Title: Wild is the Honour by SaturnaIia
Canonverse… friends to lovers.
I enjoyed it. Both Naruto and Sasuke are alphas (as I honestly think they both should be) yet they are still, against their instincts, attracted to each other.
A few grammatical errors but nothing too distracting.
Great one shot!

Title: Sunbursts by Sieges
This story doesn’t really have a plot but it is still awesome.
The setting is canonverse. The forth great shinobi war has ended. Konoha is being rebuilt. It’s a time of peace. Kakashi is hokage. Naruto and hinata are planning their wedding. Sasuke and sakura are pretty good friends (dare I say close friends) and nothing more.
Upon completion of his prison sentence, Sasuke is released on the condition that he must remain loyal to the hokage. Uzumaki seals are placed on the both wrists to ensure this. Betrayal results in his death. He knows and naruto knows that the seals are unnecessary because sasuke is unconditionally loyal to Naruto who he anticipates will succeed Kakashi as hokage. They are the only ones who think that way about the seals though. Sasuke did, after all, try to kill Naruto a couple times well.
There isn’t a drop of overt sasunaru in the story but I still really enjoyed it. The author does a fantastic job of keeping the boys in character in my opinion. The boys both seem like the type to not want to dive deep into their feelings or ask pertinent questions that may lead to answers they aren’t yet ready to hear and that’s exactly what they do here. If felt canon because as a reader, you know what’s going on and you also know that they are both in denial/slow on the draw. The fic is refreshing in that way.
In the end, Naruto ran away from his problems and ran towards (stalked actually) Sasuke who was out of Konoha doing a six month mission.
This fic can definitely use a sequel just to tell how things develop. That sequel will likely have a lot of unpacking because of Naruto’s actions though.
It was a good read. Nothing memorable/remarkable takes place and that is great because I was able to enjoy it ‘de novo’ for a second time since I almost didn’t remember having read it before.

Summary
"The jutsu will seal everything a ninja has ever learnt. It'll be like him getting a blank slate," Tsunade folded her hands and leaned forward to rest her chin against her knuckles, "Tabula rasa."
In which, Sasuke's memories are temporarily wiped after the war as part of his incarceration.
Slow burn, friends to lovers, alternate ending, fix-it fic

Title: Tabula Rasa
This was a story had some feels. Not heavy feels like KinomiAkai but feels nonetheless.
It explores a scenario where sasuke’s memories (remember he would have essentially ’learnt’ to be a ninja), specifically, ALL his memories related to being a ninja have been sealed and as a result, those who he met through ninja training, he has also forgotten. One might describe his state as a type of TEMPORARY amnesia.
He’s basically placed under house arrest in a fairly remote cabin that’s somewhere in the forest outside of Konoha with naruto as his ward.
Altho, he doesn’t remember naruto, what makes this story so incredibly wonderful and heartwarming is sasuke falls for naruto all over again. It was like he experienced these feelings without really knowing the history that lead to their existence. It was just so lovely to read. Because sasuke's ninja related memories were erased, the strong sense of hatred was removed, the walls that he usually kept up were down. He was just so open, unguarded, honest and talkative with naruto.
Ofc, it was through Naruto’s interaction with this amnesiac sasuke that he realized his feelings for his best friend and ofc, because this sasuke was so much LESS of an asshole he felt safe to confess. It was just great. The confession scene wasn’t as emotionally arousing as the confessing scene in chapter 28 of The Sun Within You but it was still great.
the intention was, once a verdict was reached on sasuke’s case, the temporary amnesia would be reversed and all memories gained during the amnesiac state would be permanently lost. He spent about 2 months in that cabin with naruto falling in love then kissing and loving him. It was crazy. Imagine the heartbreak when the amnesia is removed and the real frigid standoffish sasuke returns! 😍

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.

11/18/23: chapter 8
Title: Shall We Die
I’ve read the first eight chapters and i must say that I’m enjoying it. It’s Sasuke centric.
The story began with the truth about the Uchiha massacre coming to light and Sasuke serving a much reduced sentence (more like 2 year ‘house arrest’ with Naruto as his guard) as a result.
Although very little detail was revealed about what Sasuke and Naruto got up to during those two years, the author still managed to capture, very acutely, Sasuke’s urgency to leave on the very first day after the end of his 2 year life with Naruto.
So, as the author prepared us for, despite all the insanely heavy feels and a heart felt sad love confession scene, Sasuke left Konoha and the real story began.
Three chapters in and I’m really interested to know where this will go and I’m curious to read about how Sasuke will find his way back to Naruto.

This is great retelling of the tale of Naruto with an A/B/O twist.
