Summary
Kakashi Hatake was used to missions where everything was simple: a target, an order, an outcome. The shinobi Academy did not belong on that list. Iruka Umino was used to carrying the fragile, noisy world of children on his own shoulders and to not expecting help. A forced partnership. Reports, students’ tears, and far too much time spent side by side. Trust forms before either of them realizes it, and closeness becomes a threat that cannot be ignored. As long as the lights in the Academy stay on, each of them will have to decide where his line is drawn.

It’s not Kakashi’s fault that he keeps finding his way into Iruka’s apartment. Iruka should have better home security, really.

Summary
Returning from summer break with a freshly scarred back and a sort-of-adopted student, Iruka resolves to deal with absolutely no nonsense this school year. For an entire morning, he manages to convince himself that it’s even a remotely realistic goal.
And then, of course, the strange, moderately off-putting, and more than a little infuriating new gym teacher has to barge into his life.

Summary
After years of settling into a comfortable life as a sensei, Iruka is pulled back into the field for an S-rank he has no business being on, utilizing an ability he’s hardly ever trained, with the same mission captain who had overseen his final fuckup in the field years ago. A mission captain who doesn’t seem particularly happy to be working with him again.
Iruka probably wouldn’t be particularly happy about this, either, if he wasn’t focused on just trying to make it home alive.

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
“Not your best idea, getting us to drink before going down the mountain,” Iruka remarked as he followed Kakashi along the narrow path.
“No one forced you to say yes,” Kakashi replied simply.
Iruka grumbled under his breath, unable to deny the jonin had a point. If his thighs had burned on the way up, now it was his calves screaming on the way down.
“As soon as we’re back in Konoha, I’m heading straight to Ichiraku for two extra-large pork miso bowls,” Iruka declared.
“Ambitious,” Kakashi said without turning around.
“And after that, an onsen. Until my muscles forget they ever climbed this damn mountain.”
Kakashi slowed just enough for his voice to carry closer.
“With a program like that, you could easily convince someone to join you.”

Iruka narrows his eyes and crosses his arms.
“Tell me why I’m here.”
“You need the money,” Kakashi says, brunt and cruel. “And I need a sugar baby.”

Summary
Ever since he met Iruka's weirdly independent doppelgängers, Kakashi has been curious. Are they defective, or is this an unknown side effect of the technique? There's only one way to find out…
The wind blew, drawing along a wayward butterfly. The sun inched westward. The shadows of the trees moved. Finally, Kakashi broke down. “Well, aren’t you going to do anything?”
The doppelgänger was slouching, wearing an expression that could only be described as fatal boredom. It stared toward the distant horizon, blinking its one visible eye.

Summary
Ambassadors from Grass come to Konoha in search of a legendary teacher, yet no one in the village matches their description. However, when it becomes clear that these shinobi bring a tempting offer, the Godaime must make a difficult decision.
"Ambassador Shouda," he said. Innate politeness won out over a more impulsive reaction. "Are you enjoying the festival?"
"It's convenient," the captain said as he drew closer, well into the teacher's personal space.
Iruka blinked, made uneasy by the cold demeanor. He took a step back, only to run up into another of the Kusanin. The man looked down at him without expression, and Iruka's instincts flared with warning. All around them was a nebulous of moving faces, but the attention of the crowd was directed towards the children's parade. Iruka was alone at the edge of a multitude.

Summary
“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Iruka smacks a hand against his cheek, feeling rough fabric under his touch. He runs a finger along it, confirming that it covers the bottom half of his face and hooks behind his ears (undoubtedly a medical mask), and then turns his head to where Tsunade is watching him with crossed arms. The movement causes a strand of silver hair to fall into his face. “Where the fuck is Kakashi?”
“Funny. If I were anyone else, I would’ve gotten the impression that I was talking to him.”
(or, iruka and kakashi swap bodies, iruka sees ghosts, dies, comes back and naruto has several mental breakdowns. not in that exact order)
