Sakura fic recs: captured on a mission/mission gone wrong

Okay, I'm going to be completely honest with y'all, I'm really just recommending stuff by my favorite tropes lmao. Quite honestly, mission gone wrong just makes things so much more entertaining. Poor Sakura though, this girl just can't catch a damn break.

Now, I should point out that there are MANY Sakura fics out there were the mission goes wrong, but in this list I am only going to put ones where that is the primary focus of the series.

Last Updated: 2024.07.25

note: feel free to check out my master list which has a bunch of Sakura Haruno fic recs (all organized)!

----

Survival of the fittest - cywscross || ao3 || T || shikasaku || mission gone wrong || one shot

Sakura is thirteen, still a Genin, lost in the middle of Earth Country, lugging an unconscious Chuunin around, and so far beyond scared that she’s moved right on to pissed off.

Survival of the Fittest is a fabulous one-shot that follows the trouble that Sakura and Shikamaru find themselves in after accidentally landing themselves in Iwa. This story depicts the characters truthfully and fully conveys exactly how hopeless they feel in their situation. I highly recommend.

.

The Ocean is Deep and Dark - Pleasedial123 || ao3 || M || captured || complete

Gato doesn't trust Zabuza to get the job done. Instead he sends a team of thugs to ambush the Bridge Builder on his return to Wave. Team Seven, exhausted from their fight and Kakashi still unconscious, is separated. Sakura gets captured.Terrible things happen to pretty girls in the hands of men like Gato and his thugs.But Zabuza puts his claim in first and suddenly Sakura isn't the prisoner of a civillian businessman and his hired muscle. Suddenly she's Momichi Zabuza's.

I won't lie, I have a soft spot for fics that take place during the land of waves arc, especially when they focus on Sakura's growth. I love how Zabuza was portrayed in this as although he wasn't necessarily a bad guy, he wasn't a good one either. He simply has morals. Sakura's fear in this is also quite raw and eye opening as it covers a theme that isn't ever covered in the original series. The reality is, the world is not kind to women, and a captured young female ninja is most certainly going to be at some untasteful risks. Oh, team 7's concern was also pretty touching ngl.

.

With Every Beat - halfdemonfan || ffn || sasusaku || M || canon divergent || incomplete

Pain can come in various forms. Sakura had suffered all of them; but with the war raging on she found the torture would continue.

If I'm completely honest, With Every Beat probably isn't the best rec for this trope since from what I remember Sakura is not captured for too long. I never did get very far reading this so I don't have too much to say, but it takes place during the war arc and is an interesting take.

.

Ripples - Yellow Mask || ffn || sasusaku || T || captured || complete

Following a botched mission, Sakura is made a slave by Sound, a position that could very well alter the future…especially concerning a certain familiar missing-nin.

Ripples is probably one of the og mission gone wrong/captured Sakura fics, as far as I am aware, but it's pretty good! On her way back from a mission, she manages to get captured and is taken to Orochimaru's hideout. Super interesting to see as Sasuke is still with the sanin at this time.

.

The Pack Survives - ihopethelightwillshineupon || ao3 || team 7 || mission gone wrong || complete

When a simple C-rank mission turns into a straight-up nightmare, the members of Team Seven narrowly escape with their lives. They end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, each of them injured and forced to rely on one another for help.They’ve only been a team for a couple of weeks, still distant from one another, still trying hard to prove themselves. But when they’re all hurt and struggling desperately to survive, they have no choice but to lower their walls.Stranded far away from the village, Team Seven fights to get back home safely – but with help impossibly far away, with their food supplies shrinking and with their injuries slowing them down, their journey becomes more difficult with every step.In the wake of their struggle, though, their bonds grow steadily stronger.

Sakura is not the main character in this one as it it more focused on team 7 as a whole, but she still has some great development! Essentially, in typical team 7 fashion, they find themselves in a bit of a pickle during a mission and it results in some great bonding between them.

.

An Inch of Gold - KuriQuinn || ffn || sasusaku || T || mission gone wrong - time travel AU || complete

Team 7 is sent on a mission to investigate a disturbance outside of the village, where they encounter an unconscious girl in a crater. The mysterious Sarada insists she's a shinobi from the Hidden Leaf trying to rescue her teammates. When the team discovers she possesses a Sharingan, things become even more unbelievable. [Part of the Legacy of Fire Series]

Somehow, the Boruto and Naruto timelines interconnect and Sarada literally falls into team 7's mission. Things only get worse from there. The writing captures the personalities of the characters so well and I'm a complete sucker for the whole Sarada meets Sakura and Sasuke trope!! Sasusaku is super cute in this (while being realistic) and I love how Kakashi is such a shipper. Also, this is a multiple perspective fic.

.

Dirt and Ashes, or: The One-and-a-Half Body Problem - Tozette || captured || gen || M || canon divergent || complete

The invasion of Konoha during the chuunin exam didn't fail. Team seven is broken, people are dead, and Sakura is hurt and frightened and a very long way from home.Alternative summary: In which Sakura carries half of Hidan across two countries, leaving a trail of blood, bodies, and other people's legs.

This one is pretty gross tbh, but I highly recommend!

.

Only a Crush by Gingersoup || ao3 || kakasaku || M || canon divergent || complete

It was supposed to be an easy, fun night out. She never intended to wake up in her sensei's bed, half-naked and with no memory of what happened the night before! As she tries to unravel the mystery of that night, something sinister is growing beyond the walls of the Leaf Village... and what was only a crush spirals wildly out of control.

I can't really say much without spoiling, but Sakura is unwillingly thrust into the world of illegal drugs, trafficking, and sex all while coming to terms with her new feelings regarding her former sensei. I typically don't like kakasaku, but I think this work is done tastefully well. The characters are both adults and the immorality of the relationship is not ignored, so be prepared for a lot of "we can't," "this is wrong," etc.. Anyway, Sakura is an absolute powerhouse and I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between all of the different characters and villages!

.

Got Nothing to Prove (but I'ma show you how I do) - GuardianMars || ao3 || gen || T || mission gone wrong || incomplete

Civilians and orphans are always used as cannon fodder. Sakura’s not sure where she first came by this phrase. Whether she heard it or read it, she can’t quite remember, but it stuck in her head and it stays in the back of her mind whenever Team 7 takes a mission. When Sakura and Tenten get placed on a temporary team looking into a series of kidnappings of local village girls, Sakura is naturally worried. She doesn't want to be cannon fodder. When the mission goes to pot, Sakura and Tenten find themselves far away from home and with only each other to rely on. As it turns out being cannon fodder is the least of their worries.

Genin Sakura and TenTen are sent on a mission due to their unimpressive lineage and things go wrong. This is a bit of a mystery where details of the mission are uncovered as the series progresses and is seen from the prospective of both the girls and their sensei's who are desperately trying to bring them back.

.

The Storm Beneath - CrimsonEden || ao3 || gen || T || mission gone wrong || one-shot complete

Sakura skidded to a halt. “Sensei?” she choked out, voice raw and painful. Kakashi made no reply. His eyes stared desperately up at her, as if he thought that she was going to disappear if he looked away. One of his hands reached out slowly, like he wanted to touch her face, to check to see did she was really there. His eyes were glazed over and his chest was heaving from the force of his heavy breaths. She stood there frozen, unsure of what to say or do. How could things have gone so wrong? . . . . . A simple mission goes horribly wrong, and Team-7 finds themselves stuck in the wilderness injured and facing Kakashi’s past demons. POV Kakashi and Sakura.

Team 7's mission gone wrong not just lands them in a complete disaster physically and politically, but also uncovers some of Kakashi's trauma. Really well written and focuses a lot on the team bonding, primarily Sakura and Kakashi, which I love.

.

Team Seven and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Roadtrip -Transformatron || ao3 || gen || T || captured || incomplete

No chakra. No allies. Captured by an unknown enemy a thousand miles from home, Team Seven must work together if they want to survive - which, if you ask Sakura, puts their life expectancy at approximately one week. If she’s feeling generous.

Team 7 is captured and the enemy is trying to get information out of them by any means possible. Follow them as they try to escape.

.

final exams coming up! - waterpllar || ao3 || gen || M || captured || complete

Kakuzu can name numerous reasons why Hatake Kakashi could make him an excellent profit, most of which involve the numerous organizations he's sabotaged. Specific figures would certainly be willing to pay very well for free reign to relieve their violent frustrations on one of the most notorious jounin in the Bingo books. Such a business would only function with a healer on hand, but it just so happens that a vast majority of shinobi teams have a healer, and there is a pink-haired genin without a bloodline limit or bijuu on the team. What he did not anticipate is that the Copy-nin's teaching might be so remiss that he hadn't trained said genin in any iryo-ninjutsu whatsoever. Kakuzu does not like making oversights, and he decides to remedy this fact immediately (unluckily for sakura).

Kakuzu captured Sakura and Kakashi in an attempt to make money (of course) off of Kakashi's many enemies and Sakura is forced to learn medical ninjutsu in order to keep him alive. Although this is marked as complete and could be considered that to those who read it, the ending is not very conclusive tbh (I wanted more).

Edit: ok this actually just got updated even though it’s marked as complete, so ig it’s still ongoing?? Maybe???

.

New Day Dawning - IncompleteSentanc (Erava) || ao3 || narusaku || T || captured || complete

One day, while visiting the grave of Nohara Rin, Obito stumbles across a young girl terrifyingly like her. He decides to ensure she doesn’t meet the same fate. As for Sakura? Sakura had no idea what she was awakening the day she went to visit her parents graves - but she never looked back. One way or another.(Feat. Sakura raised by Obito and the Akatsuki, and her eventual return to Konoha and all those she left behind)

Sakura is brainwashed and manipulated, but loved by notorious killers nonetheless. Incredibly well written and I won't lie when I say that the ending took me a bit by surprise.

.

Your childhood home is just powder-white bones (and you'll never find your way back) - Dovey || ao3 || gen || M || captured || complete

Sasuke is not the only one who worries he's getting too comfortable in his genin life. Itachi decides to add another motivator to Sasuke's revenge plans by kidnapping the teammate who wasn't a charismatic Jinchuriki. Sakura is used to being an objective for those around her, not a person, but even for her this is a little much. In which Sakura is held captive and learns what a genjutsu specialist can do to a person's mind, that sharks can actually make great friends, joins a dying clan, and gets regifted multiple times before she's finally strong enough to fight back. *while this fic contains explicit and graphic torture, there's no sexual assault.

Okay, this was actually a really hard read for me. We truly see Sakura's decline in this as she slowly loses her mind and it is very frustrating to see what has happened to her. Nonetheless, it is extremely well written and great is you want something dark.

.

Freedom in the Eyes of Another - Oroburos69 || ffn || gen || M || captured || complete

The Wave Mission was a failure. They got caught, captured, taken-it didn't end well. Now Sakura has a half-heard order, uncut fingernails, and more desperation than bravery. One way or another, she's getting Team Seven out today. Complete.

I actually can't believe that I forgot to add this the first time I wrote this list! Anyway, team 7 is captured on the mission to Wave and Sakura takes Kakashi's mumble and runs with it! Pretty interesting as we get some nice team bonding and there are some other popular character appearances too.

----

Like always, please send me recs if you have any!

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: Hatake Kakashi is a man who never wanted a genin team in the first place. And he certainly wasn’t prepared to actually care about the brats. Unfortunately for him, his brats are hilarious and kind and amazing. And they’re so small, and they’re alone and they need support. Which makes it really hard to truly dislike them as much as he expected he would. Or: 5 times Kakashi shows that he actually genuinely cares about his kids, and 1 time his students show that they care about him a lot, too.

NaruSasu/SasuNaru, but they are smol (genin and younger)　Part II

you might be right by Aminias Sasuke is just saying "Hn." when he speaks, but not to Naruto. - It is short and sweet. Naruto can speak Uchiha. Their rival's dynamic is still there, and our boys develop a precious relationship in the academy. I had to check more than 100 fics in my sns folder to find this fic. I wanted this one in Part I, but I couldn't find it until now. Please check it out; it is so good. NaruSasu/SasuNaru | Academy days | Short and Sweet (722)

Attention! The fics below are without NaruSasu/SasuNaru pairing, no pairings at all. This Naruto fanfiction is just about genin and younger.

Adoption by Defenestration; or, A Family Can Be A Fox Demon, Its Jinchuuriki, and Three Dozen Highly-Trained Assassins by elumish He will not be the ANBU who let the jinchuuriki plummet to his death out a fourth story window. Let that be another ANBU’s legacy. - It is an adorable story about small SMART Naruto, shown in Anbu's attention. There is no interaction between Naruto and Sasuke in this fic. Just adorable Naruto. <3 Small Smart Naruto | Anbu are good adoptive parents | Protect Yamato with all costs (4,895)

The Pack Survives by ihopethelightwillshineupon When a simple C-rank mission turns into a straight-up nightmare, the members of Team Seven narrowly escape with their lives.

They finally become a family for each other in the end. I read it mainly for Kakashi's POV.  Kakashi-centric | Multiple POV | so much angst (97,696)

[asirensrage]

6, 8, 13, 14, 21 and 27 for the writing wrapped!

Sure! Thanks for asking!

6. Favourite line of dialogue this year?

hmmm... I really love this line from The Sacrifice (my unpublished Demon Slayer fic).

“Are you kidding? Look at yourself. You’ve been asleep for weeks! You lost an eye! You got lucky that I showed up and got involved! If I hadn’t caused enough of a distraction, you would have died!”  "Then I should have died! As I was meant to!"  The sound she lets out is somewhere between a scoff and a huff of laughter. "Wow. You have no idea, do you? Do you know how many people have thanked me for being there, for helping, all because it ensured that you lived? People I've never met before have thanked me. Your brother begged me to watch over you as you recover and you think you should have died? Out of everything I've heard about you, Rengoku-san, no one has said that you're selfish. I guess they are wrong.”

8. Did you find yourself repeating a word or phrase in your writing this year? If so, what was it?

I repeat myself a lot, to be honest. @vixenofcourse could probably tell you better because I don't remember.

13. Who was your favourite character to write for?

ALL OF THEM! I can't pick just one.

14. Did you have a song on repeat while writing this year?

I have playlists for all my fics that I usually listen to on repeat when I'm writing that fic. Otherwise, sometimes it's specific songs. It all depends on what I'm writing and the mood, so it's nothing on repeat all year.

21. Were there any ideas you wanted to work on this year but you didn’t?

No, because I don’t limit myself and my muse wanders off regularly, (as we all know). If I want to write something, I just write it. I will leave it and come back to it later, which is why I have so many WIPs.

27. What was your favourite fic to read this year?

Hmm... I have so many. Here are some that I've reread multiple times this year.

no one is what they were before by ohmytheon The world broke when Gojo Satoru turned on jujutsu society. It's not the hopeful place it was before, but Utahime has never been one to give up. Until she's placed in a dangerous position directly in his path, and she finds herself trapped in a web that doesn't seem intent on ever letting her go.

Echoes by YanderexBabydoll There’s a sadness that hangs thick and heavy in the air around you. Grief and pain etched into the very foundations of this house. But you’re broken, too – hollowed out with emotions still too raw to touch. Maybe that's why you were drawn to it.

(Tokyo Revengers. Sano Siblings x Reader. involves ghosts)

surrender (whenever you're ready) by OfMermaids (@ofmermaidstories) You first meet Ground Zero when he’s thrown, unceremoniously, through the glass window of your florist shop. (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader, Pro-Hero AU; in which Bakugou cannot stand flowers but finds himself coming back, anyway)

Plunders of war by MaryaMorevna "You for Shouto's life." Ivory-haired villain continued, his tone saturated with wicked delight. "I'll let him live, promise-" he made the obscene gesture of crossing his heart and laughed again. "What do you mean me?" my voice was barely above a whisper, afraid of its own sound. "You..." he stood up straight, as tall as Shouto. "Willing," -first step, "Pliant," -another step, "Wanton-" Dabi closed the distance, his rough hand lifting my chin up. "-In my bed." ... Villains win the war AU. Very dark so be warned.

The Pack Survives by ihopethelightwillshineupon When a simple C-rank mission turns into a straight-up nightmare, the members of Team Seven narrowly escape with their lives. They end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, each of them injured and forced to rely on one another for help.

fingerprints by andypantsx3 (@andypantsx3) When you’re outed as pro hero Shouto’s soulmate on national television, there are really only two sensible things for you to do: blame someone else and run. (Deceiving the Duke and in cinders by andypantsx3 are also on the list of ones I've reread. They're so much fun, omg. But I'm trying not to expand this list too much lol) you can tell where my mind has been this year...

and, of course, any fics that are tagged under my "fic recs" tag.

Thanks again!

For AthenianWriter

I remember reading one with the whole Kakashi training Sasuke's Sharingan with a guitar thing, it's called "And So, The Sensei Supports His Students" by "ihopethelightwillshineupon" and its Chapter Two "The Guitars" were Kakashi trains Sasuke with the guitar. If that's not the fic your looking for then I cant be of anymore help.

[dai-nana-han-agenda]

HIIIII!! I really realllly love reading your tags on your retweets! It's one of my favorite things to see while scrolling down my TL. I was wondering if you have any of your fave TEAM 7 gen fics you could recommend? 💖💕 preferably no ships and just something that focuses on their dynamic and growing solidarity with each other!

HELLO! thank you so much omfg 💖 i’m so so sorry it took me so long to respond, i had the answer all drafted out and ready to go and then my dumb ass CLOSED THE TAB and i lost everything 😭 i had to rewrite the post which took a while FJDFSJ but it’s here now!! i really hope these are fics you haven’t seen/read before (omfg could you imagine if you’ve read every fic on this list i’d feel so bad 😭) but yeah!! i hope this helps!! 💖

(also side note, your icon is SO cute, i always see it in my notifs but i never got the chance to tell you until now LOLOL)

MULTI-CHAPTER

komorebi by tomorrowsrain ─ okay, i know you said preferably no ships (we’re already off to a rocky start FDJFKSJ) but this is literally my favorite team 7 fic ever, it’s impossible for me not to include it. it’s kakaobi, and team 7 doesn’t come in until ch. 3 of the first part, but i highly HIGHLY recommend it. seriously, this is my absolute favorite characterization of the members of team 7 & their dynamic, the author does such a good job of building their relationship from teammates to family. i will say the first chapter is a little disorienting (it’s in first person POV, which i usually tend to avoid when it comes to fanfiction, but the author does it so well and it does shift straight back to third person POV for the rest of the chapters). the author is currently writing the chuunin exams arc and it’s literally everything i wanted. 

tides by edenfalling ─ omg, this was one of the first team 7 fics i ever read waaay back on ff.net when i was like, 12 years old. unlike most of the fics on this list, this is set in shippuden, but it’s very much AU/canon-divergent. good character dynamics with team 7 learning how to work together again<3

how to make a team by Pleasedial123 ─ basically, kakashi gets his head out of his ass and actually invests time into strengthening the bonds between the members of team 7. don’t get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE canon!kakashi & i know he did his best (he was traumatized + not ready to be a teacher, i get it)... plus, if he was a good teacher in canon, there literally wouldn’t have been a plot. basically this is me saying fuck kishimoto because LOOK at what we could’ve had!! 

and so, the sensei supports his students by ihopethelightwillshineupon ─ this is really more kakashi-centric and it focuses more on his relationship with each of his students than on the dynamic between naruto, sasuke, and sakura (but kakashi is technically part of team 7 so it still counts!!)

ONE-SHOTS

for warmth by magnificentbirb ─ a scene i wish we would’ve gotten in canon.... like you’re telling me there are literally HOURS of filler episodes and we couldn’t get ONE soft, genin team 7 moment?? kishimoto & studio pierrot, you’ll be hearing from my lawyers. 

believing in heroes by guycecil ─ another moment i wish we got in canon because like... can we talk about how, in their genin days, these kids are 12 years old. are you fucking kidding me. also, now that i’m skimming over the fic, this may be more sakura-centric than team 7 centric, but i’d still highly recommend!

the pretty one by theformerone ─ it’s tagged as ot3, but i promise there are no ships! like maaaybe if you squint? but i honestly read it as platonic. one of my favorite fics ever tbh. answers the question that i’ve been thinking about since the manga was released all those years ago: what could have happened if kakashi was too late?

take the fight from the kid by theformerone ─ someone tell me why these 12 year old kids aren’t allowed to process anything on screen.... like, right after the wave arc, everything just went back to normal. like okay, yes, naruto had that moment to grieve for zabuza + haku, but i really just wanted to see a shift in the team 7 dynamics and we never really got it. so take this beautifully written fic instead!! god bless fanfiction. 

pray my name by Chancy_Lurking ─ ok so this is a fic that i found today and i’m OBSESSED. i do want to warn you, since you asked for no ships: it’s not tagged as ot3, but it could be if you squint. or, you could argue that team 7 is just very affectionate/very codependent. either way, right after i finished reading it, all i wanted to do was curl up in my bed and cry (but like, in a good way). 

just killing time by edenfalling ─ a very short but cute little one-shot that i also just found today! same author as tides, so if you read that first and you like their work, you should check this one out! (or vice versa)

did you inherit a sickness? did you blame god? by hotgirl ─ i literally recommend this fic to anyone and everyone because like?? it doesn’t exactly match what you’re looking for but it does have team 7 moments (heads up: it’s implied sns). this is honestly one of the best sasuke characterizations i’ve ever read. 10/10 would recommend.

of bruised brains and dog baths by sweetpotatopie ─ okay so these last three fics might not be exactly what you’re looking for but i’m adding them if/when you’re in the mood for cute, feel-good team 7 one-shots. this one is just a happy, post-canon piece where they actually get along<3

another day in paradise by ohthelinsanity ─ modern au where sakura and naruto bully sasuke, sakura and sasuke bully naruto, and kakashi is weird as shit. the friendship between naruto/sasuke/sakura that i wish i got in canon. hints of past itasaku and implied inosaku, but it’s very much a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.

gotta see! finally know! kakashi-sensei’s true face! by Lolistar92 ─ my FAVORITE face reveal fic EVER. episode 101 from naruto is the only filler that deserves rights (and maybe the curry arc because i love team gai, the ramen episode, and all the episodes with konoha 11. but mostly ep 101.)

You reblogged my post about recs for bnha. I'm not sure what you're into, but would you happen to have any good Protective Present Mic and/or Protective Eraserhead fic recs? Can be protective for each other, they're friends, or over one of the students. Thanks! -bnhastanning (only do this if you want to tho!! You reblogged it so I just assumed)

Honestly, I reblogged hoping for this but expecting nothing lol. So thanks!

Anyway, protective Mic and/or Eraser...

The first one the comes to mind, if you don’t mind EraserMic, is Nartothelar’s Mafia AU. An obvious rec.

A soft, cute one is With Our Paws And Claws, by  WalkingOnClouds444. In this one, both Aizawa and Izuku are transformed into their spirit animals, and Aizawa’s protective instincts over the cub are really cute.

Complicated Creation, by Elemental, is a huge rec I want to give. Dadzawa and protective Aizawa, joined by a bit of protective Mic, over Midoriya. Big in protective Aizawa, once he starts believing our local green bean. There’s also EraserMic and adopted Shinsou, though they’re not the focus and can be ignored.

Then there’s Who said the only green thing about him was his hair? by TheLegendaryGoblin. Protective Aizawa, but mostly there’s protective Mic. It’s Izuku-centric for the most part, but Mic also plays a big role.

Canary, by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters, has dadmic and protective present Mic, with Izuku. Also a big rec.

The Stray Cat and the Loud Kid by ihopethelightwillshineupon is another cute one. Cute in the sense that I loved their banter here. It’s teen Aizawa&Mic firendship, where Aizawa got hurt fihting a villain and went to Mic for first-aid. Protective Mic in the sense that he patches Aizawa up, I guess.

Bleeding Heart and Trust Issues, by galaxylagoon, is a one-short about Mic finding Todoroki sad about his brother’s death. Mic realizes Todoroki doesn’t have many reasons to trust adults. It’s both cute and a bit heartbreaking.

Aaand that’s all I have. Hope I helped you find something you’ll enjoy reading!

A small edit, because I can't believe I forgot about this wonderful DadMic & sonzuku series: Bridges and Hope, by WizardsGirl. Beware for attempted suicide and mentions of depression.

Hi, Annie! (I think your name is Annie from some of your hashtags. I hope it's OK if I call you Annie? Sorry if it's not!)

I have just had the biggest scare with my 13-week-old puppy. She ate grapes! Or, well, one and a half. But she's very young and very small - and grapes are highly toxic to dogs and can cause fatal kidney failure. I called my out-of-hours vet (since it's midnight here) and he was very helpful and understanding which I really appreciate. He told me to monitor her, since she only had a small amount of grapes and inducing sickness in such a young puppy could be worse, and to call him back at 9am (so I'm wondering if I should even bother to sleep since I don't tend to get to sleep until 4 or 5am anymore?).

I really need to calm down since I panicked so hard. Can you recommend anything that I could read or watch to distract myself?

Thank you so much! I love your blog and your stories - and I still really appreciate you recommending my fic on Spotlight Sunday even though it's not your type of story. Thank you for your time. I hope you are doing well and that you stay safe!

Sen. x

you can call me annie! or any variation of my online names. whatever you prefer. most people do these days!

sorry to hear about your pup. i know about grapes so i hope things turn out alright.

Aizawa Shouta Fic List: Hairdos w/1-A

Surprises - MikeWritesThings  [21.1k]

Moving into the dorms, the students get to witness a side of their teacher they didn’t even know had existed--a side much softer, and, dare they say, human, than any of them had ever expected to see.

(Or, 5 things class 1-A never expected from Aizawa, and 1 thing he never expected from them.)

1-A’s After-School Adventures with Aizawa - ihopethelightwillshineupon  [11.8k]

Every afternoon, UA’s students have a few hours of free time. It’s meant for homework, studying, club activities. They’re allowed to train, too, or relax around the dorms. Basically anything a kid could ever want.

Still (unfortunately), not all 1-A students use their time for its intended purpose. They decide to butt into their poor homeroom teacher’s free time instead. By pestering him into taking better care of himself, or coming to him with problems that a teacher really shouldn’t have to solve.

This stuff wasn’t in the job description. But the homeroom teacher finds that he honestly doesn’t mind as much as he pretends to.

Or: 5 times Aizawa realizes that he really loves his kids, and one time those kids show that they really love him back.

Do Re Mi Fa-so Fuckin Done - AnUnreliableWriter  [6.1k]

Where living with a bunch of teenagers is not healthy for Hizashi’s heart

Or 5 times Class 1-A unknowingly helped Hizashi realise his feelings +1 They notice what they did.

One Sleepover, Makeovers, and Hair-Dos! - superfandomqueen  [1.4k]

Class 1-A girls have a sleepover and drag Aizawa into it.

A compilation of all the fanfictions I’ve found where Aizawa’s students do his hair!

There’s also @kibstar‘s fanart where I-A’s female students did his hair, and is, according to the author, the inspiration for “One Sleepover, Makeovers, and Hair-Dos!”!

Bitch, I’m Incognito by Rin_Did_It

Status: In Progress

Ships: Todoroki/Midoriya, Shinso/Kaminari, Aizawa/Yamada, Dabi/Hawks,

Rated: M (there’s (according to my memory) a singular smut scene in the entire thing. I can’t think of anything else that would give it an M but that’s what it’s rated soooo)

Word Count: 194K

Summary: “When a villain blew up Midoriya Izuku’s apartment complex at the age of nine, everyone believed Endeavor when he said the boy was dead. Except he wasn’t.

With two best friends at his side, and six years of vigilantism under his belt, he decides they’re going to Yuuei. As vigilantes. This is going to be fun.”

Very nice Vigilante Midoriya. We also have Vigilante Hatsume and Vigilante Shinso which I adore. They make a fabulous team. Some brilliant plays from Hatsume and a sibling bond between the three of them make for hilarious banter.

Oh, Baby! by RussianSunflower3

Status: Dead (Probably)

Rated: T

Word Count: 103K

Summary: “Whilst out on a supply run for the dorms, Midoriya bumps into a small child. The child accidentally uses his quirk in surprise, and Midoriya is infected by a virus. It only lasts 24 hours, and can only infect one person at a time, although it is contagious.

But what exactly is the virus?

Well…

It regresses their age.”

In which the class becomes babies one by one. Kinda adorable. Sad that it’s unfinished. If I’m remembering correctly, there’s some serious angst that pops up, and the fact that its a dead fic does not help with that. I still love it though.

You know that thing where an orchestra swaps instruments, and like, some of them get it right away, but others have no clue what they’re doing? This is that but with quirks, two unwilling participants, and also Emotions by Sif

Status: Complete

Rated: T

Word Count: 13K

Summary: “Momo wasn't sure why it came as such a shock to her and her classmates that nitroglycerin was not, in fact, easy to control. The chemical was defined by it's instability, it's ability to go off under near any circumstances, it's powerful blows.

And yet, Katsuki had always made it look so simple. He soared through the air like it was nothing, switching between bullet-sized blasts and missile levels of firepower like most people switched channels on TV. Momo had found herself jealous of his quirk at times, unable to help wondering what it would be like to have such power at her fingertips.

Good news, she didn't have to wonder anymore. Bad news, it was absolutely terrible.”

I LOVE THIS ONE. Serious insight into Bakugo’s quirk. And Momo content. Which is almost always a win. It’s a one shot, but does have a home in a series called Nitroglycerin’s Parables.

Boku No Toddler Academia by Todobaku-Shoukat

Status: Complete

Rated: G

Word Count: 37K

Summary: “Fuck, Bakugou thinks as he runs to class. He is terribly late. He throws open the doors, expecting to see his classmates sparring. What he sees instead are crying toddlers and a very stressed looking All Might.”

Bakugo is essentially a mother to too many children. Very sweet. Features a much softer Bakugo who somehow knows how to parent. The villains are here too and they are also pretty adorable as children.

Katsuki and Izuku’s Excellent Adventure(s) by pepperfield

Status: Complete

Ships: Bakugo/Kirishima, Midoriya/Everyone

Rated: T

Word Count: 13K

Summary: ““Karaoke, Kacchan.” Deku slams his palms on the table, fire in his eyes. “I need a rematch.”

“Abso-fucking-lutely not.”

With his boyfriend out of town and the crime rate up, Bakugou hasn't been having a great week. Deku does his best to make things worse.”

A short series of shenanigans that Katsuki and Izuku get into while being pro heros. Bakugo just barely tolerates Midoriya.

Fifty Shades of Tired by ihopethelightwillshineupon

Status: Complete

Rated: T

Word Count: 10K

Summary: “The 1-A dorms hold a bunch of insomniacs. Many of these kids spend their nights in the common room, wide awake.

Some of those nights are quiet, boring, and annoying. Most nights… aren’t.

Mostly because UA’s teachers are idiots. And because they tend to waltz into the 1-A dorms in the dead of night with problems they don’t want to admit they have.

These are five completely normal nights in 1-A’s common room.

Or: 4 times the UA teachers need help from their students, and 1 time it’s actually the other way around.”

Adorable. The teachers are a mess. As they should be. With what they have to put up with.

Five Kittens and an Uphill Battle by tricklesnitz

Status: Complete

Ships: Aizawa/Yamada

Rated: G

Word Count: 9K

Summary: ““Honestly, I’d have to write up everyone involved with this,” Aizawa continues. “But…” He pauses, eyeing the bed. “Does that bed warm up, or is that Todoroki’s job? How old are they? How will you feed them if Kouda can’t find the mother? Do you have kitten formula if they aren’t weaned?”

AKA: Class 1-A finds kittens, and caring for them becomes a class projects.”

It’s SO CUTE. They got so attached to the babies and Baku was actually kinda nice. So that’s nice.

Puppet Master by KrumbleKitty

Status: In Progress

Rated: N/A (I’d probably rate it T or just slightly higher)

Word Count: 361K

Summary: “Quirks. Superpowers that most anyone holds nowadays. Quirks can range from anything from running a millisecond faster to the strength to change the weather with just one punch from the wind pressure it generates. Quirks are everything. Quirks define who you are. Every child is elated to discover their quirk and find out who they truly are. This happens around the ripe age of four years old. Some are natural-born heroes. Others are perfect for other occupations such as baking or being an artist. With such a high hope for the future that a quirk brings, one would think they would be happy to discover theirs and reveal just how useful they can be.

But…

What happens when your quirk dictates you as nothing more than a doll to be used by others?

Izuku Midoriya found out four-years-old that not all people are created equally.

He found out when he drew the short end of the stick of luck and ended up with a quirk worse than quirklessness.

He's dealt with it long enough.

Now it's time for Izuku to take hold of his own strings and stop letting others control his life. He won't be a doll forever.”

I absolutely adore this fic. The ACI are hilarious together (you’ll understand if you read it). The beginning is rough. Because abuse is a thing. And then it gets better. And then it gets so much worse so quickly. We’re on the road to recovery right now (77 chapters in) but still kinda painful.
