    Summary

    When a badly burnt body wearing Iruka's dog tags is found just inside Fire Country's borders, Tsunade demands answers. Kakashi's tags are a heavy weight against Iruka's chest as he tells her about the relationship they've kept hidden for years, the one he'll have to start referring to in the past tense.

    It isn't until he gets home that he notices something engraved on the charred metal of his tags: a coded, one-word message meant just for him. It's the only clue he has, not much to go on, but that won't stop him from doing everything he can to bring Kakashi safely home.

    Summary

    After a string of botched missions, Kakashi receives a mandatory break from active field duty. Stuck in the village with little else to do, he begrudgingly accepts an assignment to a short-staffed mission desk for the duration of his leave.

    The only person more unhappy about this than Kakashi is Iruka Umino.

    Summary

    After four years of dating and one year of marriage, Iruka has learned it's better not to mope over Kakashi's absences. He always comes back safe, and always makes up for the time they missed. Even if it does sting that he'll be gone on their anniversary.

    Summary

    The last five years of Iruka's life have been hectic, to say the least. The disaster that was the chuunin exams, then Naruto's departure with Jiraiya, the village's eventual destruction and in short order, the Fourth Shinobi War. And in between this, the good along with the bad - the joy he continues to find at the Academy, the time he's able to spend with his friends, the pride he feels each time he sees his student's graduate and every time he hears tale about Naruto's continued growth. Not to mention, his and Kakashi's developing relationship slowly turning into something frighteningly serious. Soon enough the war is a year behind them, and he watches with pride as a newly married Hokage walks across the stage to accept the robes. Iruka returns home afterwards with not only the leader of the village, but also his husband. Despite everything he's seen and lived through, life is good, and there's nowhere else he'd rather be.

    It's really too bad he can't remember any of it.

    Summary

    Kakashi always figured he’d be unlikely to reach 30. Bleeding out in the remote mountains of Fire country, he can’t help but find a little amusement in dying just a week short of the mark.

    And then he awakens, still quite alive, in the home of a man who claims to be a local civilian.

    ...Iruka might have a little too much sympathy for wounded strays.
