The edge of the bed sank down beside him.

Her hand was gently rubbing on his chest.

He wanted her to touch him, intimately. To caress and squeeze and stroke but he knew she wouldn’t, not with him in this state. A breath later and the urge was gone as fast as it had come.

“Hey, don’t fall asleep yet I want you to sit up and drink some water for me.”

Sitting at the moment seemed a monumental task what with the way the room was slowly spinning. But for her he would accept any challenge, defeat all the Kage and the Ten-tailed beast by himself, take on any God or Goddess that dained to prevent her happiness. He blinked a few long blinks to refocus on her face before reaching out to cup her cheek. He felt like smiling.  

He was smiling. 

He was definitely smiling.  

How long had he been smiling? 

Probably since she’d joined him at the tavern. She was so beautiful by firelight. There hadn’t been any fire or candles there, but by the fire was one of the first places he’d really let himself take in her beauty. She was beautiful no matter the lighting. 

She was rubbing her hand across his chest again looking at him expectantly. Why was she looking at him like that? What did she want? 

“Sasuke." 

Oh, right, he was sitting up. 

He let his arm drop, closed his eyes, and took a couple deep breaths through his nose to help try to put the room flat again. Why was she asking this of him? It was hard. The more he tried to concentrate the faster the world seemed to spin. Sometimes she could still be annoying. It didn’t matter though, he would do his best. 

His arm had fallen across her lap and he concentrated on how warm she was. Really all he wanted was for her to be against him and drift off to sleep. He felt so sluggish, had to think about pulling his arm back to his side then find the energy then actually move. Sober he didn’t have think beforehand. In fact, often his body moved as a reaction before there was time to think. That was the main reason he rarely drank at all. The other was that as time had passed, and he’d been able to heal, he had found that he was more likely to experience nightmares again when he had consumed alcohol. 

Tonight was an anomaly, a culmination of a crappy two weeks in a village that barely tolerated his existence let alone his presence while Sakura worked at their short staffed hospital.  They had been meeting for dinner tonight after days of missing each other at their inn as they assisted the locals with recent storm and ensuing flood damage. Sakura had been running late but he had been expecting she would be and had ordered ahead for them. 

That’s when he’d overheard the men a table over talking in explicit detail about how they’d love to take some time one-on-one in the exam room to show Dr. Haruno their appreciation for all her help. For the first time he was certain the men weren’t trying to goad him and either didn’t know he was there or who he was. But at that point his already sour mood had gone over a cliff. He’d been missing her and pissed so at that moment he’d decided fuck it and poured himself a cup of sake. When Sakura had finally arrived he’d been two bottles past the one he’d ordered for her. 

Sakura knew him well enough to know that everything he did was for a reason. And now this annoying, wonderful, thoughtful woman would be up the rest of the night trying to work out what had triggered his highly inconsistent behavior tonight. 

The not totally absurd thought that she might somehow find herself at fault made sitting up the simplist thing in the world.

He reached out for her but was met with a smooth, cool substitute. The glass of water she pressed into his hand became an obstacle. He took two big gulps to drain it, determoned to assuage any insecurities she might have, but when his stomach churned tumultuously he slowed to sip the remainder of the glass.

When he was done she took the glass from his hand and he used the opportunity to wrap his hand around the back of her neck and press their foreheads together.

"I was being stupid." 

When she started to protest he shook his head, rubbing their foreheads against each other. 

"No, listen, please don’t worry. I was being stupid.” He said again. 

He hated when she worried about him. 

When he felt her nod against him he pushed forward enough to place a chaste kiss against her lips before giving in to gravity and lying back onto the mattress.

—————————————————– 

He didn’t have nightmares that night per se, all he remembered were bits and pieces of people and places he recognized along with a warm, damp presence he wrapped himself around as best he could.  

——————————————————-

There were birds chirping at the most irritating frequency in existence and somehow they happened to be right outside his window. 

This was certainly punishment for something. 

Sasuke groaned and rolled over as he pulled the covers up over his head. A moment later the covers were pulled back down and Sasuke groaned again. 

He moved toward the warmth beside him and pressed his face to her collar bone. The smell of her took the edge off the ache and he breathed deep. A moment later there were fingers running through his hair. 

so one of my faves right now is Sakura’s Secret by roraewrites. It is rated M and it is a student/teacher fic so I know it’s not everyone’s thing but it’s a fantastic fic.

some of these are old but most are complete

Celebrity Status by Einna FletcherRated M it’s a music industry AU with lots of dramaStatus: complete

Ignition by Einna FletcherRated M it’s a sort of opposite sides of the tracks kind of AUStatus: complete

Haunted by BlueKitsunebiRated M it’s a supernatural modern AU. the author chose to rewrite it but it’s a ghost story. Sasuke moves into a house with his family and strange events happened leading him to discover the ghost of a girl.Status: In Progress

Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop by Whispering-Willow-08Rated K+ it’s a two-shot and cute and it’s a coffee shop AU if the title didn’t give that awayStatus: complete

Kaleidoscopes by twilightdazzleRated M it’s the AU you go to when you want angst in a somewhat college AU setting (college AU cuz that’s the age range and they bring it up but they’re mostly partying)Status: complete

Never Tell Me The Odds by kuriquinn (an ao3 link)Rated T it’s a college AUStatus: In Progress

And here are some of my own Real Life/Modern AU fics:

Kingdom For TwoRated MSummary: Twenty feet. There’s only twenty feet between their houses. But some days it felt like they were in different continents. Childhood friends turned secret lovers. Real Life AU Warning: ShiItaIzu is a pairing in this ficStatus: In Progress

DifferentialRated M | college AU/childhood friends AU/ over all just they’re both a thirsting mess AUSummary: There was a push and pull, a push and pull, between the two of them. There was a safety in the “push” but something just kept “pulling” and pulling….and pulling..Status: In Progress

and I know you asked for multichap but i just made a modern au oneshot for ssm18 that has a second part due soon and possibly a third so…

There’s quite a few out there but not a lot of them are very Karin positive. But as soon as I read this ask I thought about Coming Home by jinnyskeans which if you haven’t read you should give it a go. It’s a oneshot and I love it because Karin and Sakura are friends in it.

It was written pre-canon but it’s kind of what I wish happened with Karin instead of shuffling her back with Orochimaru.

There’s a post-canon fic called All Shapes and Sizes by lavendersakurasasuke that is about how the friendship between Sakura and Karin comes to be as they bond before Sarada’s birth. In this fic they travel together to look for Sasuke.

a/n: college!au where team seven are on a road trip back to school and naruto forgets his best friends are in love (sasusaku, team 7 dynamics)

(one)

Naruto doesn’t remember falling asleep on the way to Sakura’s but Sasuke’s old Mazda screeches piercingly when it stops, probably waking up the entire street at this point without even using the horn. How many assholes do you need to wake up a single neighborhood? Just one Uchiha.

summary: distance was nothing compared to how far her heart could reach. she just had to remind him.  rating: t a/n: because why has no one done a long distance!sasusaku au before. also dedicated to the bae admin miso. previously posted on ffn here.

SasuSaku Month Day 23 Title: Brace Me Honey I Need Friction Prompt: New Dream Rating: M (children look away) Day’s Notes: @freshtoxinn wanted pregnancy smut and I ended up making some smuff for everyone; I know its late for day 23 please forgive me lol; yes the title is a lyric to a song…

Rainy days always made her chest feel heavy.

A sense of nostalgia would wash over her and she would ache for something she couldn’t recognize.

Drumming her fingers across her protruding stomach, Sakura hummed softly as she watched the rain fall and pitter-patter against the docks of the river village she and Sasuke were currently residing in.

The hut they made their home for the past couple of weeks was on the outskirts of the cluster of huts that were erected directly on top of the river. The fishing community traveled by small boats and the interconnected docks that made up their village.

Sasuke had said the rain would cease to fall in a couple more days and with it would come the fireflies the village was known for. It would be another beautiful sight she would want to bring her child back to see.

Her husband was so soft with her, taking her places he had visited and showing her a world untouched by shinobi.

Send me a prompt and a pairing, and I’ll write you a oneshot! :)

rating: T

Sakura can say all she wants that she has “absolutely no idea how this happened.”

She can swear left and right that “oh, it’s just because we’re in college!” and “stuff like this happens all the time at our age!”

She can blame her hormones all she wants, swear that it is an absolute mistake, claim that she really has no clue how this could have possibly occurred between them…

But she knows exactly how it happened.

It doesn’t involve a wild party, or copious amounts of alcohol. It doesn’t involve any crazy kinds of drugs, or sexy little outfits. It doesn’t involve vividly flirtatious statements, or come hither looks from across the room. It doesn’t involve rainy days underneath the trees, or “figuring out it was him all along.” 

No, it involves Sasuke, and Sakura, an empty dorm room, an incredible—almost impressive, really—lack of sleep, a test they probably should have studied for, and an expectation.
