Summary
Trolling people is Kakashi’s way of dealing with his new situation. Running away is Sakura’s answer. Sasuke’s solution involves hiding, and Naruto just wonders what his Uzumaki luck has landed him in this time around.
Or in other words, where Team Seven are transported to Middle Earth as Elflings after their disastrous battle with Kaguya.

Finding Family by thatdamnuchiha

Summary
Middle-earth is a strange new territory, with strange new threats, overprotective elves, and four little elflings who just want to find their way home… wherever that home might be, because like it or not, they’re stuck there with no chance of return. Death tends to be final like that, especially when there’s no one left to edo tensei oneself back to life.
A second chance at life should be a blessing, but trouble somehow always finds Team Seven, whether it comes in the form of strange beasts called orcs or nosy golden-haired elves who think they’ve returned from the Halls of Mandos too, though perhaps this time they might get a few thousand years of peace before the action begins.

Summary
The golden lettering on her skin was unreadable to her, at least until she died and found herself in a strange new world with a set of weirdly pointy ears to go along with it.
Fate has a strange way of helping soulmates to meet. Sakura somehow doubts dying and being reincarnated is one of those approved methods. It would’ve been far less painful to have just been born there in the first place.

She sees him in her dreams – a golden-haired figure in a white city, the names they call each other long forgotten. Anna thinks nothing of it. They’re just dreams, and dreams have no purpose messing with reality.

Summary
When dreams stop being dreams, things get confusing.
Anna is back – back in a place she once thought was just a product of her imagination. The silvery locks, bluish-grey eyes, and the pointed ears prove that much. Her dreams were memories. The same memories that led up to her death… well, her first death, before she slipped through a crack in the Halls of Mandos.
Ash, blood, and fire haunt her, the sounds of a dying, burning city echoing in her head whenever she tries to rest. Coming back from death is never easy. Death leaves scars on one’s very soul, but who better to heal those wounds than the company of her kin? There’s only one problem. Returning to her kin in Arda means facing the elf she sacrificed her life for. The one whose heart she broke all those years ago. But she doesn’t have an option to stay away.
Every day the call of the sea grows stronger for him, and it’s not his time just yet. He is their emissary, and it’s time they finally gave something back. Even if that something happens to be the love he’s convinced he lost years ago.

The Perils of Dimension Hopping by thatdamnuchiha

Tags
Summary
Being dragged into a different dimension while in the middle of a war isn’t the thing Sakura had in mind – so obviously she grabbed onto something to try and stop herself from falling down the rabbit hole.
It didn’t work.
Plus the thing she happened to grab onto was a person who came along for the ride. Too bad that person happened to be one Uchiha Madara.

Summary
Kakashi has always been dreading taking on students, and of course his sensei just had to lump him with the Rookie of the Year, the Top Kunoichi, and the Dead Last. It’s a volatile combination – he knows that fact too well. The Rookie of the Year and the Dead Last will be at each other’s throats, and the Top Kunoichi will be forced to mediate between the two.
Only that’s not the case.
Sakura is far too stab-happy when it comes to a certain Uchiha and has an odd fascination with longswords, silver, and diamonds. Sasuke loves insulting said Haruno before promptly getting his backside handed to him on a silver platter, not to mention his habits of setting himself on fire whilst fighting his ‘rival’. In fact, the only thing they ever agree on is a shared fear of fountains – of all things to be frightened of.
Naruto is a wonderfully normal loudmouth of a dead last, despite the pranks.
Kakashi likes normalcy.

Summary
Before she was Ecthelien she was someone else, but that didn’t matter. Her new parents loved her and all her strange ways. Everything was peaceful, everything was content. It didn’t matter that everyone had been expecting her to be a boy. It didn’t matter that she was going to be called Ecthelion if that’d been the case.
At least until she played in a fountain one day.
At least until one of the elves watching her jokingly called her Ecthelien of the Fountain.
At least until she remembered everything.

Summary
She feels it constantly - a sense of deja vu. She's been there before, only her arms were blank then, and her left wasn't marred by the oddly familiar, yet unreadable name of the person who's meant to complete her. The one whose soul calls to her own, no matter how twisted it is.
Her soulmate.

Summary
Sakura is stuck, trapped in a cycle of endless reincarnation, each time as a different person, or in a different time, and sometimes even a different world entirely. Nothing is ever the same, and she moves on, with pain in her heart at each loss.
At least until every thousandth incarnation.

Summary
There’s a tale which has been passed down in the Haruno Clan for years – the tale of one Haruno Sakura.
The same ancestor which Sakura herself is named after. But the tale is incomplete. Haruno Sakura went missing, presumed dead, many years before. Sakura thought nothing of it when she found herself in that same place, years later, on her last inane mission.
Cast adrift in a world which feels awfully familiar in ways she can’t describe, Sakura struggles to piece things together – because the tale of Haruno Sakura isn’t over just yet, and now it’s her time to write the closing chapter.

Summary
A new start was meant to await her in Eriador, along with the rest of her makeshift family. It was why they ventured there – in hopes of finding peace at last rather than the war they had all known for so many years.
But the forces of evil are stirring once more as the Second Age of Arda passes by, and the land Sakura thought would bring prosperity might be nothing more than a passing fantasy. Caught between her past and the uncertain future which awaits them, Sakura struggles to come to terms with who she was, and who she might still yet become.
The hands of time are ticking, the reach of the land’s evils growing, and the fates of Sakura and her beloved ones are caught in the balance. Facing the Dark Lord means confronting a past she wishes to keep buried but staying silent in Arda condemns her and her kin.
There’s a choice to be made, and a destiny fast approaching to face.
Evil never waits for the heroes to be ready.

children, hypocrisy, (that's what I give, you can take it from me) by thatdamnuchiha

Summary
Haruno Sakura grew up in a world which shunned her very existence, a place she could never quite bring herself to call home, somewhere where she never quite managed to fit in.
She knows the reason for this, though – that being her father does not belong to that world, or so her mother eventually told her – and with the war finally behind her, she sets off to find him. With hope in her heart, she travels to her father’s homeland, eager to find her place there. But family relationships are tricky, and Sakura finds herself stumped by the task set before her, because her father believes her and her mother dead.
It’s one thing to introduce herself to her estranged father, but another thing entirely for her to shatter the world he’s built in the wake of the assumed loss of his family.

Summary
When the being of fire and death came, Sakura watched the world burn.
When the being of fire and death came, Sakura watched her world, her life, come to an end.
When the being of fire and death came, Sakura swore vengeance and vowed to utterly destroy those who had stolen everything away from her and her dead friends out of pure spite.
She thought she was a woman with nothing more to lose and only vengeance to gain, but nothing could be further from the truth – because her family have been keeping a secret from her. A secret they took to their graves. But the time has come for lost blood to be returned to its rightful place.
Flung into a world unknown, Sakura scrambles to find herself once more, because her family have left their mark on that world, and the object of Sakura’s vengeance might just bring back a bloodied past which was meant to have been buried long ago.

Red Eyes in the Dark by thatdamnuchiha

Summary
His soulmark was beautiful – a circle made of what looked like cut crystal for the way it seemed to radiate numerous different colours, the predominant one being red. It was marred only by the odd pitch black design which sometimes seemed to spin if the light caught it just right. Glorfindel could only wonder as to who would be in possession of such a jewel and when they might cross paths.
Uchiha Reiko was not amused by her death and subsequent rebirth – not the least because she was reborn into a mad, mad world of soulmates and destined partners. Added to the fact that her soulmate would have to pass the stringent requirements the Uchiha Clan demand of any ‘potential’ soulmates, it’s safe to say she was rather troubled by the idea of the red string of fate.
Of course, nothing ever goes to plan, nor is destiny ever so kind to her, because Uchiha-bloody-Itachi has to go and ruin her plans by killing her.
Again.
She wakes up once more in a land where no one speaks her language, but the scars remain – including the thin line slicing through her eyes, stealing her vision from her.
She wakes up in darkness, upon the shores of unfamiliar lands, alone, terrified, and utterly blind.

Summary
It is meant to be simple, but nothing ever is when it comes to the twisted tangled thread of fate which ensnares a small number.
Haruno Sakura dies.
That is meant to be the end of it all, but that’s not quite the truth. Haruno Sakura dies, yes, but that is not where her tale ends. Rather, that is where it all begins – the beginning of a strange adventure all of her own. Haruno Sakura dies a bloody death, in a grey world marred by war where man kills man, each fighting for their own beliefs, and she is subsequently made anew in a world where the boundaries between good and evil are so clearly defined.
Ever there is a question resounding in her mind—
“Oh Child of War, will you ever know peace?”

Summary
She didn’t want to be there – no one in their right mind would – but that hardly changed the fact she had unwittingly stumbled into the world of one of her beloved storybooks.
Or was it?
She knows the history of that world as it is meant to be, but some facts simply don’t line up, and one Rose McCarthy is forced to adapt to a strange new life, as well as the fact that she might not be able to get home – ever. Because there’s a reason she’s there, stuck in a world which is neither as forgiving or as kind as the one she’s used to.
No one ever said being a Prophet was easy.

where there is light, there is shadow, (-and that, my dear, is where the monsters wait, lingering with a hunger they cannot sate) by thatdamnuchiha

Summary
Beings of Shadow move about in the darkness of night unseen, and shade falls upon the kingdoms of men early in the Third Age. In the North, the Witch-King of Angmar reigns over the remains of Fornost Erain, and in the South, Gondor is overrun by evil folk from the East.
In the midst of the brewing war between everything good and evil in that world, Haruno Sakura wanders as a mercenary to many, but a few know of her identity as an exceptional assassin – such is her trade. Hired for a quest of revenge, she relishes in the freedom of wearing the last remnant she has of the world she was born on and discarding the values she once clung onto for so very long. Or she thinks she does, at the very least.
For she knows both shadow and light, and while the darkness of anonymity is comforting, there are duties she has to face, and healing she needs to find – but both of which require her to figure out exactly what she wishes for her future, and that which she has become, and neither are questions so easily answered.

Summary
Sakura wakes up in a strange forest, with eight tiny children who are, coincidentally, the exact same size as her.
Though their appearances have all changed, there’s something they all have in common – they’re all shinobi, they’re all well acquainted with each other, and they all have pointed ears. Weird and strange things have always happened to Team Seven, and shinobi are all well enough versed in survival in strange and possibly hostile climates so they make do.
Then the elves find them.
Alternatively, in which Sakura can and will stab people in the ankles, Ino thinks this is rather hilarious and hides her worries with a smile, Naruto still thinks he can be Hokage, Sasuke wonders what in the fresh fuck is going on, Hinata is simply glad Naruto is still there with her, Shino ponders over the insect wildlife, Kiba is really happy Akamaru is there with him, Chouji wants food, and Shikamaru thinks the whole situation is bizarre and troublesome.

Summary
In the months after the war is over, she starts to have strange dreams. The kinds which only become more vivid as time goes on – until one night they’re not just dreams.
The truth is both simple and yet incredibly hard to believe: there is no such thing as Outer Sakura and Inner Sakura, rather there has always only been, and will only ever be one Sakura, just with something else latched to her mind.
And it’s not her who’s Haruno Sakura.

Summary
He sees it most nights; snippets of a life lived in a strange world which makes children murder other children. It is not a life he wishes for any, not least for the faceless body he seems to inhabit in those dreams as nothing more than a passenger.
They were just dreams though, a warning perhaps, a reminder not to let another child suffer the way they had in the First Age. But then he dreams of his death in that strange body – the boy the girl, for the form is female, loved with a hand of chirping white lightning rammed through her chest, betrayal choking her like the blood in her lungs does.
That should have been the end of those dreams.
But then he dreams of that same girl again, but this time something is very different: because she’s not dead. Rather, she’s alive and breathing once more, with scars of betrayal and loss set upon her heart, but this time she lives as one of his kindred.

Summary
She woke there, beneath stranger skies, with absolutely no clue as to why she was there or how to claw her way back home. Fate was a fickle, confusing thing, and Haruno Sakura could only do her best to survive in a strange world with her chakra stripped bare.
Shinobi survive – shinobi endure – that was what she was taught, and she did her best to live up to the expectations set by her missing mentors.
Yet that world is strange, and she dreams of a chorus of voices, an incorrigible yet marred song, and a voice which always asks—
“Oh Starless Shadow, won’t you sing?”

Yet not everything is at it seems, memory is ever a fickle thing, and there are skeletons buried in a closet she never knew existed until she woke up beneath those stranger stars.
