Summary
There are certain things the Kazekage isn't supposed to do.
He's not meant to fraternize with foreign shinobi, he's not meant to be a lifelong bachelor or child-less, he's not meant to sleep around, and he is certainly not meant to fall in love with another man from another village.
But then again, some rules are meant to be broken.
Or five times Gaara tried—with varying degrees of success—to meet the councils expectations and the one time he stopped trying altogether and did what was best for him.

Summary
'Gaara pipes up again, right when Lee’s started to hope she’s followed her sister into the locker room. “You’d think being used to head injuries would indicate that maybe you aren’t as good at this as you thought you were.”
The restraint Lee’s so proud of snaps cleanly in half, twisting her neck so fast her vision wobbles and blurs with it, “And you should think that needing to resort to disreputable tactics to win means you lack the skill to do it properly.”'
--
Lee's been boxing at Maito Gym since she was a girl, and she gets along with everyone... except Gaara, the outcast with a tendency to fight dirty. When a concussion forces Lee to spend more time with Gaara than ever, she might be forced to confront exactly why it is they struggle to be in the same room as one another.

Summary
It was strange.
Still, The last thing that Marcie would have described her as was graceful.
And yet, there she was, gliding effortlessly on the ice as if it were nothing but the early-morning clouds it reflected. She seemed almost one with the music she skated to, swirling and spinning with the trill from the flutes and dipping with the deep harmony of the bass. It was strange and graceful, but most of all, it was beautiful. The way her arms arced in the air like the neck of a swan, the way the sunlight bounced off her brown hair, turning it gold as if it had been touched by Midas himself.
Marcie was captivated.

Summary
"And now, here he was, cradling in his mangled arms everything he had ever dreamed of, doomed to be torn from his bandaged hands."
Sunagakure is a village steeped in and bound by oft-archaic tradition. With a proud and well-documented lineage of only biologically male Kazekage, Gaara could not possibly be caught having his own child, especially not one fathered by a Leaf-nin.
So when a clandestine relationship has unforeseen consequences, and the tide of war rises again, Lee and Gaara are forced to learn painful lessons in responsibility, making choices, and the meaning of unconditional love.
