Summary
When Sakura notices a predator circling her team during the Chunin Exams, she doesn't realize she's caught the attention of Hoshigaki Kisame or that their chance encounters will evolve into secret meetings compromising them both. By the time Konoha discovers her forbidden relationship with an Akatsuki member, Kisame has already made his choice: defect, betray everything, and burn down his entire world just to give her a chance at freedom.

Summary
“Rules aren't the same for everyone”
That’s the first painful lesson Sakura learns well into her first year in the Academy. Nothing to do with chakra or jutsus. No. Her first lesson is a bitter taste of reality.
The second one comes sooner than later, and while it doesn't catch her by surprise this time, it's not any less painful.
"Those who come from clans will never see civilians as equals"
Sakura is young and full of dreams but not stupid. She knows exactly what her place is in the food chain: At the very bottom, along with everyone like her. Clan shinobi are meant to stay on top and be the best, while the "common" shinobi become tools at best and sacrifices at worst. She's reminded of it everyday...until she gets tired of it.
Until Sakura decides she won't be more canon fodder for the village. And the only way to achieve that is by being too valuable to die.
With her wits and charm as her only weapons, Sakura is resolved to become a great kunoichi and shut everyone's mouths in the process.
Because as a simple civilian born girl surrounded by elite, the only way to survive is creating her own legacy.

Summary
Did he love her? In a way, yes. But it wasn't an innately human sort of love. It wasn't introspective and complicated. He simply wanted her all to himself, and to spend the rest of his life entwined with her body, committing every note of her scent to memory.

Summary
Shisui was talking with the Yondaime about his latest mission when he felt the pull. His sharingan, his special Mangekyou was active. He blinked twice and managed to suppress it, but not before he'd caught Minato's attention and that of the nearby ANBU guard. As the pull got harder, and chakra began to be funneled to his eyes again, he tapped a foot and shifted his stance. The Yondaime noticed it carefully.
“You seem restless.”
“There’s little known about my version of the Mangekyou,” he stated truthfully, picking his words carefully. “And right now, mine is telling me someone’s dying. I think.”
Minato steepled his fingers and rested his chin on them. There was silence for a period of five seconds before he spoke after careful consideration of the situation at hand.
"Hound,” he instructed, not breaking eye contact with Shisui, “accompany Uchiha Shisui to wherever he needs to go.”

Summary
Pink.
The first thing Shisui thought when he saw her was one simple word; "Pink."
Pink hair was not common. In fact, the young Uchiha had never seen a single person with such a mesmerizing hair color. Sure, there was Uzumaki crimson, Yamanaka yellow and even the unique Hatake silver, but nothing came close to what the little girl, not even as tall as his elbows he'd bet, was sporting on her head while trying to hide herself on top of a tree.

Summary
Sakura knows her crush on Senju Tobirama is both hopeless and inappropriate--he's the legendary Nidaime, recently resurrected, and she's just... her. The fact that he keeps feeding her and making her laugh is irrelevant. Someone like him--brilliant, powerful, unfairly attractive--would never look twice at his grandniece's apprentice.
Tobirama strongly disagrees with this assessment.

Summary
When the sheriff's sister ends up in a wheelchair for the duration of summer, Stiles' dreams of three months full of pack bonding, late-night video games and bro-time with Scott come crashing down. He's temporarily relocated to Redford, a three hour drive away, and he can already tell he won't be getting many visitors.
Sure the pack will forget about him while he's gone, Stiles is determined to make the most of his summer of isolation, training his body and mind - and his magic - so he can come back with a bang, and maybe catch a certain Sourwolf's eye.
Then Derek shows up at his window one night with a flimsy excuse about needing research done. Suddenly, his summer away is looking a whole lot more interesting.

Summary
Kaylee had never seen Professor Stilinski in jeans before. He always wore a crisp suit to class—which everyone agreed was a little overdressed, though nobody actually complained because he looked really, really good in it—and his face looked way different without his thick-rimmed glasses. Was he wearing contacts or something?
That wasn’t the point. The point was that hardass Professor Stilinski was wearing a graphic tee with plaid and hanging all over Professor Hale, who was most definitely married, and Kaylee had never been more confused in her entire life.
--
In which Professor Stilinski and Stiles are such different people that nobody makes the connection.

Summary
Stiles could not be in love with him. It was just lust, wasn’t it? Stupid, teenage—
Derek growled, clenching his eyes shut.
Lust wouldn’t survive years. Not even with someone as stubborn and hyperfixated as Stiles. So what if he was in love? The very thought of it sparked elation inside Derek’s chest. He stifled it in an instant. His throat closed up, his chest burned.
Even if Stiles was in love… he would never need Derek the way Derek needed him.
Derek’s love was a scary, monstrous thing. It loomed over him, a beast of its own mind, heavy and thick. He couldn’t let it hit Stiles. It would flatten that human into nothing.
