Title: When the house falls down (14/14)
Author: sowell
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Language, violence, character death, 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. Possible spoilers for later issues in the comments.
Genre: Action, adventure, friendship, romance, aaaaaaaaaaaangst
Wordcount: 2,771 (Total = 40,536 <---- *is impressed with self*)
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) General story notes. 2) Unbeta'd. 3) Well kids, this is it. THANK YOU for being awesome readers, feedbackers, and cheerleaders. This was a really fun experience, and I'll totally miss it. But as an intro to the Naruto fandom...this rocked. And now...*collapses*
