I think so! You just might not get all the Easter eggs but it’s a complete story on its own.

“I just want you to give me a chance,” Naruto says, not quite pleading but not quite assured either. “I get that shit went really wrong, I really do. You deserved a lot better.”
Sasuke makes a derisive sound in the back of his throat at that.
“You did,” Naruto asserts, reading Sasuke’s response for exactly what it is: self degradation. “You do. And you definitely deserve better than me, but I really want you to give me a chance anyway because I’m selfish as fuck. What if it could be the best thing ever? What if we’re perfect for each other? What if we’re soulmates?”
“Naruto,” Sasuke pleads and covers his face with his hand in shame. He’s shaking his head, and Naruto dares to come closer but doesn’t reach out or try to touch him. “You are certifiable. Why are you doing this?”
A short, humorless laugh. “Come on, Sasuke. You know why. You’re really gonna make me spell it out?”
“Why here? Why now?” Sasuke groans. The brick bites into his shoulder blades as he feels himself letting it hold his weight up.
“What the hell else was I supposed to do?” Naruto scoffs. He makes familiar, animated gestures with his hands as he rants. “You’re like trying to grab a wet bar of soap, you slippery bastard. Can’t find you anywhere on the internet, can’t find your number anywhere, can’t get you to stay in one place long enough to get to you in time before you run the hell off.”
“It’s almost like I didn’t want to be found."

i finished writing lessons of limerence which came out to a total of 133k words (pending an epilogue) and now i don't know what to do with myself. i want to write but how?? ive already poured my soul into a 300 page google doc and now what am i supposed to do?? WRITE SOMETHING ELSE? that would feel like having an affair.
I really think teen boy (and twenty year old still insane loverboy) Naruto in your fic would be moved by “Chemistry” by Gigi Perez. I’ve been listening to it today and grinning thinking about him. #1 mentally unwell loverboy of all time, he’d be twirling his hair and sighing dreamily when she says “I won’t tell a soul about our secret life” while pining over why Sasuke stubbornly refuses to abandon his morals and go to prison
I sat here laughing out loud about this for a good solid minute. He literally said he would kept it a secret 😭 Like sir do you want to have to see your boyfriend through conjugal visits.
Thanks for the song rec -- I'm adding it to the fic playlist ❤

They lie side by side and talk, the tiniest bit tipsy and the tiniest bit more giddy, as they look at the stars. The sounds of the ocean as their ambience, they talk in constellations and roadmaps, changing and crossing paths but never meeting a dead end.
His left hand finds Naruto’s right, and then Naruto interlaces their fingers.
When Naruto’s fingertips brush cool, silver metal, he turns to look at Sasuke.
Sasuke is already looking at him with wide eyes, taking in as much light as he can to see Naruto’s face more clearly. Naruto turns the ring on Sasuke’s finger, feeling all the way around the entire circumference. Lingering over the stone, flush and barely distinguishable from the metal band.
Converging without a word, Naruto pulls Sasuke into his arms and holds him like something spun from glass.
They build up slowly, the trickle of grains of sand to the bottom of an hourglass. Naruto makes him forget they don’t have all the time left in the world, as if there is no linear concept of time in the circle of Sasuke’s arms, between the softness of his thighs, deep inside his silken heat. Savoring the tastes, relishing in the sounds.
Naruto spends an impossible amount of time winding Sasuke up, easing him open, until he blossoms like the dewy pink petals of a rose after a rainstorm. He kisses, teases, pushes and pulls, until Sasuke’s cries become nearly anguished and his back arches and every tremble of his body pleads for more. Until he no longer even knows if he’s begging for Naruto to give him relief or to never stop. Naruto presses touches and kisses into Sasuke’s skin like worship, as if basking in the divinity he finds in every sacred inch of skin.
And when at last Naruto cradles Sasuke’s leg in the crook of his arm and pushes inside, he whispers his praise with reverence, anointed in the affinity of their bodies. He holds Sasuke until he’s no longer scared of being tossed from the edge of the cliff, shielding him from the wind and the rain and the thunder. Sasuke is held, rocking delicately on the surface, cradled and loved and kissed without a single fear of falling under.

I love your sasunaru fanfic but I'm too shy too say it publicly. Thank you for your writing
Awwh well thank you, I really appreciate you reaching out even though I know it was nerve wracking for you. I hope you enjoy the rest ❤ Only 2 more chapters to go
Seven years ago, being the object of Naruto’s affections had felt smothering, uneasy, riddled with a sense of impending doom at how they would inevitably fall together. Now, it’s as vast and deep as the sea, calm and drifting so easily, so warm under the radiant sun and cool beneath the surface.

I’ve got your back, and though it’s stacked against us
I’ve got your hand, it’s us against consensus
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is I’ll protect you til the day I meet my maker
So don’t fight me now cause you might need me later

So I actually sketched this at 5 AM after reading Solace by raincloudfedarie (only after I had wiped all my tears because THIS FANFIC IS JUST SO FULL OF EMOTION 😭😭😭) anyway, please read the motherfuckin fanfic because I CANT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE HOW SOFT SASUKE IS IN THAT uwu ❤️❤️❤️
most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

Idk where to talk about this, so I'm just gonna do it here where it's quiet. Sometimes the process of transitioning between fandoms can be so lonely. I've been in and out of so many different fandoms since... probably around 2006? Maybe even earlier. I'll get really excited about a fandom, try to join in, contribute with the only content i know how to do, which is write.
And then when I inevitably move on from the fandom and try to go somewhere else, it's like starting the whole process over of trying to find who to follow, what are the new tags and new topics to explore, where are the people who might want to chat about it. I'm old and I don't even know if people are on twitter (x?) or tumblr or reddit or what these days. I can't ever figure out how to really be a part of it, and I know it's kind of stupid to wish I could be. I guess it's a sense of fomo, like everyone else is a part of something and I'm just here being a big dork.
It's finished ; ;
I'm so emotional rn. I just finished writing the last chapter and I don't even know what to do with myself now. I hope it's everything it feels like it is. I would post it all and be done with it but my computer screen might incinerate my eyeballs if I try to proofread anymore today.
ANYHOO please check out my fic! It's still ongoing but I'm posting 1-2 chapters daily and it's finished so just a matter of getting it all updated!

Why read? Well let me tell you:
Naruto is a super hot beefcake who rides a motorcycle
Sasuke has a cute cat and struggles with feelings
Beachy island setting with lots of cute dates and flirting
Soon there will be smut. So much smut.
