Walking Corpse by Suomynonakun (NC17)
Fandom: NARUTO
Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke
Author on LJ: None Found
Length: Long - 80,000+ words
Author website: Suomynonakun@AFF.net
Why this should be read:
This is a bit of a cheat as I recced this same fic last January. However, I've found the yaoi version, enjoyed it more than the original, and haven't been able to update the previous rec so you get it like this. All the links have changed. And since I'm doing this, expect another rec today as an apology.
Most future/au Naruto fanfics I read, our hero has become Hokage and/or involved with Sakura ... or Hinata ... or Sasuke, if I'm lucky. Usually if he's not Hokage, he's being groomed. Orochimaru is dead and Sasuke was either retrieved before going to the 'dark side' or recovered after killing his brother. As I'm sure you've been able to tell from my recs, I really enjoy happy endings .. ahem, with hot, steamy romance thrown in for good measure.
But sometimes, a great story comes along with a totally different slant on the future. Set when Team 7 would be 25, Walking Corpse is thought-provoking and haunting, a trip to where Masashi Kishimoto, the author and originator of Naruto, won't ever take us but could have so easily gone - if this wasn't just a kid's show. It's mostly about who Naruto could be, perhaps should be, and may one day develop into if Masashi Kishimoto decides to end the series for good. After reading it, I know it changed how I saw the orange-suited wonder. So take a couple hours and try an oldie but goodie that's still in my favorites folder .. even though it makes me cry. ;-o
Warning: Characters Death, Major Characters Deaths, & 3 hankie alert.
Ten years ago Naruto died in the fight against Orochimaru. At least...that's what everyone was told.
