A short one-shot I wrote because I saw a TikTok comment similar to the title

Start notes:

Hey so I've never written angst and honestly I just wrote this out of boredom, Demon Slayer fic coming soon stay tuned!

EDIT: I did add a few sentences cause I felt like it made the fic better

Fanfic:

(For a better reading experience, reader is recommended to listen to “Washing machine heart” by Mitski on loop)

As Hinata walks down the isle, all I can think about is, "How?" and, "Why?"

Call me stupid but I always thought I would be in her place. In a white tux, walking to the man that kept me awake ever since he kissed me one day when I was 13.

That wasn't our last kiss, it was the first of many actually.

Every single time he motivated me

Every single time he insulted me to try to prove he was better than me

Every time he haunted my dreams, after I ran away

Every time he didn't give up on me and looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his trying to take me home

Every time he kissed me after we were finally on the same side again

Every time we sl*pt together and told me I was, "the only one who could ever make him feel this way"

That was Bullshit wasn't it? Friends don't act like that, so they? Friends don't look at each other like they're the only person left in the world! Friends don't sl*ep with you and make you feel like the happiest person to ever exist in that moment!

Friends don't throw you away like trash on the street...do they?

And as I watch those two kiss I can feel that stupid redhead grinning cause we both lost, but at least I didn't get him. Gaara was always my love rival, I never expected Hinata to come out as the winner. He won too! He fucking won and he didn’t even get the guy!

As those two kiss I can feel that Naruto feels absolutely nothing. That could be the sound of my dreams of us getting married and adopt three kids shattering tho.

The only thing I can do now is give the Uchiha clan a new memeber.

Years later, as I look at Sarada in Sakura's arms for the first time in the hospital all I can do is wish that she would never experience the same kind of heartbreak I did.

That wish ,sadly, didn't come to true. As I watch Mitsuki walk towards Boruto on that same stupid isle, I glance over at Sarada going through the same pain I did. I then look at Naruto, smiling holding his wife's hand, the same hand that never stopped expl*ring my bo*dy in his office all this years, without an ounce of shame.

How can he even bare to look at Hinata after all the times he cheated on her with me? Am I not supposed to feel bad for Sakura while we do it? Have I just become some toy to him?

And as Mitsuki and Boruto share a kiss on the altar, the same thought crosses both my and my daughter's minds,

“Fuck the Uzumakis!”, for the tears they made us cry are shed by ourselves in silence, in the darkness of the night without anyone to console us.

End Notes:

I HATED slandering my boy Naruto

AND having to add straight angst at the end but it was worth it cause I love the end result.

Idk what to say- take these tragic gays

[moonwos]

Oii amo suas capas e sempre quis uma sua:) Você pode fazer uma narusasu pra doação, tendo como título alguma música nacional?

Sejamos justos

･.｡.:*･ pedido de capa por ask (14/12). Em caso de inspiração, dê os devidos créditos. Abra aí pra pegar uma melhor resolução, e é só me pedir pra adotar essa capinha cheia de drama ❄️

R: como a boa pagodeira que sou, peguei uma música antiguinha do finado Exaltasamba. É simplesmente a música que eu vivo colocando pra lavar louça. Sem contar que combina com os narusasu: "Não seria justo ficar do seu lado, ser tão bem tratado e viver por viver".

An Updated and Necessary NaruSasu FicRec Masterlist for 2025.

Ongoing fics:

I rarely read incomplete fics, but these were just irresistible.

1.The Baby Screams by trashygivenchy Sasuke hasn’t seen his childhood best friend—and the only person he’s ever truly been in love with—since they were eighteen; fourteen whole years ago. He has a wife and a successful career; he moved on, accepting he’d never see Naruto again. Until he finds himself in Naruto’s restaurant, confronted by his own devastating passivity.

- Pure desire, sexual tension, and regrets. Modern Setting, AU. I feel like the author kept them in character, but they've been able to add more to NaruSasu.

2. Through the lens by moonshine_dust Naruto Uzumaki never expected a routine school visit to change anything in his life. He was just there to give a safety talk, crack some jokes, and go back to his boring shift. But then he met Menma, a quiet kid with a camera. And when his mysterious, sharp-eyed father walks in, Naruto finds himself tangled in something he never saw coming. Between school drop-offs, accidental run-ins, and stolen snapshots, Naruto starts seeing a different side of Sasuke Uchiha—the devoted father, the tired man, the one he can’t seem to get out of his head. Maybe keeping the streets safe wasn’t the only thing worth protecting.

-

This one is just distilled sweetness. The idea of Sasuke as a parent may seem OOC, but the author clearly knows what they're doing. The writing and pacing are great, too. Also, Police Officer Naruto! 3.Beyond a Reasonable Doubt by slushyluvrr Naruto shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Nothing really. Passed by, saw you licking your coffee lid like some kind of feral animal, figured I’d stop in. ”Sasuke’s grip on the pen tightened. “I wasn’t licking it.” “You totally were.” “I was preventing a spill.” Naruto raised an eyebrow. “With your tongue?”

-

The description may not give you clues about the plot, but this is a Lawyer NaruSasu fic! They're old-time friends who split up and discovered each other once more when Sasuke goes back to town. The scenes are great, and there is something heartbreaking about them.

Please give all of these fics a read and a comment to encourage authors! I'm always amazed and grateful to be able to read this for free.

Complete fics:

1.After The World Fell Down by zephyras13 Naruto has been fighting a war for the life of his neighborhood for the past four years, with no end in sight. His world is violent, arbitrary, and ruthless, but it is simple. It makes sense. And then Uchiha Sasuke fucks everything up. SN EXCHANGE FIC. - This is my favorite SNS fic for many reasons. Fantastic worldbuilding, character descriptions, and fights! This is a true action-romance drama. Naruto is a tragic character, missing his old life before his city was invaded. The author managed to write a suffocating story with an added hopeful romance plotline. Please, please, read and give it love.

2. That Which Comes Easy by ShimaShips Naruto and Sasuke watch a movie about lost love. The resulting conversation brings up questions about the meaning of love and whether Naruto's feelings for Sasuke are really so brotherly after all. - A second favorite. Feeling realizations kind of fic, Non-AU, and canon divergent. It's sweet, nostalgic, and it respects it's characters.

3.Aftermath by CanineKitten Naruto is tired of seeing Sasuke leave again and again. This time he’s going with him. - A classic.

4.heart for brains by almostprimary A spray of champagne hitting the back of Naruto’s neck snaps him out of his thoughts. He turns towards the direction of fire, and standing behind the bottle is none other than Sasuke himself. “Distracted, Uzumaki?” he asks, a smirk growing wider on his face. Something hot flares up inside of Naruto, a unique brand of rage that only surfaces when Sasuke is around. He wants to wipe that smirk right off of Sasuke’s face. Naruto, shiny new Scuderia Ferrari driver and Sasuke Uchiha, Red Bull Racing driver and Naruto's sworn rival, compete for the Formula One World Driver's Championship. - This is another one of my constant re-reads. I love it when stories show and don't tell, and I think this is one of those authors who manages to convey their intentions through scenes.

5.homesick for a mountain's song by kintou

This one doesn't need a description because it's a LITERARY CLASSIC. But if there's a poor soul who hasn't read it, do yourself a favor.

6.No One is Coming by wedonotsow

In the bleak winter on the frontline there was only dark skies, the smell of gunpowder, unrelenting snowfalls, and the enemy. Thankfully, there was also Sasuke.

Military and Modern AU. Narusasu. TW for brief knife violence and dark themes. - It's PAINFUL to notice this fic being overlooked for so long. Where do I start? Although it is tragic and realistic in a painful way, this short story captures SNS's appeal and love amid a war. It mixes canon themes with its own version of Konoha.

7. Come Spring by Panlock

Four times Sasuke doesn't express his feelings and the one time he does. Every time he looks at Naruto it's like this. There are so many things he wants to say but he always bites his tongue. He never shows his hand. A few times he has put words on paper but these messages were always destroyed before anyone could know their secrets. Those words are clawing at his throat right now, demanding to be set free.

-

Must experience this read with no spoilers or information. Sorry.

8.your love is sunlight by frogsterz

“Does it make you sad?” Sasuke murmured, voice barely louder than the din of the restaurant. “That there’s nothing left of our childhood. How many times can you rebuild the city you lost before it’s no longer the city you love?”

“Endlessly,” said Naruto at once.

(Unsuited to post-war peace, Uzumaki Naruto is waiting for something to happen in his life again. Enter Sasuke.)

-

Annd this is another one of my favorites. I've read it three times since it was published, and I always discover more things to love about it. It is painful; the longing and melancholy can be read through the author's words. Ugh! I fucking love it.

9. everything rough by youngamerican

The first thing that Sasuke says to Naruto after four years is, “I knew they would send you.” The first thing Naruto says to Sasuke after four years is, “You’re an asshole.” - I like it when fics have action scenes, and this one will entertain and fix our broken hearts after that terrible fever dream of an ending.

10.When spring comes by blushyfreckles

“Say, Naruto…what sort of flowers would you give your girlfriend?”

Naruto blinked, his hands tucked lazily behind his head as he shuffled his legs. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Why are you asking him, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend —“ Kiba’s obnoxious response came right away, without letting Naruto reconsider the question coming from Shikamaru, who scratched at his neck, peeved, his overwhelmed attitude of someone who wasn’t used to gifting women, or gifting anyone for that matter.

Naruto huffed, and turned to Kiba, falling back easily into his provocative remarks and Choji’s nonchalant agreement, while shoving another thin piece of chip into his mouth. “I don’t have a girlfriend yet, but I know damn well enough what women would like unlike you —“

-

This one is short, and so so so sweet. This is an author who clearly knows what they're doing, and I feel like they know Sasuke's character too well, and can capture his essence in a few words. READ EVERYTHING MADE BY THIS AUTHOR!

11. Beneath the Surface by Charlotteee12

The case was simple.

On paper, anyway. Maison Mizūmi, an ultra-exclusive, high-end ryokan nestled in the middle of nowhere, had racked up a string of missing guests over the last month. No leads, no bodies, just eerie vanishing acts. The only pattern? Every guest had checked in as part of a couple.

So here they were. Naruto and Sasuke. Undercover.

As a couple. - This one is a breath of fresh air and just fun fun fun to read. It is a detective AU series, but I haven't read the rest of the fics.

12.A quiet life with you by blushyfreckles

I won't paste the description! Go read EVERYTHING made by blushyfreckles. This human being can narrate a tragic backstory with a few scenes and gives us readers a ton to the imagination.

13. The night is brighter around you by blushyfreckles

I won't paste the description! They are my favorite author, and their writing is subtle, romantic, and deep. I think it's an intense fic encapsulated in a small package. It's a character study and shows, in my eyes, a great understanding of Naruto and Sasuke's relationship. Ugh!! Do yourself a favor and read it.

14. phototaxis by mockingbird_mb

Naruto's hand stays there, hidden by the underside of the table, scorching through the fabric. Neither of them react to it, at least outwardly. So when his fingers scrape gently along the inside of Sasuke’s thigh, it’s like nothing’s happened. Nothing is happening. Nothing ever happens.

-

This one hurts in all the right ways. Human characters with guilt and self-sabotaging behaviors that feel real, relatable, and faithful to canon, with a twist.

15. Five Star Hotels. by trashygivenchy

But Sasuke stopped lying to himself a long time ago, when Naruto uppercut the shit out of him and softly insisted for the millionth time that they were friends with a claim on each other’s pain, despite the missing arms, especially with the missing arms.

The arrangement was nice because of Naruto. He came back to Konoha each time for Naruto and Naruto alone.

Then Naruto went and got a girlfriend.

-

This one made me feel like I was a voyeur watching something unfold (and I shouldn't have, lol). This is yearning personified.

16. before you leave again by moonlithic

Naruto has been in love with Sasuke for years. Even though Sasuke was constantly gone, his feelings never went away.

He kept it to himself. Until this time.

- Just, excellent. Lovely writing. Healing. Skin-cleansing. Revitalizing. Amazing. Beautiful. Realistic.

17. Fate, Don't Fail Me Now by RosaLui (Restricted)

The twin suns rose. Scorched the sand below. Set.

Naruto Uzumaki wore his clothes thin, fixed his droids with callused hands, and brought himself to school. Failed out. Applied to the Academy. Failed out of that too. Worked. Sweated. Stared at the binary stars and dreamed that he was meant for more, for better, than dying here.

-

I am a firm beliaver that we need more AU fics in this fandom. This is a StarWars inspired fic, and it was COOL af. Very sensual too.

18.Long, Long Shall I Rue Thee (a translation) by snowypreyer

"Death comes in phases."

-

This is another one of my top SNS fics. I felt like I was reading an award-winning novella all throughout. The author was immensely creative and decided to narrate Narusasu's story via another character. It is subtle, smart, and heartbreaking, but overall, it is beautiful.

19.Pyretos by Atanih88 (Restricted) Sasuke came to stand closer. Naruto watched him, taking in the easy strides and the way Sasuke’s face remained devoid of expression as he took in Naruto’s wounds.

-

Holy fuck. Tension. Slowburn.

20. where you go, i'm going by anntea

It's been years since Sasuke ran away from Konoha, years since he left the orphanage and his best friend behind. The last thing he wants to do is go back, but he does.

-

Just. Stunning. Modern AU replica (or retelling?) of their stories in canon. Loss. Pain and Longing. 21. The Gaijin and the Rōnin by KoeblDvd

In feudal Japan, Sasuke Uchiha encounters a mysterious man who aids him in navigating the political turmoil of the impending Shogunate.

-

Based on the 6th ending, where they're Samurai. 22. Nescit Cedere by cupricanka If you need someone to save your baby, Naruto is your guy. He, after all, doesn’t know how to give up.

-

It is mostly horror, but the underlying romance complements the creepiness and impact of the fic. The characters are fantastic and well-written. Don't read if you're prone to nightmares. 23. homeward by mnee

Sasuke returns to Konoha.

Or, more accurately, to Naruto. - God. I feel like writing my opinion would mean spoiling this fic. This fic is INTENSE, brutal, hopeful, sweet, delicate, and artistic. This is one of the authors you can use to post deep quotes on Instagram, lol.

---------------------

Ok, folks, this is all. Again, I insist you give these authors much love by commenting and leaving kudos, since they've most likely put their most creative efforts and knowledge into these stories. Although some of my descriptions are short, I believe all the fics posted here are amazing and worth reading. Reblog to shareeee.

sasuke to naruto, set sometime during the blank period.

when i was with you i started to understand what itachi felt. I can't go a day without these vivid memories of his betrayal consuming me. at that age it was worse i couldn't control them couldn't predict them they surrounded me like- remember haku, that technique he did with the mirrors that would surround you at every angle . My mind was like that constantly, but only one mirror showed my reflection. if i look to the left, its my parents to the right, its itachi its the same every direction, every single mirror is a different memory from that day. they were always in my peripheral, and there was nothing i could do but to turn horrified circles round and round like i was that kid again who had no choice but to watch every last breath leave them. I lied to myself, said these visions motivated me to become stronger, but they just stalled me in a unbearable cycle of grife.

when we were kids, the more time i spent with you, and sakura,and kakashi, the images in the mirrors started to change. you all reminded my of a time where my helplessness was not an empty plea but a exciting opportunity. i would look at you, the image in front if me, looking up to me, so determined to outdo me, to impress me. to my left was a memory of the time when itachi and i sat out on the engawa watching sun setting beyond the wall that separated the compound from the village. my head in his lap after petulantly complaining about our fathers high expectations, he said to me that evening,

'i'll always be there for you, even if its just as a barrier for you to overcome'

thats what made motivated me, my own little brother. it used to make you so angry when i would jump in to protect you and sakura but i wasn't just showing off. I felt like if i was your barrier then i owed you better than he did me. so when i would try and protect you and fail, i felt the failure so deeply. i didn't know how to protect you i could only make it worse, and as it happened again and again i begin to wonder,

is this how he felt. did the failure ache in his bones too, could Itachi possibly regret-

i couldn't live with that thought, the failure, and the newfound understanding of my brother. there is no reality where i could have stayed here, even if Orochimaru had never targeted me, i would have left. i needed to remove Itachi from my life in every way and that meant leaving you behind too, i couldn't fail you like he failed me.

so, I've been cooking up a blank period fic for a little while now and i wanted to share this blurb its just a block of dialogue but i hope you liked it! this was partially inspired by this incredible fanart by @cloudabserk because its been stuck in my head since i first saw it 🥲

OMG sasuke sending a messenger hawk with just the singular word "congratulations" for naru and hinas wedding. im ded. that so fucking funny. especially when the entire plot of the last five episodes has been "who can get the best most heartfelt present for the naruhina wedding" 😂

NARUTO x BLEACH

[stantheanomaly]

Naruto-kun when life gave you lemons you wasted no time in whining about their sourness. You made instant lemonades. It simply can't be a coincidence, your birthday being on 'world mental health day'.

Your existence is therapy. For generations. There was a time when you were standing on the other side of the world than the world around you. Devoid of love, empathy, and hope. So you became their very embodiment. Your smile, Naruto-kun, is warmer, brighter, and more vigorous than the burning star.

I've spent more time with you than with my friends. I've grown old with you. I've seen you cry to sleep. And the very next day smile like nothing hurts.

In the face of despair you'd always dig deeper, searching for the strength to overcome it. In you, I saw myself. Perhaps because I've learned more about life from you than all the books and degrees I've finished. ( I say 'finish' because it's not a guarantee I'll end up being more smarter/better AFTER than I was before. Make it make sense!)

You gave me the courage to dream audaciously. Dreams larger than the blue sky that envelopes us. Dreams that made everyone doubt me. Laugh at me.

Everytime I was affected by their laughter and cheers, I went back to you. And like a guardian angel you set me back on the right path like I was never lost. You taught me to 'Believe in myself when nobody did. Especially when nobody did.'

You taught me 'Dreams do come true' - the first step towards your dream is to believe. In the dream. In yourself. You made me believe in my flaws.

When Zabuja said 'your words cut deeper than any blade'. I cried. Your words cut through the chains that were binding my heart and set it free.

And gave me wings to fly off and reach for my destiny. Your words became my saviour. My refuge. You, Naruto-Kun, became my hero and saved me when I didn't even know I needed saving.

I'll stop now, I don't want to make Lady Hinata jealous. And the worst, pissed. But before I go, I want you to know, in my loneliness, you were my only friend, the only one who guided me out of that dark place I was in, and for that, I'll always owe you everything. Believe it.

[diinastie]

Hey, I’m just here to make some recommendations for the Naruto fandom 👋🏼

If I can recommend a naruto fanfic it’s will be this one :

In good company by Weialala on AO3

She has that and so much more :

- centered on sasuke

- with a bit of sasuke/naruto

- Sakura well written

- an incredible relationship between kakashi and sasuke

- humor (you're going to cry with laughter)

- angst (absolutely a lot, you're going to cry period)

She is sincerely incredible, one of the best stories I've read (I started on Wattpad when I was 11 and I went through fanfiction.net before arriving here (ao3)and I'm now 22 😭😭)

Really incredible I recommend it so much

Angst for you

I Would Never

Chapters: 1/1 Author: DragonDaydream Fandom: Naruto Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto Summary: Naruto and Sasuke have always argued over extremely pointless things, and of course after they both had a trying day things get a little heated in a petty fight over some annoying habits. After an innocent gesture triggers a bad memory for Sasuke and a dark secret from his past comes to light, Naruto is overcome with heartbreak over it and he swears he would never in his life hurt the man he loves.

Two cents:

Warning for implied past abuse (Not between main pairing). I feel like I was put into this world knowing this story - THAT'S how long I have cherished it. Short but sweet. Definitely, something I reread every now and again, and will continue doing so for many years to come. I particularly appreciate the depiction of an escalating argument and how this tension can be broken so quickly. One of those stories I wish I could read for the first time once more.

Summary: Naruto continued forward until he felt his knees give out. He stumbled to the ground and tried to keep himself upright but it was no use. Footsteps rushed toward him and he rolled over to see Hidan approaching. His furious expression promised nothing short of murder. He looked like he’d walked straight out of a nightmare. Naruto scooted back pathetically but froze instantly when Hidan pointed the silver revolver at him. This was it. It was finally over. “I’ll make it quick,” Hidan said gently as he panted above him. “And I’ll be right behind you.” Naruto gazed up at the slate blue early morning sky. Everything was silent. His eyes slipped closed and when Hidan cocked the hammer back and the sharp metal clink reached Naruto’s ears, he didn’t even flinch. Or… Naruto struggles to break free of his his toxic, abusive relationship and tries his hardest to put his life back together. He meets a tall, handsome, dark-haired stranger and as he slowly tries to move on from his past, Naruto’s demons reappear with a deadly vengeance.

I completely loved this story. The writing style is beautiful and everything I wish I had, the characters are believable and their interactions are very well done. The angst is top notch and the sasunaru is just *chefs kiss*.

It's set in a modern time, with themes of stalking, domestic violence, abuse, and a few lemons sprinkled in so it is more of a heavy topic, but the work is incredible.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

In which Sasuke, after the 4th Great Ninja War, whilst on a mission, realises that being away from Naruto devastates him both mentally and phisically.

So he made up his mind: he's gonna get him back.

But they both aren't kids anymore.

[trista-my]

headcanon

Okay, I will say something thats really on my head these days

Sasuke was the one who realises he fell in love with Naruto in their teens, he fell first. He needed to kill him kill the bond severe this love and we all know he couldn't

Okay

But Naruto? Obsessed. Crazy. Love driven literally made everything for Sasuke, kneeled down in the snow begging powerful people to not hurt sasuke, had a panic attack in the same occasion, proposed double suicide (idk if you guys know but that's fucking romantic) and are even soulmates

Naruto seems to have "fell harder" but I think Naruto Went all this way saying "he doesn't need to love me back, I just need him back home, that's e enough "

And then, when he finally takes Sasuke back... they are both traumatized and Sasuke went away but always comeback and Naruto Kinda of... accepts it?

Seeing Sasuke once In a while in peace is better than nothing so yeah. " You made enough Naruto. "

And thats why I think Naruto moved on, liked someone else, mourned his love, created a family.

And Sasuke stays behind, because its too late.
