Is there a fanfic where Kakashi fell in love with Sakura before she fell in love with him?
I’ve been thinking about this for forever trying to come up with good recs for you but it’s time to admit, I was reading loads of fics 10 years ago and remember squat diddly. So here’s what I’ve got, but I insist other people add fics if they got any that fit the bill!
Duty Before Honour by SilverShine (157k words, M, Complete) - Sakura knew why Tsunade didn’t want a virgin on this mission. Things might get out of hand. Acts might be carried out too far. She was glad Kakashi was accompanying her, but right then she wouldn’t have minded the entire population of Konoha.
Tender Loving Care by SilverShine (12k, M, Complete) - For a man who claimed to hate hospitals so much, Kakashi sure did spend a lot of time in them. And Sakura was finally beginning to understand just why...
Slowly, Then All at Once by Frostings (10k, K, Complete) - Kakashi falls in love, but holds his peace. Written in response to a prompt about unrequited love.
Against the Sky by Nostalgic-Maiden (15k, M, complete) - On growing up, falling down, and why it's perfectly possible to do both at once.
Jewels Lost at Sargasso Seas by Grecoism (1k, M, Complete) - “At the end of the day, the women who attract Kakashi Hatake tend to fall into three categories.” [Icha-Icha]
The Small Postures by Celenier (121K, M, Ongoing TW: some kind of abuse to Sakura I think) - Before Danzo can undermine the Fifth, Shikaku Nara proposes a countermeasure to Tsunade. Sakura finds herself playing double agent in ANBU Root, which is not a healthy thing for anyone, but especially not for someone with an already fractured personality. Super angsty
The next 3 I’m not entirely sure but I think I think... he falls in love first
Ninja Dorks by itslulu42 (34k, T, Complete) - Yamato-sensei was crazy. There was no way she was going on a date with the Rokudaime. A heartwarming tale of poor social skills, cuddles, and denial.
Under the Sun by Rabod Behemoth (6k, T, Complete) - The first time Kakashi saw Sakura naked she was covered in blood. [KakaSaku]
Stripped Bare by J Pop Princess (I think?) (295k, M, Complete, TW: rape) - When Sakura wanted a change of pace, she hadn't expected THIS! Now she's on a mission with Kakashi, masquerading as a dancer at a club far away from home and she finds herself forced to explore her own powers of sexuality and seduction.
I’m positive there are a lot more in which Kakashi loves her first, if anyone can add any please do!!
