ok do you have any naruto fic recs? for some reason i’m having a hard time finding good ones 😭😭

My man I have so many! I will share some favorites that may work as a nice entryway to General Nart Fanverse—they’re mostly friendship focused, have impeccable writing, and have made me fall in love with the characters far beyond their portrayal in canon.

Also, I enjoy stories that deal a lot with characters learning to process their feelings and Ninja Trauma™, so if that isn’t your thing then you might wanna move on!

What You Knead

In his pre-sensei days, Kakashi discovers baking bread as a healthy coping mechanism and becomes quite possibly the best version of himself

Pure team 7 found family serotonin, the highest grade, straight into ur blood

We’ll Make a Home Out of it

Naruto and Sasuke befriend as children and move in together and become each other’s family

Basically Therapy

And They Were Roommates

Same age Kakashi/Sakura, college AU

Banter-driven slow burn

Warm cozy friend dynamics among all the characters. Makes u yearn so hard

Hope Is But A Heartache

Madara won the war and Sakura is mysteriously sent back in time when Kakashi’s entire team was alive

Teenage Sakura (easily the best portrayal of her I’d ever read) befriends young Team Minato while figuring it all out

Eventual Kakashi/Sakura, though we’re still very far from any romance

Guilty Conscience

A therapeutic character study with Kakashi and Ibiki about the heavy guilt that underpins shinobi work

Murder colleagues looking out for each other and processing their emotions and baking christmas cookies

So, so good. Also the only short story in this list!

Kamui Blues

Around the time Kakashi started mangekyo-ing shit away in shippuden, he meets Obito in Kamui

Kakashi/Obito with FLAWLESS characterization

This fic is literally keeping me alive I am not exaggerating

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did, and please remember to leave the authors copious amounts of love!!!
