    Summary

    Naruto wanted to impress the board and maybe get that corner office. Instead, he got Uchiha Sasuke.

    They're supposed to co-lead a major campaign.

    Instead, they keep ending up in supply closets, empty meeting rooms, and one particularly ill-advised hotel room in Hokkaido.

    ---

    "Do you ever shut up?" Sasuke growled.

    "Do you ever get over yourself?" Naruto snapped.

    Sasuke pulled him closer.

    "I could have you fired."

    "Yeah, right. If that would make you feel better, you're welcome to call Daddy and—"

    The words were swallowed by Sasuke's lips.

    Summary

    Something unreadable is on Kakashi’s face, but he doesn’t seem impressed. “You two are eloping?”

    “No,” Naruto says pointedly. His gaze drops to the floor. For once, he chooses his words carefully. “But if he can’t stay, then I’ll go with him.”

    Kakashi’s voice is grave. “You’re the number one candidate for Hokage. You tirelessly ranted on and on about how this is your dream. Are you going to give up all that hard work?”

    “It’ll just be a little while,” Naruto mutters, not quite believing himself.

    “Surely you aren’t that naïve, Naruto,” Kakashi warns. “If you leave with Sasuke, I don’t think we’ll ever see you again.”

    “I’m not being naïve,” Naruto says. “I would come back.”

    Kakashi’s voice has dropped any pretence of humour. “I thought you hated people who lie to themselves the most.”

    After their legendary battle and final fight in the Valley of the End, Naruto slowly heals in the hospital. Sasuke doesn’t.

    Three years later, whilst on a diplomatic mission to the Hidden Grass Village, Naruto encounters a masked mercenary who takes him by storm.

    Summary

    There have been no more tears.  No waves buffeting Kurama’s feet; no boiling rage to draw him out.

    There is only a cold, terrible resolve.

    Naruto smooths his thumb over his eyelids, traces his face.  Whispers things that Kurama tries, for whatever reason, not to hear.

    It’ll be alright.  I’ll be there soon.  You won’t be lonely.

    Resolve.  Terrible resolve.

    Summary

    Naruto liked watching objects shatter. He liked it more when they weren’t objects at all.

    If Naruto was a god, Sasuke would worship. If Naruto was a tyrant, Sasuke would obey. If Naruto asked for his heart, Sasuke would tear it from his chest and lay it in trembling hands.

    Or in which, the sun doesn't just warm the earth; it scorches it until only one shadow remains. Naruto learns that the easiest way to keep a bird from flying is to make it love the cage, and Sasuke learns that a golden painted leash feels remarkably like a caress if you’re tired enough of running.

    Summary

    Naruto and Sasuke struggle to come to terms with the nature of their relationship, from childhood to adulthood. Their love story is told through the lens of a hyper-masculine society where men express themselves through their fists instead of with their words.

     

    Basically: They are in love your honor, but they have a bunch of issues. I rest my case.
