Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.
There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.
-
or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.

Summary
When he sat up, his eyes slowly adjusted to what was in front of him. A person. A fully formed, dark-haired person— and Sasuke scrambled backwards into the bodies of Naruto and Sakura, terrified for a moment that it summoned Itachi alive, but why—
And then the blurriness fully cleared.
And then he realized.
Wide black eyes met his own. A soft, confused face, one that he recognized all too well, one that had been ripped right out of his only good childhood memories.
In a strangled voice, he spoke the first word that came to mind: “Mom?”
———
In which Sasuke buys a scroll from a street vendor that promises to grant him the one thing he wants most. He uses it, thinking it will kill Itachi for him— but instead, it brings his mother back to life.

Summary
Shisui, both of the young shinobi's wide dark eyes still thankfully residing in their proper places, stares at him in shocked-silent awe, as though Kagami's sudden appearance is the divinely bestowed answer to fervent prayer.
The weight of that gaze is far too heavy for comfort.

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
The only reason Sasuke keeps coming back to Konoha is because of that mattress. The bed is his only respite. And perhaps the dumbass who owns said bed might be worth it, too.
Or, another canon divergence 699 that showers Sasuke with too much (deserved) love and attention that we all need for these unprecedented times.
Title means "Bonded Light". It'll make sense when you're about 100K in.

A few months after Sasuke turns seven, he starts seeing double.
He doesn’t really know how to bring up the fact that if he tries to look at cousin Shisui from the corner of his left eye, he can’t see him at all.

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.

Summary
(Otherwise known as "Iruka and Itachi's Grand Canon-Divergent Adventure")
When acting out results in a failed graduation exam, Umino Iruka ends up retaking his final semester in the Ninja Academy. This leads to a number of mishaps, including, but not limited to: a dastardly prank war with a baby (six-year-old) genius, a surprising genin team assignment, orphanage intrigue, a lot of experimental tags and barriers, an unwanted trip to T&I, evidence of corruption in Konoha, serious injuries, threats both real and imagined, and the occasional afternoon babysitting Sasuke.
It's not easy to befriend Uchiha Itachi, but Iruka’s up to the task.

Summary
[A 90's Era X-Men Self-Insert]
"There is an old adage among lawyers that says: If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table." – Martin A. Davis, Jr.
Mutant law is an emergent field, more or less the wild west of the legal profession, and on a good day, you're lucky if the law and facts aren't all dead-set against you. And when your list of recurring clients includes the Wielder of Cerebro and the Master of Magnetism?
Well... suffice to say, there is plenty of pounding the table to be done.

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.)

Summary
You're bad at fighting.
Kim Dokja could barely make out the dark splotches on his arm as words. At first, he thought they were just more bruises.
But even at six years old, hiding in the bathroom as he pretended not to hear his father shouting just outside the door...
Kim Dokja could read.
In a without scenarios alternate universe, everyone has a soulmate, one other person who they are fated to share the marks of the world with. It's common for young soulmates to contact one another by writing messages on their skin, but because of the way Kim Dokja's childhood was, he never wrote to his soulmate except to say goodbye.A decade and a half later, his soulmate still writes to him. Yoo Joonghyuk uses his arm like a diary and Kim Dokja knows practically everything there is to know about his soulmate and still refuses to contact him.
What will happen when he is forced to confront the man he's been avoiding his entire life face to face?

Summary
"There's no one else here," says the child that is Kim Dokja. Unconsciously, maybe, he draws in on himself. "It's just me."
The black tide behind Jonghyuk rustles and stops at the edges of shadow, and then it recedes until it is only him and the child before him.
[Kim Dokja was alone.]
"I am here, too," Yoo Jonghyuk says.

Yoo Jonghyuk is overwhelmed by the absolute belief that even though they both feel the same way, if he held Kim Dokja’s hand, this rat bastard would definitely try to gnaw it off.

Summary
Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja's communication skills leave a lot to be desired, but as millennials, you'd think they'd at least remember to check their messages.
Or: a look at what canon could have been if Midday Tryst had been used more often.
