Summary
Yuri gave a lonely child a teddy bear once, then spent years avoiding what he became. After the Chunin Exams leave Suna vulnerable and Gaara improbably becomes Kazekage, her alchemy kekkei genkai and sealing expertise make her essential to the village's survival - which means working closely with the boy who never forgot her kindness. Rebuilding a desert village and navigating intelligence missions is complicated enough without confronting a shared past neither of them knows how to talk about.
[An OC-centric fic set in Sunagakure. MC specializes in alchemy kekkei genkai (pottery/ceramics) and sealing ninjutsu. Features intelligence squad missions, agricultural innovation, village politics, and slow burn Gaara/OC romance. OC is not a reincarnation or self-insert.]

Summary
Ringo Haruno can bring the dead back to life with a touch—but only once, and only briefly. When the Council discovers her kekkei genkai, they offer her three options: become a T&I asset, join active service, or marry Shimura Danzo in an arrangement that keeps her bloodline in Konoha while letting her raise her daughter in peace.
The Hokage insists on a six-month courtship. If they can't make it work, other arrangements will be made.
Danzo expects a meek widow desperate for security. Instead he finds a woman who survived the Daimyo's court, runs her own bakery, and refuses to be intimidated by his reputation.
Ringo expects a monster. She finds a man whose devotion to Konoha mirrors her devotion to Momoka—absolute, uncompromising, and perhaps worth understanding.

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.
