Summary
Tsunade’s words slice as sharp as a scalpel, each one sliding into the softest parts of him with lethal accuracy. “Don’t forget that Sasuke might not want to return willingly,” she says evenly. “You must be prepared to kill him first.”
“And then,” she adds, “you can use what you have learnt to save him.”
Under the Fifth Hokage’s tutelage, as Tsunade’s apprentice, Uzumaki Naruto learns the art of healing.

Summary
The time has come for Naruto to choose a husband – surely, out of twenty-four men from twelve different villages, he’ll be able to find the love of his life?
Unfortunately for him, the love of his life is less enthusiastic about the whole thing.
(Good thing neither of them has any common sense.)

Summary
When the Rokudaime finds himself without an assistant, Iruka begrudgingly steps up to the plate as a replacement. He convinces himself of two things: that the position is only temporary, and that his long-harbored feelings surely won’t get in the way of serving his new hokage.
…Exactly how long he can keep up that charade is another matter entirely.

Summary
The scarred ninja sighed. "You couldn't have brought them by earlier?"
"No," Asuma-sensei said, and he was still smiling, "I wanted them to get the full Umino experience."
Ino shot a look to her left: Shikamaru's eyes were open wider than their usual droop. What the hell was the Umino experience, those eyes seemed to say.

Summary
Tsunade walked around the desk and sat directly next to Iruka, turning both of their chairs with a casually powerful grasp. In the end they were facing each other, not the desk. He tried and failed to hold her gaze. She reached out and tipped his chin up, forcing him to look at her again. Another hit landed. This time it came from Iruka's left. It felt like it must have shattered bone, ribs grinding against each other in his chest, and Iruka bit his tongue almost until it bled to keep from crying out.
“Tell me, Iruka-sensei,” Tsunade said. “How long, exactly, have you been feeling Hatake Kakashi’s emotions?"

Summary
That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.
That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.
The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,
“That’s a fucking kid.”

Summary
“You don’t look like they’ve been mistreating you too grievously, at least,” the strange woman said. “Aside from the obvious.”
There was something of the university, too, in how she said it, airy and self-satisfied, with a capital accent even stronger than the sooty smell that clung to her coat. A new arrival in the town, yet she stood there as if she owned the jail and talked almost as if Artemis should have known her on sight.
“Who are you?” Artemis asked. Her thoughts, time, still didn’t seem to be moving much quicker than the trickle of water down the wall, cold and puddling. With someone like that standing in its doorway, the cell could almost have been a dream after all.
“Dana Dankovskaya, Bachelor of Medicine,” she introduced herself, with a little tug of the lips that said she liked doing it. Liked flaunting the title, maybe – a university woman after all, and what was someone like that doing in a little town on the edge of the steppe? “And apparently the most competent criminal investigator in this town. I was able to convince Governor Saburov that the timing of your arrival makes it absolutely impossible for you to have killed your father.”

Dankovsky considers just how much it would hurt to rip his heart out of his own chest right now. It couldn’t be that bad. “If it was me under your knife that day, if it was me being gutted, I'd lean into it too.”

Summary
Artemy Burakh,
I hope this letter finds you well; or finds you at all, for that matter. Considering the circumstances of our last meeting, I did not have time to become familiar with the quality of your town’s postal system. Hopefully, it is looking better there these days.
I’m writing to you on a matter that I fear nobody else can assist me with. I have recently come down with a strange affliction, and have run out of possible explanations. Be assured, it is not the return of the Pest nor any of its derivatives, however, I fear you may regardless be the only one with insight into my present condition.
I am aware we have not always gotten along in the past, and I am to blame for a large sum of that animosity, so I pray now that you find it in your heart to offer me, at the least, your counsel. The train that I will take will arrive on the fifteenth of February. Should you decide to accept my plea, I would ask you kindly to meet me then.
Until then, Haruspex.
With Respect,
Daniil Dankovsky, Bachelor of Medicine.

The blooming twyre dizzies, but the point of touch is grounding.
His words, still, come clouded and vague, “This has happened before.”
“Not like this,” Artemy’s voice is rough and curt. Hopeful again. “You never stayed.”
He blinks. “I can’t stay. It’s not how this works.”
[Or; Daniil starts remembering.]

Summary
To Daniil's shock, Artemy instantly blushed redder than the bloody twyre, all the way from the bridge of his nose across his cheeks to the tip of his ears. His eyes widened, and he glanced between the underwhelming nosegay and Daniil's face repeatedly, raising his hand to cover his mouth.
"Wh—Wow, oynon, this is... I didn't expect this from you," Artemy stammered, his tone low and almost raspy.
"Yes, well. I've learned at least some things about the Steppe, haven't I?" Daniil preened, shooting him a modest grin.
"Ah, I suppose you have, oynon... th—thank you, truly."
—
Daniil gifts Artemy herbs without realizing that he's propositioning him according to Kin tradition. Culture shock shenanigans ensue.
