    Summary

    “I want to have a baby. With Naruto,” Sasuke says.

    Sakura's body slackens. Disappointment is evident in her reaction from the exhausted way she frowns. “You’re serious about this, aren’t you?”

    Sakura knows him. Knows he wouldn’t verbalize a statement as unexpected and quite frankly as egregious as this without having given it the consideration and time it deserves.

    “Dead serious.”

    --

    Sasuke tells Sakura that he wants to have a baby with Naruto. Despite her better judgment, she helps make that happen.

    Summary

    He'd watched his mother twist hers up with a pencil or a chopstick a hundred times; she did it to itachi sometimes, too, even though he protested.

    It'd been her birthday last month, and Itachi's; soon, it’ll be his father’s; and then they’ll blink and it’ll be Naruto’s, and there’ll be a chill in the air.  Naruto, with his almanacs and blind farmers that tell him to take a shortcut through the mountains, the one place you can’t come back down from once the snow starts.  They only tell him about these shortcuts when Sasuke is out of earshot; Naruto himself never mentions them until they’re already trapped.

    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

    Sasuke is here. In his dream.
    That isn’t unusual: Sasuke has been in his dreams more nights than not since he can remember. Fighting Sasuke and winning, fighting Sasuke and losing, chasing after Sasuke and never catching up. Sasuke as a little boy, as a genin, as an old man.
    But here, now, this dream―it’s one he hasn’t had before.

    Summary

    No one in Konoha knew what to do with Sasuke after the war, least of all himself.

    Or, following Sasuke's mental state throughout Chapter 699. Prequel to Kizuna Hikari, but can be read as a stand-alone one-shot.
