays. Even Wagner’s appreciated nowadays. Of violins, secondary dominants, and maybe a little love.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Let’s face it. Even though he had an erectile dysfunction, she still loved him.

Team 7. AU. Ever wonder why people pair others up in groups of three? Because it makes for awkward social situations. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and too much caring.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Like a spell, he spiraled into one of his own cliché romances.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. I have a beautiful hairdresser. I know you’re jealous. You don’t have a gorgeous man running his hands through your hair, do you? No? That’s what I thought.

Neji/Sakura/Gaara. AU. With the single flip of a coin, she knew. She knew where she belonged. For al2010.

Soul/Maka. Dull stars and sweet nothings and everything in between.

Itachi/Sakura. Why is it that the more I tell myself to raise my defenses, the more they fall, and the faster I fall with them?

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. We’re just running around in circles, trying to swallow brown sugar by the cube and catch smoke with our hands.

Neji/Sakura. AU. “It’s a good luck charm.” “Good luck charm?” “You’re obviously going to need it if you go through those rapist-infested subway stations every morning.” “I’m…touched.”

Sasuke/Sakura. Naruto/Sakura. She loves Sasuke to the point that she’ll never tell him the things she desperately wants to scream out the most.

Sasuke/Sakura. “It can’t be anyone but Sakura.” “Why?” “Because she’s the only one stupid enough to love me despite everything.”

Itachi/Sakura. AU. In which Sakura in a kissing booth happens. In which Itachi happens as well. In which Sakura in a kissing booth with Itachi happens. Hell yeah. For BlueArcticWolf.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. How does your hair stick up like that? Do you notice my mismatched socks? Why are you so amazing? After all of these years, why don’t you see me the way I see you—as a place I can always return to?

Itachi/Hinata. Naruto/Hinata. It’s a delicate relationship. It’s a different relationship. Or maybe, it’s not a relationship at all. For Chibi Angel of the Uchiha.

Sasuke/Sakura. AU. Why Sasuke was angry was not beyond her. “Naruto,” Sakura said slowly, “why did you hire me a male stripper for my eighteenth birthday?” For EWHH its Kenna.

Itachi/Ino. Beauty was a very broad concept, she soon came to realize. Especially when Uchiha Itachi was included in the picture. She could cry forever over the things that she would do for it. For signalbox.

Itachi/Sakura. AU. Pool parties were okay, Itachi decided. When he was able to get the girl AND rub it in Sasuke’s face. For Kayleigh Volturi.

Neji/Sakura. Admittedly, he was a man. And, admittedly, he had hormones. But that didn’t necessarily mean that their romance started because he accidentally touched her boob. For Itachi’s Only Love.

Neji/Tenten. 20 moments together. From emotionally constipated boyfriends to misunderstood proposals; from braided hair to crazy weddings—from him to her—every moment is inexplicable, delicate, and absolutely nothing and everything at the same time.

Itachi/Sakura. Non-massacre. A paralyzed and nekkid Itachi. Sakura had to bathe him. Not. Cool.

Shikamaru/Ino. “Paper airplanes make good letters!” “Letters?” “Yeah. Love letters.”

Itachi/Sakura. Once upon a time, there was a prince, and a princess. Except, the prince was near insane, the princess was emotionally unstable, and happily ever afters didn’t exist with them.

Sasuke/Sakura. “Come with me, Sakura.” His words were so soothing, his touches so intimate, his kisses so real. Or, maybe, she just wanted them to be.

Neji/Sakura. Sakura’s eyes are green, he realizes. So green.

Itachi/Sakura. There were many things that Sakura couldn’t see, but she couldn’t believe that she was blind enough to miss something as big as this.

Team 7. Sasuke/Sakura. He is broken, so he breaks them, just to make himself feel better. But when he stumbles back, completely destroyed, he doesn’t understand why they’re still there.

Itachi/Sakura. Non-massacre. She couldn’t count the number of times she’d been told she was stupid. But when Itachi calls her stupid, and so close to Christmas, it’s almost unbearable.

Itachi/Sakura. Sasuke/Sakura. Non-massacre. Sasuke hated it when Sakura wasn’t the way she always was: single and in love with him. And it wasn’t like she had a boyfriend, either. No—she had a fiancé. And his name was Uchiha Itachi. REVISED: 07-31-09.
