KKSKDD2025 Wrap-Up (Complete!)

HELLO KAKASAKU DARK FIC LOVERS!

So sorry for the previous post which was incomplete (more coffee was needed this morning). THIS post contains the titles and summaries for all 27 fics that were published for this year's KakaSaku Dead Dove Week 2025. The fics can all be found in this year's AO3 collection.

Please read the tags before checking out the full works. If something is going to make you uncomfortable, don't read it. You are responsible for curating your own fanfiction experience.

Thank you to everyone who participated, encouraged, commented, read, kudosed, and cheered on our amazing creators! Looking forward to future kksk dd events 🖤 Without further ado...

Compatibility level 99.6% by BelleDayNight

Post-war birthrates in Konoha are low. The Fire Daimyo issues an order to boost those numbers. Sakura is part of the science team to create an algorithm to find the most compatible partners amongst the shinobi of Konoha. Soon to be Rokudaime, Kakashi feels obligated to participate in the Daimyo's pairing lottery. He shouldn't ask his people to do something he's not willing to do himself. Kakashi and Sakura are partnered with the highest compatibility score -- they aren't complaining!

Night Watch by xylazine

Kakashi has a suggestion to make time pass more quickly during a long stretch of night watches. Sakura agrees, not quite knowing what she's agreeing to.

Sweet Dreams by Anonymous

He was supposed to be on lookout, watching for any wayward enemies who were unfortunate enough to stumble upon them while they were this far away from civilization. But the sounds of her soft snores drew his attention more than the dark and quiet treeline. 

Tell No Tales by twofortea

The last thing Sakura remembers is stopping by Hokage Tower, and now…

Kakashi's Kunoichi: A Lesson in Piss by rosebrided

She sat up a little straighter. A special lesson? Part of her beamed at the idea of having his sole attention without the others, for once. No Naruto, no Sasuke. Just her and Kakashi-sensei. But whatever it was, it couldn't be good. Not after he caught her red-handed. Kakashi took half a step closer, forcing Sakura to scoot backwards—and collide with a tree. With her back against the trunk and the rough bark digging into her palms, she was trapped. Why was she afraid? She had no reason to be afraid of him. This was only Kakashi-sensei. Team Seven's leader. She trusted him. Or: Sakura tries to catch a glimpse of Sasuke peeing and Kakashi catches her.

Ramen Glory Hole by xylazine

Naruto shows Sakura an exclusive new ramen spot. A confusion of doors leads to something else entirely.

Just Another Hole in the Wall by Anonymous

As always, most of Sakura’s adventures in life began with a push (or a dare, or a threat) from Ino. Traveling to other countries just to explore, rather than run herself into the ground with her work at the hospital? An Ino-enforced idea. Eating spicy food until she built up to the tolerance of a normal person? She and Ino had suffered runny noses and stinging lips together for the duration of a month. Finding herself stuffed halfway through a hole in the wall, waiting on a stranger to pull her legs apart and show her a good time? Sakura didn’t even want to think about the night of drunken admissions and dares that led her to this situation.

The wolf and the lamb by xylazine

Sakura receives a mysterious invitation to the Midnight Masquerade. What surprises await her there?

Dirty Little Secret by MikaOfTheLeaf

Sakura has developed a crush on her Sensei and writes all about her secret desires in a diary. Kakashi has always liked reading, and he's itching to get his hands on that little book she's always toting around.

The Hound's Desire by XXYandereChanXX

Kakashi’s job should have been simple—kill the man who had stolen from Mayor Minato and leave a message for anyone else who thought it was a good idea to cross his boss. A quick, clean job, something that was child’s play for him. But then he met Sakura, the niece of Keitaro Haruno. Kakashi, a seasoned hound for Konoha, had never wanted anything as much as he wanted her. The moment their paths crossed, everything shifted. Her innocence, her strength—it was intoxicating in a way he couldn't quite explain, a draw he couldn’t resist. In all his years of ruthless work, he had never been so consumed by desire, so captivated by someone. Sakura, sweet and unaware, had unknowingly stepped right into his trap. She would never see it coming. Kakashi had carefully constructed every move, every word, every detail—he would have her, and she wouldn’t even realize the danger she was in until it was far too late.

polarization by xylazine 

In need of cash, Sakura signs up for a "sleeping beauty" service. Little does she know the dark path this will lead her down.

In Such Bitter Desire by twofortea

Kakashi wasn’t expecting to go into a sudden rut while out on a mission. Luckily, the ninken have a plan.

disquiet by xylazine

Kakashi's worst nightmare unfolds when he and Sakura are captured by rogue missing-nin.

At Least You’re Alive (You Might as Well Be Useful For Once) by Fusionblitz28

Her hand weaves through his hair until she finds a patch to hold onto and pulls his head backwards towards her face, “You shouldn’t fight so much, it won’t do you any good,” she whispers. “You’re mine now, Sensei. Now Sit.” She uses her chakra to push him down and he tumbles forward, a heap at her feet. Kakashi awaits his death sentence. Instead he becomes a pet under new ownership. He isn't Konoha's bitch anymore. He's Sakura's.

Prisoner of Your Love by arichii98, Koneko_taichou

After being spurned by her long-time love interest, Sakura is through waiting around for him to realize they belong together. They're going to create a life together and be happy. Whether he agrees willingly or not.

fervent by xylazine

An induced rut claws beneath Kakashi's skin and relief comes in an unexpected form.

impartment by xylazine

Duty always comes first. Until Sakura makes a request he's unable to resist.

Kakashi's Lying Kunochi by XXYandereChanXX

Sakura lied all the time—it came as easily as breathing. But she never lied to her teacher...until she did. She shouldn't have done that.

Ravenous by xylazine

Kakashi realizes he views Sakura as more than just a teammate and friend. Only, instead of his words, he takes matters into his own hands. In pretty much the worst way possible.

young and beautiful by twofortea

The next phase of Sakura's training starts now.

revolting by xylazine 

Kakashi dreams about teaching the solider formerly known as Haru a lesson she won't forget.

We've Only Just Begun by MikaOfTheLeaf

After losing everything, Sakura finally has a chance to finally start rebuilding her life when she receives her first mission orders since before the end of the war. It's been months since Sasuke disappeared in the middle of the night again, leaving her and the village behind for a second time. She hasn't seen Kakashi in a year, and she has no idea when she walks back into his life that he's been struggling with his feelings for her ever since he saved her life under the Samurai Bridge years ago. Will she be able to trust herself enough to let him in, or will the damage done by her first heartbreak be too much to overcome?

Fangs Of Passion by XXYandereChanXX

The Hatake clan is said to take only one mate, but what few know is that they recognize them the moment they meet. Kakashi tried to deny it, but when a jutsu caused his kekkei genkai to surge uncontrollably, his instincts took over. There was no escaping the truth anymore—he had to accept it. Hopefully, Sakura could handle the undeniable truth—that she was his.

as desperation takes hold by twofortea

Everything falls apart in seconds.

Sweet Girl by LolaLot

“Kakashi-sensei?” Sakura looked up at him with those same eyes she had when she was twelve and his student. Hungry for guidance, a little scared, but still so sharp. “How far am I supposed to go to help others? How far is too far?” Staring down at her, Kakashi didn’t have an answer. Being a war hero hadn’t saved him, and it wouldn’t save Sakura either. For them, there were no heroes.

Her Soul For Mine by MikaOfTheLeaf

“Promise me,” Tsunade said. “Promise me you won’t back out, that you won’t let him break her.” Kakashi's rage flared and he shot her a venomous look, speaking before he could stop himself. “It’s better for me to break her instead?” He hissed, unable to restrain his anger at the situation any longer. Tsunade’s eyes softened, but she couldn’t look him in the face as she quietly said, “You won’t,” she sounded so sure of herself, as though she had absolute faith in him. It made him sick. She continued, “You’ll leave her with her soul, Kakashi. Sakura will be able to heal, she’ll find a way to move past this. Do you think she’d fare so well with him?”

groom by doveonlifesupport 

Groom: 1. (Noun) A man just married or about to be married 2. (Verb) To prepare someone for an objective or purpose Kakashi is given a second chance, to fix what Uchiha Madara broke. But avoiding the Fourth War isn't the only thing he's determined to change.

[brunhielda]

Update as we get later in the month- I wanted to give out some details.

There are some pictures that have to be replaced more than others, and they aren’t the ones I found all on my own.

@bucephaly - people LOVED your frog. That guy was colored in all the rainbow colors, and had to be replaced so often. The adults appreciated the language beneath- I think the kiddos loved the spiked sun in comparison to the frog.

@toofewtrueblue - I saw more adults picking up the Japanese story, but the whole table giggled as I explained about the sibling fight ending with a horse through a loom, and the goddess coming out to party only to be trapped by her own pretty reflection. Definitely a hit at Storytime.

@yellowhat-co So many children reached for the Norse wolves only to spot your adorable dog, grin, cry “doggy!” And decide that was the one for them. 😊 It was also a good art lesson in how to color in something where the lines don’t all connect- no one had told them they could make up their own lines before! The result was a variety of suns being chomped on by very cute puppies. 🐶

@deathsmallcaps - the most reached for pictures, tied with bucepaly’s frog, were the jaguar and the Chinese dragon. The dragon does not surprise me- the children in my library cannot get enough of dragons. I forgot how much tiny people love them a spotted cat, 😂. They got even more excited when I told them in the story he is blue- lost their little minds. Will it be yellow with blue spots? Blue with black spots? Two different shades of blue? Craziest of all- blue with yellow spots??!! It was a mind puzzler for sure.

The adults loved the story of the sun and moon loving couple- that one was picked up by adults and teens more than the little kids, but also a favorite.

I wish I had pictures for you, but kids either colored and took home or took pictures to color at home. We had locals grab copies for something to do with guests at home. The ones that came to story night felt very impressive to retell everything to their out of town relatives 😁

There is still the occasional child running upstairs to color, but it is mud season where I am, and things are slowing down to a very dull trickle of patrons, so this chapter is pretty much over.

I just wanted to say thank you again for either finding and fixing work for me, or your hand drawn artwork. Everyone was touched that random artists online would do that for us. I also was happy to learn more stories to tell. So thank you for taking the time and effort. It helped make our event special. 🥰

Gonna throw out something crazy. See what sticks. Maybe nothing, hopefully something:

In about 3 months, the US is getting a total solar eclipse. I am a Librarian at a Public Library hosting an event.

Now, I KNOW every corner of the globe has mythology on this very cool astrological event. Many with neat monsters/creatures to go with. It is difficult to find images of said creatures. Sometimes even difficult to find the mythology from various parts of the world. Almost impossible to find coloring pages.

I live in a tiny town, and I am doing everything I can to expand the horizons of the kiddos who live here, and they go bananas for a good story out loud, especially if they have something to do with their hands while listening, like pictures to color in.

I call on the artists of the internet. If you know of a myth about Solar Eclipse, please add on to this post. Tell me the basic myth, tell me the country/culture of origin, and please please please, add a cool picture I can turn into a coloring page. Artist names will be left on pictures for admirers to go look them up, and I hope artists see this as a fun challenge.

I don’t even know if Tumbler in English language has that much of an international presence but… 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here’s hoping.

"Finders keepers." was the first thing Billy ever said to Steve. Steve never complained. He knew from the start that it was him or no one, forever.

My final contribution to the @stmonstercalendar mermay bingo! Prompt: Courting ♡

This was so much fun! =D ♡♡♡

[marigoldendragon]

I have Kalim on my homescreen for his birthday and this dialogue is absoluetly heartbreaking. He asks for someone to confide in, looking SO sad, and then immedietly brushes it off as something not worth talking about because 'his life is great'

Kalim my boy 😭😭😭😭😭

We had 16 stunning and deliciously dark written submissions for the inaugural KakaSaku Dead Dove week and 2 breathtaking, mind-altering art submissions.

Please read the tags before checking out the full works. If something is going to make you uncomfortable, don't read it. You are responsible for curating your own fanfiction experience!

Thank you to everyone who participated, encouraged, commented, read, kudosed, and cheered on our amazing creators! Looking forward to future kksk dd events 🖤

Without further ado, here is the wrap-up!

appreciation by Anonymous 

The one where the Land of Waves arc goes badly, but Momochi Zabuza's soft-spot for child-tools doesn't stop him from doing what has to be done.

The Hatake Heir by BelleDayNight

As the sole heir of the Hatake clan, Kakashi has known since he was five years old that he would marry the daughter of the Harunos. Sakura on the other hand is blissfully unaware that the man that will one day be her sensei is in fact her betrothed. There's a reason no man asks Sakura out on a date-- her husband has been quietly scaring them off for years...

Not a Love Like Mine, a Ruin by stargliders

Their captor hummed in contemplation. "This is my show, and whatever I say goes. I think I’ll start by shutting that smart mouth of yours for good." Kakashi closed his eyes, letting out a slow breath. "Take me instead." "But you…you can’t," Sakura said. The words she desperately wanted to tell him refused to come out. (I love you. Please, don’t die.)

take me down (won't you take me down) by xylazine

In a moment of reckless bravery, Sakura volunteers to be taken by none other than the demon of Konoha. Little does she realize how much she's in for.

Please, Please, Please (Let Me Get What I Want) by twofortea

Kakashi-sensei looked so different when he was sleeping.

Consequences by gremlint

Kakashi fucked around, and now he's going to find out. Or: the consequences of neglecting a brat's aftercare.

Hold On Tight by Typhlobasia

Konoha’s Official Exam for Head Interrogators, part two: required practical section, Combined Test of Shinobi Mental Perseverance. This is something Sakura knows she wants to pass for her team; she can persevere, can earn her title, do her part protecting the village, make Lady Tsunade proud for all the efforts she invested into her student over the years… But, seeing her moon-lit reflection in the hitai-ate on Kakashi’s forehead, her friend and former sensei towering over her as she is strapped into the interrogation chair, Sakura’s old fears slither their way back in. “So, Sakura…” Her eyes snap to his, hopeful. Pleading. Kakashi takes a small step forward on the stone floor, the sound of it sharp and echoing in the dim room, “shall we begin?”

Wolf in Scarecrow's Clothing by Fusionblitz28

In which Yamanaka Ino doesn't protect Sakura from bullies and becomes her first friend. Nor does Sakura obsessively crush over Uchiha Sasuke. Rather, her ANBU in shining armor and crush are one in the same person. Eventually the polish fades to reveal something rather unlike its original condition. Maybe it's always been that way and Sakura was too naive to see it sooner. OR; Sakura falls in love at five years old. With none other than one Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi exploits that.

La Petite Mort by rosebrided

“I love you, Sakura,” he whispers like she can hear him even now, the words coming out in a wisp of a breath. And then he adds, “Forgive me.” - In which Sakura is gone from this life, and Kakashi struggles to cope after discovering her body.

That Shattered Soul by twofortea

The bright green of her eyes had dulled, her expression made vacant. She was like a broken doll, a preview of what Sasori planned to turn her into.

cat nap by xylazine 

Curled around his pink kitten, Kakashi the cat slips into a rather person like dream.

breathe me by twofortea 

Every time the nightmares started up again, he found someone new to bury himself in. He lost himself in another person, another nameless face, another warm body—buried the nightmares in warmth, life, lust.

On The Brink by gremlint

Kakashi and Sakura have the unfortunate luck to be captured by some rather imaginative enemies. What they experience will change their relationship forever.

Dancing With a Ghost by stargliders

There was nothing else they could do. The talk therapy had failed. So had both rounds of electroshock. (The lightning Kakashi wielded all these years—had it made him immune? Even as Sakura watched his toes and fingers rattle against the table?) But a doctor in Kirigakure, Shizune explained, had recently invented a procedure that settled the overactive zones in the frontal lobes of the brain. Maybe, just maybe, he could be happy again.

Living-Dead by Komorebi_3

Obito Uchiha decides to send a clone to the 5 Kage summit and observe Naruto and Kakashi in the shadows after revealing information about Itachi and Sasuke. He finds himself a bit bored with the turn of events until a certain pink-haired Kunoichi strolls in confessing her love to Naruto. Everything about her reminds him of Rin and his already fragile state of mind just spirals out of control from there. Or, Obito becomes partially delusional and kidnaps Sakura for his own sick pleasure, but of course Kakashi Hatake can't let that happen so he volunteers to be taken instead.

No Good Deed by Heartensoul

Kakashi had given Sasuke so many chances to make it right—to do right by Sakura. Now, he was going to take matters into his own hands.

compulsion by xylazine

Kakashi has driven her mad with need for years until Sakura finally snaps and takes matters into her own hands.

You Matter To Me

Sara Bareilles (ft. Jason Mraz)

╾━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╼

◃◃ II ▹▹

Noah and Cody have a quick chat.

Cody really didn't expect to like Noah as much as he does. He also didn't expect Noah to make him this happy. That's why it hurts when he realizes Noah's better off without him. Without his baggage, without his adversity, without his mess. Man what a mess it is. He wouldn't blame Noah in the least if he thought it was too much to handle and left without looking back.

Fortunately, Cody matters too much to Noah to let him go so easily. Cody couldn't be more grateful. Maybe one day he'll learn to tell him.

[stevesbipanic]

@steddieangstyaugust Day 31: "I'm not going to beg you to love me."

It's not the first time Eddie's been in love, but that doesn't make it hurt any less.

He made the mistake of telling a boy once when he was younger, his nose is still a little crooked because of it. It doesn't stop him falling for the beautiful person that Steve Harrington has become.

He won't tell him though, wouldn't risk the friendship he cherishes so dearly over something so silly like the way his heart beats out of his chest when Steve just smiles at him. Steve is straight, he loves girls with soft cheeks and long lashes. Eddie is sharp and jagged compared to them, Steve could never want him.

It doesn't stop him dreaming though. He lets himself think how nice it would be if Steve shared his bed every night and not just when they've smoked too much weed. Tells himself it doesn't mean anything when Steve comes to every show, he's just being a good friend. Jokes around when Steve throws back the same amount of flirting, Steve is just affectionate.

He never expected Steve to kiss him.

For a moment he kissed back, too lost in the feeling to realise this wasn't a dream this was real and it would break his heart.

So he forces himself to push Steve away.

"Wait, Steve, stop."

There's a cute scrunch between Steve's eyebrows, "I'm sorry I should've asked first, did you not want me to kiss you, I just thought..."

Doesn't Steve understand, "No, Steve you don't want this, you can't want this, you're confused."

The confusion on Steve's face morphs into anger, "Confused? I'm not confused Eddie, I care about you, I like you, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you!"

Eddie gets up from the couch, "No, you don't, you like girls, Steve, you love girls, you don't love me, this was a mistake."

Steve pinches his nose, a habit Eddie knows means Steve is trying not to cry, "I'm not going to beg you to love me." Steve moves towards the door grabbing his shoes and jacket. "You know I thought you were different, Robin let me believe you were different, that you weren't Nancy, that you weren't my parents. I thought you cared about me, that you loved me too. But I'm not going to stay and be told what my heart is or isn't feeling, Eddie."

Eddie thinks he can pinpoint the exact moment he realises how bad he fucked up, somewhere between different and loved he realises how mistake sounds just like bullshit.

It's too late though, Steve's car is already gone, and this is why he doesn't fall in love, no matter what he does he always fucks it up. He just hopes he can get Steve to forgive him before Robin breaks his nose again.

[girltoya]

Old prsk events are so short compared to newer ones damn. I blame the fact that they started making the characters question and repeat everything that’s said ever for why they’re longer now. Someone will say something like “Let’s make a new song!” and we’ll have to go around the room as everyone goes “a new song?” “eh?”. Yes girl that’s what they said. They meant business back in the day. No time for dillydallying. From one thing to the next in the blink of an eye

[intotheelliwoods]

Ahh this event has gotten so much reception! I dont think I can answer you all but I will certainly try to get to as many as I can! :)

Maybe this can last 2 days? 3?? We will see!

[sleepyvib-es]

rick bringing percy and annabeth back in cameos just to consistently shit on their characters is enough to ruin my mood for at least a week
