They call Haruno Sakura a “paper ninja” due to her test scores. Presumably due to her being a bookworm. But we don't really see a lot of that part of her before Naruto leaves.

Tony Stark has disappeared, only hours after his final break-up with Pepper. No-one knows where he is - non-one except the darker side of the New Yorker High Society.Being kept as a slave, humilitated and tortured, he begins to lose his self respect as well as his will to live. Half starved and hanging on his sanity by the smallest tread he gets bought by a stranger. A stranger he has never seen before ... but who seems to know him, and who may be the only person able to bring him back to himself.Little problem: This stranger is intent to keep him as a pet, sitting at his feet, getting brushed every day and eating out of his hand. And Tony finds himself liking this attitude more and more ... This does not contain non-con or Loki treating Tony like a slave. It's a hurt/comfort-story.With bits of Loki being Loki, of course.

Three months have passed since Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Tatooine. He has settled into a quiet, uneventful life in the desert, watching over the infant Luke from afar. Alas, his life isn’t going to stay quiet or uneventful for much longer. OR: The novel-length story of Obi-Wan’s years in exile (and beyond!) I have always wanted to read.
