    Summary

    Being reborn with her memories intact was pretty great. Being reborn into a world plagued by war was a little less great.

    Being reborn literally decades before canon events fucking sucked.

    Senju Tsunade wants what she was previously denied: a long, peaceful life, a family that loves her and a job that brings her purpose. Instead she gets life as a career killer, a family destined to die before she reaches adulthood and no job prospects that wouldn't include murder.

    Awesome.

    This story was tailored to create a believable romance for Orochimaru that neither redeems him nor portrays him as a toxic, possessive, obsessive monster. The first part of the story will focus on Tsunade to show how she becomes the sort of person that could have a relatively healthy relationship with someone like him.

    The fic is COMPLETE.

    UPDATE July 2025: I'm working on a podfic! You can find it here

    i have never been so invested in a story so much that i am emotionally affected irl by the series of events that has unfolded. every single detail has a connection, so well written that i probably fucked this story if it were a person.

    Summary

    There’s more to peace than the absence of war. The work is as hard and uncertain as any Shinobi mission.
    AKA: A highly self-indulgent fic in which a civilian woman helps an orphaned Sasuke and winds up saving the world.

    Summary

    The Hidden Leaf Village in Naruto's time seems to have forgotten just why the village was founded and have lost their way. Through a mishap with a hiraishin seal, Tobirama finds himself during Naruto's time and he is having none of this nonsense. His brother may be gone, but he won't stand to have Hashirama's dream trampled so.

    And if he has to cause a civil war or burn the village down to the ground? Well that depends on how much resistance he meets.

    All Tobirama does know for certain is that no child will suffer underneath the protection of Konoha and if he has to take them in and care for them himself, then he will.

    **here's to hoping updating existing chapters doesn't send out update alerts/emails. I'm doing some sporadic editing of this fic. Just some grammar, punctuation, and small facts. Sorry if I confuse anyone.**

    Summary

    Sora is a hardworking jack of all trades, who can never catch a break. Not that she wants one – frankly, she’s just grateful that the Hidden Leaf Village in Fire country have taken her in. No job is too small, when you know you’ll forever be trying to earn your place. She’s happy to carry on being an anonymous nobody you see everywhere but never quite remember.

    Alas, it seems that her quiet days are over.

    Rumour has it that the great Kakashi Hatake, THE Copy Ninja, has taken notice of her. And along with him, the rest of the damn village.

    Summary

    “One of you will be the Hokage after me,” the Sandaime says. His pipe lies smoking in an ashtray on the desk before him. “And the other will be the pillar who supports him.” This is not friendly supposition as to the future. This is a decree.

    Itachi thinks of his brother and his parents and his clan, he thinks of a best friend who disappeared in the night and left corpses and his oaths behind, he thinks of a village at peace instead of haunted by the shadows of war, and says, “Hai.”

    But Kakashi says, “With respect, I would rather not, Hokage-sama.”

    To which the Sandaime says, “And if I make it an order?”

    Kakashi’s face is perfectly bland. “No,” he says.

    The Sandaime makes it an order.

    (Itachi-centric: In which Itachi lives his Best Life and nobody wants to be Hokage.)

    angsty but also a slice of life.
    survivor’s grief and guilt.
    itachi is learning about his feelings, genius in all aspects except when it comes to emotions.
