Summary
It appears that death was not on Sakura’s agenda after she finds herself alive despite what she had believed would be certain death.
Disillusioned with the world, her mind at war with itself, Sakura is back to square one.
Left grasping for reasons to live, she finds one: she will make sure Tobi dies, even if it is the last thing she does. And if the rest of the Akatsuki fall with him, all the better.
But the world doesn’t stop and wait for her. Day by day, whispers of war permeate every corner of society, threatening to drag her into the thick of it. And when a ghost from her past returns with the temptation of a family she never had, and when those who once abandoned her come seeking her aid, she is forced to decide.
What will she do when it becomes clear she must sacrifice her morals for a chance at happiness?
Should she close her heart completely and devote herself solely to revenge, or choose a side in a war where people she has grown to love stand on both fronts?

Summary
Sakura Malfoy is the princess of the Malfoy family. She is a headstrong young woman proud of her Malfoy lineage, not to mention a powerful witch. With her impending arranged marriage, she has a lot on her plate.
When the enigmatic Professor Hatake starts teaching in Hogwarts, she thinks he'll be just like her former Defence Against the Dark Arts professors; useless. Instead, he turns her world upside down, leaving her questioning everything about her life and her own morals.
Sakura never wanted to get stuck in a battle of wits, fighting a war of duty and desire. Least of all, she didn't want to be forced to choose between her family and her shifting beliefs.

Summary
Hatake Kakashi didn't have much to live for and he doubted attending the same school his dead father used to oversee would change that. He only enrolled in the Advanced Nurturing Highschool to find out what drove his father to commit suicide.
Meanwhile, Sakura, living in a society where the rich only got richer while the poor stayed poor, saw a once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve her dreams and pull her family out of poverty. When she opened the acceptance letter from the Advanced Nurturing Highschool, she knew she would do anything to graduate from the prestigious school.
Neither of them anticipated how much the school would change them and their lives, or how thin the line between rivalry, friendship, and love could be.

“Would you like to dance?”

Summary
Sakura would like to sit unobtrusively in her physics lecture, but another late and obnoxious student interferes.
KakaSaku Month 2021 | Day 1: College/Soulmates
Clearly he was a senior like herself, and he was even more clearly unperturbed by the hundreds of eyes resting on him. He peered about himself, as though he had all the time in the world to select a prime seat. Sakura scowled. You should know better by now.
As if he had heard her thoughts, his grey eyes locked onto where she was sitting in the middle of the center aisle. He began to amble over and Sakura felt panic shoot through her. No, she thought firmly, I do not want them to think I’m associated with you. Turn around. I mean it.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku meets Endeavour instead of All Might. Endeavour doesn't take kindly to Izuku's dreams, but he never said a quirkless person couldn't be a hero, rather attacked Midoriya's lack of resolve. With new determination, Midoriya begins to truly put his all into training to be the first quirkless hero!
Being rewritten, do not read. Although I guess you could call this the web novel version.

A Faceless Hobo Gave Me My Quirk by spark_the_fangirl

Summary
Izuku was born quirkless. To be fair the diagnosis was accurate at the time, it just didn’t stay that way for long,
Through a series of events involving a dying man high on drugs and Izuku’s ability to attract trouble, he finds himself in possession of a seriously overpowered quirk known as All for One. Perhaps it was some form of divine intervention that attempted to keep him quirkless because a quirked Izuku is a terrifying force indeed.
As Izuku attempts to master this new quirk, much to the distress of all those around him, the villain All for One is forced to come up with an excuse for why he’s now effectively quirkless in this utter mess of crack.
