Stripped of his chakra and held captive in the belly of Konoha's prison system, Kabuto Yakushi develops a strange fascination with one Sakura Haruno. Each step is dragging her further into the viper's nest, and all is not as it seems. With the line between friend and enemy blurring, Sakura can only hope her choices are not leading her down a path of self destruction. Kabuto/Sakura

Madara was never the type to put all his eggs in one basket. In the event that Obito failed, he set in place an alternate method of resurrection. Sakura really did have the worst luck with Uchihas, but nothing prepared her for sharing her mind and body with one, especially one that was supposed to be dead. Discontinued.

Sasuke knows his absence has deeply hurt his daughter Sarada, and the challenges of mending broken ties is what he must face. But when circumstances allow them to spend some time together and they encounter a 'friend,' will their relationship be able to evolve? An emotional journey with ties to religious concepts along the way.

AU. In which they have to grapple with being physically apart for a little while. SasuSaku and LDR. Oneshot. #52

When worthy humans die, at the discretion of the Creator, they are sometimes given an angelic 'upgrade'. With the angels gunning for the showdown between Lucifer and Michael, Dean's upgrade is suddenly rushed. While Dean may be suddenly filled with Grace, Castiel has been rendered merely human in a catastrophic accident. How will this affect the apocalypse

People can change, or they die before they do. His sensei, Jiraiya & Tsunade, the ones he cared about most, would they forgive him in the end? Could he find the heart to try & be with her again? A story of his beginning to end. OrochimaruxTsunade (Orotsu) "No matter how long, the windmill will always wait for the wind." "The wind may change, but it will always return... forever."

Art is an explosion. That was his only truth. The only thing he saw. Those four words were his blood and his religion. And, ultimately, his downfall.

Naruto overhears a conversation between Kakashi and Gai. And the conclusion he comes to may just ruin Kakashi's night. Prompt from meliss-cake on Tumblr.

After finding one of Orochimaru's leftover scrolls, Deidara decides to try it out on Sasori. Maybe it'll help the puppet loosen up a bit. He didn't know it'd turn Sasori into a child. And of course the Akatsuki are as helpful as ever. Complete.

Just like any other human-bodied shinobi, Deidara must have his teeth examined once every six months. Now, Deidara could tolerate all kinds of pain. He could handle being kicked, punched, sliced, and even having his arms torn off. There was one pain though, that he could not stand. Let's hope he brushed his teeth diligently, all of his teeth. ;)

Sakura explains to Sai what a hug is, and Sai puts his new knowledge to good use. Bad summary, hopefully decent story. SaiSaku Fluff. mostly friendship, with hints of romance

She'd never given much thought to what the world would be like without him. He was simply always there. She'd turn a corner, and there he'd be, grinning up at her with that ridiculous smile. But now that he was gone, there was a void. A void in the village. A void inside her. One-shot. Slight NaruSaku

What if Sasori survived his fight with Chiyo and Sakura and remained Deidara's partner? The two clashing artists stick together as they realize the murderer of Sasori's parents, Sakumo Hatake, has a son- who is among the shinobi hunting them; a potential for Sasori's revenge and Deidara to challenge the Sharingan. But they aren't the only ones working in the shadows.

Itachi learns that he now is an uncle and after pleading his case with the Sage of Six Paths, he is permitted to return to the Realm of the Living for just 15 minutes. As he looks over her small form, he picks her up to enjoy what little time he has with her. The love of the Uchiha is stronger than any other clan and Itachi is facing unconditional love when he looks into her eyes.

How Sasori and Deidara met for the first time. Twice.

Deidara, the fearsome terrorist bomber of Akatsuki, had a secret that he swore to himself never to reveal. Unfortunately, Hidan was never one to think before speaking. And it's not like he wanted anybody—particularly Sasori—to care that he hurt, or anything. Rated T for language. Characters strictly belong to Kishimoto Masashi.
