The Turning World

by skyvoice

"I don't care if the Hokage is having a tea ceremony with the Daimyo," Sasuke growls, a fistful of the terrified ANBU’s flak vest in his right hand and the beginnings of lightning chakra sparking around his left. "You will open this door, or I won't just unmask you, I'll take your head with it." Starring Sasuke and his temper in a tale of not-so-thrilling kidnapping; or, getting old and the consequences thereof. Team 7 OT3 if squinting.

rest like you belong here.

by foibles_fables

With another shuddering breath, Aloy takes appraisal. For all the victory, she sure took a beating. Battered and bloodied after the skirmish with Dervahl, Aloy finds herself in an unfamiliar position: out of supplies and needing to reach out for help. [a missing scene, in two parts]

Truce

by weirdrobot

This isn't quite a redemption story. Not quite a love story either. It's just a begrudging alliance, nothing more. Between two sworn enemies at the end of the war who soon realise things are more complicated than they thought.Canon divergent ROTS AU, my favourite "teaming up with the enemy" trope.
