    Summary

    A blessing and a curse it is, to love and be loved, yet live to be left behind

    Celine has spent so many years hiding from her two biggest regrets. Losing her band mates and trying (and failing) to raise Rumi all on her own. Filling her days with work, making sure the girls were ready to face the world, and more work. But now after making the biggest mistake of her life, she can't pretend anymore. Locked away on Jeju Island, languishing in self imposed isolation, Celine finds that it's not just her guilt and remorse haunting the sanctuary halls.

    In the dirt by the tree, something lurks, waiting to destroy the last of the Sunlight Sisters

    (the summary's shit I know, but give it a chance)

    Summary

    Post-canon. Celine is tired, and has been tired for a good long while. Someone(s) overhear.

    OR

     

    So basically I saw this mini comic by @CC_Tori and was like wow I really really need to write right this instant. This actually pulled me out of a yearlong writing slump so plethora of thanks to them. As I can't access Twitter, I'd highly appreciate it if someone informed them, because I don't wanna take credit for a genius idea that isn't mine.

    Summary

    A few months after the Adol Awards, a surprise solo hunt goes sideways as Celine is attacked by an unknown beast.

    She gets turned into a tiny black kitten, who is rescued by Rumi, Mira and Zoey, who then decide to care for her while they try to figure out how to change her back.

    Simple right?

    Well, it would be if Celine remembered who they were.

    Or who she was.

    Summary

    Sakura Haruno is eight years old when she realizes no one is coming to save her.

    Not her parents, who barely notice her existence. Not her teachers, who praise her test scores and ignore everything else. Not the universe, which didn't bother giving her a bloodline limit or natural talent or even a warm home to return to.

    So she saves herself. One morning run at a time. One training session. One page of careful notes. One friendship built on shared books and painted nails. One teacher who sees past her failures to the dedication underneath.

    By the time she graduates the Academy, Sakura Haruno has built herself into something her eight-year-old self wouldn't recognize: a swordswoman who understands angles and light, a genjutsu user who weaponizes perception, a girl who learned that strength isn't given—it's earned in pre-dawn darkness and aching muscles and the refusal to quit even when quitting would be kinder.

    A complete reimagining of Sakura Haruno: different personality, different specializations, different foundations. Civilian-born, no kekkei genkai, no prophecies. Just hard work, found family, and the long, difficult path from overlooked to undeniable.
