    Summary

    Coming back to Konoha doesn’t mean coming home. Not when everyone has moved on without you, not when the people you should have grown up beside feel like strangers connected by memories and moments you were never part of.

    After years away from the village, Sasuke realizes he doesn’t know how to live in peace, how to stay… or how to exist in a place that kept moving forward without him.

    Convinced he no longer belongs anywhere after everything he’s done, he isolates himself once again, watching other people’s happiness from a distance like he always has.

    But Naruto still keeps searching for him, even now. Patient. Tireless. As if he still believes Sasuke deserves a place by his side.

    Summary

    For years, Naruto chased after Sasuke, and every time, Sasuke pushed him away. It was what he thought he wanted, but when the war ended and Naruto let him go, Sasuke found himself truly alone.

    What if it wasn't what he wanted anymore?

    Summary

    He was the Sun, they would say—bright, blissful, captivating. What most failed to recognize was that the Sun is also destructive, especially up close.

    Unfortunately, that was exactly where Sasuke loved to be.

    Summary

    The only reason Sasuke keeps coming back to Konoha is because of that mattress. The bed is his only respite. And perhaps the dumbass who owns said bed might be worth it, too.

    Or, another canon divergence 699 that showers Sasuke with too much (deserved) love and attention that we all need for these unprecedented times.

    Title means "Bonded Light". It'll make sense when you're about 100K in.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    one of the only naruto fics i’ve read that acknowledges the uchiha massacre as a genocide and makes the characters try to do right by sasuke.

    Summary

    Naruto Uzumaki has always known exactly who he is.

    The only son of the Fourth Hokage.
    The village’s golden boy.
    Loved, adored, indulged.

    From the moment he could walk, hands were ruffling his hair, treats were being slipped into his pockets, elders laughing as he ran through the streets like he already owned them. And honestly? He kind of did.

    Confidence came easy.
    Charm even easier.

    By the time he was old enough to notice the way girls stared, Naruto learned something important, if he smiled just right, leaned in just enough, he could get anything he wanted.

    Except her.
