BEST OF #KAKASAKU

I’d rather be someone’s shot of whiskey than everyone’s cup of tea│Kakasaku

@bella11rules I saw your post asking for KS fic recs and I also saw that you’re not particularly a KS shipper but that there’s a chance you will be. Well, hey, I’m here to help make that happen. Come to the other side, we have cookies and great smut. 

I would definitely recommend you read House Calls first. I put the rating between (brackets) next to each fic, a summary and the word count. These are just my personal favourites. Sorry if someone already rec’d some of these.

Multi-chapter Fanfics

House Calls by Spoiled Sweet (M) || 262,803 - Always the Team Mom, Sakura opens up her home as a clinic for the hospital-phobic ninja of Konoha. At the same time, her relationship with Kakashi begins to evolve in a way she never expected. M for swearing and later content. [Complete]

Adaline by Nikki1212 (T) || 15,034 - I would choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I would find you and I would choose you. KakaSaku AU. [Ongoing]

Icha Icha Gambit by TheSilverScarecrow (M) || 108,659 - It was a risk; one that could potentially ruin their team, however, who was Hatake Kakashi to argue with the Hokage? But when a never to be finished Icha Icha draft falls into his possession things start getting wildly out of hand as Sakura does whatever it takes to protect their village from a devastating weapon. KakaSaku [Ongoing]

House of Crows by SilverShine (M) || 400,508 - KakaSaku. War is coming to Konoha and Sakura is far from home, uncertain of her future. But one thing is for sure, Sakura will protect her unborn child at all costs, whether it be from Konoha’s enemies… or from its own father. [Complete]

Roads Untraveled by Pariscores (T) || 17,042 - [“You weren’t supposed to die,” she uttered softly. “You said-promised…” Sakura’s voice cracked towards the end. ‘You promised you’d never leave me.’] KakaSaku Same Age AU. Kakashi and Sakura are put on the same Genin team with Naruto-sensei having to deal with their shenanigans. Featuring Duck-butt hair, Sasuke as the third wheel/member. *Drabble series* [Ongoing]

Stripped Bare by J-Pop Princess (M) || 295,128 - When Sakura wanted a change of pace, she hadn’t expected THIS! Now she’s on a mission with Kakashi, masquerading as a dancer at a club far away from home and she finds herself forced to explore her own powers of sexuality and seduction.

At Second Glance by uselessfork (M) || 26,188 - Sakura opens her door one morning to find an injured Kakashi staring back at her. After taking him in and healing him, she realises that this is not her Kakashi-sensei but his younger self, traveling from the past.

The Window by Silvershine (M) || 165,171 - Kakasaku Sakura always wanted to see Kakashi unmasked. This was a bit much though… [Complete]

As a last resort option, she attempts a crazy procedure to save him. Little did she know that by doing so, she caused ripples that will threaten to drown her. [KakaSaku] [Ongoing] <– yes, shamelessly promoting my own fic

One-Shots

Tear In My Heart by AlinaLotus (M) || 8,143 - His forgiveness is constant, and that’s what she hates the most.

I Found You Missing by Wolfy Tales (T) || 18,586 - 'They’re asking us because these soldiers have absolutely no one left to write home to,’ Sakura thought with a frown. So she signs up for the Shinobi Letter Exchange, not realizing how large the consequences would be. - AUish one-shot [KakaSaku]

In Another Life by CelestialCircumference (T) || 18,350 - Kakashi never believed in soul mates until that fateful day.

Arranged by Enodia (K+) || 3,998 - When something is arranged, it is planned, wished for, made sure of. The opposite of 'arrange’, you say? Usually it is 'disarrange’ or 'confuse’- but sometimes it’s 'coup de foudre’, a momentary madness, a heatwave of lust, a sudden burst of love. Kakasaku.

The Song Of Kakashi by ZatannaZatara06 (T) || 2,472 - If you want forever, you are going to have to suffer for it. For the KakaSaku Week 2016 Day 2 Theme: Fairy tales / Legends Myth: The story of Achilles and Patroclus. (The Illiad)

If odds are in your favor, the shock will wear off, you will start to recover from something you didn’t even see coming. You could still have a shot at surviving. She wanted to heal from her phobia. … And he was her only choice. [Kakashi/Sakura] [Angsty/Dysfunctional Sasuke/Sakura]

Etch by ephieshine (M) || 3,851 - A Kakashi character study, in which the words others say about you become etched into your skin. “Sensei. The word appears one morning and his heart jumps to his throat. It’s a girl’s writing, naïve and sweet, perfect strokes meticulously mastered, imprinted onto the back of his left hand.” Part I is Kakashi-centric; Parts II and III are Kakasaku. Threeshot.

Spring Rain and Winter Storms by SilverShine (M) ||  25,968 - [KakaSaku] Various short oneshots of varying length, theme, and rating. Enjoy! 

Apparent Sparks by Erika Hearken (M) || 417,515 - A series of one, two, and three shots based on my favorite pairing. These will be prompt inspired! The more prompts, the more chapters. Enjoy! Rated M though they will vary from K all the way to M. Thanks very much!

When an opportunity comes to pose as a nude model for a men’s magazine, she reluctantly takes it, but she didn’t expect the magnetic pull toward her photographer. Kaka/Saku

Home by ChissySweetz (T) || 4,383 - Kakashi who’s been missing for a year returns to find out that his little family grew by one. *one-shot* <– again, shamelessly promoting my work (I have no regrets)

I had promised some KakaSaku but this is totally not what I had in mind. Either way, i do hope ya’ll enjoy it!

He could not lose another person. It had taken so much to let anyone back in. Unknowingly, she had slipped through the walls he put up. It was pointless trying to push her out. She brought light into his heart, something that had been lacking for most his life. 

His lungs were screaming, yet he could not force air to reach them. Kakashi had been running for the last three hours, pushing it towards four. Just a little bit longer.

He had just returned from a simple mission and was briefing Tsunade when they got word that a certain Konoha shinobi had peaked the interest of a group of highly dangerous rogue nin, all listed in the Bingo book. Their plan was to abduct her, but who knows what sick, twisted plans they had in store for her. There was no way he was going to sit back and let them take her away from Konoha, from him. He was out of the door before Tsunade could finish her name.

Cosers are my friends (Team KakaSaku) 

Out of curiosity I decided I would check my own fanworks to see how old Sakura is when she’s depicted having sex with Kakashi:

I Think I Read About This Once In Icha Icha: “How was it that she was barely twenty years old and already felt like an old maid?”

Your Most Important Person: “And when you turned eighteen, you were in Suna, and since you’ve come back we’ve both been so busy…”

Walk of Shame: “We’ve been flirting like crazy for two years, had sexual tension for four years, been comrades for six years, and known each other for ten years, we’re finally about to do it and this is what you say to me?” (Sakura must be 22.)

To Give Is To Receive: Sukea:  “It’s been over ten years since I showed my face out here, so…” Sakura must be at least 23. (I actually mentally assumed her to be around 26 or 27 in this story, and for her and Kakashi to have gotten married when she was around 21.)

Open Up My Eager Eyes: Naruto to Sasuke: “You missed my wedding, bastard!” Sakura must be at least 20.

So much for my own work. Obviously, it’s totally possible to have KakaSaku in which both parties are above the age of 18.

Through the magic of fanfiction, it is also possible to have KakaSaku in which they’re the same age, or in which Sakura is Kakashi’s teacher, or in which time travel is involved.

And of course, the Shinobi world isn’t Japan. In Japan, this kind of thing is not legal:

Ah, remember when Anko told a bunch of thirteen year olds the rules permitted killing each other with no penalty? Remember how Gaara did kill some other teenagers with no penalty? Good times.

Moreover, in the manga, Shikamaru is shown smoking at age sixteen, which is definitely under the legal age in Japan, and nobody gives a shit, including when he’s smoking right in front of the Hokage.

Basically, absent any information in canon about what the age of consent is and how strictly it’s enforced (because a law that isn’t actually enforced might as well not exist), I honestly don’t have any problem with fic that depicts Sakura having a sexual relationship with Kakashi aged 16-17, even though I don’t write it myself. I mean, I enjoy Sense and Sensibility, in which 35-year-old Colonel Brandon falls in love with 16-year-old Marianne Dashwood. I have different standards for historical and fantasy works than for modern real life.

KakaSaku Valentine’s Day ♥️!
