Mini-Rec List
Simply because someone needed some NaruSasu fic recs :)
- Team Dynamics - By PlotAficionado
Summary: After Naruto almost kills Sasuke, the team dynamics shift. Can the trio find balance when their feelings for each other begin to change?
My Comments: Team Dynamics is rich in characterization and plot development, along with being a very original look into how Sasuke and Naruto's relationship could develop after Sasuke's return to Konoha. There are a few 'eeew' moments scattered about the story, along with a few 'dull' moments or overly wordy descriptive scenes, but overall, I'm very much enjoying this story and am always on the lookout for the authoress to update more :) - Red Moon Rising - By
atanih88
Summary: Nine years have passed since the Great War and the result is the chaos that now rules alongside Akatsuki. And when a demon and an avenger meet among the chaos, they threaten to bring down the continuous ascending of the red moon.
My Comments: With only two chapters, Hina has certainly drawn me in and left me wanting more. It's original, involved, and exciting with only two chapters released... something that often doesn't happen much in the fandom anymore. I'm almost positive this story will turn out to be everything I'm hoping from it and more :) - High Stakes - By
mignonne422
Summary: When the stakes of a poker game escalate, will the boys be willing to risk everything for what they really want or will they lose it all?
My Comments: I'm actually surprised 'High Stakes' hasn't been rec'd on here yet. It's absolutely stunning to read, and the smut factor (though not the main focus) is awesome :D :D One of the very, very few NC-17 AUs that I have read that I've become utterly smitten with :) - Different Seasons and A Change of Seasons - By XeroKitty
Summary: Naruto and Sasuke are finally reunited. It's going to be a long year...
My Comments: Not many people know of this fic and its sequel, but I feel compelled to throw it onto the pile, regardless of it seeming cliché or contrite in some instances. It's not your typical run-of-the-mill developing relationship fic... it's complex, unexpected and bittersweet. It's definitely not something you should read, though, if you're expecting absolute fluff/happiness in the end.
- Sacrifice - By Arigatomina
Summary: The Uchiha clan has to make peace with Konoha after years of enmity. To ensure the truce, they hand over one of their own.
My Comments: Wow, wow and wow. This fic goes above and beyond for merely two chapters of plot. I find myself craving more and loving the uncomfortable atmosphere Arigatomina's crafted between the two, as well as find it utterly IC. While it might be an AU (in a sense), I can't help but feel the rightness of it when breezing through the chapters. I sincerely hope the author continues this fic, because despite it's somewhat cliche roots, it's turning out to be amazingly engaging.
- Repercussions - By
kaikouken
Summary: It's in the middle of Fire and Wind that Naruto finds solace, a home. Where he finds a guy that's supposed to be dead and claims to be his father.
My Comments: Finally! A SasuNaru fic that is not *just* about the relationship between the two, but actual, three-dimensional characters that are included in the story and help the plot move forward. I'm absolutely loving this story, and I'm not a very big Yondaime fan, either! I find myself wanting more, and feeling the urge to poke the author in hopes of getting a chapter sooner >D A fic not to be missed.
- I Think I - By TooDarnLazy
Summary: Sasuke is brought back to Konoha after an unsuccessful clash with Itachi, where he is faced with the choice of rotting in prison where his seed will be taken from him to produce Sharingan babies, or... marry the dobe.
My Comments: Probably the only girl!Naruto fic I can stand, let alone rec, if you're so inclined. The story, so far, is proving interesting, and even the OC's the author has created are much loved by me :D - The Night World: Immortal Affliction - By dragon_agility
Summary: Sasuke, a lonely vampire who lives only for revenge, sees humans as prey to be used for his own twisted desires. Naruto, a lonely human with past experiences he'd rather forget, lives a normal, quiet life. That's all about to change...
My Comments: The only vampy!fic I can stand, let alone want to read continuously. The author has been slow on the updates, but I'm always hoping she'll get a new chapter out so that I can continue to enjoy what she has to offer :) - For Your Pride and My Promise - By
ft_sama
Summary: It’s said that if you separate the Vessel from the Keeper, all hell will break loose. It’s only natural that Hell not only breaks loose, but spills over when the Vessel and Keeper awake to find they were separated for over a hundred years.
My Comments: Original, engaging, and beautifully written. For me, Sakura and Gaara in this fic, although not the main pairing, are brilliant and I absolutely love their characterizations. TOTAL WIN.
- Beauty in the Breakdown - By
phoenixdown7
Summary: Sometimes it only takes a moment for life to change and priorities to be put into perspective. For Naruto, it only took one mistake and a little help from Kyuubi to transform his life entirely. For better or worse.
My Comments: Yes, yes, and yes. Probably the ONLY M-Preg in the SasuNaru fandom that has been done the *right* way, without girly characterizations or an overused plot concept that so often finds itself into M-Preg fic plots. This fic is made of utter WIN, and even if you're not a M-Preg fan, the plot is brilliant, the characters canon, and the emotion is raw and *believable*. Do *not* skip this one, because you will most definitely regret it. - Fox Magic- By
akaitsume
Summary: Desperate for the power to defeat his brother, Sasuke unleashes a blue eyed being beholden to the Uchiha family...and gets far more than he bargained for.
My Comments: Though I beta this gem in the fandom, I can't help but rec it, rec it and then rec it some more. I'm in utter ecstasy reading it and discovering every new plot twist and adventure this fic takes me on with every new chapter. Don't let the 'genie' aspect of the fic fool you--hidden beneath what seems like a cliche is an original, emotional and character-driven plot that will leave you craving more :) Don't miss this one XDD
