    Summary

    Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
    Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.

    -or-

    Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

    Summary

    Sakumo Hatake never expected to survive his shame, let alone return to the village that hated him. But for Kakashi, he would do anything.

    When a rescued child whispers long kept secrets of rot and ruin, Kakashi’s name lingers in the air and reaches Sakumo’s ears. Raging against guilt, political threats, and the ghosts of the man he used to be, Sakumo storms back into Konoha to pull his son from the ROOT of the problem. What he finds instead is a young teen that follows orders like oxygen, a science experiment that’s never known a life outside being a handler, and a young Hokage that has no clue what to do with any of it.

    And Sakumo? He’s the coward that ran. He doesn’t have a redemption arc.

    Just a house full of silence.
    Two boys who flinch at kindness.
    And the bitter, aching hope that it’s not too late to be a father.

    Summary

    Sasuke was consumed with hatred because his family was killed. His entire family, not a single person left alive except him and their killer. It was enough to drive someone insane, or into the arms of the first maniac promising him enough power for revenge.

    Instead Sasuke finds a little baby Uchiha on a meaningless mission and leaves Konoha for a vastly different reason.

    Summary

    Sasuke was already six years old, two years older than Itachi had been when Fugaku had taken him out to see the realities of war. It was past due he had this moment with his second son.

    Unfortunately for Fugaku Sasuke does not let the reality of violence and death settle in his mind, steering him towards becoming an honourable shinobi. No, Sasuke sort of thinks it's bullshit and he's going to work to prove it.
