Summary
"Sai, did you just say you were in love with me?”
Sai nodded, looking at her confused. “Yes, Sakura. Would you like me to repeat it a third time?”

Summary
“Hokage-sama, you can always talk over any ANBU mission reports with the Commander.”
Kakashi waved dismissively. “Why do that when you’re right here?”
Yamato fought back a sigh. “Hokage-sama.”
Kakashi glanced at him and it was like he could see the look Yamato was giving him through the mask. He might as well have with how long they’d known each other. He shrugged, a cheeky smile on his lips. “Well, you don’t mind helping out your handsome Hokage, do you, Cat?”
Yamato rolled his eyes at him. “Of course not, Hokage-sama.”

Summary
Sometimes, Sakura wished her hands weren’t so rough, so calloused. She knew exactly how hard to grab something for it to break. How easy things were to shatter with a flick of her fingers. She wished the calculations didn’t run through her head every time she reached out for something, for someone.
Sakura was a medic, a healer. But people never understood the hardness of that either. She wasn’t the medic who soothed crying children who’d fallen and scrapped their knees. She was a battle medic, dragging a bloodied body across the ground and yelling at them to hold on for her. Her teeth cut gauze and her hands forced bones back into place. She healed people but it was through blood and tears, muffled screams and dilated eyes.
She wished she knew how to hold things lightly. There were some things she was terrified of breaking. Whether it be from an honest misstep or simply because she could.

Summary
Ino couldn’t say for certain whether she’d always had a crush on Sakura. If that had been the reason why their friendship ending when they were kids had hurt so much. If it was why over the years, she’d found she didn’t even like Sasuke as a friend.
She couldn’t say one way or the other.
But there was this moment.
And after it, Ino didn’t think she could ever be more in love with anyone else.

Summary
She thought about how tight her chest got when she’d see Ino when they were growing up. The burning sensation in her chest as they argued. How they threw jabs at each other all in the name of some boy, some stupid rivalry, while they both knew that wasn’t ever really it. The weight she’d felt drop to her stomach when Ino started walking around in crop tops and mesh covered thighs.
Sakura let out a groan and fell back against the rooftop, her eyes going to the moon above her helplessly like it could give her all the answers. It was silent and Sakura knew at least one thing.
She was such an idiot.

Summary
The angels have fallen, leaving Castiel graceless and Dean with, well, more of other people’s problems. When a string of couples goes missing on the east coast, Dean and Cas decide to investigate—and find themselves trapped and hunted on a couples’ counseling cruise. Although battling monsters at sea is dangerous enough, sorting through emotional baggage proves to be far more deadly. (And, in which Cas embarks to find his missing grace and Dean is put out. Not necessarily in that order.)

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

Summary
"It's only temporary, right?" Dean says. "Just until you're healed up, and then we'll never have to see each other again. So what do you say, Castiel, do you want to marry me or not?"

Summary
An eight-course meal: Eren makes cakes, pancakes, bread, soup, sauces, stews, and beautifully shaved ice. He fishes, shops, plans feasts, pulls roots, drinks vine, gets in fights, gets in the way, says “yes, sir,” “for you, sir” and ultimately falls in love—not necessarily in that order.
Then there’s Corporal Levi, along for the ride.
