Summary
「いつだって君には私がいるから」
Iruka woke up one day and found himself confined underneath a crazy woman’s home, hidden within a dark, dingy crawlspace, with his hands tied to a rusty water pipe above him. Worst of all was the younger boy right next to him, suffering the same fate. He never thought of himself as the self-sacrificing type, but the moment Iruka looked into Naruto’s terrified eyes, something within him solidified, and he knew that he would do anything to keep this boy safe.
To get this boy home.
And so Iruka refused to let their situation corrode away his determination to protect and fight for Naruto, and kept his promise to always be there for him.
But getting free and keeping his word was only the beginning of everything, and Iruka would find that he was made of stronger stuff than he thought possible when faced with a world he no longer recognized. His life would change for the worst, then for the better, and at the end of a long road of recovery and struggle, Iruka would find that he was made of rhodium.
And within the hands of Hatake Kakashi, a man made of rhodium was far more precious than anyone could imagine.

Summary
“I beg you, eat me up. Want me down to the marrow.” ― Hélène Cixous
It began with the sound of rattling bones, and would end with the rustling of the lion's mane.
After Iruka is saved by the mysterious family that lives within the Inari shrine he'd found sanctuary in, Iruka slowly but surely adjusts to this new life he'd been given, but is haunted by visions of a terrifyingly gentle Gashadokuro when he sleeps or daydreams. Hatake Kakashi, who is a family friend of the Uzumaki's and frequents the shrine, similarly haunts Iruka's waking hours.
As the years pass, and Iruka's first step into adulthood nears, he finds his heart reaching out for both man and beast. But every time he reaches out, those pale white bones, that soft silver hair, step out of reach, and Iruka knows it's out of hesitation and fear. The fear of a monster who is scared to love and be loved.
He's far from deterred, however, as he takes on the mantle of a lion and gives chase towards the man, the monster, that has captured his heart.

Summary
If you were to ask Iruka what scared him the most he wouldn't say revenants, or demons, or goblins and ghouls. He wouldn't even say it was the dark itself, and what the imagination could twist it into. No, what scared Iruka the most had a very real face, one that said it was his family but then locked him away like a dirty secret. He was absolutely desperate to get away from that face that was as unmoving as a Noh mask, but just as uncannily emotive and terrifying.
So when Iruka claws his way to freedom and runs for his life, the tragic irony of him being discovered by a literal monster of legend isn't lost on him. It was almost funny, how he escaped one monster to wind up found by another, but the joke fell flat when he lost consciousness in the oddly gently grasp of the beast, and woke up alive and well in an unfamiliar but welcoming room.
Iruka would come to learn that, sometimes, it's the actual monsters in the world that are the safest to be around, while those who hide amongst us humans were the ones to be truly feared.
And sometimes...sometimes falling in love didn't always start with seeing a beautiful face, or hearing a charming laugh.
Sometimes it began with the sound of rattling bones.

Summary
After the fight with Pain ends in ressurection, Naruto returns to his people to find that he, for the first time, is being celebrated by the people he had sought to protect. Iruka watches his boy go from the village outcast to their savior, their hero, and though he is overjoyed that Naruto is finally acknowledged by everyone...he can't help but wonder whether or not he still fits into Naruto's world.
But when a hero begins, it's not in the arms of strangers. It's in the arms of family.

Summary
The Road of Life normally was full of bumps and dips and riddled with potholes in the case of Hatake Kakashi, which was why he didn't have a problem using said road as his scapegoat more often than not when he was late to something; it never worked as an excuse, but he had to take his little pleasures somewhere, somehow. Then he finds himself drawn to one Umino Iruka, and without him even noticing, the path he's travelling down slowly but surely begins to smooth out, take less sharp turns, and becomes more of a pleasant stroll than a difficult hike. That doesn't mean there aren't moments where the road disappears beneath his feet and leaves him unmoored, lost, but Iruka's hand is always there to reach out to him and guide him back.
So perhaps it shouldn't have been so surprising that Kakashi would start to hunger for something more, not even realizing he was starving until he got a taste, but even he had his blind spots and Iruka occupied all of them.

One will save many, one will save none, but in the end and in the middle of it all they'll save each other.
Thus begins the unreality of time.

Summary
When a young Iruka escaped the horror that was Umino Anago, his uncle, he thought himself the unluckiest person in the world to be caught so soon after by an actual horror. A monster of legend: a Gashadokuro. But, to his ultimate surprise, he awoke the following day of the encounter to find himself whole, safe, and being cared for by the kindest, if not the strangest people he had ever met. Through these new people that he would come to think of as family, he would learn that, sometimes, it wasn't the actual monsters that he needed to fear, but the ones who were merely ordinary humans with pure wretchedness in their hearts. And the real monsters were the ones he could trust, could love, if they gave him the chance.
Iruka would fight for that chance, especially with one Hatake Kakashi, whose touch reminded him so much of that Gashadokuro he met...
If the Gashadokuro followed the blood to find him, then so too would Iruka become a monster of his own, a dancing lion, and chase the beast right back.
