    Summary

    For years, Sasuke was driven by revenge, by hatred. Now he’s free from it all—and after getting pardoned, he doesn’t know what to do. There’s no need for him to live under the same roof with Naruto anymore, but he stays anyway. Both of them are suffering from their experiences, and only now do they have the time they need to come to terms with it all—and really get to know each other in the process. The road to recovery is long, even more so for someone like them.

    As the horrors of their pasts start to fade into the background, something new emerges, and it throws both Naruto and Sasuke on another journey of self-discovery.

    Summary

    Sequel to Intoxicate Me.

    Moving halfway across the world was no easy feat, but Sasuke is ready for his new journey to finally begin. This time, though, he would not undertake it alone, not like he had been before. This time, Naruto would be coming on the journey with him. As Sasuke adjusts to life away from all that he knew, he finds himself opening up to new experiences, and finally embracing his true self. Though his trauma remains and challenges still await him, Sasuke has found hope in his freedom, and most of all, because of the bright light that Naruto was to him.

    Summary

    What are you waiting for?
    I’d like to know.
    It’s August.

    Sasuke is back in the village, but to him, it'll never be "home" again. War, trauma, anger, and betrayal have made their home in him, and he's not sure how to properly be human anymore. But Naruto is fierce and glowing, soon to be Hokage and beloved by all, and Sasuke can't ever forget the loyalty and love he'd shown him through his worst mistakes. Even being a dark spectre in the village, clearly unwanted, Naruto makes him feel like there's something worth being alive for. Do those soft smiles and light touches mean something? Does Naruto's obsession with him go beyond his ideology? What does "friend" mean to him?

    A summer festival, things looming on the horizon, carnival games, nosy friends, and a man's desperate attempt to claw his way through his fire-and-rubble soul to make his heart heard.

    Summary

    Naruto sinks to his knees in front of Sasuke on the floor in the empty apartment. The cold November air seeps in through the open window that Sasuke hadn’t bothered to shut after it got dark, harsh fluorescent lights washing them in a sick glow, carving out every broken and maimed part of them and laying it in stark contrast.

    “Naruto,” Sasuke says, quieter this time. The tiredness that seems to live in his body now begins to crawl over him like hands pulling him under water. “Your Konoha is not the same as mine.”

    Or, as the years pass after the Fourth Great War, Sasuke struggles with the concept of love.
