Prompt: In Another World
Fandom: Naruto (Anastasia AU)
Pairing: SasuSaku
Rating: T
Summary: Orochimaru has overtaken Konoha and killed off the entire royal family, or so he thought. Years later, rumors whispered throughout the country claim that the two Uchiha princes somehow escaped the massacre. Sakura is ready to brush the gossip off as just that, but when a young man who is being chased by Oto shinobi and fits the description of one of the princes collapses on her, she’s tempted to believe Naruto’s prodding and help the stranger be reunited with his family. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the stranger also happens to be her ticket to a better life.Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of characters. I am making no profit off of this and am only writing it for my entertainment. The same goes for the story Anastasia.
A/N: I’m a couple days late for this prompt, but it’s gotten a lot bigger than I expected—like turned into a multi-chapter fic big. And I promised myself I wouldn’t let myself do a multi-chapter so soon after coming back to writing fanfiction, but the idea wouldn’t leave me alone. I’ve been listening to the Broadway soundtrack of Anastasia and can’t get the idea of Sasuke as Anastasia and Sakura as Dimitri out of my head: Thus my Anastasia inspired AU was born. And just to make it clear, it is an Anastasia inspired AU so it’s inspired by both the movie and the musical, and it will follow the formula, but it isn’t going to be a complete copy of either the movie or the musical with just names being swapped out. I’m taking some liberties and adapting it to the characters and telling it in my own way. That said, I hope you enjoy the first chapter!
Since Anastasia has the alias of Anya, I had to come up with one for Sasuke and chose Hiei since Kishimoto said Sasuke was inspired by a character named Hiei.
Unbeta-ed.
Chapter 1
The Land of Fire was but a shadow of what it had been a mere decade ago. Sakura had only been a child when the Otogakure regime had taken over. There wasn’t much she remembered from before, but the night the Uchiha Monarchy was executed was seared in her mind. She remembered taking shelter in an abandoned shop and praying that no one would find her. People were reckless and there were many who had joined in the violence simply for the sake of violence. The gunshots, the clang of metal against metal and the stench of smoke had permeated the air the entire night. The small had even stuck around for days after. It was the night everything had changed.
Life on the streets had never been easy, but the new regime didn’t make it any easier. Their new ruler claimed that everything would be equal under his rule, but everyone just seemed poorer instead. The ambitious and unhappy were dealt a swift and harsh punishment, and anyone who so much as stepped out of line risked disappearing. As she grew, Sakura learned to circumvent the Sound shinobi posted around the city. She had tried being a good and loyal Otogakure citizen, but devotion to the state didn’t fill her stomach. She had to resort to stealing and bartering for whatever she needed to stay alive.
Back to Back
SASUSAKU month ( 2017 ) … “war torn”
He’d rather have her tucked away safe in the medic tents than in the middle of the battlefield and even though she can fight, she knows there are lives waiting to be saved. So when Sasuke tells her to go, she does.
Day 18 – Comfortable Silence
Resting on his wife’s lap, Sasuke feels like sleeping.
Lying on his side, Sakura’s thighs, smooth and cool pillow nicely his head. Her hand is like a feather, gentle and light, brushing his hair and scratching his scalp—his spine shudders and his ears twitch; he’s basking in the exquisite sensations.
Her arms are completely bare, he feels no bracelets hanging on her wrists. Her hands have a nice and clean smell, like antiseptic but the scent is so faint Sasuke can barely perceive it since he’s so used to it; first from his past days in Orochimaru’s lair, then from the time he’s spent in the hospital after the war. However, he has since long grown to appreciate it, having associated the smell with his wife.
Her fingers untangle his black hair, tucking loose locks behind his ear before he feels her nails gently and slowly grazing his scalp. Sasuke knows she knows the way she moves her fingers on his scalp makes him tingle; she can feel the smallest tremors that run through his body and he’s quite certain she’s smiling above him, amused by the way his body reacts to her. With her other hand, the fluffy puff of the mimikaki goes swoosh and whoosh around his ear.
As far as he can remember, Sakura’s touch has always been therapeutic to him. It’s a gentle touch, tender and warm. He feels calmer, more serene.
(As a matter of fact, he sleeps best when he has his arm draped over her, her hand covering his or when Sakura cuddles him from behind with her hand inside his shirt, as though she’s checking his body temperature.
But, if Sasuke’s honest, he knows she does this to feel his muscles.)
When she touches him, Sasuke feels like he’s lying on the grass on a spring day.
It’s soothing.
Sure, there are times when they are feverish and passionate—and they happen more often than Sasuke will ever admit—but these quiet moments are the ones Sasuke relishes in the most. Words are silent and eyes don’t meet but it’s intimate and very, very peaceful. It’s in the way she touches him, when she grazes lightly over the helix of his ear with her nails, when she tucks his hair behind his ear because she doesn’t want loose strands to get in the way of her ear cleaning. It’s in the way she moves the mimikaki, drawing lazy circles around his ear with the white puff, and then picking on his ear with the other end.
It’s a nice feeling indeed—to feel cherished.

Day 17: War TornA sequel to the prompt of Day 9: On Opposites Sides. I kind of really like the Sasuke Hokage/Sasuke achieves his revolution AU. This is for: @behindheremeraldeyes, @fangirl-life-forever, @uchihaharunoss. Glad you enjoyed the first part.
Everything changed after the war, Sakura did too. Sometimes
Sasuke missed the Sakura who’d confessed her love for him that first time, but
most times he couldn’t help but admire the Sakura who for a second time professed
her love. That was the one thing he didn’t lose in the war.Things would have been much simpler if he had.
Orochimaru had advised him time and time again to make an
example out of her as he had done with so many others. This is a dangerous game you’re playing, Sasuke. On some days that
was particularly true.On that day she was strong, her green eyes burning with rage
and betrayal. “The moment you drop your guard I’ll have your head.” It was a
bluff in that precise moment, but a threat, something to bear in mind for the
future. She currently couldn’t do much behind bars.She was in his arms,
the bars of the cell between them as a barrier protecting them from each other.
She didn’t struggle against him and when his lips met with hers they were
bruising, he had to be. On days she was strong he had to be strong too.“Hard to do that from behind bars.” He replied between
kisses, he would let her go free right then if she’d just said the right words,
even if she didn’t mean them.She bit her lip, hard enough to draw blood and broke away
from the kiss, her lips spreading in a mocking smile. “You’ll let me go, you
always do.” He hated the certainty in her voice.

Flirting with Death
2. That Day
She was only nine or ten when it happened.
She was wandering through the woods after a heavy rain, and had stopped to watch the swollen creek rush under the old stone bridge.
She’d been warned like all of the children were warned (or twice as much, by her reckoning, because she was a visitor and apparently couldn’t be expected to keep such warnings in her head) the rainy season brought the rapids, and she dutifully promised to stay away from them. She contented herself with letting her mind wander, coaxed by the calm of the woods and the white noise of the creek.
She didn’t know what made her look up – maybe she had heard something – but when she did, she spotted the boy on the other bank.
He was dressed in dark clothing and leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, just watching her.
She frowned at him and called out in challenge.
“Well? What are you looking at?”
He blinked once or twice before looking around.
“What’s the matter?” she crossed her arms. “Too rude to answer?”
His stand-offish air melted into incredulity.
“You can… see me?”
“Of course I can see you,” she scoffed. “You aren’t that far away.“

SasuSaku Month – Day 10: Photograph || [Fanfic] A Christmas Song for Lovers
Title: A Christmas Song for Lovers
Rating: K/G
Notes: Real Life got in the way of my writing again… Oh, well… Writing about Christmas in the middle of July has been one of the weirdest things I’ve ever done XD
The places depicted in the story are real (except for the restaurant). However, the descriptions might not be accurate since I had to depend heavily on photos, descriptions and Google Maps, so please, be lenient with that, especially if you’re Japanese or have been there.
Tokyo Midtown is in the centre of Tokyo’s Roppongi district.The complex includes apartments, offices, shops, restaurants, museums, park space and a luxury hotel. The Starlight Garden is a space-inspired Christmas illumination in the park behind the main tower.
Sorry for the delay and, as always, if you find something strange, please, tell me ^^ I hope you enjoy it 🙂

A CHRISTMAS SONG FOR LOVERS
A soft relieved murmur filled the room where the board of directors and the presidents of the different branch companies of the Uchiha Corporation were having a meeting. According to the numbers, at least the fall had been stopped. Their hard work, the endless meetings, the negotiations and the contracts signed with the investment companies, had given the market confidence in their recovery and for the first time in weeks, their stock had been steady for a few days in a row. They still had to be cautious, and there was still much to do, though, but at least, they could breathe slowly and deeply since the crisis had started. However, it was decided by the majority not to do an official statement neither to the media nor the employees until they had more consistent figures. They did not want to spread the news before the right moment.
The meeting ended some time later, after new projects to start their overcome after the New Year were proposed and approved, and Sasuke, his brother and his father came out of the room with the satisfaction of a well-done work. It had been extremely difficult, but they had achieved their objective.
