    Summary

    He leaves the compound full of emotionless tools and dark secrets and enters the fresh, crisp night air. He instead thinks of loud students and running dogs and a future that he never wanted to let go but somehow slipped away.

    His feet involuntarily take him to a home that does not yet truly exist. Its foundation is there, but the one who makes the house a home is years yet to come.

    He touches down lightly on the pavement of the street and realizes that the future might be closer than he initially anticipated.

    Kakashi stands there, younger than Tenzō ever knew him. There’s no scar over his eye or Hokage hat on his head, but his eyes tell the story of more loss and grief and war than one could undergo in a dozen years.

    Kakashi freezes and looks at him with enough recognition that Tenzō’s breath catches.

    “Tenzō?” The silver-haired boy whispers, his eyes looking past the cold porcelain to look at the boy underneath in a way that only one person in his life ever could.

    (Or, Kakashi and Tenzō both somehow accidentally time travel to the past separately. They mourn for what they left behind, only to then realize that what they really missed came with them.)

    Summary

    No one can know this, but he came from the moon. When the sun falls and the stars breathe life into the sky, he stares up at the biggest star of them all, and reaches for it. But his arms are too small, and he’s too weak, and even if he stretches really high, it’s too far away.

    But that's okay. One day, when he’s all grown up and strong, he’ll jump as high as he can, and cross the distance between them.

    Until then, he has to live. Because only the living can meet again.

    OR:

    Obito is a young alien with nowhere to go, who learns about the world through the people he meets. He's adopted (dragged) into the Uchiha clan, but finds kinship in the Hatake.

    Summary

    This is what comes after blood and death and tragedy; the warmth of sunlight in the shape of a boy with ocean eyes, dandelion hair and a beast burning golden in his chest.

    OR

    Naruto thinks they’re dating.
    Sasuke thinks Naruto’s just really clingy.

    One of them is wrong. (It’s Sasuke. Eventually.)

    Summary

    This will sound a little ridiculous, no matter how Sasuke phrases it. I see dead people is embarrassingly tacky, and I'm half-spirit seems like something Sakura might say when she's stoned sky high. So he settles for a shrug.
