  1. Summary

    AU in which Shisui was the instrument of the Massacre, leaving a six year old Itachi and a five-month old Sasuke as the last Uchiha.
    A series depicting the lives of Itachi and Sasuke as they are raised by their aunt Nanami.

    In which Itachi just really loves dogs and sweets. Oh, and Nanami. Maybe Reika and Tarou too. Definitely Hana. And -And the sweet old lady they buy groceries from at the market. Her too! Itachi loves baking - part of his excitement for it is that he's good at something that isn't ninja-related. His entire life he's been told that he's a prodigy, that he has the makings of a legend. But in The Treehouse, he's just a kitchen hand who gets to lick whipped cream from the bowl and decorate cakes with strawberries and chocolate.

    Sasuke is tiny and adventurous and dribbles everywhere. If he's sitting in one place it's only to stare down a potential rival, or to glare at any dogs in the nearby vicinity (he figured out early on that if there's a dog nearby, his brother will be wholly unresponsive. Even if Sasuke has a tantrum).

    Summary

    Sasaki Mirai knew the future.

    Many thought that would be a given with a quirk like Foresight. But how does an anxiety-riddled, resting-bitch-faced, type-A-personalitied, underground hero tell the world that it's actually because she was reborn into one of her favorite animes?

    Answer: she doesn't. Instead, she tries (and fails) to stick to canon, forges herself a found family out of civilians, heroes, and baby villains alike, and prays to God Nedzu that it all works out for the best.

    Or: a self-insert really wants to take a backseat and watch canon continue from a distance, but that's hard to do when she keeps stumbling over distressed kids and adding them to her found family like a dragon adding gold to its hoard.

    Featuring: an author exposing themselves, paperwork, and a fumbling All Might trying to navigate having shared custody with an underground hero.

    Summary

    "...in the event that I, Lily Evans Potter, and my husband, James Potter, become deceased," read Albus, "I do hereby name Severus Snape as sole legal custodian of my son, Harry James Potter, until such a time as he comes of age." He folded his glasses on the table.

    "Fuck," said Severus, with feeling.

    Summary

    Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.

    The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.

    All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.

    Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.

    “I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

    Summary

    Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.

    The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.

    When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.

     

    or

     

    How Sakura survives the war, told in bits and pieces.
