-Oneshot, ch.440-centric- The man before him was the same man who had ruined his entire life. Naruto wanted to hate him, but couldn’t. He didn’t understand exactly why it had happened, but he understood desperation. And he did, somewhat, understand love.

He'd give anything for everything to be a lie. *Spoilers for chapter 400*

Sakura is still in love with the dead. And Sai? Sai doesn't even know what love is. Darkish fic about Sakura, Sai, and the ties that bind them.

Itachi knows who will understand.

The felix culpa, or blessed fall. An attack from the Kyuubi leaves Itachi blind, his mind shattered and memories gone. Meanwhile, Kakashi is still recovering from the aftermath of a mission gone badly wrong.

Gai remembered when he first became genin. He remembered the elation, the fear, the sheer determination: he would be strong, he would not fail, he would serve his village well. ::No pairing::

Remembrances and hopes and thoughts. And among all this, Naruto finds he needs a new set of clothes. :: Set during time skip, no pairing ::

A ten year old Maito Gai has finally achieved undeniable proof of his passionate spirit. Unfortunately, the one person that he wants to know is the hardest person to find. Rated for the bad words the Uchiha knows.

He keeps dreaming of a future gone to hell, but it’s irrational to think that his visions would actually happen, right? Or so Sasuke thinks… but there are too many coincidences that prevent him from dismissing his dreams as mere illusions. Timetravel.

She restrained herself out of the goodness of her heart, Sakura told herself. She was not going to beat Sai up just because the hapless boy had managed to insult her again despite her attempts at teaching him something remotely resembling social conduct.

Gaara's shield defense is automatic: he has never had to consciously think about ordering the sand where it is needed. Kankurou and Temari have always known this.

Itachi was not strong enough. In this respect, at least, he knows he is a failure. The Uchiha massacre goes differently. AU.

Kakashi keeps accepting Gai’s challenges because he likes to pretend that they still make a difference in the tally of their Eternal Rivalry. Because, really, he knows that he's already lost. Gai is too kind to bring up the worst challenge of them all.

Naruto doesn't show up for training one day so Kakashi decides to investigate. Team 7 fluff, oneshot. Non yaoi, no pairings.

Itachi One-shot "Why do you always ask, knowing I will never say 'yes'"

Naruto and Sasuke have enough to worry about right now even without the psychological mess their lives have become, but some things are so crucial that they come first even so. The search for a purpose. The rebuilding of a bond. And the rebirth of a team.

Everybody has secrets. DeiTobi. Manga spoilers.

He gave them courage even as he brought death down on himself. (Yondaime-fic, one-shot)

Don’t look. Don’t glance. Just glare at him. Ignore her. Stare at him. Pain follows your eyes, so just don’t…look at…her.

Ino. Shikamaru. And what was never meant to be. They were never meant to be together. She knew that unequivocally from the start. [Oneshot. ShikaIno, slight ShikaTema. Some Shippuuden spoilers. Read with caution.]

Naruto focuses on his last day as Hokage and the people who mean so much to him.

A brief look into the yearly rituals of Hyuuga Hinata, heir to the legacy of one of the most dysfunctional families in Konoha.

War has broken out between Leaf, Stone and Sound, and on the front line the two forces begin to wonder what they're fighting for. [AU Sound Five futurefic, with Genma and Raidou to boot].

Uchiha Mikoto reminisces before she dies. Further proof that all Uchiha are made of angst.

Rock Lee wonders what it's like to stand on the edge of Death's precipice. Tonight, he's going to find out.
