Summary
Orochimaru-sama comes to the Academy and asks for the student with the best calligraphy.
“Only the girls learn it,” Iruka-sensei says, and Orochimaru-sama clicks his tongue like he disapproves. “But we have several capable young kunoichi.”
Sakura has the highest marks in calligraphy, higher even than Ino-chan. She has good marks in their painting class, too, and any class that involves holding a pencil. She tells Orochimaru-sama this proudly.
“How wonderful,” he says, and she’s giddy with praise from the legendary war hero.
He wants to see her write, so she does. They go to Iruka-sensei’s desk and both her teacher and Orochimaru-sama watch her. Orochimaru-sama asks her to write smaller and smaller. She does. He praises her.
“Yes,” he says, “I think you’ll do.”

Summary
Shizune and Sasori meet on a plant collection trip.
--
The boy has a very beautiful face. He has honey-brown eyes, under his pretty red hair, and a smattering of freckles on the bridge of his nose. He’s not very tall or big, but his face is delicate to match his lithe body. Shizune would be charmed by his good looks, if he weren’t currently eyeing her like she was an annoying insect.
Shizune attempts to play friendly. “I have extra gloves, if you need them.”

Summary
For a prompt from Fascinationex: “ninja are meant to be able bodied, but plenty of them grow to experience chronic injuries and illnesses due to the nature of their work. exposure to poisons and dodgy joints are common, for example. a lot of medicine and man hours go into keeping good ninja in working order -- but when a ninja becomes a missing-nin, she starts having to deal with these problems independently. and that's when problems arise.”
In Mist, you fought until you couldn’t, and then you got a desk job. Unfortunately “desk job” doesn’t translate well into “missing-nin.”

Summary
Sasuke finds himself, somehow, still alive.
So he tries his best to do just that; live. He cooks. He reads. He takes care of the neighbourhood cat. He lays awake, dulls off, wakes up tired. Some nights, he listens to Naruto snoring. And some days, his old friends come over uninvited.

Summary
He can see ghosts, which means he still has family. Still has Shisui, and all the aunts and uncles and cousins and distant relatives he didn’t even know before. Still has mother, her kind smile and her knowledge. Still has father, as well, although Fugaku stays distant most days, wallowing in regrets and things that make the air around him terribly cold.
Sasuke is glad, selfishly, for that small mercy.
He could have lived without the ghost drama, though....
Or: the one where Sasuke can see ghosts, and things aren't as bad as they could be.

Summary
“What the fuck.” Usually he would restrain his reaction a bit, but he’s far too preoccupied staring at his dead sensei-turned-father-figure’s orphan son, all of six years old and sitting in the middle of his living room, grinning full at a bunch of stray dogs Kakashi’d semi-adopted.
Naruto looks up at him, apparently finally clueing in to the fact that he is no longer alone in the apartment. For a moment, the grin lingers, and he looks so much like Minato that it hurts. Then, the grin vanishes, and Naruto’s face contorts in shock and terror.
The grin hurt, but this expression feels like a punch directly to Kakashi’s gut, and he resists the urge to keel over at the force of it. Having Minato-sensei’s kid—the kid he would be a brother to were it not for the Kyuubi—look at him like he expects an attack chills Kakashi to the bones.

Six-year-old Naruto has been coming into this one apartment via the doggy door for months. He thinks it's a place specifically for the stray dogs that are always there. Kakashi, the owner of the apartment, thinks otherwise. It's a surprisingly good time.

Summary
Sakura wants to be a doctor. She’ll learn how to fix people eventually. But before that she needs to do this, to fight them. Tuitions don’t pay themselves.
or
The one where Sakura partakes in cage fighting to pay her tuition and rent. She has just enough left to feed herself - sparingly - at the end of the day, but it's not so bad.

Summary
Sakura is not an idiot. She was praised for her intelligence, reached Top Kunoichi at the Academy for her brains.
So it doesn't take her long after being placed on the powder keg that is Team Seven to realize she is going to die.
Kakashi, career shinobi since age-six, has no idea what the hell is going on with his little pink-haired student or why there is such fear in her eyes. So he gives her head-pats. That's what you do for scared puppies isn't it?

Summary
In the sealed scroll he finds a Bingo Book – his own page marking him as an S-class nukenin with flee-on-sight orders.
“Ok. That is definitely different.”
In his head he blames Naruto – even if his number one unpredictable student had been nowhere near him on this mission. When things go this stupidly impossibly wrong it must somehow be the future Hokage’s fault.

Summary
Sasuke's a flight attendant in his early twenties, and he just can't stop thinking about Naruto, the pilot he often flies with who also just so happens to be Sasuke's designated friend with benefits. Sasuke and Naruto have been a "thing" for almost a year now, but what really is a "thing?" Just two people who sleep and joke around with each other for a few nights a month? Or is it two people who do those same things with the potential to be something more? Sasuke doesn't have time to ponder this. Not when he's one of the few hostesses responsible for three hundred plus passengers on a hulking--wait, did Lee just get called back into the cockpit?
Aka: The pilot/flight attendant AU no one asked for.
