Summary
No alarms. No surprises. That’s all Kawaki ever wanted.
But six years after the world rewrote itself again, he’s still haunted by the echo of choices no one remembers making. He remembered everything. The good, the bad, the in-between. It stuck to your ribs. That was the curse of surviving: you kept all of it.
Boruto, Sarada, Kawaki and what happens after. Alcohol doesn’t fix anything, but it makes truths come out softer.

The virtue of patience by redroseisthenewblack

Summary
Patience was not a burden but a choice; an act of defiance against those who believed love should be easy, convenient.
She picked up the needle again, her fingers steady as she pushed the thread through the fabric. Sasuke’s cloak needed reinforcement along the edges where wear and tear had frayed the seams. A familiar task, one she had done countless times before. Her hands knew the rhythm, the small, precise motions. It was a meditation of sorts, a quiet ritual.
Or Sakura mends her family's clothes and gets lost in her thoughts.

Summary
“Even if it burns through years of my life, I’ll trade time if it means keeping him alive. But if he’s not in danger, then there’s no reason to use it at all. That would be meaningless.”
A small, soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “It’s only meaningful if it’s for Sasuke-kun.”
Suigetsu scoffed, shaking his head. “That’s just utterly stupid.”
Sakura tilted her head to the side, as if she didn’t understand what he meant. “You think so?”
She said it with such innocence that it made the idiot Suigetsu looking uneasy. As if she hadn’t just declared her willingness to die for someone who hadn’t said a word in return.
Not even an hour into meeting her, and Karin was already convinced this cherry-blossom-haired girl was completely irrational, every word out of her mouth centered on Sasuke. The girl was clearly no idiot, she had awakened the Hundred Healings mark, a feat demanding years of unwavering discipline and precise chakra control. A fool couldn't do that.
But when it came to Sasuke...
...she was dangerously unhinged.

Summary
The flavor of coffee was bitter in his mouth, his hands felt too heavy, and his heart raced in his chest. Somehow, five years away trying to erase the gentle marks she left on his heart, Sasuke found himself across from her. “Sakura-”
“When you picture her, what does she look like?”
His eyes were squeezed shut, blocking out the sight of her messy pixie hair, her probing almond eyes. His lungs constricted, body fueled on nothing but espresso and insomnia. His fingers twitched, he knew what he should say, what societal expectations dictate he say after being with a different woman for three years. He opened a trembling mouth, intent on delivering the appropriate sentiment about a blonde with baby blue eyes.
But his brain was drowning in soft pink and radiation green that lanced through his defenses. That had always threatened the levee inside him. And without his permission, the damn broke, words flooding out of him like a natural disaster.
“She looks like you.”
He heard her breath catch, his eyes snapping open in time to witness her skin turn scarlet.
“Sasuke-”
A wet strangled noise escaped him, and before she could try to stop him, he was gone.

“Listen to me, Sakura, because I will not say this again,” he snarled, removing her hands from his face, “There is no scenario, no fucking universe, in which you call me, and I do not drop everything to come to you.”
