House of Crows (M) by SilverShine.
A long one for today, and het. Gosh, when will all the excitement cease, you may ask?
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Hatake Kakashi/Haruno Sakura
Genre: Het. Romance, drama, adventure, politics.

Author on LJ: silvershiner
Warnings: Some drunk sex, some violence.
Author Websites: FFN.
Author's Summary War is coming to Konoha and Sakura is far from home, uncertain of her future. But one thing is for sure, Sakura will protect her unborn child at all costs, whether it be from Konoha's enemies... or from its own father.
Why this must be read: When I first read the summary for this I kinda flinched. Kaka/Saku pregnancy fic, I thought, imagining the plethora of horrible tropes that could potentially spawn. And then, since I'd enjoyed the author's other work, I read it anyway, and I am so so glad that I did. Yes, it's pregnancy fic and yes, it's Kaka/Saku, but throw all your other misconceptions out of the window. This is a strong Sakura. Yes, she's on the back foot, but she fighting and nothing's going to get in her way. And the characterisation of Kakashi is interestingly different from the usual. He's still his typical laid back, kinda lazy, self but he brings with him a clan history that turns a lot of assumptions on their head. In short, this is a great read, engaging from beginning to end, and I can recommend it to those who would normally avoid the pairing for fear of fangirl overdose or self-insertion. There is nothing of that in this epic, twisty, fun story. Please remember to feed the author if you enjoy.
