Summary
Ino kicked at a pebble on the ground, her arms folded across her chest. “How long?”
Shikamaru sighed and pulled the cigarette away from his lips. “The war."
It was a lie somewhat. He’d liked her since they were kids but had simply ignored the budding crush expecting it to fade over time. It hadn’t and by the time the war came around, he accepted he would always carry it despite his increasing efforts to drop it. He’d tried drowning it in the river, burning it in a fire, covering it up with something else. But it was all to no avail. It stuck with him, always apart of him.
“Have you ever told anyone? Chouji? Her?”
"No."

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
Uchiha Shisui hadn’t stopped laughing since Itachi told him what happened.
The fact that his baby cousin hadn't been able to shut up about his pastel-colored teammate since the incident made it even funnier.
Despite the rumors that often circulated amongst Uchiha fanclubs in the Academy, it wasn’t a show of being delicate or needing protection that tended to earn the admiration and attraction of his fellow clan members.
It was a display of brute strength.
Poor little Sakura-chan had no idea what she’d just signed herself up for.
