There is a limit to how long one can keep themselves in denial. Tobirama has reached his, and is rapidly starting to wonder how he had ever managed to ignore his attraction to the Uchiha Clan Head in the first place. It doesn't help that every new observation of Madara's competence is doing awful things to his heart, and every day his resolve to wait until the right time for a proper courtship proposal is tested. But if there's one thing Tobirama does well, it's persevere with tenacity and patience. It will all come in due time.

5 Naruto Fic Recs - ♀ character POV

Here are five of my favorite fics written from the POV of a female character (90% Sakura), that just give feminism

to love what is mortal by 100demons - COMPLETE, 8K

T, No Archive Warnings Apply, Multi, Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto, Kakashi/Obito, Team 7, Post-Canon, Road Trip, Team as Family, POV Sakura

Team 7 takes the long way home after the war.

“Change of plans!” Sakura cries out. “We’re going to get lost on the road of life, sensei!”

[dove's notes: this was so, so good characterization. The writing was incredible, as were the messy learning-how-to-be-together-again team dynamics. Sakura and all her teammates are Feeling Many Things and working them out. And it starts with a Mary Oliver poem! I love Mary Oliver.]

2. Fireworks by hes5thlazarus - COMPLETE, 8K

M, Chose Not to Use Warnings, No Warnings Apply. F/F, F/M, M/M, Sakura/Hanabi, Sakura & Sarada, Sakura & Naruto, Sakura & Sasuke, Hinata/Naruto, Sasuke/Naruto; Romance, Feminist Themes, Motherhood, Mother-Daughter Relationship, Boruto Fix-It, Family, Deconstruction, Divorce & Post-Divorce, Bisexuality, Infidelity, No Bashing, Canon-div, PTSD, POV Sakura, BAMF Sakura

Sarada takes one look at the Uchiha legacy and decides she wants no part of it. Sakura, who has built herself a life independent of the husband who abandoned them, tries to reckon with how her daughter cannot actually decide the path her life takes. And Hanabi is happy to offer advice and consolation, as Sakura tries to talk her best friends into letting Sarada be a civilian.

A feminist deconstruction of Naruto, where everyone is taken seriously and treated with the same love Sakura offers to all her friends. No character-bashing, just contemplating what could have happened if, when Sasuke left Sakura and their baby the second time, Sakura decided to file for divorce rather than wait for him to come back. Of course they still love each other. Of course it's not simple.

[dove's notes: This fic is so underrated, and I highly recommend it. It's exactly what the summary/tags say. Beautifully written, and an honest look at the flaws these characters bring with them into adulthood. Not really for HinaNaru or SasuSaku fans, as the relationships are portrayed in a dysfunctional manner (Which is pretty Boruto canon tbh) I really like that Sakura was able to find happiness with Hanabi, and Sakura's evolving and loving relationship with her daughter. The feminist deconstruction and themes were amazingly well done.]

3. before you by theformerone - COMPLETE, 149K

M, Graphic Depictions of Violence, MCD, F/F, F/M, M/M, Sakura/Mito, Hashirama/Mito, Sakura & Sasuke, Hashirama & Mito, minor TobiMada; Time Traveling Lesbians, Warring States Period, Fix-It, Canon-div, Grief, Angst, Survivor's Guilt, Arranged Marriages, Ninja Politics, Slow Burn, BAMF Sakura, Slow Burn, Suicide, Assisted Suicide, Suicidal Thoughts, Hurt/Comfort, Drama, Reincarnation, POV Sakura

When she is somersaulted back in time to Uzushio before it was Uzushio, with Kurama's yin chakra folded into the seal on her forehead, heart bursting with loss and the weight of her burden, she tells them her name is Tsubaki. Uzumaki Mito looks at her like she is an enemy.

[dove's notes: If you have ever looked for a long naruto fic with a main sapphic pairing, you have probably found this fic. I must include it in this list (despite its popularity) because it is my Favorite. Mito and Sakura have so much chemistry, and the time travel aspect is a really fun and well-executed trope here.]

4. The Remaking of Things series by Jemsquash -ONGOING, 295K

T, M, E (Work rated E can be skipped); No Warnings Apply, MCD; F/M, Gen, F/F; Kakashi/Obito, Minato, Kushina, Mikoto, Jiraiya, Uchiha Clan, so many naruto ocs, POW recovery, Grief, Worldbuilding, Always a Different Sex AU, fem!Obito, disabled character POV, POV Obito, Trans themes, Feminist Themes, Gender Issues, Ableism, Slow Burn, Unreliable Narrator, Canon-div, Canon-Typical Violence, Politics

In which Obito does not get found and brainwashed by some really old also-brainwashed dead guy, but gets grabbed by other Iwa shinobi and spends a year in a Prisoner of War camp until after the war. Then limps her sorry self home to Konoha, about 3 months after the Nine-tails attack.

Kakashi deals with it about as well as can be expected…

The Uchiha however, while still being their usual stoic, antisocial, really-messed-up selves; do manage to somehow get their kid back into one piece mentally and physically.

At which point Obito takes a long hard look at Konoha, it’s dubious goings on with sanctimonious Sarutobi and backstabbing Danzo and decides to not put up with this shit.

[dove's notes: I haven't finished this series yet as it is very long, but I have had a great time reading fem!Obito's POV. She's well-written, as is the rest of the cast, with comple emotions and motivations as the storyline develops. She's very Obito. As dark as ninja verse is, these characters manage to find what happiness they can and support each other.]

5. most girls, or, the one where sakura grows up and gets a fangirl along the way by theformerone - COMPLETE, 6K

G, No Warnings Apply, Gen. Sakura, Inner Sakura, Naruto, Tsunade, Shizune, Rookie 9, Moegi, Konohamaru, Udon; Sakura-centric, girls solidarity, Sakura/Character Development, Canon Compliant

In the years between Naruto’s departure and return, Sakura develops. Aggressively. She also gains a second shadow.

[dove's notes: this is actually on my TBR list but I've skimmed over it and it looks so good.]

[genmui-to-infinity]

minor madatobi fanfic rant-ish

I know that this probably doesnt only happen in madatobi/tobimada fics, definitely happens in other pairings and fandoms too but since it's the one I mostly read aside from genmui, i will set it as an example.

Its absolutely a pet peeve when authors casually put a Japanese term in there and expect their readers to know what the hell does that mean as if we have a google translate extension in our eyes like, thank you for your amazing work, really I appreciate hardworking writers, but at least put the meaning of those words in your chapter notes or something because not all of us read on PC and sometimes read your stories offline. A little bit of that wouldn't hurt. We should write in a way readers would understand and i don't mean correct grammar and all that shit. I dont know if Im the only one but it ruins the pacing of the story if I'm reading then I go, 'what the fuck does that mean in english?

Other than that, the stories are fantastic. Rant-ish over. Idc if you hate it

[aaronieros]

me writing this tobimada with izuna interactjons going into it like "i don't really get tobiizu it feels kinda pair the sparesy" and coming out of it somehow accidentally tobiizu pilled

[fire-eyed-raven]

I might or might not be slightly drunk and in the process of writing a long ass ranting post about my thoughts about TobiMada and my puzzlement about this pairing.

[who-can-touch-my-boob]

When my favourite smut writer post a new fic:

[thekingwhereitallends]

Madara:Can You Believe It?

Obito:Can I Believe What It?!?

Madara:I Just Walked into The Bed...

Madara:and I Searched The Whole Internet to See Who I am Shipped With...

Madara:and If I Don't Consider My Eternal Powerful Senju Shit Rival and His Own Frowny Little Bastard Brother...

Madara:I was Shipped With Mito Uzumaki!!!

Obito:and?!?!?!?

Madara:That was Awesome...and Painful...

Itachi:Oh...Virginity...I Can Sympathize with You...I am Shipped The Most With Sakura Haruno...

Shisui:Not Me?!?

Itachi:Get Lost Shisui...You are at Best My First and Best Friend...

Obito:and I am Shipped The Most With My Love Rin...and Our Ship is Top 5 Most Popular in The World...

Naruto:Have You Heard of NaruSasu?!?

Itachi:Deidara;My Favorite Psychopath Blond Out There...

Deidara:Yep?

Itachi:Art...

Deidara:IS AN EXPLOSION!!!

Itachi:No One Messes With My Boy Even If He is The One that I Believe in.

Deidara:My Man,Where are You Sasori?!?

[madbuns]

Omegaverse

[amgeryporcupine]

TobiMada but Kagami is their biological son, made possible by Tobirama's proudest jutsu yet- edo tensei could never compare

Honestly, preggo madara fanarts are rare. . . for a valid reason I think lmao AND not many good fanfics exists as well let alone a tobimada pairing *sad crying*

So I took it upon myself to make a fanart of one bcs I'm weird and desperate that way 𓁹‿𓁹

[chalabrun]

Hashirama’s political marriage to Mito was to strengthen Leaf as a new military village. I get it that the serious lovers of hashisaku pairing, who’re under the impression that this could actually work (’cause Sakura was robbed in Canon; she’s always duking robbed!), aren’t all that bright, but Hashirama tossing aside the wife he took in for political reasons for Sakura ... is one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever heard. What would Sakura offer to him compared to Mito? Nothing. And Tobirama? He was probably ... gay or completely asexual. Why would Sakura interest him? She’s completely ordinary, and she possesses no talent to invent nor any natural ability for him to study. She isn’t even remotely prodigious to even mildly interest him.

So, let me get this straight... You see fit to pick a fight with the shipper of a harmless rarepair, why, again? A ship that barely makes a blip on the Founders' side of the fandom's radar, just to bandwagon the same shit Sakura-anti's have been peddling for years? Aside from the fact that your argument is the most tired bullshit in existence, I'm going to state it over in case it's not getting through your thick skull:

The ship on places like tumblr or twitter are tagged. On Ao3, it's tagged. Instead of bitching and moaning about a ship you could easily avoid, you could block the tags and move on. It's not fucking rocket science. If you go out of your way to seek it, that's a you-issue, not that of us shippers.

Secondly, why is it the Founders' fandom only gets possessive of Hashirama when shipping him with Sakura is involved? From what I've seen, you all are happy to shit on Hashi's character for miles around, belittling him as a dumb idiot who can't function without his brother as if he wasn't the most powerful shinobi in the fucking series, who was a charismatic military leader capable of bringing even his clan's sworn and ancient enemies under the fold to unite in a revolutionary village that was his idea in the first place? But no, unless it's convenient, he's either dumb as a rock or people hamfist one-dimensional yandere tropes to make his brother or Madara look like poor little meow-meows.

And don't even get me started on how ya'll treat Hashimito, let alone Mito. 'Political marriage', where? Show me irrevocable proof that Hashimito was only a political marriage, that Hashirama didn't grow to love and cherish his wife with time. I mean, fuck's sake, this pairing was the blueprint for ships like Dantsu, Minakushi, and Naruhina, but instead your reductive take was that it was just for political gain? Or how she's the awful, bad lady who gets in the way of pairings like Hashimada (even if smart people polyship them, but I guess I'm not one of them, according to you).

Again with the headcanons. Show me complete and utter proof that a manga with heteronormative endgame ships that Tobirama was gay or asexual. (And don't bring SNS into the mix when Kishi literally based them off his relationship with his twin brother, you naughty incest shippers! /s)

Oh, but the horror of shipping him with Sakura! In a horrible, terrible ship that barely has 50 fics to its name! Won't someone think of the poor Hashimada shippers who have almost ~2k fics on Ao3? Or Tobimada that blitzes well past it when Tobisaku has barely 120? Goodness gracious, someone save them!

I mean, who can ever think of shipping the poor Senju bros with a woman who didn't even exist in their era, who is usually transplanted via Genswap or time travel AU's? In fanworks that absolutely affect canon! Wow, she's such a threat! I mean, gosh, she's just soooo useless with how she became the strongest kunoichi in the Leaf, the greatest med-nin in the world after her master's retirement, who was so gosh-darn useless as the heroine! I mean, it's not like she could mesh well with Hashirama who's stated to have healing abilities greater than Tsunade! Oh, they'd never get along. And I bet she'd never get her foot through the door with Tobirama, especially since Sakura's expertise with biomedical sciences would grate so much against his own expertise in similar fields! And the fact that they share similar values just wouldn't do! Y'know, since their shared morals and desire to protect humanity and the village just wouldn't work! Awful, just awful.

Also... why on earth do you assume Tobirama would want to boink a test subject? I don't know about you, but that sounds awfully belittling despite how high of an esteem you hold for you him, supposedly. So what if she isn't test subject-worthy? I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to fuck someone I'm about to cut into, but that's just me. (And for the love of gods, don't bring Tobimada into this. Saying that every Tobimada shipper sees this as the sole reason they ship it is, again, pretty damn insulting to them lmao--)

Besides that, Sakura has invented jutsu before, my dear, pea-brained friend. She created Cherry Blossom Impact, drastically expanded on chakra-enhanced strength in the novels, devised the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, a chakra radar, among others. But, again, if you dilute your reasons for shipping a pairing based on how much jutsu they've invented, who's being shallow here, exactly? The way I see it, Tobirama would want to be with someone intelligent who is strong enough to protect the village and who shares similar values as him. Why would he care about arbitrary things like how much he could experiment on? He's not Dr. Frankenfurter, please.

And even if people ship them because they self-insert in Sakura and want to ship her because she's the heroine and some rando, Founder or otherwise, is hot, who cares? This is fucking fandom. Shipping isn't activism or a career, and sure as hell doesn't add anything to canon except enjoyment in the fanbase. It's 2022 and it's too late in Naruto's existence to care about intellectual quandaries surrounding shipping, of all things. If you do, then good lord--see a therapist. Get a different hobby outside of fandom, it sounds like you need it.

But, thanks for being an amusing waste of time. I'll be sure to reflect on this when I continue writing my Foundersaku stories, buh-bye!

Most popular fics are:

There is sunshine on his forehead (Gen, Minor SakuSai) - Soulmate AU The first words your soulmate will say that will break your heart are written on your forearm. Sakura is five, and she already knows two things: her mark is awful, and whoever “Sasuke” is, she’s going to kill him. Withered Flowers (Hiashi/Fugaku) - Canon Divergence Hizashi is dead. He’s dead, and Hiashi is alone. It should have been the start of the end of the world, one thing leading to another until a rabbit goddess comes out of the moon and— Except it’s not. Except a butterfly, somewhere, changes everything when Hiashi finds himself drinking his sorrows away in the same bar Uchiha Fugaku decided to drowned his as well. It should have been the start of the end of the world. Instead, it would lead to the most massive change in Konoha’s history. our oath (we’re expendable) (Gen, Sakura-centric) - Post-War canon divergence The war is over and the headcount is made official. Sakura frantically goes through the list of names, dread pooling in the bottom of her stomach. The verdict is finale. Sakura is the last Haruno. This is the story of how she’ll become Clan Head, and rebuild her clan from its ashes. wake up (this is my promise to you) (Gen, Sakura & Sasuke friendship) - Crossover w/ Fullmetal Alchemist, Time-Travel AU Barukh watches, from the roofs of his village. He watches the desert, and waits for the signs of blue uniforms and blond hair, for the sun mirrored on the blade of a soldier. Instead, he sees a shape, stumbling out of the desert, burned skin blistering and dehydrated. He sees a woman, carrying something big on her back, so exhausted she looks about to fall with every stop she takes. She’s not wearing blue. She doesn’t have blond hair. So Barukh gets off the roof, and meets the woman halfway to offer her rest in the village. He doesn’t know yet that he just invited the savior of his people.

I’m finding I’m not her (the girl I thought I’d be) (NaruSasuSaku) Trans!Sakura, Coming of Age There are lies on her ID and sneers waiting for her at home, shame and scorn and torn dresses and harsh words. But then she sees Naruto’s smile and the fragile hope in Kakashi-sensei’s eye that maybe, he won’t screw this up and the peace in Sasuke’s shoulders and she thinks, maybe, it’ll be okay in the end.

Personal favorite fics are (all of the above count):

if i could i would (challenge your demons at dawn) (Warden Mahariel/Zevran) Origins retelling What if, when Duncan forces Mahariel to join the Warden, Tamlen and her have a child? A story about war, parenting, healthy relationships and communication. A story about a Dalish who hates shems, forced to lead them, and an Antivan assassin forced to follow his failed assassination mark. It all goes well, in the end.

drown in dreams of daylight (Gen, Sakura & Tsunade-centric) Soulmate AU The first words your soulmate will say that’ll make you respect you are tattooed on your body. Sakura is weak and alone and her fathers just died. Kakashi-sensei is sleeping in the hospital, Naruto left her behind to go chase a new Hokage and she’s alone and her fathers just died. Then Senju Tsunade walks into her life and Sakura doesn’t remember how to breathe.

all the leaves are brown (SakuIbiki) Time-Travel Fix It AU They call her Honeytrap Haruno, and like every awful nickname given to the elite of Konoha's force, it sticks. She’s ugly and she’s harsh, they don’t know where she comes from and she adopted the Fox kid right after he killed his parents and Sarutobi forced all of them to shut up about it. Suffice to say, no one likes her. Tough luck, cause she’s not going anywhere, and Ibiki might be a little bit smitten (ft. the most vanilla sex you can think of and two people enjoying it very much)

samurai verse (ShikaSaku) Ronin!Sakura on-going series of one-shots telling the story of samurai Haruno Sakura from the Land of Iron and her complicated love with Nara Shikamaru, honeypot and prostitute extraordinaire and secretly Konoha shinobi. child of the mist (ShikaSaku) Trans!Sakura, also Wave-born!Sakura Sakura looks in the mirror and she hates, with everything she has, every fiber of her being, until the self-loathing is so primal, so ingrained, that she’s bursting at the seams with the rage and the self-hatred, and Shikamaru doesn’t know what to do, how to help, how to heal them both. It gets better, one shower at a time.

the thing you’re becoming (is a bloody wonder) (ShikaSaku) Shikamaru has amnesia AU Hokage Sakura comes home from work to find her husband, his skull cracked open in their garden, his hand still gripping the paintbrush he was using on the fence she complained the night before wasn’t to her liking. When he wakes up, he remembers neither her, their family, nor himself. 

If you ever only read one story of mine, let it be this one:

dusk (we will never look back) (ShikaSaku) let’s-escape-into-the-forest-and-start-a-new-life-just-for-us well. it’s exactly that. they escape into the forest and start a new life, from building their own home with their own four hands to growing a garden, their love, and a family. the story i’m the most proud of, indisputably. 

The best story I ever wrote, in my opinion:

soldiers never die (they only fade away) (Shepard-centric, minor Shepard/Joker) Post-Reaper War, PTSD!Shepard Shepard suffered brain damage during her final moments in the Crucible. The Alliance parades her around in a victory tour for as long as they need her, before shoving her back into the Normandy with her reassambled crew and not enough psychologists in the Milky Way to make sense of the mess in her damaged brain. How can you lead a crew when some days, you can’t even remember how to zip your pants closed.

[raendown]

Why do you like TobiMada? I personally don't find it appealing at all, but I noticed that it's very popular. I'm not hating or anything, just super curious!

It’s literally my main OTP, haha. I’m a multishipper, though, I ship a loooot of things. There’s usually something for everyone among my pairings. Ship and let ship, I say. I’m hardly going to be angry at someone just for liking different stuff than me! 

[blackberreh-art]

many times yes to the tentatobi stuff that i've seen so far from drawing to little snippets of fic!! tobimada is one of my fav pairings and i've seen them do top and bottom both for tobi and madara and i don't know why but i like top-tobi and bottom-madara although i'll read and enjoy both! so the look of madara enjoying tobi's tentacles is just very good to me! is the lubricant that the tentacles produce double as an aphrodisiac? let madara have all the fun with the tentacles and go for it!

YUSSSSSS

I enjoy both as well;;;; and you know what? About the aphrodisiac, I was actually debating back and forth on it! And I’m aiming for yes, yes it does lmao
