Summary
The crux of the matter is that Kakashi’s old. By the time he finally gives up the hat, he’s nearly forty and growing older, and while he’s faced death too many times to still remember to fear it, he certainly thinks about it. He can’t help it. He blames the Nidaime — staring at Senju Tobirama’s reanimated face reminds Kakashi of everything that will die with him: his clan, their history, an entire generation. The realization leaves him unsettled, and as his body starts to ache more and more, he finds himself wishing for a world in which he isn’t so alone.
Or, Kakashi returns to the Hatake compound in an attempt to speak with his ancestors and promptly forgets that the Hiraishin is, above all else, an experimental time/space jutsu. By activating it, he finds himself in a world not quite like his own.

Summary
When Tobirama sets out to improve the Shunshin, he hardly expects to dip his feet into the natural laws of time and space. Manipulating those is historically, impossibly tricky, but Tobirama is nothing if not stubborn — he blames his Mother for that though he never met her — so he approaches as cautiously as he can. Hashirama needs him faster for war, for peace, for safety, and not even the Shinigami could deter Tobirama from something if his brother needed him — that he blames on his Father for obvious reasons — so Tobirama retires to his office and creates. The process is tedious, but the Hiraishin is finished in the last year of the Warring States, just in time to use it against Izuna. In one world, the Uchiha dies, but the Hiraishin is fickle and a wild thing caged — Tobirama likes to think they are similar in that way, that that is why the universe pulls just tight and thin enough when he looks at it to show him this — and so, in another world, the Uchiha lives; the rest of the world reshapes itself accordingly.

Summary
Kuina is the name given to him, and it’s one she’s happy to take. Her future as a wife, not so much. She vows to break any ties that threaten her freedom, but this Zoro guy won’t leave her alone. Maybe if she throws Wado Ichimonji at him?
A version of Kuina survives, and fate spins on.
(“I’m Zoro,” he tries again, “and I’m going to be the world’s greatest swordsman.”
“Kuina,” she says, and I am going to fly.)

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Marina Thompson had almost ensnared the most coveted pack of the Ton. With one scandal sheet the potential lovematch/entrapment/scheme had come crashing down.
The Featherington's reputation has been left decimated. Unhelped by Portia's determination to pretend all is well, and the fact that there is no heir in sight, and most certainly since Penelope at nine and ten is yet to present.With one final ball of the season left to withstand, one night will set in motion a chain of events that will change everything.
