Summary: Tsunade says, "The first thing you need to know is that not everything can be fixed."
Why: This could just as easily be titled, "Five Reasons Sakura Kicks Ass." The author does a gorgeous job of capturing Sakura in the years she's training with Tsunade. This is exactly the kind of Sakura fic that I want to read all the time. Beautiful.

Summary: The aftermath of their deaths: she starts living for the three of them.
Why: This is such a quietly sad story that I couldn't help but be affected by it. The author does a great job with creating the atmosphere of it, and I really loved the parallels that she draws between Kakashi and Sakura.
