Fandom: Naruto
Pairings/Characters: Kakashi/Sakura (background Naruto/Sasuke)
Rating: R
Wordcount: ~13,000
Warnings: Sakura's 16 in this, so you can figure out the age gap yourself
Author: Larkspur
Website: dragonsnap on Ff.net
Summary: And now the wolf is at my door, and things are never going to be like before.
Why: Even though this story is Kakashi/Sakura, it's really all about Sakura as far as I'm concerned. It's a story about being a teenager and trying to find your boundaries and figure out your feelings. The author does a spectacular job of capturing all the awkwardness and confusion, in a way that makes this story definitely worth reading, even though it's been pretty much completely jossed by this point. In another time and place, you can't help but think that things could have gone like this.

I love your recs, and I can never find Naruto/Sasuke fic as it is, but I'm not sure about reading Kakashi/Sakura. So my questions are: do Naruto and Sasuke have a decent amount of fic time, and is it really that well written regardless?

Honestly, the focus of this story is really on Sakura and her trying to deal with the way her life is going. Naruto and Sasuke's relationship is mentioned in that context, but if I recall correctly, they don't get a lot of fic time. So, this may not be what you're looking for.

I do think that's it's really well done, though. Like I mentioned in my rec, it's been pretty thoroughly jossed by this point, but I still that it's an interesting take on how Sakura's character might have ended up, if things had ended differently. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a comfortable story, but it definitely made me think.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm always really glad to know that someone enjoys my recs. ^-^

Argh, I forgot to mention. I don't if it will be any help or not, but I do have a few Naruto/Sasuke fics that are on my to-rec list over on delicious. You can find them here. (http://delicious.com/Tani_Barton/unrecced+p%3Anaruto%2Fsasuke) I think they're probably all pretty well-known already, but there might be something you haven't seen yet, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Thanks for the info. I'll save the fic and keep it for when I feel like a well-written story. I will go check out your list now! Thanks!
