Summary
In Konoha, where shinobi power rules, Sumire carves out something softer with her cozy tea shop, the Sheathed Blade. It's barely surviving, leaving her exhausted from endless hours, low profits, and the pain of a breakup with a jonin who saw her tea passion as a waste of time.
Her best friend Aya suggests creating the legendary Will of Fire Blend, which turns into an "S-Rank mission" to save the shop. But hunting rare leaves turns deadly, pulling them into a mysterious forest anomaly guarded by eerie, otherworldly threats that even top-ranked ninja must confront.
As Sumire faces those creepy dangers, her ex's judgment, and Aya's complicated romance with another shinobi, one man keeps coming back: Kakashi Hatake. That signature silver hair, the mysterious mask hiding half his face, and that single sharp eye watching her with quiet intensity. His attention is completely impossible to ignore.
Because the question isn’t just why the forest is watching them anymore. It’s why Kakashi is watching her.
Completed! ⭐

Naruto is married. Sasuke is back.
And whatever they left unfinished five years ago is about to bleed all over the present.

Summary
Gaara was curious. Far too curious.
The desire to know what was happening next door gnawed at him, even though the thought itself filled him with discomfort. He knew he should turn away, yet his mind refused to let go.
It felt similar to when Shikaku took over. Confusion clouding his judgment.
“Hmph— Sasuke…”
“I said to be quiet!”
Gaara couldn’t stop himself. Slowly, he formed an eye from his sand.
Was he really about to do this?
The hesitation lasted only a moment. Before he could change his mind, Gaara sent the sand eye through the vent and into the room beside him.
He covered his own eye, focusing his attention on the one that watched his dear friend and the raven-haired man.
Naruto’s back was against a beige wall, pants pulled down to the middle of his thighs. Sasuke was on his knees, mouth wide.
In that mouth was Naruto’s—
Gaara’s mind went blank.
Why was he—?! -

Summary
“I’m full of surprises.” Naruto said solemnly.
“Mmm. I can see you are.” Sasuke’s lashes lowered, and when they rose, his eyes were on Naruto’s hands. “Like the way you’re keeping your scent to yourself. That’s… unusual.”
Naruto tamped his pheromones a notch lower, reflex more than thought, a warm cinnamon hum contained to his own skin. “You get crowded enough,” he said. “I figured I could be the person who doesn’t crowd you.”
Sasuke didn’t answer immediately. The air shifted, he let the barest thread of his own pheromones slip. Naruto felt the recognition hum along his nerves and, more than anything, was pleased he knew the difference between notice and push.
“What happens,” Sasuke asked, quieter, “if I want you to?
Naruto blinked. “To… crowd you?”
“To stop pretending you’re not an alpha.”
“Then I stop pretending.” Naruto said, just as simply.

Note: modern AU. Main focus is Naruto/Sasuke, but Itachi/Gaara are a present secondary couple, so a few chapters center on them too.

Summary
Sasuke dies and Naruto falls apart.
He keeps living like there’s somewhere else they might still meet.
Eventually, there is.
Just not in the same world.
A hurt/comfort mature story packed with angst (lots of it!), romance, fluff, plot twists, and some sexual content in later chapters.
