#haruno sakura fic rec

[jyacira1]

blank period sasusaku!

[aprito]

"He stared at her black and blue neck, rage boiling inside him once more. How dare he… handle her like livestock. There was no respect in his attack. She was a speck to him. Even he killed Chika with some element of ceremony. And yet, Sakura… wanted Sasuke home, even after all he had done. Sasori was once again reminded of why it was so easy for her to take him under her wing last autumn… “You said that mercy is useless,” Sakura replied, catching Sasori’s attention once more. He looked back up at her, his doll eyes reflective and gentle. He did believe that… “Your mercy saved me,” he admitted, speaking slowly."

At the edge of my seat with every update of A Second Chance by @evartandadam. She just gets both the themes of the series and these two <3 Please give it a read if you haven't!

Naruto Fanfiction | Life Without Kurama, Chapter 17

Kizashi Haruno secures center stage for this chapter's spotlight. The soft-canonized father figure of Team 7's one and only kunoichi has a lot to say to his conflicted daughter. Family bonds clash with Sakura's inner turmoil, plus there's a lot of the usual ninja world complexity thrown in. Let's see what becomes of Kizashi and Mebuki's beloved little flower...

[rivianaaa]

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARUNO SAKURA!!!!!

(The internet in the province is so shitty and I just came home and god, it's like I failed my duty as a hardcore fan of Sakura on not greeting her 😭)

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

MY GIRL IS SO LOOKING PRETTY!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (Yes I've been eating up those videos on tiktok, what can I say? its my drug)

MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON HER ELEMENT!!!!

(Credits to the owners of this fantastic artwork)

Okay, I've got goods. I wanna recommend on how badass she is and everyone should read it. Since you know I'm a whore of KakaSaku, be ready that I'll recommend fics with this pairing.

The Sixth Shadow Created by @thinknicht | ao3 ⇀ Holy fuck, this is my shit. My drug that keeps me alive. Sakura on this fic is so badass. Aside from the freaki-delicious KakaSaku moments, the most favorite thing I like the most on this fic are: ❀ the medical aspect ❀ the political settings in Konoha ❀ the fight scenes ❀ the unreliable narrator tag (please be aware on this tag) ❀ Sakura's compassion (this woman is a mother!!!!!!! someone should put a statue of her at the center of Konoha!) ❀ Sakura's emotional conflict towards Kakashi. (It's not pining. This is the most important point.) I have no words—this fic is so *slowly ascends* Silver Lining Created by @thinknicht | ao3 ⇀ This fic has made me think everything. Like I've daydreamed so much. I thought the Fourth Shinobi War, Kaguya, Naruto and Sasuke, that weirdass cocoon, and also Kakashi and Sakura. Thinkie is truly an enigma, fucking hell, her brain is so good.

The Healing Slugs Sage Created by @justabrazilianwriter | ao3 ⇀ Dimension travel. This is it. AHHHHH!! Do you know how happy I am like *punching in the air* and its' KAKASAKU???? Obito throws Sakura in a different dimension where medical knowledge is so stunted due to the absence of Tsunade's existence. I know Obito cares about Sakura, but I can't help to thank the man of being a matchmaker HAHAHA!

The Idol Created by sassafrassing | ao3 ⇀ Do you know how many times I read this???? Do you how many times I type this title in the search box whenever I open my chrome??? This fic is so glorious. Two broken souls were ready to end their lives, but fate strings them together that blooms for a second chance. Holy shit, I love the scene where Sakura caress Kakashi's hair as he laid down on her lap. AHHHHH!!! I whisper scream when Kakashi decide to go back at the field to save his team and like—AHHHHH!!!

A Four Week Class in Flirting, Seduction, and Bagel Making Created by @goldfishlover73 | ao3 ⇀ Talking about tension and baking, what a dangerous combination lmaooo! I smiled so stupidly when Kakashi watch Sakura as if there is no people in the room—and oh fucking god, the frencchhhhhh!!!

The Fall Created by BelleDayNight | ao3 ⇀ I would like to thank the discord server scarecrows and cherryblossoms for this theme. This fic is so chef's kiss. Fallen angel Kakashi??? And the Dark Kakashi tag???? Perfection 👌

This beautiful AU and Run with the Hares (Hunt with the Hounds) of @brighteuphony ⇀ Let's start with the former which it held my love (because Sakura's hair is so fluffyyyyyy!!!!!!! and she's so badass holy fuck) and Im so hyped on the latter tbh! It only has 1 chapter, but I held my sanity so tight on not to read it for now.

That's all for now. There are lots lots of KakaSaku fics, but these fics has grab me by the throat and read it.

Anyways, happy birthday Haruno Sakura! 💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸🌸

Naruto Fic Recs

Since so many people liked my svsss rec list I thought I might do one for Naruto, warning all of these are either sasuke-kakashi centric so if you don't like that I recommend you don't read this! Anywho!

heroes come back Summary: Sasuke Uchiha is reborn as Timothy Drake

With Friends Like These Summary:

“I’m from the future—seven years in the future.” There’s a long, drawn-out silence. Itachi’s face is unreadable as he stares at Sasuke. “You’re what?” he finally says.

Sasuke travels back in time to stop the war. He infiltrates the Akatsuki in order to kill them - he doesn't expect to take a page out of Naruto's book and befriend them instead.

CCG Public Enemy No 1 Summary: Kakashi had a single red-and-black eye for more than half his life. Now, he has two.

twist 'verse Summary: Team Seven, in all its iterations, gets fucked over by whatever cosmic powers yet again and time travels/reincarnates/possesses bodies of the Founders. (Note: This is a series not a fic, but I thoroughly enjoyed it so it's making the list anyway.)

Frayed Truths 'verse Summary:

"What are you saying?" Kakashi demands, distress turning his tone harsh. "That you don't know when he'll wake up?" "I'm saying I don't know if he will."

When Itachi uses the Tsukuyomi on his brother that day in the hallway, he miscalculates. In the aftermath, Sakura and Naruto struggle with what it means to be a team and Kakashi sits by the bedside of a boy that might never wake.

A single misstep, and everything changes.

[NOW UNDERGOING EDITING]

(Note: This is also a series and not a fic, I'm sorry about that, but once again it's very good. The series itself has no summary so I went with the summary for the first fic in the series.)

How a Young Heart Really Feels Summary: It was absolutely the most devastating thing to ever happen to him in his six years of life. He knew Uchiha were supposed to love too deeply, but this was ridiculous! He was just a kid, for god's sake! He didn't want to be in love!

Or: Sasuke gets a crush and it messes with best laid plans.

Misrecognition Summary: During the fight on top of the hospital after Itachi's tsukuyomi Sasuke sees Naruto's rasengan and decides that was the final nail to hammer home his weakness, how he would never be able to become stronger than his brother. He was a loser, destined to fail, destined to die. So he might as well die now.

Sasuke tries to use Naruto's rasengan as a means to an end. Friend-killer Kakashi watches this.

Restore My Faith Summary: Sasuke was consumed with hatred because his family was killed. His entire family, not a single person left alive except him and their killer. It was enough to drive someone insane, or into the arms of the first maniac promising him enough power for revenge.

Instead Sasuke finds a little baby Uchiha on a meaningless mission and leaves Konoha for a vastly different reason. (Note: Very literally my favorite fic in the world, of you were to read any fic on this list I beg that it is this one.)

Never Trust Your Rinnegan (Tales of Sasuke's Travels) Summary: "Sasuke isn't in the Elemental Nations.

None of the Elemental Nations have buildings quite like this, people quite like this. Sure, Ame is weird, but this is really pushing it. These people don't have Chakra signatures, they shouldn’t be alive.

The Rinnegan has never teleported him somewhere he hasn’t already gone."

OR: Sasuke is transported to the world of BNHA and has a very hard time trying to get out.

Road to Nowhere Summary: Hitoshi knows there's something wrong with himself before he's even old enough to have a sense of self. He looks at his reflection and knows that the infant looking back at him isn't what he should be seeing.

His dreams are a maelstrom of grief and fear, his mind overwhelmed with a lifetime of emotions his brain isn't developed enough to comprehend. There's an ingrained instinct blaring that everything is wrong wrong wrong.

--

In which Hatake Kakashi is reincarnated as Shinsou Hitoshi, and he wants nothing to do with this world's so-called "heroes."

A step to the left (and right off the cliff) Summary: Team Seven starts off on a different foot and Sasuke's canonical journey to get stronger goes off the rails a bit. It all works out though. Probably.

Some More SasoSaku Fic Recs!

Hey fam. So I've been reading some very good SasoSaku fics and I want to rec them to anyone looking for some new content to add their queues!

A Scar with Your Name on It by @athelise

Rated M

This is a Kazekage!Sasori AU that reimagines the Naruto timeline. Not only is the prose beautiful, but the nuanced examination of both Sasori, Sakura, and the tensions and obstacles between them is very well done. Also, it's hilarious.

Paralysis by @lightweaving

Rated E

Very hot smut fic that takes place in a ninjaverse AU where Sakura apprentices under Sasori to learn toxicology. He's a very hardass teacher to impress, but she is determined to excel and impress him...and she succeeds. Bonus points for creative use of chakra strings in a mature scene!!

Bait and Hitch by Aelynthi

Rated M

Another modern SasoSaku banger from aelynthi!! This one features fake dating played out to its hilarious logical ends. Sakura needs a fake boyfriend to save face with Sasuke's family, and Sasori needs someone to vouch to Chiyo that he's turned over a new leaf as an upstanding citizen worthy of his inheritance. Bonus points for a very fun Ino, which I always appreciated.

[petalstoashes]

Sasusaku Smut Recs

sasusaku smut you probably haven't read yet

Green - pWITHp, Sensual, Vanilla, etc.

Orange - Semi-public, Light b/ndage, Soft k!nks , etc.

Red - BD*S*M, A/B/O, Hard k!nks, etc.

Purple - Dark Content, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat (read tags)

+ Tender - pain_somnia @pain-somnia

So he ignored it as best as he could.

He ignored freckled shoulders and winsome smiles meant just for him. He ignored creamy thighs and slender fingers that pinched at the back of his shirt.

Those tender feelings weren’t meant for him to explore.

+ Happy Birthday, Sakura - Efaya

As they were finally left alone, Sasuke took another swig of sake, as did Sakura, sitting quietly next to one another. It was a peaceful silence, just small sips of sake shared between them in the dark evening, accented by hanging lights across the top of the bar. Sasuke put his glass down, his gaze returning to his companion. “The dobe forgot.

+ Hush - SouthSideStory @southsidestory

They have to be quiet. Sasuke's parents are only one floor down, and they sleep lightly, like most shinobi. It's difficult, though, when he's touching her like this and whispering loving words in her ear...

+ Bite Hard - MelliCity @mellicity

(Recreational Dr/g Use)

It didn't help that the w/ed they were smoking was going straight to her p/ssy.

+ Restraint - sparklyfaerie @sparklyfaerie

Sasuke does not often exert this kind of dominance over her.

+ Train Wrecked - Annonymous

(Public s/x, Strangers k!nk)

sakura would always catch the eye of a certain black haired guy during her train ride.

+ Plush - moontown

(light sp/nking)

"Basically, they were both a little thicker than they had been ten years ago. But that wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that they still wanted to f/ck like horny teenagers."

+ The Cherry Wood Armorie - Endoh

(mirror s/x, soft k!nks)

no summary

+ she's just like candy (she's so sweet) - iwasbitch

Log in to read. Hokage Sasuke (Power play, Edge play, Glove k!nk)

shikamaru was right, as he almost always was. sasuke really did want to fuck his head medic.

+ cream filled - brumel

(Threes/me (cursed form), double pen/tration)

Somehow, one night, Sasuke's cursed self manifests itself in the couple's bedroom.

+ good girl - brumel

(Thre/some (clones))

A mistake from Sakura makes Sasuke a very, very happy man.

+ Inside Voices - flipfloppandas

(Femd*m, Pegg/ng)

Sasuke does not need words to speak to her. Likewise, Sakura does not need to speak to get what she wants. Especially not when they want the same thing. That thing being her absolutely ruining him.

+ Shakti - specwrites

(D*m/S*b, Rough body play)

He never wanted a good fuck like he did after a fight.

Call it adrenaline, call it a literal lust for power, call it what you will; the woman writhing underneath him was only too happy to comply. 

+ Thot Seat - moontown

Multi-chap (An*l, Bre/ding K!nk, Public S/x)

It was just a game that college kids liked to play, but as stupid as it was, it was also extremely informative.

+ hands on the wheel - brumel

Log in to read (Power play, Age difference, Face f/cking)

The amount of times Sasuke finds something wrong with his car in the span of three months since he first visited the auto repair shop is insane. 

+ For Him - silentvoicescryingout

Log in to read (Blo/d play, D*m/S*b, Snakes)

It is Sasuke's birthday and Sakura offers him absolutely everything on a platter.

+ Summoning (Pareas carinatus) - pseudolily

(Teratonoph!llia (Snake-Human Hybrid), Bl/od play)

Sasuke has a secret — one he doesn't give out easily. Not to his closest friends. Not even to his girlfriend, Sakura. It's a summoning privilege, a power he is yet to use, but tonight he lets it out. And he lets it play.

+ Symbiosis - sokku

Multi-chap (Incubus, Vampire, Bre/ding K!nk)

A incubus and a vampire are unlikely combinations that shouldn’t work. But they make it possible.

+ Cake by The Ocean - chickenoodlesoup

(Teratonoph!llia (Mermaid), Bre/ding K!nk)

Mermaid Sakura and Human Sasuke have hot s/x by the ocean

note: i might recommend twitter accounts and twitter/priviter exclusive fics if this post does well.

“A body can acclimate to anything. The burning, the stabbing, the cutting. When it was done, always, she was permitted to heal herself. The torture was bearable. Painful, but bearable. And it always came to an end.The betrayal hurt far more.“

If you haven’t already... go and do yourself a favor by reading Covenant by @starry0-o! - an incredible slow-burn, novel-length SasuSaku fanfic that will have you double guessing everything after every update!

I made this moodboard as a small token of appreciation for Starry on her birthday so go give her some love  🥹

magician x priestress pt.2

[psy-ay-ay]

so i wanna read naruto fics

and everything that i come across is kinda fluffy and i feel like i want heartwrenching stuff which is not even plot heavy but just deals with the fallout of everything we saw in the series

I honestly feel like even the boruto canon (I haven't seen much of it) if seen right after naruto feels kinda fluffy because they have definitely dealt with the feelings or just moved forward in their ninja way idk

anyway the point of this rambling is I sometimes feel like they are all so broken that sometimes I wonder if they are just too broken to heal and I want a fic which is the healing but ofc there is SO MUCH ANGST because they are them. it can literally be any characters like team 7 (sasusaku in ship) is my top choice but even e.g. the sannin.

so any, say, sasusaku recs from the blanck period (but I want major naruto and kakashi presence as well because naruto and kakashi are major parts of sasuke and sakura's life) are more than welcome

Naruto Fanfiction | Life Without Kurama, Chapter 8

Sakura Haruno, Team 7's late bloomer in canon, is in the spotlight for this chapter's quote. My, how different her attitude seems to be toward her boys in this AU!

[ladymononoke]

I’m in desperate need of a whole masterpost of sasusaku war fics, I’m obsessed by this genre of fanfiction and sasusaku can fit it so well !!

[multifandom-fanfic-writer]

Banshō Ten'in - new chapter is up!

Sakura is back in Konoha – as Akatsuki's spy. What secrets will she discover in the shadow of the greatest of the Five Villages? Will her sense of self hold strong in the place that once destroyed it?

In the new chapter Sakura helps Kakashi with his grief (without any kind of ulterior motive... right?), we see what Jiraya has been up to, and Kisame takes the first step on his journey to become a shark sage.

SasuSaku One-Shot Recs

SasuSaku fics that don't get recommended enough, but you need to read at least once in your life.

(Bonus SaiIno One-shot series)

Ratings from G to E

returning home by stannide

Canon Divergence. Rated G

Upon discovering that she is pregnant, Sakura reevaluates her marriage. ("I don't want to tie you to this place.")

One of the best things about this fic is the glimpse we get into a certain friendship. It’s a very heartwarming fic, with a very surprising book as the inspiration. I love it so much, and I know anyone who’ll read it will too.

pink in the night by diwata @diwatafolk

Canon Compliant. Rated G

“It’s like acquiring a treasured friend and a time bomb all at once,” Sakura vents to Ino.

Ino laughs at her. “Treasured friend is a funny name for it,” she says, blowing her bangs out of her face. “The color is nicer,” Ino gives her professional opinion, “and you two are dating. Get over it.”

Sasuke and Sakura live segmented lives, but make a home anyway.

I love fics that reference real world customs and beliefs. They remind you of how beautiful and sincere the world really is, and that’s what this fic is beautiful and sincere.

Warm by CatFlorist @catflorist

Canon Divergence. Rated T

“You’re an Uchiha now,” he told her. Perhaps it was too blunt to say it this way, but it was true. Anyone who fire-jumped was an Uchiha. If he was the last, then he could shape his traditions, and choose who to do them with.

Once again, I love fics that reference real world traditions. It’s such a beautiful take on the beginning of forever, and wanting to share your beginnings with someone you want to keep forever.

These High School Days by devertigozation @devertigozation

Modern Setting. Rated T

Now, every once in a while they exchanged enough trivialities for Sakura to get a glimpse into Sasuke's high school life.

Middle school friends, Sasuke and Sakura, now go to different high schools. They ride the same train, though.

This fic will make you feel like you’re a third-party, and that’s what makes it great. You feel like you’re intruding, watching moments of a relationship when you’re not supposed to. You’re a passenger on the train. A passerby. Truly an experience encapsulated in a fanfic.

closure by hyperphonic @hyperphonic

Canon Divergence. Rated T

Sasuke teaches Sakura his clan’s flagship jutsu one misty autumn morning on the very same dock his father had taught him.

There’s only one line of dialogue in this fic, and that’s what makes it perfect. It’s the prefect fic if you want to dive into Sasuke’s thoughts and feelings. Sakura is the epitome of beauty in this, and Sasuke thinks so too.

glimpses II by bloodveinsgenes @bloodveinsgenes

Canon Divergence. Rated T

he knows how they feel about him being with her. he’s not blind - he sees the glances, the concerned look in hinata’s pale eyes, the hateful glare in ino’s blue ones - and sometimes he can’t help but think they’re right.

There is absolutely no dialogue in this fic and it’s amazing. It’s a great what if fic that has Sasuke thinking so what. It’s not “me and you against the world”. It’s “me against the odds of having you”.

the edge of my affection by blue-plums (arabesque05)

Canon Divergence. Rated T

naruto gets married with usual hyuuga sort of pageantry: village elders and foreign delegates and daimyo representatives all in attendance, until it becomes almost less about the wedding and more about state politics.

I love how Sasuke and Sakura are written in this fic. The teasing, the subtle jabs, the affection. It makes your heart flutter in a happy way.

in the stillness by whirlpoools

Canon Divergence. Rated M

What is grief, if not love persevering?

My heart broke during and after reading this fic. It’s such a sad look into love, and such a loving look into sadness. Absolutely a must-read.

your spellbound heart by blue-plums (arabesque05)

Modern Setting. Rated M

there is a new barista at the corner coffeeshop, who always smells faintly of smoke.

I could’ve added another tag to this, but it’s way better if you find out for yourself. The characterizations of Sasuke and Sakura are adorable. Their interactions make you so giddy. How the author turned this concept into tooth-rotting fluff amazes me every time.

Nightly Visit by pain_somnia @pain-somnia

Canon Divergence. Rated M

Hidden under soft sheets, having even softer discussion, a take on Sasuke visiting Sakura in the middle of the night.

The fic perfectly portrays what it feels like to be completely comfortable with your significant other, especially during moments of intimacy.

Vacation by silver_shot

Canon Divergence. Rated E

Sasuke turns to her fully, then on an impulse, pushes through the crowd until he reaches her exhausted state. The crew pay no mind to him any more, they all now cheer for the sake of it.

Her smiles gleams with her eyes, “enjoyed your vacation?” grins Sakura.

He chuckles, “is that what we're calling it?”

The plot is very entertaining. I would love to read more about this universe. In any case, Sakura is home to Sasuke in every possible way.

SaiIno

Just Kids series by foxiemoxie

Modern Setting. Ratings from T to M.

Set in the 90s in the West Village Art district, loosely inspired by Patti Smith's "Just Kids.”

What really drew me into this series was the setting. The little details in the story really ground the setting. The relationship in this is so realistic. You’ll be able to fully grasp the troubles being faced, and maybe even relate to them.

Just Kids

Modern Setting. Rated T

Although the two art students have been together for a while now, Sai can't help but wonder if he's doing something wrong.

Cosmos

Prequel to Just Kids. Rated T

Upper West Side Ino is on a date with one of Sakura’s friends—and she can’t quite make heads or tails of the rather mysterious Sai. But if it’s one thing Ino Yamanaka is, it’s persistent.

Sunrise

Sequel to Just Kids. Rated M

For the last two years, it had been Ino who had taken the lead, guiding the pair through the relationship.

Now, things are turned upside down due to Inoichi's death. Ino isn't used to these feelings, and Sai certainly is not used to how their relationship has suddenly changed, but the two must work through it, for better or for worse.

I wrote my comments on the fics differently from how I’ve done in the past. It’s probably because it’s been raining all day where I am. The weather’s making me feel sentimental (maybe even melancholic).

(I can’t find the tumblrs of authors stannide, whirlpoools, silver_shot, and foxiemoxie. I also can’t seem to tag the author blue-plums. I’ll update this when I do find the authors and tag blue-plums!)

[glitchy-anime-fan]

Does anyone have any “If Haku lived” fics they would recommend? I don’t care if its something like Haku and Zabuza lived, if only Haku survived, or even if it’s a found family style with team 7. I just need recs b/c I love Haku. He’s my son, his arc makes me sad, and I need fics that don’t make me sad anymore.

(I will also accept any other Naruto fics that people think are really good and would recommend 😉 preferably wholesome/SFW ones please!)
