ooh, I'd love to see you really dig your heels in for a fic! That sounds interesting, too. I didn't like Sasuke/Sakura/Kakashi triangles much in the past because I don't like how most fics characterize Sakura when she's with Sasuke (she is always second, or lesser than him, or carrying his weight), even if she doesn't stay with him the whole fic. I like to think that post-time-jump Sakura is more self-confident and self-assured than she was when she crushed on Sasuke as a genin.

But, knowing how you feel about making Sakura a badass, I think I can trust you as an author to handle it right. And I wouldn't mind reading about this older version of Sasuke who beat his brother and learned all these village secrets. Except not the stupid version of him.
