    Summary

    Mebuki writhed against the dirty tiled floor, cursing and spitting at the shinobi’s feet as they retreated. The other villagers averted their gazes. Only the captain lingered, his silhouette swallowing up the light of the passage outside the bunker as another wail rose in her throat. 

    “My baby girl! That’s my baby girl! Please let me go with her, my daughter, please I-”

    The captain knelt and pressed his fingertips to her forehead, tilting her head back so that she was forced to meet his cold, dark eyes. Tears ran down the bridge of her nose, wetting the smudges of dirt clinging to her cheeks. 

    He blinked and his eyes changed in an instant to a deep, bloody red. Black flecks swirled in his irises, dancing around his pupil in a circular motion. The sobs died in her throat. Even the hum of panic dulled in her veins. She fell still, entranced.

    “You must be confused,” he murmured. “You don’t have a daughter.”

    Summary

    It doesn’t start badly.
    It doesn’t even feel dangerous.

    This is how love slowly turns into something else... And what it costs to get out.

    Summary

    There was still one thing he could do right. Something he could fix.

    Sasuke touched his index and ring fingers to the lilac diamond in the center of Sakura's forehead, resolved. He pushed his breathing to calm down, and the corners of his vision—darkened by lack of oxygen—slowly became clear again.

    He concentrated on the warm feeling inside her, on the warmth of Naruto and Kakashi's chakra, and on the pulsing in his left eye, and at last Sasuke allowed himself to agree with the voice that had been roaring in his ears nonstop.

    “No.”

    He was not going to accept a damn thing of what had just happened. 

    Only Sakura's promise from before she was put under a genjutsu made sense.

    Everything should be as it was before.

    The sealing mark on Sakura's forehead lit up like a beacon through his fingers, as the scenery around them erupted in colors like a kaleidoscope.

     

    “I will see you soon.”

     

    Sasuke activated Izanagi.

    Summary

    What if: Sakura was traumatized as hell by the Pain attack and a darker than canon Hokage Danzo, and Sasuke heals her a little bit just before the war. And! What if Sasuke's ideas for Revolution at the end of the series were actually well thought out, by Sakura herself?

    Changing the world hurts.

    {Canon compliant until the Pain attack arc, splits from there. Everyone that died, stayed dead. Check the tags <3 smut is not the focus at all but it is here!}

    Summary

    After being miraculously brought back after Thanos, Natasha Romanoff is trying to move forward—but some wounds don’t disappear just because the fight is over.

    When a mission nearly risks her life again, the rest of the team treats it like another close call. Steve Rogers doesn’t. He sees what everyone else misses: the cracks behind her calm, the fear she refuses to name, and the exhaustion she keeps buried.

    And when Natasha finally breaks, it’s Steve she reaches for. Because he isn’t just someone she trusts.

    He’s her person.
