    Summary

    Haruno Sakura knows Death before she knows anything else. Knowing doesn’t prepare her for Team 7.
     
    Unlike what everyone seems to believe, it does not start with seeing dead people. That, actually doesn’t come until much, much later.

    Summary

    Take a quiet, introverted Sakura with a scientifically minded brain, and a penchant for perfectionism, and throw her onto team 7.

    A story of a what-could-have-been, but not necessarily a fix-it.

    OR

    Sasuke was the rookie-of-the-year, hailed as a genius. But... If more people knew that Sakura had near-perfect chakra control and the brains to put it to use (which she does to Kakashi's fascination and horror), she would be hailed as a prodigy.

    Summary

    "Prince Zuko," Iroh began, but the prince wasn't having it. He stormed away and before he knew it he was in his quarters, flinging sparks from his fingers and hissing steam. When that passed, he aggressively lit his meditation candles and tried to calm down. It was difficult because unlike combat meditation came easily, which added insult to injury. Gentle flames licked the air and formed in his palms as well. They were warm and soothing, unlike how fire was supposed to be. Instead of stinging his skin with small burns, the flames numbed the scraps on his palms and the aches in his joints. He knew that by the time his meditation ended he would feel invigorated and new.

    His heart burned with shame; no wonder father had discarded him. There was no greater disgrace than having a son who was a healer.

    Summary

    The flower that blooms last may catch the wildest wind of them all.

    Alternatively: Sakura graduates from the academy, buys herself some anmitsu to celebrate, and arrives home to find her mother being beaten bloody by a thief. Things are different after that.

    A heuristic method (/hjᵿˈrɪstᵻk/; Ancient Greek: εὑρίσκω, "find" or "discover"), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals.

    Summary

    The universe Bruce wakes up in has superheroes, aliens and, somewhat more strangely, it also has four children living in Wayne Manor.

    Bruce Wayne is almost forty. He's been an innovator, a philanthropist and GQ's Most Wanted twelve years counting. He doesn't remember being a dad. But now that he is, he's going to be the best dad one could possibly be.

    Or: Batman is a dick. AU-Bruce saves the day.
