    Summary

    Janet Drake didn't provide him with a perfect image of a mother, but she did give him her essence: a statue complex and exquisite enough to be admired. He touched it, studied it, polished it. He played the role of the perfect child for the statue, embodying another delicate and pale figure, like Pygmalion's Galatea, brought to life by love.

    Summary

    He could taste the salt in the air, along with the ozone that came before a big storm. He weaved between the sun-bleached stone buildings, his feet pounding on the intricate tile ground as he tried to race the weather. He felt the wind on his cheeks as the rain splattered against his skin, dampening his hair as he beelined for the compound.

    Everything was good, more than good.

    And then Naruto woke up.

    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

    Knuckleheaded and unpredictable: two words everyone always used to describe Uzumaki Naruto. Traveling back in time to save the world from his hellscape of a future proved those words fitting.

    Naruto lost everyone he’d ever loved and didn’t think he could feel anything beyond the desire to complete his mission. He didn’t expect this new (old) Konoha, with new friends wearing familiar faces from his decimated past. He didn’t expect to care so deeply about random jounin he’d barely known before. And, perhaps a tad ironically, he really didn’t expect Kakashi.

    Summary

    Statistically speaking, Otter should have died three missions ago.

    Or

    “Otter,” said Morino Ibiki, voice like gravel soaked in sake. “Do you know why you’re here?”
    Otter blinked, eyes innocent beneath his cracked porcelain mask. “Free dental?”
    Ibiki didn’t blink. “Try again.”

    Or

    ANBU Otter might just be the most annoying operative to have joined the workforce.
