Summary
Operation Guard Dog was when an ANBU changed places with the asset to provide the asset with an additional layer of identity security. It was rarely used because it required that the asset be skilled enough to pass off as ANBU and the need to protect their identity outweigh the dangers of masquerading as ANBU.
It was fortunate that Minato-sensei had insisted on wearing the ANBU uniform, Kakashi thought to himself.
AU where BNHA adults meet ANBU Kakashi and are appropriately appalled.

Summary
A man comes and inspects your teeth and your hands and fingers, your bone length, your wrist width. He speaks a number to your father. Your father silently holds out his hand, and will not look at you.
Clark Kent is twenty-two when the Assessor's cart comes to Smallville. Forty-two silvers, a compass, and a long road east — and the boy who grew up in the wheat fields of the Western Reaches is delivered to the imperial household of House Wayne, Sovereign of the Eastern Delta. In the palace, concubines are currency, rank is survival, and names are the first thing they take from you.
Clark can't stop looking people in the eye. He gets beaten for it. He does it anyway.
The Sovereign sits behind guarded doors and doesn't look at anyone. But someone inside the walls is trying to kill him — hemlock in the training house, foxglove in the tea cabinet — and the unranked tribute from a province no one considers fully human is the only person who can smell the difference between medicine and murder.
Clark Kent was raised by good people in a quiet field, and that means you carry what you can for the ones you love. Even when — especially when — what you're carrying is a lie.

Summary
Zoro pushes himself to the limit but it won’t change the fact that his adversary is going to reach Wado first, her fingers outstretched and her grin victorious. He might be snarling but he can’t tell, his ears deafening him with a rush of blood.
Then, just as her hand would reach Wado’s hit, a lithe form comes between them. Precious hands snatch her up and pull her to a familiar chest.
The devil fruit user's palm lands on Sanji’s shoulder instead and Zoro feels the world fall away as a vibrant blue eye meets his own. There’s relief awash in Sanji’s features.
And then he’s gone.
A puff of blue sand is all that remains. Zoro’s within reach now but there's nothing to catch.
His boots slide through sparking, sapphire sand and someone is screaming Sanji’s name.
________
Married Zosan, Sanji risks his life to protect Wado Ichimonji.

Heavy on the miscommunication (due to language barrier) with exceptionally fleshed out characters and their histories/motivations/conflicting goals! A delight. Bookmarked before even finishing the story and havent regretted a thing since.

Summary
Jason tries for a laugh as he glances over at Robin, but it comes out sharp and a little choked. “You got another Robin, B? Don’tcha already have me? Why do you need another one?” Glancing down at himself, he adds, “And… Uh, why do I look like this? Did I fall into mutating acid or… or get bitten by a radioactive bat or somethin’?”
When he looks up, Bruce suddenly looks real pale; there’s white creeping up along his cheeks, rising up the sides of his face.
“Shoot,” Jason says nervously. “I— I was just jokin’ about the bats, really. Don’t tell me that’s really what— what happened. Or was it the magic or whatever, is that what made me look like this?”
--
Jason gets mentally de-aged, and that ends up being the least of his issues.
