Just dropped chapter 7 of my blank period SasuSaku fic! It's the longest (and fluffiest) chapter yet. Have spent a lot of time plotting this month and am excited about where things are going... 👀

Story title: What We Make of It

Rating: M

Summary: Sakura is spiralling, Sasuke’s redemption journey is not going as planned, and their growing feelings for each other are not helping in either case. With unfulfillment on one end and danger on the other, they are faced with decisions that will pave the path of the rest of their lives.

4. I can change

5. I can make it

6. I can succeed

Found myself doodling for the first time in years while brainstorming scenes for my WIP, What We Make of It.

Feels nostalgic since I did the same thing back in the day while working on A Twist in Time. I ain't no artist lol but find doodling kinda helpful for visualizing moments.

Chapters 1-5 are available on AO3 and Ff.net. Planning to drop Chapter 6 next week. 😊

A parallel of Sasuke pretending he can't hear the screams of the kids Orochimaru is experimenting on, Naruto traveling through a town destroyed by the last war and Sakura collapsing after 48 hours of not sleeping and a patient dying in front of her.

Accidentally saying something they've heard from someone else from Team 7 and taking a moment to process there have been months since they last saw them.

The first time Sakura had to remove senbons from a body and could only think about Sasuke and Naruto back on the Land of Waves.

The first time Sasuke almost instinctively chased a cat and the nostalgia was so strong the nausea threatened to knock him out.

Naruto alone in his room while Jiraiya goes to find some women in the village, wishing to death he could crack a joke but there would be no scowls or punches flying his way, no sparkling green eyes or instigating half smiles.

Naruto traveling the world and thinking "Sasuke would have liked this", "I wish I could have a date with Sakura here". He's sore from training, he's tired of walking, he's hungry, he keeps seeing the shadows of another two kids walking beside him but there's no one there. He keeps walking to the next town, anyway. He cracks the jokes, anyway. He promises himself he'll see them again, anyway.

Sasuke slowly forgetting how they sounded and getting used to the screams, the humidity, the darkness, the coldness. There's only the pain and the endless cruelty of Orochimaru, the cuts that sting when he moves in his sleep, the loneliness that reminds him of those first nights after the Uchiha clan was massacred. Two more ghosts to his collection.
