Rec: Cord of Life (Naruto)
Story: Cord of Life
Author: iluxia
Fandom: Naruto
Genre: Angst, Drama, Divergence
Pairing/Character: Sasuke/Naruto
Summary: When Sasuke finally offers to return to Konoha, Naruto turns him away. Picks up post-Itachi/Sasuke battle.
Squeeing: I tend to like Sasuke/Naruto which is about the crack, but sometimes I want to see something that focuses on the ties that bind them - and this piece delivers. If, for some reason Naruto ever decided Sasuke wasn't worth it, that doesn't mean Sasuke would also let go. This is an angsty fic, but told well.
Excerpt: “Naruto is done with you, Sasuke-kun,” her voice doesn’t tremble, but her fingers do shake. “He won’t be chasing after you any longer. I think it’s about time he stop. He’s already given so much, and you’ve already shown how much you aren’t worth it.”
