#kankusaku

MORE BASEBALL AU here

kankuro and sakura are the team's physiotherapist and fitness trainer, respectively.

i had already decided their roles as physio&trainer but what i didn't intend for was them being an older married couple. it felt right to keep it that way so fuck it we (base)ball

kankuro has the disposition of a disappointed but concerned father, and the whole team is scared of sakura. she is like a drill sergeant in the gym and watches everyone's form and workouts like a hawk.

naruto has adopted them as his parents. sakura babies sasuke to knock him down a peg or two when he's being especially haughty. the team finds it funny but they have to hide their snickering or else sakura will eat them alive.

kankuro is responsible for recovery, massages, acupuncturing, etc. sakura, their workouts and food regimen, keeping careful track of their macros and such (she makes absolutely disgusting food but it's high in nutrition (the team dread her meal plans)).

Every once in a while I like to go back to my roots, ya know?

Kankuro and Sakura was one of my first ships, and Naruto was my first real fandom.

Pretty sure it’s the art for one of the future chapters of my fanfic (I really hope to translate it to Eng once I’m finished). Tsunade takes Sakura as Konoha’s brightest medic to one of the pre-war Sammits as all the Kages bring the best ones so all the medics will set some unified standards for emergency aid in the field and etc.

Kankuro has only a few minutes to see her personally. Sakura’s cheeks are slightly pink because of the weather, but Kankuro’s are slightly red from pure excitement to just see her. She’s passionate in telling him something about her medical routine and he’s just… He’s so so in love.

I mean just look at the way he looks at her. I’m crying.

Hi, Anon!!! What a lovely surprise to see this 🥹

After much deliberation—here are five of my favorite fics plus honorable mentions because anyone who knows me knows I hate deciding 😂

1. Red Ribbon of Fate—T, Shisaku, complete, “Shisui and Sakura's love story begins with a red ribbon.”

This one I had so much fun writing because it was just based off the silly idea that Shisui’s hair gets too long, and he holds his hair back from his eyes with a red ribbon. This idea was formed in the Sakura Haruno server, and it just was so sweet and I loved every second of it 🥰

2. Stealing His Shirt Has Never Felt So Good—E, KankuSaku, complete, “Sakura keeps her boyfriend's shirt before he leaves to train. Boyfriend comes back, she's a bit of a brat, and he punishes her with a ton of orgasms.”

I have no explanation for this fic except for the fact that I saw some amazing horny art of Kankuro, proceeded to obsess over said art and write this fic for 9 months, and well, yeah. Here we are 😂

3. Not Yet—E, KakaSaku complete, “Sakura appreciates Kakashi wanting to properly woo her, but they’re together. She’s tired of waiting. And now, she’s going to go get her man to fuck her.”

This was actually my first smut I wrote for KakaSaku, and I remember writing this and screaming as I wrote because it was so filthy. But it was a good time, and damn, I need to write more of them agains soon 👀

4. fantasies can come true—E, AsuIno, complete, “Ino successfully seduces her former teacher, and she may be in for more than she bargained for, not that she'd ever complain.”

I’d been telling myself forever that I’d write a fic for these two, and then I finally did it, and it was so fun! Definitely am going to write more for them, and also the other ships for Ino I recently realized were super fun 🥰

5. oh captain—E, ShiSaku, complete, “Sakura and Shisui avoid their duties aboard ship to have a little rendezvous below deck.”

This is one of my more recent ShiSaku fics i did for ShiSaku week in June this year, and I had so much fun with the prompt, because it was pirates and of course I had to make it sexy. I also just really loved every other prompt I did for the week (I did one for every day bc I am crazy), and I just love writing this pair so much 🥹🥰

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

hey cowboy with that look in your eyes—E, ShiSaku, WIP, sexy, smutty pirates which I’ve been brain rotting over for weeks
