Title: When the house falls down (10/14)
Author:sowell

Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Language, violence, general lack of hearts and rainbows, um....melodrama? Also, spoilers up through manga issue 418, both in fic and author's notes. Cheerfully ignores everything post-418, which is rapidly rendering this fic AU.
Genre: Action, adventure, friendship, romance, aaaaaaaaaaaangst
Wordcount: 2,482
Summary: When the house falls down, all that's left is to rebuild. Naruto/Sasuke friendship with subtext-y goodness. Um, that ventures into text-y goodness in several places.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kishimoto-san. I apologize for my extreme western-izing of them.
Author's Note:1) Notes n' notes. 2) You guys, I had to add ANOTHER chapter, not because I wrote tons more, but because I realized that SO MUCH HAPPENS in this last part that I had better divide it into easy-to-digest sections if I want the readers to be able to follow the plot at all. So now there's 14 altogether. The good news? It's totally finished. FINALLY. I'm aiming to post the last part by Thanksgiving weekend. 3) Unbeta'd, feedback makes me smile, etc., etc.
