Preface
Why are you doing this?
And I felt the world stop. I felt the combination of pure anxiety and horrorgrinded, blended, squeezed as my father asked me the question that would send me to my death, the crushing of hearts, to the oblivion that is Sais midriff. poof! Answer that fast Jam. And answer that well. Or else, all of this will just go And the answer came to my lips, Pangarap po. Dad could not argue with that. Nobody could argue with an answer like that: This is my dream. And no matter how cheesy it is, this is simply what the book really is. Its a dream. Its a tribute. Its faith. The project started as writing exercises between Miko-chan and Iulia as they lightly talked and joked about doing a compilation of short stories about the boy who seeks answers and the girl who loves him. None of us have thought that we will get to this point, that well actually finish the projectbecause we consider it as something that will be done by other people, that it is an aspiration that is not meant to be realized by us. But no one really knows how life turns out; and after two years since April 2008, we now hold this; A Fractured Fairytale: A Sasuke Sakura Alternate Universe Anthology. It had been an exhausting roadone filled with endless drafts, simultaneous arguments, mountainous editingbut its the least that we can do as a tribute to the story of a boy-man with broken eyes and a girl-woman with determined gazes that we fell in love with seven years ago. Together with 21 authors, eight artists, and many other contributors, the book brings 36 original adaptations mainly featuring Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura in settings far different from their world. This anthology gives you a collection of tales, stories about the sweet taste of firsts and bitter sounds of heartbreaks. The stories have put the characters in worlds, featuring slices of lifebittersweet and ever so changing. Some have been made in tribute to the dark and supernatural genres that have been explored for seven years on the fandoms fanfiction, like fallen angels, vampires, the undead and mythical creatures.

Others have dwelt on historical settings, like World War II, the Berlin Wall or the Ottoman Resistance; while a number bring life to the characters in a contemporary flare. The book expounds on soul mates and second chances, on solitude and friendship, on giving up and believing. It is what I call the metaphorical paint which old and new authors of the fandom use to illustrate a world, where possibilities are explored and boundaries are stretched, into the canvas that is the readers mind. They are achingly beautiful yet, for the critical eye, they can be imperfect and unpolished. But isnt that how things really are? Filled with flaws and sincerity, almost drawn out of a mysterious dream, just like how these two beautiful characters area pairing that reflects how we view love: hopeful and resilient against the test of time. hanabi-no-ai | 03.12.2010 I just realized I love their story because they taught me how to be passionate about something.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age-old pain, It's ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time: You become an image of what is remembered forever. You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewellOld love but in shapes that renew and renew forever. Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you The love of all mans days both past and forever: Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life. The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours And the songs of every poet past and forever.
