Summary
Sasuke would let Sakura consume him, flesh and bones and tainted soul and all; one last, long kiss goodbye, until he’s but an errant thought at the back of her mind.
But he’s never been that, not for her. He’s a festering, infected wound, an incurable disease, and he would take her down with him, if he gave them that chance.

Summary
Sasuke only has a few moments to take in the child’s appearance – short, dark hair and darker eyes shining with unshed tears; ruddy cheeks on a round, pale face scrunched up and mouth open at the beginning of a wail – before the little girl jumps from Juugo’s arms and flings herself onto him, wrapping her short arms around his neck as she cries uncontrollably into the high collar of his shirt.
“Papa! I found you! Papa, why did you leave?”
In hindsight, Uchiha Sasuke should have known that his life was going to take yet another unprecedented and unexpected turn the moment a dark-haired child had appeared in his rented room and hung to his neck like a slowly tightening noose, calling him 'Papa' of all things...

Summary
Sasuke grapples with love and intimacy regarding his developing relationship with Sakura after returning to the village from his journey of redemption. Kind of a character study on Sasuke handling an intimate relationship after dealing with PTSD and survivor’s guilt in solitude for so long. Blank period, canon-compliant, Sasuke-centric, lots of fluff and pining, slowly becomes a smut fest with feelings.

Summary
Four years into the Fourth Shinobi War, Orochimaru offers to turn. He all but requests Sakura by name to be the contact. It is, quite clearly, a trap—least of all because he's supposed to be dead. But what is a losing side to do except take the hand that's offered?- Language:

Summary
“How are you doing?” Peter asked with a tired, self deprecating smile. His voice was still hoarse from all his shed tears.
“I’m okay,” Gamora said immediately, considering that her full and complete answer. She didn’t really have much more to say than that. But Peter’s face completely fell at her response.
“Really,” he said, but it wasn’t a question. More like a statement of doubt. An unimpressed one. He didn’t believe her.
When she saw the worry increase in his eyes and Peter’s clearly negative reaction (was he hurt? That he just opened up to her and cried in her arms but thought she wouldn’t tell him if she wasn’t doing okay?) Gamora realized she should have gone with a different answer.
Instead of that immediate response that was reserved for anyone asking her that question.
Because this wasn’t anyone.
This was Peter.

Summary
Gamora is not unhappy with her life, which is more than she has ever been able to say before. But she doesn't necessarily have everything she wants, either. There was something different about working with the Guardians; about working with Quill. A familiarity and a spark that had made it thrilling in a way she wouldn’t have thought possible. A feeling she would very much like to have again, dangerous as that might feel to admit.
Gamora is not bound by anyone or anything now. She does what she wants to do. Including, but not limited to, traveling to Earth on a whim to see Peter Quill.

Summary
Peter's got no roadmap, no established routine for how to make Gamora feel better after being murdered by her abusive “father” and resurrected after several days in some strange other realm.
That’s probably a good thing, though. This isn’t exactly the kind of thing he wants to have experience with.

Summary
"Why did you do this?" Gamora whispers, suddenly unable to speak her usual volume. "Why did you put your life on the line?"
Peter purses his lips, looking uncharacteristically small. "I mean, that's what friends do, right? They stick up for each other?"
Gamora shakes her head. "Friends do that when it's necessary. I had it under control. You know that I can protect myself. What you did was completely idiotic. Why did you do it?"
"I guess I just couldn't help myself," Peter says, a smile tugging at his lips. "You have that effect on me."
(or: five times Peter idiotically risks his life for Gamora, and the one time he... can't)

Summary
“Because they’re our song lyrics. Seriously, who else in space do you know that’s gonna be blasting the Pina Colada song all over galactic interspace? It’s like, the best homing beacon ever.”
In the wake of everything that happened with Thanos, Peter's down a team member, down five years, and down his heart. But he'll be fine, really. He's just gonna keep playing music for someone's who's not there to hear it, and eventually things will make sense again.
Or, Peter and Gamora have always been better at finding each other than themselves.
