  2. Summary

    I got inspired by "How Kakashi got Adopted by the Nara" by Voldecourt, and this series is the result. It's how I think things could have gone down afterwards between Shikako and Kakashi.

    The premise for this series is that Shikako shadow-bonded to Kakashi to save his life during a mission, disregarding the social consequences that doing so might have on her. This isn't something that could be hidden from her clan, due to it's effects on Shikako and Kakashi's shadows, so Kakashi is honorarily adopted as a Nara. Obligations, expectations, and traditions then all come into play, as Kakashi learns Nara lore and shadow techniques.

    I've headcanoned that Voldecourt's fic was preceded by events similar to Tirfarthuan's "Shikako Mindwalks Kakashi" (it's posted over on the Recursive thread pgs 281-283). If you've not read them, I encourage you to do so!

    Summary

    Look, maybe she wasn't familiar with the source material, but she had read and written enough oc-insert fic to tell she had transmigrated into one, so she purposely forgot the entire concept of a “First Person POV”, least she became paranoid about an unknown number of people spectating her super embarrassing inner monologue.

    But just to be sure, she also promised she would never think about a detailed itemized description of any outfit she happened to wear.

    Summary

    Astarion wouldn't dare compare Gale’s very clearly lovingly maintained kitchen to a campfire and a chest of pilfered cheese and stale bread. But the feeling of it, the easy companionship, sharing the day’s burden of woes with someone who understands? That's familiar. And that, he didn't even realise he missed. Only now, watching Gale potter around his kitchen and chatter in much the same way he used to potter around the cookpot, Astarion feels… settled.
    Maybe even comfortable.
    Oh.
    Oh dear.
    Before he can stand and take his leave, go back to the contract in Calimshan and pretend this embarrassing little episode never happened, Gale sets a goblet down in front of him.
    Just in passing. Drops it off on his way to the teapot. Like he thinks nothing of it.
    But it's blood. Fresh, too. Pig, if Astarion's nose can be trusted, which obviously it can. He takes a tentative sip. Then downs the rest before Gale has finished pouring his tea.
    “It's warm,” Astarion says, nonplussed, staring at the now-empty goblet. It would be beneath his dignity to lick it. He's no starving wretch now. But it is tempting all the same.

    Summary

    He can’t ask Gale for help. Gale might have the best chance of finding any sort of cure to his current undesirable condition, but he doesn’t want to turn to him. Something about being vulnerable and in need in front of Gale grates at Astarion’s mind.

    He isn’t accustomed to anyone standing up for him like this, not without wanting something in return. And the thought that he could, just for once, lean into that—lean on him—sits uncomfortably close to tempting.
