Summary
After his parents' death, Iruka goes to live with his two uncles in a little town called Leafwood. Their house has nooks here, and little crannies there, a wonderful garden, and the oven in the kitchen is always preparing something tasty and warm. Life is far from perfect but Iruka is very loved, and when one day a boy called Tenzou appears in the forest behind their home, their family expands naturally.
There's just this very tiny fleck on Iruka's family history... a curse that destines the one Iruka falls in love with to die.
How rude is that?

Summary
Sakura sighs. “I was making a joke. Do we want to order kimchi too?”
Naruto yells of course! while Sakura already reconsiders with a we are kind of broke. Sasuke just stares at the ceiling, rooted to the couch with the weight of Naruto’s feet in his lap, and says: “I think my TA wants me dead.”
Or: Sasuke is an art major at college. Iruka is his TA. No one likes mornings.

Summary
Naruto gave him a look before going back to drawing shapes into the dirt. Kakashi realized he was sketching a crude version of Team 7. “I know you have your special eye, Kakashi-sensei, but sometimes you can be really blind.”
Kakashi didn’t have an answer to that.

Meet me at the intersection by lildraws (azra899), tucuxi
Fandoms: Naruto (Anime & Manga)

Summary
Umino Iruka regarded the man standing before his shop counter with what was probably poorly-veiled irritation.
"Yes, thank you," he said. "I know how a triple-layered chakra lock works."
Long years of experience kept Iruka's tone even: losing his temper meant losing customers, even if there weren't very many people in Konoha who did what he did.
* * *
The canon-divergent au in which Iruka graduates the academy, does 3 D-rank missions, and then retires, because his leg was badly crushed in the kyuubi attack—so he re-trains as a locksmith and makes chakra-manipulated locks.
A story about systemic structural power imbalances between shinobi and civilians and the various ways in which expectations of physical strength and implicit ableism are detrimental to community trust. In which Iruka finds himself stuck between worlds, all because Sharingan Kakashi demanded the impossible, and Iruka made him a quadruple-layered chakra lock.

Summary
Occasional shinobi wars and giant demon attacks aside, living in Konoha relatively peacefully as a civilian isn’t too hard.
Until a shinobi who is debatably more of a feral dog than a human takes a liking to you.

Summary
“It was a quiet ceremony.” Iruka tells the man with the air of someone who says such things all the time. “There was a war on; it didn’t seem appropriate to celebrate. And the Rokudaime is a private person. It isn’t unreasonable for him to keep his personal life quiet for his partner’s safety. Especially considering Konoha’s…. checkered history with the lifespan of Kage spouses.”
“And how do you know about this arrangement if it is such a national secret?”
Iruka takes a deep breath, preparing to make his boldest claim yet. His mouth opens, ready to say that he and Kakashi are close, personal friends when…
“You can hardly marry a man without telling him about it.”
All of the air leaves Iruka’s lungs in a rush as Kakashi uses his big, dumb, mouth to ruin everything.

Summary
Kakashi's got a secret. He's managed to keep it hidden since he was a child, with only the Hokage really aware of his weakness. But Tsunade's fed up with him, and is giving him a short amount of time to figure himself out. It's now or never.
He knows he can't do this alone anymore. He's ready to ask for help, but now the problem is the only person he trusts to help him is Umino Iruka, and Iruka openly does not like Kakashi one bit.
Oh, and he's also in love with Iruka, just to make things worse.

Summary
When a badly burnt body wearing Iruka's dog tags is found just inside Fire Country's borders, Tsunade demands answers. Kakashi's tags are a heavy weight against Iruka's chest as he tells her about the relationship they've kept hidden for years, the one he'll have to start referring to in the past tense.
It isn't until he gets home that he notices something engraved on the charred metal of his tags: a coded, one-word message meant just for him. It's the only clue he has, not much to go on, but that won't stop him from doing everything he can to bring Kakashi safely home.
