Summary: Sakura knew why Tsunade didn’t want a virgin on this mission. Things might get out of hand. Acts might be carried out too far. She was glad Kakashi was accompanying her, but right then she wouldn’t have minded the entire population of Konoha.
Why: This story begins with the premise that in order to get close enough to carry out a mission involving a very dangerous man, Sakura must put herself in a very dangerous situation where rape is a real possibility. And because this isn't a fairy tale, things do happen, and there is some non-consensual content in here that I want to make sure everyone takes note of. If this is an issue for you, please take heed and stay away.
Now that you're properly warned...Although parts of this story are dark and it certainly deals with serious issues, that is not the entirety of the story. There is also a great deal of humor, and some really spectacular interactions between Sakura and Kakashi. (Sakura is 17 in this, by the way.) I wouldn't say I'm a fan of this pairing, but the author writes it so well that I don't even care. She also does a really great job of handling a myriad of other issues that would definitely come up if Kakashi and Sakura were to actually get together, including but not limited to their former status as teacher and student, Kakashi's intimacy issues (we all know he has them) and Sakura's own romantic notions. I feel like there really wasn't ever a dull moment. The pacing is wonderful, and the entire story captivated me. And even though I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'll be seeking out this pairing in the future, I think I'll definitely look at it a little less warily for having read this.
