The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough. Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift--unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn. SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki (2017-2019) Commissioned Cover by @AwesomeDragonTamer (caleb-crow on Tumblr; caleb_thalia_crow on Instagram) BETA: @OfCloves

{1st Place in the Other Category and 1st Place in the Favourite Ship Category --- 2014 Spring @SnKWattyAwards!} "We're trapped like pigs to the slaughter in these walls. Forsaken by God for disobeying his great laws of life—his chaste commandments." Aoife Callaghan and her father, Liam Callaghan are all that remains of their family after Wall Maria was breached and Titans rushed in; harvesting and devouring as many lives as they could get their massive, grimy hands on. It was on that very day that Aoife learned that there was no dream she so wanted more fulfilled than the disappearance of the wretched giants—vowing the rest of her life toward learning the proper fighting skills required to take down such creatures. Will she prevail and make her mark on the ranks of the Titans or will she fail and fall to them like her mother and eldest brother? "Your strength will come when you need it most. Whether that strength be through words or through brute force; it will come. A tree might lose its leaves, but each Spring, they bloom anew. In your life, there will be good times and bad times; however, it is your decision upon which will affect your mentality the most, Aoife."

Sasuke didn't want a nanny. Sure, his father came home late, left early in the morning, never picked him up from school, couldn't find the time to play with him, was always in his study... Well, okay, maybe he needed a nanny. But only if it was the pretty lady at the park who tackled his father's coworker into a fountain. Rewrite of Nanny 100 Cover By: Cosmo_Cat924

When Sakura was three, her father told her he was a criminal. When she was seven, the last thing she saw of him was the sword on his back. When she was eight, she had a friend named Kiba. When they were twelve, they met Shino. And when they were genin, they began to fight for the truth because they could no longer fight for the sake of Konoha.

I should've told her everything. I shouldn't have been so scared. And now she's alone and hurting. I only have one chance at this. One chance to help make her life better. One chance to heal her. Please Kami, I beg of you. Let me see her again. Let me tell her everything. Give me time. Give me one last chance. ~~~ These two are going to rip my heart out. Ah well, this is a mini fanfic with only five chapters. Based on the dialogue, this isn't a happy walk in the park. Don't mistake that happy picture for something sunshine and such. Enjoy.

"It is never a choice to protect the ones you love; your body acts on its own impulse, as if to defend them is out of sheer instinct, rather than decision."

Meet Levi Ackerman, a man in his mid-thirties who's too short to reach the top shelf. He always believed that his future would never stray from his current routine - wake up, run the bar, go home and sleep, repeat. Levi believed that there was nothing in the world that could ever disrupt his routine. That is, until he made the acquaintance of Hanji Zoe. Hanji is a down-on-her-luck, high school science teacher who's got an alcohol addiction. After Levi finds Hanji unconscious in his bar, he made the decision to take care of her overnight. But when he learns that she's drowning in debt and without a place to live, Levi accidentally invites Hanji to stay with him, along with promising to help get her back on her feet. Of course, Levi didn't know exactly what kinds of new challenges this new housemate would bring. How will he deal with his life after it gets turned upside down? - Attack on Titan Modern AU.

Amaya is, to put it shortly, a very troubled girl. From dealing with the more experienced Anbu members' taunting, to her strict father who's obsessed with the revival of their no-longer-in-existence clan, to her kekkei genkai that poses a very dangerous threat to everyone who's around her, and not to mention her old genin team's insistence upon being a part of that "everyone". And that's not even the half of it. To top off all of the above, Lady Tsunade gives her the worst, most insulting mission possible: to catch a bandit that's been raiding local shops. What is she? A genin? And as if that's not enough she's forced to babysit him once she's caught him too! His name's Kohaku, and he's a cocky, annoying, cynical, flirt/thief/liar. Oh what fun. Note the sarcasm.

Orochimaru never became a missing-nin. The Fourth Hokage still stood tall. There was no Uchiha Massacre. The Akatsuki never existed. Madara never became a problem. What could go wrong in such a perfect world? Sakura Haruno had always been alone, and at thirteen, she abandoned Konoha. She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future? @NarutoWattyAwards 2014 Third Place Winner in the General Naruto Category! *Written from 2013-2015*
