Overactive Imagination - Naruto Fanfiction Recommendation List

This is my Naruto fanfiction reccomended reading list. The list is mostly for my own reference, but I'm happy to share what I think are some of the best naruto fics out there with anyone who wants to read them. 

Things to Know About This List:

1. I don't list discontinued or abandoned fics, so others who read it won't be disappointed like I was. If a fic on this list goes without update for a year or is labeled abandoned/hiatus by the author it will be removed. I only read het fics. I also don't read high school or vampire fics, and "real world" AU's are very rare.

2. There are no ratings listed, but most are rated T-M, and many contain lemons. Regardless of the smut factor, I've found that higher rated fics tend to be more mature and have better plot and character development. Besides, sex happens, and I'm an adult that can deal with that. If you're not, or can't, then don't read them. 

3. I update the list periodically as I find new fics, and new entries will be marked in a different color. Completed fics are marked with an asterisk.

That being said....On to the List!

green asterisk = completed fics
magenta = my personal favorites
blue = new additions
