Summary
Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
Sometimes one change makes waves.Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected.In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.Series

Summary
"Sabe que toda su vida ha sentido el hueco que ahora aúlla desde su estómago acalambrado (...) Sabe que no tenía una forma definida, que esa falta de cualidad lo volvía soportable.
Después de su semestre incompleto en la "Héroes de la Revolución", tiene la certeza de que si se abriera en canal para mirar aquel hueco, podría confirmar sus contornos exactos, recorrer con dedos pálidos la herida sangrante de la ausencia de sus amigos."

Summary
In Japan, Eiji fights an upward battle of pill bottles, broken relationships, and the bone-deep loss of losing his best friend (and secret first love). He struggles to navigate his life and struggles even more with letting go.
Meanwhile, a dead man roams the streets of New York City. Ash's revenge has only begun. Though his death had been faked, the sharp pain of lying to Eiji follows him as he continues to raze Golzine's empire to the ground. But once this was over, and the dust settled in Ash's wake, he'd go to Japan. He'd finally return to Eiji.
. . . .

Summary
His chest aches with the force of his heart beating, and he gasps for air like a drowning man. At Ben's urging, barely audible over the ringing of his ears, he sits and puts his head between his knees. He feels like he might be floating, or rocking; the sensation is unsettling close to being blackout drunk.
After a long minute, he falls back down to earth.
Ben admits, "I don't think that was a panic attack."
"Told you so," Klaus whines weakly, too exhausted for true smugness.

Summary
“I used to think it would have been easier,” Andrew says. The words cost him more than Neil can know, but Bee says it’s important to get better at these things. If he wants to keep Neil, anyway. “If I looked different.”
There's a lot he leaves out of that sentence.
