ItaSaku is one of my all-time favorite Sakura ships and my second favourite UchiSaku ship. I love Sakura. I love Itachi. Also, Itachi treated her far better in those 5 seconds in RTN than Sasuke had entire Shippuden, just saying. A lot of characters have picked Sakura princess style but Itachi's just hit different – it's probably the way he pulls her to him.
You'll find many popular fics like 'The Way of the Wind', 'Vespertine', 'Cabbage patch', etc, missing in the list, but that's intentional. It took me forever to complete this list. I hope you'll enjoy this list!

The peach dropped from her hand and knocked into the wheel of the fruit stand with a soft thud. He looked so ordinary that she had almost missed him in the crowd.

It was a well known secret that the reason the Uchiha were put under house arrest and no longer allowed to leave their compound over ten years ago was because a group of the family had planned a coup to take over the village.
What was less well know was that while the main conspirers had been executed, the rest of the clan were given the option of having seals placed on them like the branch family of the Hyuuga, or being sealed into their compound until they learned their lesson (the details about how they would ‘learn their lesson’ were a little unclear, Sakura liked to imagine them being forced to watch propaganda films about how awesome Konoha was and reciting songs).
