Circling Horizon: Naruto Fanfiction Recommendations
Updated: 22 July 2006: One fic: Gen/AU. From Six by H.E. Gray.
Circling Horizon
Hey, just a few notes before you go on ahead. First of all, this is very much a list of fanfics I have liked, and more importantly they show signs of heavy bias towards yaoi fics. Of course, this is by no means a complete list, but hopefully you can find something to enjoy.
Also, read 'drabbles' to also mean 'ficlets' and 'short one-shots'. Long one-shots can be found under completed as well. I'm just lazy. If you're paying attention, you'll realise I use the 'misc' category for het-fics and yuri-fics. Also any threesomes that are mixed-gender.
Use the spade to come back to the table. Perhaps one day I will break this page up. Haha.
These fics are primarily from Fanfiction.net, Adultfanfiction.net, livejournals and livejournal communities.

Dirty Little Secrets by Hey-Diddle-Diddle [K+]
Summary: Konoha has its dirty little secrets. Iruka centric.
Fledgling by Moonsheen [K+]
Summary: Stand up, Hinata.
Speaking to Silence by Azamiko [K]
Summary: Naruto doesn't cry; he talks.
Works-in-progress
From Six by H.E. Gray [T]
Summary: Creating a jutsu is dangerous. Too bad an eleven year old Naruto didn't know that. AU, Naruto with MPD.
Comments: At the time of writing, this story is only 5 chapters in and it already has me hooked. A very original plot, and it is being followed through with dedication by the writer. I can only say go and read it, especially as its progression does and does not follow the canon. You'll have to read it to understand.
Losing Innocence by Asty [T]
Summary:An unknown orphan's childhood is brought into new light, and truths that lie under the surface are revealed. Questions answered, theories presented, connections made. Not an AU. Naruto centric.
Comments: Pay attention to the fact that it is not an AU. I very much like this fic for touching parts of the fandom that are usually ignored. Naruto's childhood, and how it may well have been.
One Hundred Years by the-bird-flies [K]
Summary: She lived longer than any of them, she carried their memories. And that was the hardest mission of all. Sakura-centric, from 1 to 100.
Completed
Comfort farm by Fuhrer [K+]
Summary: In Konoha, gossip travels fast. People say a lot. And sometimes, they're right.
Comments: A Jounin-centric fic that is spot on and reveals a little of how life in Konoha can be as a
Falter by iamzuul [T]
Summary:Even a person with the strongest convictions may feel themselves occasionally falter.
Ingress by iamzuul [K]
Summary: A thirteen year old Genma is having a problem with post traumatic stress. And the war isn't even over yet.
Ophidia by compagnie [R] (LJ)
Summary:There is more than meets the eye to the Uchiha Massacre. Demons do not lurk only in darkness, they live in daylight.
Comments: What can I say? I was hooked two paragraphs in by the writing, and then by the overriding need to figure out what was happening. The end-result is something so shocking that I literally gasped in surprise.
Technicolor by Asuka Kureru [T]
Summary: Angst. Sasuke always dreams his what ifs in technicolor. During the three years lull, no pairing, complete.
The Indirect Approach by The Sh33p [M]
Summary: On the eve of the Chuunin Exams, during his training with Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto is going to learn the hard way that some enemies just can't be beaten without use of a more... Indirect approach... .
Comments: I don't know how I came across it, but this is a great fic. Humour, twisty and sarcastic, full of hope, the bruises one gets from growing up, learning how to cope and everything.
Yaoi
NaruSasuNaru
Drabbles
Fächer by Fuyumiko-sama [T]
Summary: At the end of an opera one is supposed to clap.
Comments: Trippy, supernatural/mystery, dark, experimental, some german in between the lines. AU, I would say. SasuNaru, and if you squint, SasuSaku.
Hummingbird by Sunfreak [K+]
Summary: Shinobi folklore, unhappy duties, and life as an exercise in affection. SasuNaru, implied HinaNeji.
Works-in-progress
Attraction by gelfling ( LJ:tag attraction ) [NC-17]
Summary: SasuNaru, NaruGaara, slight KakaSasu, yaoi. Naruto embraces his demonic roots, and Sasuke's his 1 enemy and dream. Blood, DARK, angst, lime, non-fluff introspective. And a bag of chips. Push something too hard, and it will break or bite back.
Comments: The link is to the ff.net version, the uncensored parts are on LJ. It can be found on AFF, but at the time of writing it isn't my favourite place to go link-hunting. Now, what can I say about this fic? What I can say is that Attraction has it all, darkness, magic, adventure, action, angst and that reason we keep coming back - romance. Furthermore, the author is in complete control, at all times, and does not spare the detail.
Completed
A Red, Red Rose by iyo (LJ) [PG]
Summary: It's Sasuke reminiscing and thinking while he's being hunted down by Anbu from Konoha. Guess who's part of the Anbu team?
Comments: Dark, and a very interesting take on why Sasuke does what he does.
Just Friends by etyrnal_life (LJ) [NC-17]
Summary: Naruto and Sasuke mess around and fight and mess around some more. Lots of angst, h/c, implied Uchihacest and NaruSasu squishiness.
Juxtaposition by datenshiblue (LJ) [NC-17]
Summary:Takes place after Sasuke's (at the moment mythical) return to Konoha.
Koi by Kyudo reviews [T]
Summary: ”Your fish aren't very fun to look at in the rain.” Naruto stated quite spontaneously, before motioning towards the lake. Sasuke nodded in agreement. [Implied? SasuNaruSasu, ItaSasu]
Signals by greycolourgirl (LJ) [PG]
Summary: Sasuke slowly realises what Naruto is trying to tell him.
That Baka by matsutake [T]
Summary: Sasuke is adamant that he give in. Humour/Romance.

Demon of Sleep by Ellet [T]
Summary: Naruto fought demons, he bargained with them, he borrowed their power, he quelled them, comforted them, he submitted to their bloodlust, he conquered them. But there was still one trickster of a demon who plagued him eagerly.
Desert Storm by Keruri1 [NC-17]

Summary: I'm not pretending, brother. Insanity, is what you drove me to, so god damn it. Go on, hit me! SasukeItachi
Fair Play by nescione [K]
Summary: Life is intrinsically unfair. Kakashi and Yondaime, over tea and shougi.
The Hot Contractions in his Chest by sanguineus (LJ) [PG]
Comments: Sai upon hearing Naruto's impassioned words. Possibly implied NaruSasu and SaiNaru.
Works-in-progress

Favourite Sin by sarolynne (LJ) [NC-17]
Comments: Last time I checked, Naruto/Sasuke/Neji is like gold dust. This is a hot PWP that is very much out of the ordinary.
Step Too Far by sarolynne (LJ) [NC-17]
Comments: Neji/Naruto. Coming down from a mission high can require help.
That Smile by frodolass (LJ) [NC-17]
Summary: Romance, Angst (Hurt - no comfort). PWP. One-sided SasuNaru, and smexy lust-ridden GaaNaruSasu.
Unromantic by hinacha (LJ) [PG-13]
Comments: Neji/Shikamaru. Comedy and fluff as Shikamaru does his thing. Great rhythm.
You're Not Right by gelfling [M]
Summary: Yondaime x Kakashi, sexual & adult situations and language. Kakashi's shell-shock after Obito died, and his attachment to the Yondaime as a result. Not sappy or waffy, a bit gritty and slightly dark; mostly psychological. All 2nd POV, flow style.
Comments:One of those fics that I distinctly recall reading, it made that large an impact on me. Particularly as the pairing was most certainly outside my comfort zone. The writing is precise and controlled, couldn't ask for anything better.

Homecoming by postcognitive (LJ) [T]
Comments: Sasuke/Naruto/Sakura-centric. The writing style made this a nice treat.
The Art of Transformation by Volpa [R]
