Naruto Fic Recs list

May 21, 2006 18:23

Yet another fic recs list to add to the many that are already out there. It's no even close to finished yet, these were just the one that I remembered off the top of my head when I wrote down which ones I wanted to rec. Currently only SasuNaru, although I plan to add some other pairings and gen fics after my exams.

Please note that when I say SasuNaru, it doesn't necessarily mean that Sasuke tops.

I've tried to avoid linking to aff, due to my utmost hatred of the site, but I got a little lazy ^^;; Yeah, I suck.

Last draft: 21st May 2006

Sum it up: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Reasonable, even. The Hyuuga family was old and noble and rich. The Uchiha clan had no where else to go. So once the rambunctious Sasuke settled down, grew up, and the darkness around him lifted a little, it had been all settled.
I say: Despite the SasuHina offspring, it is actually SasuNaru :P An interesting look at what happens when you mix bloodlines.
Sequel: Start

At the End of All Things Silvaren

Sum it up: As he slides to the ground, dark red blood smears along the length of the tree trunk. That last blow he hadn’t been quick enough to avoid was all Sasuke - vicious, brilliant and painful as hell. But it served its purpose, his accelerated self-healing ability is sealed behind something that burns against his skin. Sasuke may be dying, but Naruto sure isn’t going to get very far without medical attention.
I say: Wow. I enjoyed it very much, but it took me forever to find the damn link again :P

Rating PG-13
Sum it up: By the start of the second week after the Event, Sasuke felt like the shirt was mocking him. Sneering at him. Reminding him of what happened. Showing up in his dreams.
I say: Paranoid!Sasuke is so cute <3 Had me grinning like a loon by the end.
Sequel: Living with Strangers

Best Laid Plans Asuka Kureru/askerian

Rating NC-17
Sum it up: He looked at Sasuke again, thinking. Sasuke was proud, and cold, and aloof, and strong-willed. Most of the time. But he didn't know how to deal with people that well, and he hated being vulnerable. And ending up in a weaker girl's body, underneath a man... it had to be pretty scary for someone like him.
I say: Hooray for Sexy no Jutsu. There is a softer version, but I won’t bother linking unless some asks for it.
Sequel: Nothing official, but some fragments here and here.

Blind Dates and Secret Crushes Kiya Sama

Rating PG13
Sum it up: Naruto opened up his eyes, unaware of the low sound of dismay that had escaped him as he watched Sasuke dust himself off with his back turned to him. He groaned and closed his aching thighs together, willing his throbbing and aching groin to cease its torture on his body. Damn Sasuke for confusing him like this!
“Now, do you see why I could never like Sakura?” came the quiet question from Sasuke, who was yet to look Naruto in the eye.
I say: It made me lol at Naruto’s sheer denseness. Maybe a little OoC but small enough to ignore.

Chasing Naruto AkaiTsume

Rating R
Sum it up: Who would’ve guessed that someone so abrasive and immature would end up being Sasuke’s closest friend? They’d hated each other in elementary school, had developed grudging respect for each other in middle school, and after a not-so-brief falling out when they were thirteen, the two had grown almost abnormally-in Sasuke’s eyes-close. Hell, they’d followed each other to college, hadn’t they?
I say: So amazingly realistic, not just because it’s set in a college, but because it feels just like life can sometimes. I love it! *_*

Conviction Questofdreamsquestofdreams

Rating NC-17
Sum it up: “It’s because you don’t know him. He’s just another completed mission. Any more than that and your conviction falters. After all, we just do our jobs. We don’t get paid to feel.”
I say: I love the characterisations in this. Naruto really is stubborn to the point of obliviousness and stupidity. <3
Prequel: The Beginning of a Goodbye

Cracks in the Sidewalk swallowedhalo

Status: WiP
Rating Eventual R/NC-17
Sum it up: As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
I say: Wow. Just wow. I’ll also add here that this fic has introduced me to the sheer brilliance that is Elliot Smith. It weaves relavent lyrics into the story in a way that makes it flow, unlike most songfics I’ve seen. It's not really a songfic though. Band/Highschool AU.

Crossed Wires Asuka Kureru/askerian
Status: WiP
Rating PG13
Sum it up: The furry is looking amused. Sasuke wonders if the idiot even knows how many ways he could kill him, and slaps down yet another warning flash. Unjustified use of lethal force against civilian yadda yadda -- he's not a cop anymore. He can unjustify anything he wants. Dumb subroutines. He hates that auto-restore feature.
I say: askerian is a very good writer. Read. Cyber AU.

Sum it up: The young man leaning over the Hokage's desk didn't look remarkable. He showed no obvious clan affiliation, and his coloring was wrong as well: most of the major clans in Konoha produced dark-haired, pale-skinned children, and this man sported a dark tan and sun-bleached yellow hair. His chuunin uniform was unkept, scratched and spotted with different stains. His most noticeable trait was that he couldn't seem to keep still: he kept moving around, tapping his feet, running his hands across the desk or folding them, then dropping them to his sides.
"Listen, old hag," and that was another mark of distinction: gone was any lack of reverence towards the number one ninja in the country, the physical and spiritual leader of his village. "You can't stick me with a group of little kids! I told you when I got old enough, I didn't want one! Do you know how much this is going to cut back on my mission eligibility?"
I say: The characterisation blew me away. So sad T^T *sniffle*

The Emerald Isles fyredevyl/fyredevyl
Status: WiP
Rating NC-17
Sum it up: Naruto glanced at his itinerary. In bold letters he saw London Heathrow as his first stop and then he would get on a connecting flight to Belfast before he made his way further north to the city of Coleraine. He sent another 'thank you' to his teacher and advisor, Iruka, at the local community college in his hometown for pushing him to apply to study abroad for a year in Northern Ireland.
I say: Maybe I’m a little biased because it’s a college fic that’s set in Britain not America (even though I’m English!British not Irish!British) but it’s an awesome, pretty fic, well characterised and an interesting plot.

Hot Sex and Pest Control Sintarisintari

Rating PG-13
Sum it up: Falling in love is the easiest thing in the world. Staying in love is another thing altogether.
I say: Ok, ok, so I was drawn in by the title, so sue me :P Surprisingly fluffy.

The Inevitable rayemars/reimars
Status: Complete
Rating PG-13
Sum it up: He knows that the seal is still firmly in place. Everyone knows the seal is still firmly in place; Tsunade made sure of that when the whole mess began. And it's not like it's even visible unless Naruto is using the fox demon's chakra. It's a stupid gesture, and Sasuke doesn't like doing stupid things.
He does it anyway.
I say: Sad and angsty, one of the few fics I’ve read which has almost made me cry (almost, mind you, I am a cold hearted ice-bitch after all :P)

It’s Tradition Justice-hime

Rating PG-13
Sum it up: Tomorrow would dawn just like any other day, but to Naruto it was anything but just another day. It was the beginning of that week, the week that had happened every year since it had first occurred.
I say: A little OoC at times, and a tad rushed, but it amused me greatly ^^

Konoha Studios fyredevyl/fyredevyl

Rating NC-17
Sum it up: “I wasn’t fucking around with her. I was serious about her! And ewww, Hanabi is---”

“Bullshit Naruto! You haven’t been serious about anyone ever since Uchiha fucked you up,” Neji retorted.
I say: Still in the early stages, but it has me very much intrigued.

Losing Sleep Sugahlei/sugahlei
Status: Complete
Rating PG
Sum it up: The next time it happens it’s a different mission; the room they board in is different and Sakura is off on watch. This time, the sound drags him from his dreams as neatly as a drop of rain. Naruto scowls and mumbles and turns his head again to see Sasuke curled up in a ball like before. He can see one hand peeking over the dip of neck and shoulder as if Sasuke had his arms across his chest.
I say: Despite the fact I much prefer angst over fluff, I like this fic better than any of sugahlei’s angst fics, although I still love love LOVE those. I also recommend visiting her ffn page and taking a look round there.

Sum it up: Naruto pushed Sasuke away roughly and gasped for air. He coughed once and gave Sasuke a dark glare. “You call that kissing?”
I say: Very funny. Well written bad smut. A must read! http://crazy-toffee.livejournal.com/32458.html#cutid1crazy_toffee is indeed talented.

Sum it up: When Sakura found Tamaki in the morning, her hand was outstretched, fingers curled in the cold mud. Face grim, Sakura gently removed the kunai from Tamaki's throat and began her jutsu. Slivers of bloody ice fell to the ground.

It was with a sense of tremendous regret that, after conducting her preliminary investigation, Sakura had no choice but to arrest one Sasuke Uchiha for the crime.
I say: Unf pretty, with added SakuIno *fangirls endlessly*

Sum it up: “Ah... So you want to kill him to avenge your clan...” Makoto took a deep swig of his drink, thinking. After a long moment he said softly, “I can help you, but you will need to make some sacrifices... and there is absolutely no going back. It's all or nothing.”
I say: Admittedly, I haven’t quite finished reading it yet ^^;; A vampire AU set in the original Naruto World.

Sum it up: "Naruto..." The older man's brows drew in, perplexed at the way he was acting. "What's wrong...?" He tilted his head, his movement an exact copy of what Naruto did when he was puzzled. "Did you have a bad dream or something?" Naruto shook his head, eyes narrowed and his heart speeding up faster in his chest.
"Who are you?" Naruto repeated, more forcefully this time. "And where am I?" He scooted to the opposite side of the bed and stood, putting as much space between himself and the overly familiar stranger as possible. The man was frowning now in confusion, unwittingly mirroring the exact expression on Naruto's face. He could feel the sun warm against his back and he briefly considered fleeing through the window.
I say: I’m one of the few people who doesn’t think Yondaime is Naruto’s daddy, but I rec this none the less. An intriguing look at what could have been.

Risque Moerae
Status: WiP

Sum it up: The predictions of him picking up several not-so-wholesome traits from Kakashi was slowly coming true. He was already down the irreversible path to pervert-hood without knowing it, and he suspected Kakashi and Jiraiya-sama were going to welcome him into the fold with open arms. Where was that kunai, he wondered briefly.
I say: In which Kakashi and Jaraiya attempt to infect their students with their perverseness. Beware the naked Naruto.

Second Course sintari
Status: Complete
Rating NC-17
Sum it up: Naruto looked up and down the long table, finding people he knew here and there, and then stole a piece of sushi when he thought no one was looking.
I say: Smut, with a little bit of fluff and a few giggles. A few barest hints of SakuIno, which gains my eternal love.

SelfReliance Imbirium Iridium
Status: WiP
Rating R
Sum it up: It was a ridiculously simple plan, comprised solely of low-level ninjutsu, flat out lies, and more than a little alcohol. A genin could have pulled this off, honestly--not that he suggested a genin should, though, because drinking and sex were heavily involved in The Plan. In fact, drinking and sex covered two out of three aspects of The Plan.
I say: I’m not usually into the whole MPreg thing, but for this I make exception. Starts off funny and gets darker as you go along, but still has a few moments of fluffy fun.

Sum it up: “Phallus. Noun. Plural can be either phalli or phalluses. One: A penis, especially when erect. Or two: A representation of an erect penis symbolising fertility or potency.” The ever familiar drawl came from above their heads.
I say: It broke my brain. Cracky goodness in a bottle. (Har har punz)

Sum it up: Sasuke had been stuck in the office all day, he would take a shack by the roadway at this point. "Fine." He murmured, maintaining his calm façade by the thinnest of margins. "I'll take it." He didn't exactly know what 'caretaker' involved, but since he never listed any handyman skills, he figured that it was mainly watching over the place and checking to make sure it wasn't falling apart on the people that lived there. Plus, it would save him money.
I say: Amazingly original, I was wowed by the plot. Although it does take a while to reach the soft, chewy SasuNaru centre.

Sum it up: “The scrolls will be put to good use,” Tsunade said, voice clipped. Her previous, playful air was gone. “There has been a rash of kidnappings in the village, and the warding jutsus will be useful in protecting the rest of our children.” She glanced to her right where Shizune was standing, hands clasped behind her back.

She stepped forward, meeting Sakura’s eyes. “I will give you your next assignments when the meeting is adjourned.”
I say: ceresi is awesome. Go read now. Also includes some KakaSaku and other implied pairings.

Sum it up: “The Japanese are winning! And I’ve heard tell that their troops are burning entire villages in their way. Don’t tell me there isn’t a risk of death if they should make it here!”
I say: Original, well researched and above all brilliant. I actually learned some stuff about WWII I didn’t know. War AU fic.

Sum it up: If the hag had healed him, she was losing her touch. He couldn’t remember ever having woken up from her treatments so drained and sore still, and he’d had them more often than he cared to admit.
I say: Like a vampire AU, only not. Serious crack. Makes you think about demon charkra and the consequences of using it, or at least it did me, I’m just a nerd like that. :P

Walking Corpse suomynonakun

Sum it up: He couldn’t see the intruder’s mouth, but the way his eyes crinkled Sasuke thought he must have been grinning. He sucked in a breath when he caught sight of his eyes. A brilliant azure blue blinked at him; it was a shade he hadn’t seen in years. Suddenly Sasuke hated this man. Only one person was allowed to have those color eyes and he was going to kill this man so he wouldn’t have to look at them.
I say: One of my personal favourites, and I have no idea why T^T Draws you in liek woah.

Sum it up: The thread knotted up for the second time, forming a helpless tangle against the orange fabric. Naruto scowled and tugged hard on the needle. Unsurprisingly---to anyone except Naruto---the thread broke.
I say: Recced just because it’s something you wouldn’t usually think of, and I find it vaguely amusing for some reason.

Feel free to link, mem, whatever, that's what I made it for! ^^ Any fics you think I should add to the list, comment and link it to me.
