    Summary

    The sight of it made the hairs on the back of Kakashi's neck stand up. It looked so human—but Kakashi knew it wasn't. For a moment, Kakashi had thought this must be a ninja from one of the shark-featured clans from Kirigakure. It would have been easy to explain.

    But Kakashi knew this was something different. Something he'd never seen before.

    When Kakashi is badly injured on a solo infiltration mission to Kirigakure, he figures he's as good as dead.

    He never expected something in the ocean would prove to him he's worth saving.

    Summary

    Kakashi hadn’t been sleeping well.

    It wasn’t anything he hadn’t dealt with before. Kakashi had a long and familiar past with insomnia, and was long used to functioning almost at 100% on hardly any sleep at all. He could go days, even weeks, on only a handful of stolen hours.

    Besides, He supposed it could only be expected. He’d recently experienced being a casualty of war.

    Summary

    Iruka Umino was having a terrible day.

    His day didn't start this bad. He would describe it as normal, even. Nothing at all in the many waking hours Iruka had spent up until now had given him any kind of indication of what was to come.

    Which was, as it turns out, that while he was walking home through a narrow path in the trees, someone was going to throw a knife at him.

    When Iruka managed to open his eyes, he froze.

    There was a man pinning Iruka to the tree by his forearm. He had an elaborately painted dog mask, a single blood-red eye, and a second knife poised against Iruka's neck.

    Iruka's life was normal. Routine. Boring, even. And he was okay with it. He was satisfied, he really was. All of these feelings of loneliness, or like he didn't belong were just normal graduation anxiety, he's sure.

    But then a stranger crashed onto the scene, bringing powerful, long-lost knowledge and a mystery that's centuries old. And suddenly, Iruka finds himself diving headfirst into a world he had only known legends about...with a man unlike anyone he's ever met.

    Summary


     

     

    “Runaan, wait.”
    “Hm?” Runaan paused, his eyes slightly wide in question.
    “Oh. I—” Ethari paused, his cheeks flushing lightly as he moved to sit beside his husband, his fingers reaching out to brush through the ends of Runaan’s hair. “Let me?”

    Summary

    It had been a few years since graduation, and, consequently, since Nursey and Dex had broken up. Now Nursey had someone else, and Dex…Dex had hockey. He honestly never expected to see Nursey ever again, even when he played in NY. After all, it was a big city. The odds of running into one specific guy would be astronomical.
    Of course, Dex’s life had a way of throwing him curveballs. Especially when Derek Nurse was involved.

    Summary

    “Yeah, okay,” Dabi snorted. “You know the moral of that story was Icarus got burned, right?”
    Hawks rolled his eyes, having expected the comment before it came.
    “Well, I dunno,” Hawks smirked, running a light finger over the blue flames covering Dabi’s arms. “Maybe being burned wouldn’t be so bad.”
    “Oh my god, you are Icarus.”

    Summary

    “Whoa. A little too fast, there,” Kakashi smiled, sliding his hand over Iruka’s. “When you actually go to move, you don’t need to pull back that much. Especially not when you’re in your parking lot phase,” he paused, laughing softly. “You drive like a racer.”
    “Yeah, well, my teacher’s a delinquent,” Iruka teased, though he settled down enough so he could direct his full attention to how Kakashi was moving his wrist.

    Summary

    Kakashi is everything: an elite shinobi, the infamous Copy Ninja, local legend around Konoha...and a royal pain in Iruka's side. After suffering one mission desk altercation too many and itching to knock Kakashi's ego down a peg or two, Iruka makes it his personal mission to discover what it is that Kakashi Hatake, Man of A Thousand Jutsu, absolutely sucks at. But the more digging he tries to do, the more he seems to learn about himself in the process...and the more he learns he was wrong about the man in the mask.

    Summary

    Tenzo and Kakashi had lived together for seven years, starting when they’d graduated high school. It just made sense; they went to the same university, they were pursuing jobs in the same city, and they could tolerate each other’s idiosyncrasies like nobody else could ever hope to.
    As it turns out, living together for seven years is a special kind of anniversary. Especially if you’ve been in love with your roommate the entire goddamn time.

    Summary

    Ask around, and anyone would tell you the same: Kakashi Hatake is bad news. He's cocky, he's brazen, and his gang is infamous for being impossible to take down. Rumors are always flying around town, about his age, his looks, his more unsavory behaviors...frequently, about if there was anyone who could be a match for him.

    Nobody would have guessed his match would be an unassuming, loveable education student from the local community college.
