⊹˚. ShiSaku Fic Recommendations ٠ ࣪⭑

Another ShiSaku fic recommendations thanks to @cherrycrow4ever for the good deal of fanfics they suggested and @sumisai-blog, even it's just one rec thank you nonetheless~🙏

Note : While it's fic recs for ShiSaku, there're some contains MultiSaku pairing which can be seen stated just below the fic's title so it won't cause confusion. Most are mature/adult content but will stated the rating regardless, enjoy the reading!

❥ ⌈ Crossfade [SERIES] • She_Who_Only_Knows_War ⌋

Rating : M / E || Modern AU

Sakura's going through a breakup. She joins Shisui on a drive as he waits for Itachi and Izumi to sober up.

❥ ⌈ Shut Up and Dance • sleepyfox ⌋

Rating : E || Modern AU

Sakura is desperate for a place to stay, and would do just about anything for a door she can shut in the face of anyone who pisses her off. Shisui hates being alone, and his apartment is too big for just him. It only makes sense that she should move in, right?

Crow is a famous YouTuber who posts dance videos and is known for never speaking or revealing his face to protect his identity. CherryBomb is a fan and dancer herself, and when she starts posting her own videos in response to Crow's, it sparks a friendly public rivalry and a far more private friendship. As their relationship deepens, they promise to remain anonymous where it matters most, because what they have is all they need... Right?

❥ ⌈ And So We Burn • sleepyfox ⌋

Rating : E || Pairing : MultiSaku (Haruno Sakura/Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Shisui) || Canon divergence AU

Shisui isn't surprised to see little Cherry-chan all grown up with a take no shit attitude, but he is surprised by how much he likes it. Turns out, she's just his type.

“Another Uchiha, Blossom? You seem to have a thing for guys with the Sharingan."

❥ ⌈ Would you... • Espoiretreves ⌋

Rating : E || Canon divergence AU

Sakura has no time to date. Shisui has no restraints. An injury brought them closer and their story begins.

❥ ⌈ Take Me Or Leave Me • AsterKnightengale ⌋

Rating : E || Pairing : MultiSaku (Kakasaku/ItaSaku/ShiSaku/GenSaku) || Canon divergence AU

“With the last of my power, I will take everything from you, as you have from me. This I curse you.” Everything around Sakura went black. She was falling, her legs tumbling from beneath her. It all went by so quickly she couldn’t even bring herself to scream.

When Sakura opened her eyes she was back on the grass though flat on her back this time. Slowly she sat up, a hand clutching her head that was pounding. She looked around and panic gripped her chest like a vice. “Sasuke? Naruto?” She turned to the ledge her team leader was and found it absent. “Kakashi-sensei?”

❥ ⌈ make me lose my breath (hit me hard) • onemorepineapple ⌋

Rating : M || Modern AU

She should have known she was doomed when she punched him in the face and he thanked her for it.

❥ ⌈ Flowers still bloom • jimmythemystic ⌋

Rating : T || Post-war AU

After the death of Sasuke and Naruto during the War, Sakura is only alive because she's pretty sure if she hadn't pulled herself off the ground, Kakashi would have buried himself beside them. And what would the village do without their Hokage?

Life in the village is starting to go back to normal. By chance, Sakura encounters someone long thought lost by the village. Can life, and love, bloom again?

Rishi's Time Travel Fic Recs

im bored and my meta type thinking only ever comes right when im about to fall asleep so instead I'm going to recommend some of the best time travel fics out there for series I like because I'm a sucker for fix-its

I'm only gonna confine myself to 6 fics per fandom at most (3 completed & 3 ongoing) no time loops because I personally dont see that as time travel each fic has to be over 10k words and im not going to put doormat fics that haven't been updated in the past year on this list either

anyways buckle up it's gonna be a long ride boys

Sasuke's No Good Very Bad Teammates by GwendolynStacy

Info : gen, 74k words, author's tumblr @xxgwenstacyxx

Summary :

Naruto and Sakura have gone insane.

Or : Just after becoming Team 7 Naruto and Sakura go through a massive shift in personality, leaving Sasuke out of the loop and wondering what in the name of sanity could have happened to them. His only consolation is that Kakashi is just as weirded out as he is.

Thoughts : I'm usually not a fan of outsider POV time travel fics but this one is so good we as readers have a pretty good idea what's going on and it's extremely hilarious to see Sasuke be like wtf is going on just an overall very well written fic that will definitely give you giggles

Stumble by writer168

Info : gen, 285k words, rape/non-con warning

Summary :

Sakura wanted to die.

Sasori was fine with staying dead.

But it seemed fate had other plans for them, because when they both wake up younger with blood pulsing through their veins, they had to remember how to live again.

Thoughts: While not the darkest Time Travel fic I've read from Naruto, it's definitely up there and it's a rare sasori and sakura team up that doesn't end with romance for anyone who has a lot of time on their hands and doesnt mind reading graphic rape this fic is a must read

Mangekyou Sharingan by Wingwyrm

Info : gen, 60k words, rape/non-con warning

Summary :

Sasuke wanted to be able to use Tsukuyomi. He didn't realise how bad pretending to get the Mangekyō would affect the members of his family.

Thoughts : while it has another fic called Team Tensai tied to it, it's not needed to understand and enjoy this masterpiece even though it was written before canon ended causing certain things to get jossed the underlying darkness of this fic is something I have yet to see anyone replicate

Ongoing

Life as a Nukenin by JKblue

info : gen, 35k words

summary :

Kakashi wakes up in an alternate dimension .....shenanigans ensue

Thoughts : a lighthearted kakashi centric time travel fic where he's as confused as we are, it's amazing to see the author's growth in writing as time goes on and kakashi just going fuck it time to adopt every single child I find no idea why I'm a nukenin tho lmao

Time Waits for No Man by LaughingWombat

Info : gen, 87k words

Summary :

Rokudaime Kakashi finds himself back in time, and he is trying desperately not to change anything. After all, they finally achieved that elusive peace, and Kakashi won't give that up for some ghosts and old wounds. Yet things keep changing around him, and he doesn't know what to do.

Thoughts : while the fic is nearly done TECHNICALLY it's still ongoing so cut me some slack Kakashi having to choose between what is morally right and what would keep his future safe is amazing and team Minato cares so much about Kakashi here it's too cute

Trials of Change by Espoiretreves

Info : gen, 407k words, author's tumblr @espoir-et-reves

Summary :

Haruno Sakura made a promise. Looking in the eyes of her Shisou and the reanimated Hokage, she took on the most important mission of her life.

Go back in time and try to prevent the 4th Shinobi War.

Now, Sakura is back to her 5-year-old body, with all the knowledge and haunting memories of the future. She vows to keep her precious people safe and stop certain events from happening, without altering the timeline too much. The trials her emotions and logic puts her through have her questioning her very existance, but for the sake of peace she has to push forward. No matter what.

Thoughts: I hang onto this fic every week like a vulture, Sakura isn't out of character, she doesn't seem like a self insert and she's got such a strong bond with so many characters the story is multilayered and you genuinely feel like sakura's doing justice I hope to write a time travel fic like this some day

A Letter to Me by kiapet

Info : gen, 15k words

Summary :

Fourteen-year-old Bakugou Katsuki knows he’s destined to be a great hero someday. Midoriya Izuku dreams of the same, but struggles to get through each day in a world determined to push him down. But when the pair of middle schoolers are kidnapped by a villain with a time travel quirk, they are forced to confront a future neither of them could predict- and versions of themselves they never expected to become.

-Or-

Pro!Midoriya to Kid!Midoriya: You matter so much, and everything is going to be okay! Pro!Bakugou to Kid!Bakugou: Now listen here you little shit-

Thoughts : What can be said other than phew I love me some platonic!bkdk Not a soul sending back in time fic but a forward moving one where everyone is in separate bodies, meaning Katsuki can tell his younger self to go fuck himself just a good sweet read yk?

In Every Life by lucelafonde

Info : erasermight, 37k words

Summary :

After a freak accident, Aizawa suddenly finds himself many years in the past. Dealing with a young All Might who has no idea who he is, he has to find a way back to the present while going through the worst period of his life again: high school.

“Woah there!”

He heard a muffled voice behind him just as he keeled over backwards, still shaking from the shock that had hit him. Warm hands touched against his shoulders, steadying him before he could gracelessly flop to the ground. He couldn’t turn around to look, couldn’t see anything beyond what very clearly, very obviously wasn’t there.

In front of him in the distance, where the teacher’s dorms used to be, was nothing. Nothing but grass and trees. Nothing but part of the woods Shota remembered from his own time at U.A.

Thoughts : I recently stumbled onto this gem of an erasermight fic and OH LORD IM IN LOVE teenage Toshinori is an adorable bean and Shouta's inner commentary about how he's gonna strangle all might once he gets back to his own time is cracks me up

A Spanner in the Clockworks by All_five_pieces_of_Exodia

Info : gen, 132k words

Summary :

When Izuku wakes up in the forest not far from his home, he isn't prepared for what's about to come next. Izuku's never dealt with time travel, after all, but that seems to be the least of his worries. He's not in his own timeline, for one, and he may or may not have been missing for the past few months.

With the threat of a future only Izuku knows about, a strange missing persons case, everyone around him getting suspicious, and a quirk he shouldn't have, Izuku has his work cut out for him.

Thoughts : A must read for everyone Izuku's confusion of what the hell is going on and how do I hold myself together really leaks through to the reader and his inner voice is uncanny people like to act he's real dark or all sunshine and rainbows but this fic doesn't fuck him up like others tend to do

Where your love has always been enough (for me) by classicequinox

Info : enjirei, 65k words

Summary :

It's a dark coil of anger deep in the pit of his stomach, reminding him that he was the root, the catalyst, the trigger for their family's downward spiral. It did happen - he reminds himself harshly. He can't forget that, even if time has actually reset itself.

Todoroki Enji gets a second chance. It's up to him to see what he can do with it.

Thoughts : While the updates aren't weekly it's still consistently updated I love family healing stories most of all when it's the todoroki family the first chapter of enji's last action and then his actions to be better in the past are just ugh I love me some character development

Which is why he's rather confused when he finds Bourbon calmly sitting in Shuichi's hotel room, reading a book.

Thoughts : Shuichi's perspective on this whole ordeal is just confusion why is Bourbon doing this why why why but he's Shuichi so somehow you don't feel the pity you would with most characters anyways a very good akam fic AND AKEMI IS ALIVE OK ALL I NEED

Thoughts : while it hasn't been updated in a couple months it's the only ongoing one I've read and I had to offer something or it wouldn't feel right anyways it features a LOT of cute conan and I love to see pandora be used for weird supernatural shit like time travel yk?

Summary :

Hindsight is 20/20, but when Harry's last steps into the forest set him back further than he'd ever thought, he never realised how grateful he'd be to have Snape there to help too.

Thoughts: I don't understand how this author can be so big brained they didn't prolong things they didn't do unnecessary drama the characters got everything quickly done time travel is always full of cliches but this .. this is so original utterly timeless

Until one fine day in sixth year, when he finds himself with a small, adorable child clinging to his right leg, calling him Papa.

For ItaSaku week 2022 @fm-white Prompt: Devil Summoning

Pairing: Itachi x Sakura Rating: M Tags/Warnings: Haunted House, Paranormal Investigators, demon child!Itachi, psychic!Sakura, Ghosts, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Implied/Referenced Suicide. Basically, most of the characters have died/killed each other but they're ghosts, so all's good.

Summary: Sakura smiled at the intrigue that colored their guests’ expressions; even Hanabi’s. “Ah, yes. Uchiha Itachi. Not much is known of him since he died before reaching thirty and even his death is shrouded in mystery. None of the doctors could figure out the cause of death and simply attributed it to something like sleep apnea. Anyway… the story around Itachi is that he wasn’t quite human himself.”

When is the a stranger in time dancing in flames, whispering to the stars series going to be updated

Hello dear anon.

Unfortunately, I can’t give you a certain answer regarding an update schedule. I’m going through several changes in my life currently (moved houses, started a new job, etc) and working on my wips is happening at snail’s pace. All of my ongoing fics will be on a hiatus for a bit longer.

I hope you’re well. Until next time 💖

[espoir-et-reves]

Happy Halloween 👻🎃 Here's a little something

Title: nine for a kiss Pairing: Sakura x Shisui Rating: T Tags & Warnings: Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Alternate Universe - Modern with Magic, Folklore, Witch!Sakura, dark fay!Shisui, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Implied/Referenced Torture, Stalking

Summary: “Careful, my dear,” he tilted his head to run his nose on the sensitive skin of her neck. “If thy words slip now, I might as well take everything.”

A part of Sakura honestly hoped that whatever had transpired between her and the fay was indeed a case of faery glamour and enticement. That way, she would be able to dismiss and forget the unquenchable yearning that had taken root in her core.

[espoir-et-reves]

Hi I just caught up on Shadows of Fate and I just wanted to say that I'm so glad that this is still being worked on (and not abandoned). Thank you for taking the time to work on this and bringing your AU to life!

Hello dear anon!

Thank you so much for reading SoF and I hope you’re enjoying the way the plot is progressing💖

Shadow of Fate — just like all of my wips on AO3 — has been on a hiatus for a while due to… life. I can assure you that it’s not abandoned and as I’ve started working on it again, the next chapter will be posted as soon as possible.

Once again, thank you for your support 💕

[espoir-et-reves]

Ahhhh I just caught up on Shadows of Fate and I just need a bit of venting!!

Shisui is an adult?! A real adult not just a baby pretending to be grown up! He and sakura are just platonically on some romantic level beyond soulmates at this point! And how the turns have tabled, Sasuke has a puppy-crush on sakura this time around!

Im so excited for 'Canon era' to begin and I'm (not so calmly, sorry) waiting for the next chapter! I hope its an easy write for you ❤

Hahah yes, he is an proper adult and not just a child pretending to be one anymore.

Ah, that the paradox of time travel. Sasuke is definitely less of an emo revenge-obsessed teen now, so he’s much more open to the rest of his emotions lol

The next chapter is complete and I’m halfway there on chapter 7 as well. Once chapter 6 is edited it’ll be uploaded but I can’t give you an estimate of when that’ll be.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming chapters 💖

Theory of Happiness

Rating: Mature (Gen + multi)

Fandom: Naruto

Tags and warnings: Shisui-centric, Alternative Universe — Canon Divergence, No Uchiha massacre, kind of time travel I guess, graphic depictions of violence & death, angst & hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, additional tags and relationships to be added

This is part 4 of the “a stranger in time dancing in flames, whispering to the stars” series and a deeper dive into Shisui's character and story, which won't make much sense without reading Trials of Change and Shadows of Fate.

Summary:

Shisui had always been asked to reach higher than he was able or more accurately than he wanted to. The dreams he had dreamt in his youth were replaced by the single wish to become — or at least appear — ordinary; after all, he didn't want to attract attention, for the world takes as much as it gives, and then demands some more.

And so he kept selling a lie. Even when everything was taken from him and when the fire in his veins threatened to burn him to ashes, he kept selling the lie...

[espoir-et-reves]

I just wanted to say thank you for writing Trials of Change, it one of my favorite fics and its really well written.

I’m really glad you think so and thank YOU for reading it! 💖

[espoir-et-reves]

Hoiiiiii, I wanted to ask how your update schedule for Shadows of Fate looks like approximately (issokie if u dont have one) I'm dying outta curiousity and i wanted to ask. Hope that's ok. Anyways, when I tell you I'm obsessed w ToC and SoF, I'm not lying!!!!!!!!! Hands down its my most favourite sakura fic ever!!

Hi, dear anon!

That's such a great compliment and thank you so much for sharing it with me! I'd love to tell you about my update schedule but I can't because there isn't one😂 I'm quite literally starting a new chapter in my life coming January with a move and a new job, so all of my ongoing fics are, and will be on hiatus until I'm settled in. Hopefully, the next chapter of SoF will be finished by mid or late January. Still, I can't promise anything until I get a hang of everything that's to come.

Happy holidays and a happy new year🎉💖

[espoir-et-reves]

hi! i'm just here to inquire if you're alright with people writing spin-offs of your fics..? sorry i know that sounds weird but yeah

Hello!

I'm okay with fics that are inspired by my works, as long as you let your readers know. For a spin-off though, that is set in the "universe" of one of my fics or series, it would depend on which fic, pairing, or characters we're talking about since most of my works are ongoing and I have set plans on future plotlines that involve, well, most of the characters 😂

You can send me a personal message to talk about it if you'd like💖

[espoir-et-reves]

I have become absolutely enamored with your world-building and stunning story telling in A Tale of Songs and Ashes. I by no means want to rush you or come across impatient. I am simply a little too obsessed with the story and sincerely hope it will be continued (of course by whatever pace you deem appropriate for yourself). Your health and well-being come first over anyone's wishes for updates, please know I encourage and respect this. Thank you for your lovely stories, you are genuinely gifted!

Hello dear! I'm really happy that you're enjoying the story I've crafted for A Tale of Songs and Ashes and I want to assure you that I have not given up on any of my fics🥰🥰 In the past couple of months, there have been a lot of setbacks, family issues, matters of health, work and preparation for yet another round of uni exams that will begin soon, and unfortunately, my stories suffered from all those as well. The next chapter of A Tale of Songs and Ashes will most likely be out in July because I want to work on my other fics that have remained neglected for longer. Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you're well~ Until next time💖

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Warnings/Tags: PTSD, Nightmares, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Homesickness, Post-Fourth Shinobi War, Blank Period, Canon Universe, Female Friendships

Main character: Temari

Relationships: Temari/Shikamaru, Temari & Nara Yoshino, Temari & Ino & Sakura & Hinata & Karui & Tenten

Summary:

Perhaps she was beginning to realize that her own skin was not as thick as she had always thought it to be, but Temari hated the fact that everyone in her new home seemed so ready to move on with their lives.

Especially when she still woke up screaming her throat raw at night.

Second part of a stranger in time dancing in flames, whispering to the stars aka Trials of Change pt. 2

Rating: M Fandom: Naruto Sakura-centric, time travel fix-it Summary:

Haruno Sakura made a promise. Looking into the eyes of her shishō and the reanimated Hokage, she took on the most important mission of her life.

Now, she's back to the past; she has already managed to somehow save Konoha and the Uchiha clan from Shimura Danzō's nefarious activities, but her work is not done yet.

Oh, no. She has a War to prevent.

Life goes on and Sakura has to keep weaving her way through the shadows of her new reality. She's glad she has friends to help her along the way.
