Summary
"Orochimaru is free, and Sasuke's in a fucking cage."
~~~~~
Naruto doesn't want the arm Tsunade's cooked up for him. He can't stand the smell of meat. Every day brings new problems: food shortages, refugees, rising tensions between the nations. And of course...
He was supposed to save the world. He was supposed to be a hero.
How did things go so wrong?
Was it always like this?

Summary
Sasuke doesn't emerge from his fight with Itachi unscathed, or even alive. Revived as an Edo Tensei, he finds the second chance he never wanted, the answers he never got, and the peace he didn't know he needed.

Summary
"What are you saying?" Kakashi demands, distress turning his tone harsh. "That you don't know when he'll wake up?"
"I'm saying I don't know if he will."
When Itachi uses the Tsukuyomi on his brother that day in the hallway, he miscalculates. In the aftermath, Sakura and Naruto struggle with what it means to be a team and Kakashi sits by the bedside of a boy that might never wake.
A single misstep, and everything changes.

Summary
After the War, Sasuke is struggling: with the past, with Konoha, and with himself. He decides to go on a journey, one he hopes will bring him redemption and maybe some peace of mind.
Naruto isn't willing to let him go so easily, so he does the obvious: invite himself along.
While traveling across the lands, Naruto and Sasuke are forced to confront what lies between them. They make a lot of discoveries about themselves, their past, and their true feelings for each other.
Very slow burn, canonverse, Sasuke POV (he is an unreliable narrator at times, be warned!). Honestly my take on what should have happened at the end of the anime.

Summary
And it always sends chills down his spine, because it’s like her face has been stolen– and not by a spirit, just by time. Time and his own stupid, faulty memory. Because what kind of son can’t recall the face of his own mother?
Years after the war, Sokka's knee still hurts, and he still can't remember his mother's face. And nothing his world feels Right, even though he's exactly where he thought he'd be twenty years ago.
