Help me find similar fics to my fav fic ever please

Fic Request

This fic is basically all the best things in the world rolled into one story. It’s a mostly self indulgent AU and very Sakura-centric, and now I’m desperately looking for more fics with a similar feel.

Not specifically the “Sakura can see ghosts” part (I can find that through tags on AO3). What I really mean is the character relationships and dynamics, the emotional bonds, the family vibes, the way everyone cares about each other. I don’t even know how to describe it properly, it’s just so good.

Things I loved about this fic:

•	Minato and Kushina are alive, and there’s no Uchiha massacre

•	Danzō gets dealt with early

•	Kakashi treats Team 7 like his pups

•	Uzumaki-Namikaze, Uchiha, and Haruno all basically becoming one big family (plus a few others)

•	Codependent Team 7 + Kakashi dynamics

•	Obito is alive and thriving

•	Sakura is emotionally stunted (but in a well-written, meaningful way)

•	Sakura has an older brother (Hidan) that she’s super close to

•	Too much protective adults around Team Seven

•	Sakura can see ghosts (Hashirama and Tobirama help raise her and their dynamic is PERFECT)

•	Sakura is so deeply loved, and you can really feel it in everyone’s interactions (honestly all of Team 7 is)

•	Shisui. I don’t need to say more.

•	Real, satisfying character development

•	The Founders guiding Sakura on her journey as a shinobi

•	Competent adults in Konoha (!!!)

If you know any fics with a similar strong emotional bonds, found family, well-written character relationships, protective Kakashi, and codependent Team 7, please drop your recs 🙏

It doesn’t have to match everything on this list exactly, just the same kind of emotional energy and dynamics.
