    Summary

    The world has changed much since the time Sukuna had existed over a thousand years ago. Before ravaging it, Sukuna wants to experience what this new world has to offer, to enjoy the simple pleasures of being alive. And if most of his attention gets pulled by the arrogant Six Eyes user of this generation, then so be it.

    Summary

    Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
    Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
    Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
    Sometimes one change makes waves.

     

    Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
    And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
    As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected. 

    In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
    Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.

    Summary

    The night Ozai tries to take the throne goes much differently. With Ozai and Ursa dead, and Azulon mortally wounded, Iroh is forced to take the throne- and to adopt his orphaned niece and nephew. Years later, Zuko is the heir to the throne, and Azula is not happy about it. Short of outright assassination (which she hasn't entirely ruled out), there's only one way to take the throne from Zuko- find and capture the Avatar, to show that she is the worthier heir. Of course, things are never that simple.

    Summary

    “May I help you?”

    “This is a nice shop.”

    “Mm. Thanks. It’s decent enough.”

    “Hm. Obito?”

    The man finally reached his front counter and squinted at his generic name tag, one he wore for show. He glanced down at his chest to see his neat handwriting, then he shrugged his shoulders. He stopped leaning on the glass display, standing up so he could be closer to eye level with his surprise customer. He thought the man would at least pretend to be interested in something he had for sale, but he was the focal point and his shop was simply the unwanted background. The man made eye contact with him and he knew the man was trying to charm him, to lull him into a state of calm to make feeding on him easier; in reality, it was the kindest way to feed from a human, and not every vampire chose to be kind. He could be quite the clown, under the right circumstances, so he held eye contact and played along.

    Summary

    I set the fire, Mizu had confessed thickly into Taigen's ear, when their mouths were still filled with ash, eyes half-sealed with tears from acrid smoke.

    Did you have a choice? Taigen had asked as a response, hauling them forward another step across a bridge, toward another life.

    Mizu had fallen silent—so silent that Taigen lifted his chin in worry that he had drawn his final breath without Taigen's permission.

    No, the not-samurai had told him then. I did not have a choice.

    And Taigen believed it.

     

    Fool.

     

    +

    Post season 1 canon divergence.

    Taigen crosses the bridge to pursue happiness with Mizu instead.
