Summary
Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.
So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

Summary
Sasuke and Naruto had both signed up for the company at the age of eighteen, each filled with a desire to explore the stars. Neither of them anticipated falling in love along the way, nor did they foresee the challenge of navigating their feelings alongside whatever cosmic horrors the universe chose to unleash upon them on any given day.

Summary
Sasuke was pondering upon the haphazardly strewn paperbacks across the floor and whether he would leave it for another day when a very sharp and very loud “Hello?” suddenly rang through the room.
There was a yellow-haired boy leaning over the counter yodelling away.
Sasuke cut him a glare as he made his way to the desk. “Libraries are supposed to be quiet.”
“Oh, right—sorry,” the boy mumbled sheepishly. He looked around Sasuke’s age—maybe younger, considering his lack of basic library etiquette. “I was just looking for—um, a book. Can you help me?”
“That’s what I’m paid below minimum wage to do,” Sasuke replied drily.

Alternatively: Sasuke takes up a job as a librarian over the summer break.

Summary
The Good Stuff Coffee Joint became Sasuke's paradise, his true oasis.
It was his sanctuary every morning, sometimes twice on really grueling shitty days. Each time he would enter hearing the little ring ring, it was like music to his ears, and when he took his first sip, hot damn, it was like crack... or voodoo or some shit. His always tense (to his mother fucking ears) shoulders would relax, would melt like butter in a hot pan.
No one bothered him, and no one was too loud.
It was perfect...
until a moron decided to break that peace smashing it into a million pieces.
Or
All his life, Sasuke wanted to be a gangster...
Who knew blue eyes would stop him cold in his tracks.Set in the 50s/60s, comes with heavy Mafia vibes.
Please read warnings before reading the one shot. Thank you!Series

Summary
One day at a time, they always said. But for Sasuke every single day was exactly the same: serving the same gruff truckers the same greasy pancakes and eggs, heading to the same gym to do the same workout, going home to stare at the same half-formed Final Draft document, then waking up the next morning to do the same thing all over again. Was that really one day at a time, or was it more like one single hellish stretched-out day that dragged on endlessly and forever? And what exactly was the point of staying clean when that was your reward?
Everybody told Naruto after Sakura called off their engagement that what he needed was a “fresh start.” Naruto’s fresh start had so far consisted of a new city where he knew nobody, a park ranger job that paid him sub-minimum-wage, an empty studio apartment in a part of town not yet gentrified enough to be out of that price range, a lot of lonely Skyping with his friends, and, now, apparently, an A.A. meeting at a Quality Inn.
--
When Naruto moves away from his hometown after a breakup, he's surprised to see someone he recognizes at his first A.A. meeting in a new city: his childhood best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.

Summary
Fighting had been expected, but being outnumbered three to one had not. Crown Prince Naruto stays on the front line for hours, brandishing his sword against man and mage alike. He fights hard, but when he finally turns from the field there's only one thing on his mind. What had become of his chief mage? The giant purple illusion of a warrior had sputtered from existence far earlier than it was meant to, and Naruto's attention had been torn between the battlefield and the fate of his childhood friend ever since.
Few would dare enter the tent of the eclectic mage, but Naruto refuses to leave Sasuke's side, not until he opens his eyes once more. 'Alone' in the tent, his feelings for the other man catch up with him.

Summary
It starts with a bad hair day and a night shift - and nurse Naruto, fueled by caffeine and instant ramen, trying to survive it. Then a new resident shows up: Dr. Uchiha Sasuke, brilliant, cold-eyed, and clearly not okay.
Sasuke is a depressed doctor, fighting his way back from addiction. Naruto is tired but trying to believe in care that goes deeper than protocol.
As with all my writing, this story carries a strong dose of social critique, inspired by my love for leftist literature and everyday resistance.
This story began as a one-shot written after a night shift but has grown into an ever-expanding alt-universe full of quiet intimacy, hospital politics, class tension, and queer tenderness.

Summary
The idea that you'll die if he doesn't love you back isn't very romantic in reality. Naruto's forced to realise that truly unconditional love is a scary, ugly thing - then again, Sasuke might be too damaged to handle any other kind.
