Why this must be read:

For my final rec of the month, I'd like to introduce you to InsteadofDeath's captivating fic, Near the Border. A long assignment forces Naruto and Sasuke together again after Sasuke finally returns to Konoha. But what do these old teammates really have in common now?

I've re-read this story several times and get something new each time. It's seems deceptively simple but the wealth of history and the relationship between the two ninjas - which is never obvious until the end - is in every look, insult and comment. If we are lucky, the author will give us more, but for now I hope you enjoy Near the Border.
