Summary
All his life, Lee has only known the bitter taste of loss. His memories are singed by flame; he does not look back, only forward, shielding himself from the reminders of all that the war has taken from him.
He spares a life and it comes back to save him. Between them, they can end the years of bloody battle they have lived through.

Summary
Lee didn’t have a mind for politics, as anyone who’d ever known him would be keen to assert. Politics in Suna, no less? He was, in a phrase, way out of his depth.

Summary
Even a centuries-old war or the bitterest of winter storms won’t dull the lavish gleam of Konoha’s royal court. For Gaara and his siblings, though, the glitz of the aristocracy is just a cover. They’ve been sent North by their father on a deadly mission: to retrieve an ancient artefact, powerful enough to end the war – and the nation of Konoha – for good.
But when he begins to fall for a kindhearted serving boy, Gaara finds his loyalties are thrown into disarray. Soon enough, he’s questioning his whole quest for victory. Will he remain true to his father, and fight for crown and glory? Or will new bonds and old dreams push him to strive for peace? And can he manage to convince his family that love is greater than any old treasure?
(Probably not. It is a pretty baller artefact.)

Summary
Gaara thought Lee’s Christmas decorations were overdoing it by daylight, but the whole display lit up at night is absolutely batshit insane. It belongs on one of those driving tours that bored soccer moms drag their screaming kids to. The whole thing must be on timers, because the lights flash in perfect synchrony with the beats of the music. An entire blowup Nativity, right down to the sheep, moves in slow motion with the hiss of hydraulics. A Frosty the Snowman flaps its inflatable stick arms with buffets of air, like one of those wiggly blow-up tube men that are only ever seen outside the most unsavory of used car dealerships.
Or, five times Gaara almost killed his new neighbor, and one time he almost kissed him.
