チョウジとテンテンのファンフィクションで、戦後のトラウマと癒しを描いた作品はありますか？

I appreciate fics that treat 'NARUTO -ナルト-' side characters with gravity. 'Burnt Rice and Blunted Blades' stands out—it frames Tenten's weaponless despair through her nightmares of empty scrolls, while Chouji's emotional eating becomes a coping mechanism rather than a joke. The turning point where they spar without weapons or jutsu, using only taijutsu to feel grounded in their bodies, hit me hard. The author incorporates canonical elements like Tenten visiting the Nara flower fields to collect metal for new weapons, subtly showing her moving forward. It's rare to see war trauma explored without romanticizing it.

You're in for a treat—'Filling the Cracks' is a gem that handles post-'NARUTO -ナルト-' recovery with nuance. Instead of flashy missions, it focuses on daily life: Chouji nervously reopening his family's dango shop, Tenten accidentally breaking teacups due to lingering tremors. Their bonding moment happens during the Konoha Memorial Stone cleaning duty, where they realize they both talk to lost comrades. The fic nails their voices—Tenten's dry humor about her failed summoning attempts, Chouji's quiet wisdom about nourishing the living. It doesn't offer easy fixes; their healing is messy, like when Tenten lashes out during a thunderstorm. Raw and real.

Found an underrated fic called 'Weightless' where Tenten helps Chouji combat body dysmorphia after his Butterfly Mode transformation. The symbolism is chefs kiss—her scrolls represent burdens carried, his calorie pills become shared meals. A standout chapter has them training with Rock Lee, relearning their bodies aren't just weapons. The author references 'NARUTO -ナルト-' lore smartly, like when Tenten uses leftover Sunagakure puppet parts to create therapy tools. Their romance builds slowly through exchanged hair ties and packed lunches. It's tender without sugarcoating PTSD—nightmares are so visceral, you'll feel the sheets twisting.

I've spent hours diving into 'NARUTO -ナルト-' fanfics, and the dynamic between Chouji and Tenten is criminally underrated. There's this one fic on AO3 titled 'Aftermath of Shadows' that explores their post-war trauma with such raw honesty. The author doesn't shy away from depicting Chouji's guilt over the Fourth War casualties, juxtaposed with Tenten's struggle with feeling inadequate after her weapons were destroyed. What hooked me was how they slowly heal through shared silences—Tenten teaching him pressure point therapy, Chouji reintroducing her to cooking as a meditative act. It's not all angst; there's this beautiful scene where they rebuild the Akimichi clan's food stalls together, symbolizing reconstruction. The fic cleverly parallels their growth with konoha's physical repairs post-Pain's assault.
