    Summary

    Take the four-month PRO contract, Kakashi had said. It’ll be fun, Kakashi had said. Well—no, what had actually happened was that Kakashi had taken Sasuke out to a bar in downtown Gatineau, bought him two shots of tequila, and said, “Here’s the thing. PRO is hell and you’ll be more miserable than you’ve ever been in your life, but if you can tough it out then I can transfer you back to the NCR as a program officer no problem. I’m talking indeterminate position, salary bump, benefits, vacation, prospects for advancement, the whole package. Think on it, okay?”

    And now here Sasuke was—back in the NCR, mildly scarred from four months working under Kabuto—only to find his apartment uninhabitable, his relationship moving faster than anticipated, his out-of-touch manager even more out-of-touch than he remembered, and the future of his brand new indeterminate-with-benefits-and-vacations position hinging on the achievement of a successful BBB on his language test. And his Excel sheets, left for four months in Naruto's incapable hands? Don't even get him started.

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    It’s been almost three years since the end of the Fourth Shinobi War and two and half since Sasuke left Konoha for his journey of atonement.
    Within the peace he fought so hard for, Naruto has found himself wondering what happiness looks like for him. There’s an itch, a feeling under his skin that he's missing something, that he just can't shake.

    When he gets a letter from Sasuke saying that he’ll be home in two days with intel about Amegakure's new leadership, Naruto's routine is shattered--and maybe it's for the better.

     

    Or: a character study of two incredibly complex characters that are irrefutably in love with each other.

    Summary

    It's 1948 and P.I. Stan Marsh is tasked with the case of a lifetime: ensuring Chief of Police Eric Cartman never bothers anyone again. Begrudgingly, he seeks the help of young paralegal Kyle Broflovski. The pair soon realise that this is not going to be a clean, open-and-shut sort of case. It looks like this rot goes all the way to the core...

    Meanwhile, Tweek Tweak has been assigned one job: turn Cartman's cronies against him. In order to do that, he'll have to crack officer Craig's stoic outer shell. Is he prepared for what he might find within? Only time will tell...

    (This is an unofficial continuation of Deephurting's "South Park Confidential", written but never finished in 2016 - linked in the notes. It's a real treat to read, so I highly recommend you do! It shouldn't take you too long to catch up, it's only about 16k words :) Plus, this may not make a lot of sense if you don't, haha)
