Someone in the comments of my own fic asked for NaruSasu recs, so I thought I'd also make a post compiling my absolute favourites here! I've been so fortunate with the response to my work on AO3 so I hope this is a nice way to share the love around:
Inside this place is warm by magma. One shot, a cozy night in with Sasuke and hokage!Naruto where they figure out what they are to each other. It's short, so well written and the author really grasps the subtleness/complex nature of their relationship! (the author is @magmavox on tumblr!)
Swimming against the current by GODZILLA90095. Part 1 of the series with the same name. College AU. When I tell you I devoured this fanfic........ Lowkey-emo!Sasuke, hockey-player!Naruto. It's funny, it's got lots of pinning, it's got feels, it's got Naruto figuring out his sexuality in the most typically Naruto way, basically it's got IT ALL. And the writing is amazing. It was the fic that inspired me to get on the website and post my own work.
Tears don't fall by GODZILLA90095 (again bcs they rule). Part 1 of the series A different way but just as good. Modern AU. It's kind of a Naruto and Sasuke get a second chance in their 30s after a huge break-up. Naruto has kids with Hinata, but he's gay. It's heartbreaking, raw, real, beautiful.... fuckkkk read it!!!
The Symposium series by candlewix. Told from the perspective of ace!Kakashi. We see Naruto and Sasuke's love story across the years from his eyes. No one, I mean NO ONE, is as funny as this author. The way they write Kakashi's POV is hilarious, but so well balanced by the profound and beautiful descriptions the author writes about what Nart and Sake mean to each other. ugh.
We Deserved a Better Ending My Love by narutophobia. Reencarnation babyyy! Naruto and Sasuke in modern times, but everything that was in canon was real just reaaally long ago. Naruto remembers, searches for Sasuke (who doesnt remember!!). SHENANIGANS ensue. Beautiful love story and such an interesting take on things.
love like this is forever by moonplums. Part 1 of the series forever. It's set in Boruto era/world - I am not usually into that tbh, it gives me anxiety to think about Sasuke and Naruto not getting together after the war BUT this series does it quite nicely, kind of like they have their awakening later in life and it's very cute how they have a family with the kids. Sarada's POV. Worth reading for sure!
when it all comes together, there's just you by kintou. It's short fragments of both Naruto and Sasuke discovering their sexualities across the years, with and without each other. Super cute and interesting, and smutty! I love the concept. (author is @ao3-kintou on tumblr!)
I might one day make a part 2 to this, but so far these are the ones I've read that I really love! I hope it was ok to share these on here, if you are the author and would like me to remove (or tag you!) just message me.
If you read any of these and you like 'em, remember to leave a comment (any comment!). You can make the author's day with just a little emoji. <3
Strangers?
An au. Where Harry is the local sheriff, and Draco is a wanted criminal, who’s currently on the loose. Harry’s job is to capture him but surprise surprise it was his own heart that was captured. (Feel free to write about this if you want (this is me pleading for someone to write this)). This is like pt 1 of the illustration. I try to draw the part 2 maybe.
(This was kinda unfinished? But I lose my motivation a while ago (apparently sleep deprived can led you to that). I try to redeemed myself on the next piece instead)
This fic added like 10 years to my life, give it some love
Bullying Hanai is maybe my favorite thing to do………
rivals
for jjkfemslashweek
i think if mai lived, maki and mai would’ve reconciled somewhat so they wouldn’t fight as much but mai would 100% still take any chance to rile up nobara
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
Who said I love you first between Light and L? 🥺
L did!...
... but Light admitted it to himself first
Stranger Things, Finally got around to finishing this
@rated-r-for-fear and sent me this catcrumb comic with the comment “Nieyao” and she’s 100% correct.
Back on my Enchanted!Reddie au cause im sobbing listening to So Close from the movie again.
So in my au, Beverly was the one who was supposed to be Giselle but Prince Edward gets in time and fumbles the plan and falls down the enchanted wishing well himself as shown here:
Thus enchanted movie shenanigans ensue as down on his luck comedian Richie Tozier comes across a Disney Prince who is utterly confused and lost in New York and Richie is surprised he hasn't gotten hit by a car yet
Richie is currently in a relationship with Sandy who comes by to visit Stan and richies apartment and is annoyed to find this Disney Prince hovering over Richie.
Stan tries to help Richie figure out how to get this prince home to wherever he's from but he's got work so he needs to head off and promises to meet with the pair at lunch time:
Meanwhile, Beverly suits up to go save Eddie with the Queens previous advisor who is concerned about his friend and Beverlys chipmunk friend Bill (who was turned into a chipmunk for irritating the Queen too much) and while they're searching and after she tries to join Eddie's singing in the park only yo get wiped out by a bunch of people on bikes, she's helped up by Ben, who is super confused by this Disney Princess trying to sing to find someone and offers to help her find who she's looking for.
Mike has to keep up the pretense of helping the Queen cause she keeps checking in with him.
Reddie is happening, Benverly is happening, Stanpat was already happening, Hanbrough is begrudgingly happening cause their having chaos shenanigans
But soon Beverly and Eddie find each other and must follow their obligations and come back.
Stan decides to take Eddie and Ben to get ready for the ball they were all gonna attend and decides to ask of going back is what he really wants. Eddie says he has to, as the Prince and his mother must be going out of her mind and Stanley wonders outloud whether she may have had something to do with this whole mess and Eddie wants to believe his mother but now is beginning to doubt her now and he knows he wants to stay with Richie.
As well as this Richie, Bev and Patty go together and Beverly begins to wonder whether she's really happy to leave Ben behind in this world to go back because of how much she already cares about him.
Mike and Bill got seperated and when the Queen finds out about the two reuniting she tells them she's coming there to sort this herself now
Her plan is get Eddie to eat the apple herself, cause to her is better if he's at home in eternal sleep and close the portal and leave Beverly trapped here.
Eddie and Beverly take on the dragon together, reddie true loves kiss wakes Eddie in the end, and Eddie gives Ben and Beverly his blessing to take over the kingdom together and keep the portal open in order to visit. Also with the Queen gone, Bill's curse is reversed and he's changed back into a human and Mike and him head back with Benverly and visit along with them.
I'm aware this is rushed idk if anyone would be interested in a written version of this but I was defo gonna maybe do more of this at some point
