His eyes shot towards where he heard the whimper, catching a shocking sight. Familiar sight met his eyes as he took in seeing his realm’s newest cubs hugging each other as they trembled as some humans kept poking them with an iron poker.

Three ghosts stare back. - In this world, Team Minato returns as heroes.

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.

The Uchiha are restless and Danzo Shimura grows his political power as the days pass, turning the council against the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze. Kakashi Hatake watches from the shadows, and waits.

The last Hatake pounces, the strength of the Will of Fire his only ally. Shikaku Nara doesn't know when he began making the mistake of underestimating ANBU Hound, but he makes a firm declaration to himself to never let it happen again. ~ Kakashi is never assigned to a genin team, as a student or a teacher. This changes things.

Obito closes his eyes, steels himself. That sounds too long and too short all at once, and he can't figure out why. He opens his mouth, pauses, and looks at the mountain as well. It’s not the correct silhouette, he thinks, but he doesn’t know what would make it right. “What if there's someone after us?” he asks, but this time Kakashi pulls him along with a hand on his elbow that feels more like a restraint than a guide. He doesn’t answer.

Well that depends on how much resistance he meets. All Tobirama does know for certain is that no child will suffer underneath the protection of Konoha and if he has to take them in and care for them himself, then he will.

It’s been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco’s getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he’s falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap.

Well, since you asked: Greenhouse Four and the Tree of Life, for a start, and then there’s the new shared Eighth Year common room, and Harry’s sexuality, and these pesky dreams he keeps having about a blond man pushing him into things…

The Waiting (ao3) - babooshk_art, oknowkiss E, 43k

Summary: It’s been almost ten years since Draco Malfoy disappeared during a routine Curse Breaker training exercise. Harry, his partner in more ways than one, is determined to figure out why.
