    Summary

    Alyssa doesn't mind being second in everything: birth order, beauty, her father's favour. There are advantages to the shadow she's been living in. But when even Rhaenyra, fierce, charming, witty, is eclipsed by their baby brother, where does that leave the other princess?

    To escape a court that has grown less and less hospitable for Targaryen princesses, Alyssa needs to find a husband, preferably one who stays out of court politics and can offer her the quiet life she seeks. But fate and her father bow to Lord Otto, so Alyssa soon finds herself betrothed to Ser Ormund Hightower, who has no taste for dragons and less taste for her. Their sympathies do not signify, however: A promise made before the gods is binding and their fates are intertwined for better, for worse.

    Summary

    Sakura could do this. She was a shinobi of Konoha, a brave kunoichi. She could do this. It would be fine. Perfectly fine.

    She took a deep breath and said in the most normal tone she could muster, "My parents wanted me to invite the three of you to dinner tomorrow night." It still came out a little bit strangled.

    In front of her, Sensei grew very still.

    "Oh," he finally managed.

    *

    The Harunos are eager to meet their daughter’s new genin team. Sakura isn’t sure that’s a good idea. Kakashi scrambles to groom his feral-raccoon students into something that won’t send Sakura’s parents running for the hills. Naruto and Sasuke are trying…someone’s best, that’s for sure.

    Summary

    He warned them. Repeatedly. Kakashi didn’t want a genin team. Kakashi had no idea of what to do with a genin team. He was self-aware enough to know he wasn’t quite right in the head. He should not be trusted with a bunch of children.

    But did the Sandaime hear him? No, because the Sandaime wasn’t Minato-sensei and the old man never listened to him. And he went ahead with the brilliant idea of saddling him with his dead sensei’s son, Itachi’s little brother, and a kunoichi who was so much a cannon fodder that she had a literal target on her bright red dress.

    He would not be blamed for the shitshow that was about to start.

    OR.

    Kakashi only knows how to teach three things: survival, assassination, and pretending to be normal. Good thing that's exactly what his cute little genins need to learn. And if they also learned how to be a family in the process, well, that's just a bonus.

    Summary

    The Arrangement is simple: when a Jonin Instructor is called away on a mission, another one agrees to look after their genin. Asuma is fine with that — until he remembers that Kakashi is an asshole.

    Or: Asuma has to look after Team Seven and stubbornly refuses to quit smoking.

    Summary

    He graduated from the Academy at the age of five. Made Chūnin at the age of six. Promoted to Jōnin at ten. By thirteen he’d earned his bingo book entry, his ANBU tattoo and the moniker Copy Nin (Friend Killer).
    By fourteen he had lost everyone who had ever mattered to him.
    And now at fifteen he’s being told that he is a father.
    Like most things on that list, it was being thrust upon him. Unasked for. Unwanted. Albeit quietly, reluctantly, from the somber arms of a girl he didn’t remember from a night he couldn’t remember– one of an endless string of nights that he could not remember.

    Kakashi is Sakura's father.
    For twelve years he gets to forget that fact.
    The past always has a way of catching up.
