"They say the only thing to fear is fear itself. That, and a motivated Nara." Shikamaru is born with his father's intelligence and his mother's work ethic. The world is turned sideways.

I was dead and gone. Nothing was left, and no one would miss me. Everyone I cared about was dead or betrayed me. I never did anything in my life, and all my chances to achieve my goals were gone.

Kintsugi 金継ぎ: The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. Rather than being concealed and forgotten, cracks and breaks are shown and accepted as a vital part of the vessels past. SI-OC as one of Kakashi's dog summons. Inspired by the likes of Dreaming of Sunshine, Catch your breath and more.
