In the aftermath of the failed heat mission that saw Gai open the Seventh Gate, Gai decides to train using heat-inducers. His Eternal Rival lends him a hand.

Title lifted from t.s. eliots' "Little Gidding". For the Rivals Challenge prompt: Challenge.

Content Warnings: aftermath of off-screen rape by a trusted friend (neither party was in their right mind at the time and gai & genma talk about it, but neither are able to see each other's position in this fic), dehumanization (of the shinobi variety--gai has internalized a LOT of dehumanization in regards to himself and this fic is VERY much in his pov), state-sponsored prostitution (gai is an adult now, but mentions of this happening for some time are present in the text), aftermath of fuck or die, gai-typical violence (including taijutsu gore taken to its logical extreme, though this is mostly in passing).

Hal stopped abruptly and turned to face Dave, closing the space between them. He stared straight up into his face, heedless of the strands of hair clinging to his forehead.

“Please.” He said quietly. “Please kiss me. You… you can’t say something like that and not at least kiss me.”

A failed heat mission lands Gai in the hospital after opening the Seventh Gate. His fever gets worse and worse, and Kakashi is one of two alphas on Gai's heat consent forms.

Title lifted from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". For the Rivals Challenge prompt: Strength.

Content Warnings: fuck or die & all the consent problems this causes, state-sanctioned prostitution (of adults and minors, but this is mostly off-screen & referenced. both gai and kakashi are adults in this fic), painful sex, and aftermath of off-screen rape of the non-pov character.
