    Summary

    “My fake date just cancelled. I’m supposed to be at my parents’ house for dinner in less than an hour. I can’t show up alone.”

    The young man blinks, processing, then looks down at his hands. He’s quiet for a moment, the faint hum of the car filling the silence between them. “You mean…” He trails off, eyes flicking toward Tobirama’s face, curious but wary. “You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?”

    “Yes”

     
    or...

     
    On the eve of a dreaded family holiday dinner, Tobirama’s carefully planned fake relationship collapses with a single text, leaving him minutes away from being pushed toward an arranged marriage he wants nothing to do with. Desperate and running out of options, he makes a reckless choice: he pulls over for a striking young man working the streets and offers him an outrageous sum to pose as his boyfriend for the Christmas holidays.

    Summary

    Sequel to And Never Back Again.
    Just like the trees of her forest had turned into the woods of Dunland, the forests of Ithilien became the trees of the Shire. But not just the land had changed. A rune was carved into the door of Bag End and inside, was a pacing, youthful, Bilbo Baggins. Whatever dangers were ahead, she'd face them for the chance to return to Gondor, and to Aragorn.

    Summary

    It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.

    Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.

    (or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)

    Summary

    Physically, there was nothing special about her birth. If her brain– and the number of souls inside– had been similarly unremarkable, then she would have lived a relatively decent, if short, life. Instead Yamanaka Sakura, born 23K, finds herself positioned to do so much more.

    Politics, innovation, lots of canon divergence. Initially focuses on the main character as she comes to know the world and place in it, then expands to Konoha as a whole.

    Slow progression. Also posted on fanfiction.net. Weekly updates.
