The Valley of the End: Ch 21 Sneak Peek

When Sasuke was four years old, a thunderstorm hit Konoha. He’d only seen rain, never lightning, and the bright, branching flashes outside his window terrified him. Father would be angry if he found out. Even as a little boy, Sasuke knew that much.

He also knew that his mother was the safest place in the whole, wide world (a small world, actually, but he didn’t understand that yet).

Sasuke woke her in the middle of the night with a silent tug on her nightgown sleeve. Father was out of town on some important Hokage business, so he didn’t have to worry about getting caught.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, her question blurred with sleep.

“The storm. It’s…” 

“Scary?” 

He nodded.

Sometimes when Father was away and Sasuke had a nightmare, she let him sleep in the big bed, but this time she said no. 

“Bad dreams can’t hurt you when you’re awake, but storms are real. When you’re scared of something real, you shouldn’t run from it. Running will only make you more afraid.”

That didn’t make sense to Sasuke, but she taught him in the best way he could learn: by taking him outside to see the storm.

A porch wrapped around the back half of their house like protective arms. That’s where she took him that night, where she picked him up and held him on her hip, telling stories about lightning and fire.

“You’re a son of the Uchiha,” she said. “This is who you are, Sasuke. Never fear that.”

He nodded, but the next jolt of lightning still made him flinch.

His mother hugged him tighter through the rolling thunder, then sat on the porch swing with him curled up in her lap.

“As long as I’m here, I’ll never let anything hurt you.”

That wasn’t true. She tried her best, but there was only so much a wife could do from within a cold-hearted Hokage’s shadow.

Maybe she hadn’t realized that on the night she held him in her arms, teaching him that not only was she the safest place in the world, she would shape his world to be safe for him. 

She killed his fear of storms that night. As rain played music on the roof and lightning burned the skies, Sasuke discovered a love for something as beautiful as it was deadly.

Looking back, that should have been a warning sign, a lesson in and of itself. When he feels loved enough, he can look past a pretty lie. He can trust for the sake of comfort, even if real danger is barely hidden overhead.

AN: I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of Chapter 21! Fingers crossed that I'll have a full update to share soon.

That one meme but make it sasusaku

[specsstuff]

the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

And he is home

Sasuke arrived at the gates to Konohagakure, with the sun shining high in the sky and a gentle, warm breeze was rustling through the trees. He inhaled deeply through his nose, taking in the scents of leaves, soil - the place he once called home. 

Slow, steady steps soon brought him mere feet away from the entrance into the village, and as he drew close to the guard-desk, he caught sight of a blonde head and a silver (or was it more white, now?) one, too. His lips quirked, just barely, and his eyes roved nearby the pair, seeking a special shock of color.

“Sasuke!” came the yell and then he was encompassed by the heat of an almost painfully tight embrace.

Naruto’s palm thumped heavily against his back once, twice, and then he was grasping at Sasuke’s shoulders, pulling back to grin at him with a smile so bright it rivaled the sun shining above. 

“Welcome back,” Kakashi spoke in his typical lazy drawl, snapping his favorite book shut as he slunk closer. His hand was lighter as it came up to pat Sasuke’s shoulder, dark eyes sliding over his form briefly. “You’ve gotten tall, haven’t you?”

“Maybe you just shrank,” he replied, glancing around once more as Naruto guffawed in laughter at their former sensei’s expense.

There was a very important something— someone —missing from this reunion. Despite how hard he looked, in whatever direction, he did not catch even a glimpse of blossom-colored hair, nor twinkling green eyes.

We can make readers pay for our fanfiction on tumblr now! Yay! Fuck Ao3 and their stupid rules! Nobody will read my stuff for free again... Pay up, bitchessssss!

Hi there anon 👋🏻,

I'm not sure what you're referring to - but if Tumblr is somehow offering a means for folks to monetize their works: frankly I cannot blame any content creator for putting their transformative art, stories or whatever behind a paywall.

Good for our content creators. 🥂

How could I blame a content creator for exploring any monetization option when feedback ratios are shamefully abysmal and reposting/ theft/ plagiarism is so rampant?

I'm sure people will rage against me once again for this, but honestly - I've been sounding the alarm about this since day 1.

Maybe if ungrateful consumers were less shitty and entitled and actually took a few seconds to leave positive written feedback for the fanworks they enjoyed (which cost ZERO money and maybe a minute or two of their time), whatever this whole monetization thing is wouldn’t even be an issue. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve said it countless times before and I’ll say it again: I am an older millenial, and I am no longer a strugging student.  If all of my favorite writers put their works behind paywalls, I could probably swing the subscription costs as long as I budgeted for them accordingly. 

As much as haters love to shit me on me day in and day out, my consumer engagement advocacy has never been about me. It’s about folks who legitimately CANNOT swing that cost. 

But, whatever. To all the lurkers pounding their fists and screaming that they have a “right” to endlessly consume free fanworks on THEIR terms, THEIR schedule and to THEIR specifications without offering our content creators anything substantive in return: you do you.

If whatever anon is referring to pans out, I think it’s more than fair to say: that’s on you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As we experience sorrow, joy, separation and reunion, so the moon can seem dark, bright, round or crescent. Such is the truth that has been and the truth that will be. But as long as we endure. Despite distance and separation, we might share this same moon together.

[specsstuff]

Not to be deppresso but,

Are there any fics like this where after all that they don’t end up together, and end up ruining their friendship?

Because, aha, reasons….
