Summary
Cursed spirits are usually born knowing what they were supposed to do, apparently.
"Apparently" is pretty dubious because Obito was not exactly born but more like spat out of death's stomach with absolutely no idea of what to do next.
On the upside (more like downside) there's a Kakashi-look alike with a god complex and Obito really wants to fist fight god.
or:
There's a new curse that Gojo Satoru has the perfect conspiracy theory for. (To be fair, no one takes interdimensional ninja into account.)

Summary
Hitoshi knows there's something wrong with himself before he's even old enough to have a sense of self. He looks at his reflection and knows that the infant looking back at him isn't what he should be seeing.
His dreams are a maelstrom of grief and fear, his mind overwhelmed with a lifetime of emotions his brain isn't developed enough to comprehend. There's an ingrained instinct blaring that everything is wrong wrong wrong.
--
In which Hatake Kakashi is reincarnated as Shinsou Hitoshi, and he wants nothing to do with this world's so-called "heroes."

Summary
If anyone told her that heroes were responsible, Chiyoji was going to laugh and laugh until she made herself sick.
With the likes of All Might, Endeavor, Mount Lady, and dozens more heroes who never bothered to fill in their reports correctly or on time despite millions of tax dollars spent on repairs, she finds herself in a curious position of hating every hero that walked the face of the planet. Which is a terrible stance for a police technician to take when she has to work with these people day in and day out.
Except for Eraserhead. He neutralized and restrained the problem before it became a problem, turned his paperwork in on time, and used concise statements that made filing a dream.
She has a shrine built to Eraserhead in her desk drawer.

Summary
Shen Yuan has been dealt a rough hand at the beginning of his life. Then he gets sort of adopted by Shen Qingqiu, who desperately needs someone to help smooth out his interpersonal relationships. Thankfully, Shen Yuan is awesome at understanding people and what they want!
Shen Qingqiu can't decide if he regrets claiming this chaos gremlin as his own or not, but now that Shen Yuan is here, he's never letting him go. He'll have to be pried out of Shen Qingqiu's cold, dead fingers first.
Meanwhile, Luo Binghe is just caught up in the wake of both of them and trying not to be dragged under.
(Or, a drama of errors with comedic moments, exploring the growing relationship between an unforgiving misanthrope with serious issues and a traumatized kid that just wants to teach him what family means (and maybe learn it, himself))
