Title: Dulce et Decorum...
Rating/Warning: T for violence, war, language
Summary: Three years after the war has ended, Team Gai tries to pick up the pieces and move on. [AU]

[Chapter 1]
"You could say that," he said gently. Keiko's fierce eyes, Ichirou's crooked smile, Ryuu's brow stitched together in concentration; his team, his family, his everything. Only now, years after Gai-sensei had passed away, years after his own genin team had scattered to the four winds of the earth, did Lee understand what Gai-sensei had given each and every one of his students

[Chapter 7]
Everything she had bargained for was gone in a single stroke of misfortune. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy, the Academy had instructed but Tenten had forgotten. She had miscalculated, hadn't taken the enemy seriously, hadn't taken into account Murphy's law. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, she thought bitterly. And it had.

Title: The Blessed Realm
Author: senior-witch/susanna (me)
Rating: M / R - from age sixteen
Genre: Romance, humor
wordcount 300k and growing

Summary: When Danzou becomes Hokage of Konoha Naruto has to leave the village. Sasuke, on the other hand, is forced by his team to find some legendary Blessed Realm. Both parties meet in a town that is familiar to us, but rather strange to our young ninjas, who suddenly find themselves confronted with modern world politics and modern world morality.

Warning: The story is extremely long, so here's some advice: The first half contains the romance, the second half (from chapter "not all powerful") is more about politics. Of course both are not clearly separated, as this is still one story, not two...

Word Count: 4336
Notes/Warnings: COMPLETE

Summary: The shinobi world starts to settle down again and reach for new equilibrium, and our heroes all get on with their lives.

"What's so surprising?" Jiraiya asked, brows arched. "You're the student of my student. That makes you my grand-student, so it's part of my job to look out for you." While Kakashi was blinking at this line of logic, he rubbed his chin. "Hmm. You're also Sasuke's teacher, so you're my teacher-in-law also. Two significant bonds! I don't see what you're startled by."

Genre: Action, Drama
Rating: R for violence
Pairing/Characters: Danzou, Hinata, Kakashi, Madara, Naruto, Nine-tails, Sai, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Tsunade
Word Count: 13401

Summary: Madara attacks Konoha with the aid of Zetsu and Danzou. Foxes, demons, dragons, tailed beasts, generations old grudge matches, and other kinds of hell break loose.

Alarms were ringing through Konoha's night, hurrying the civilians to the shelters, raising the lights in the village center, calling the close patrols in to defend their homes. Shinobi of the village ran to guard the wall and ranged through the training grounds beyond, searching for the attackers.

Rating: PG-13 for Sai-angst
Pairing/Characters: Danzou, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Madara, Naruto, Sai, Sakura, Sasuke, Tsunade
Word Count: 5418

Summary: Kakashi takes Sai under his wing and Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura help Sai start to find his emotional feet. Just in time for Madara to make his move on Konoha.

"Shinobi are the weapons of their villages. Their nations. Their employers. True enough. But a shinobi without the will to evaluate orders, and even modify them if field conditions demand it, is a blade without a sheath. And members of ANBU are ground to a sharper edge than any others. That's what you've been waving around your own village, Danzou."

Title: Half Without Another One: Chapter Eighteen

Genre: Drama
Rating: PG
Pairing/Characters: Danzou, Jiraiya, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Temari, Tsunade
Word Count: 7855

Summary: Sasuke attends his first Council, called to deal with Danzou's actions, while Naruto and Sakura figure out how to heal the Nine-tails. That second turns out to have risks none of them quite realized before-hand.

Under other circumstances, he might have enjoyed being here, his first Council as the acknowledged head of Uchiha. But he didn't want to be here today, looking at that smug bastard Danzou across the table. He wanted to be with his team, helping Sakura and Naruto research what it was already self-evident would be a dangerous procedure. And making sure no one made another try at Naruto.

If there was one thing he'd learned as a child, though, it was his duty as a son of Uchiha, so here he was. Not killing Danzou even a little, either; he hoped everyone appreciated his restraint.

Rating: PG
Pairing/Characters: Iruka, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Konan, Nagato, Naruto, Nine-tails, Sakura, Sasuke
Word Count: 7063

Summary: In the aftermath of the attack, Naruto talks with the Nine-tails, Sasuke frets over Jiraiya, and Jiraiya has to deal with Nagato and Konan (kleenex advisory).

Naruto scowled, folding his arms stubbornly. "It's not right! It's not right to keep your chakra unbalanced like that! I don't care how important it was to stop you then, it isn't right!" He set his jaw. "I'll convince her."

After a moment, the fox snorted and settled back down beside him. "Somehow I'm not surprised."

Naruto grinned a little and leaned against his shoulder, ignoring the growl he got for that. "Good. You're learning."

Author: branchandroot

Rating: PG-13 for violence
Pairing/Characters: Hinata, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Kitsuchi, Nagato, Naruto, Nine-tails, Sakura, Sasuke
Word Count: 4922

Summary: Naruto and his yearmates face Nagato, who seems unbeatable until Naruto negotiates again with the Nine-tails and releases part of his seal.

"Whatever peace you may have made with your beast does not change the actions of your village," the man said in a weirdly classroom-lecture kind of tone. "They sacrificed a newborn to make a weapon of the land's spirit and further sacrificed your life every day after that to their own fears. Is that not so?"
