I like to "author hop." Do you? If so, I hope you like my personal list of favorite stories.

What the heck is this crazy old man talking about? Well, it's sort of a term I came up with myself. By "author hop" I mean that once I find a story I really like from a particular author, I like to go and check out that author's page, much like you are doing right now, and not only see if they have any other good stories, but also to see if they have any good stories from other authors they like themselves, often found under the "favorite stories" tab of an author's profile. This has been the only reliable way I've found to have a higher chance of finding many good stories to read in a row, by different authors, instead of once in a blue moon. Therefore, I think of it as "hopping" directly from one author's list of favorites, to a new author whose story is likely to be one that I like; and from that new author, to another and another. I have found this method preferable to looking through community lists, or - shivers - direct search through this site. I've tried that latter method. It rarely works.

Unfortunately, many authors, even very good ones, will still put sub-par stories under their "favorites," leading me to still have to nit-pick through dozens of stories just to find the next one that I like.

To that I will say this: I only plan to list the very best I've found on this site over the years. Much of my favorites are also complete stories, too, which I know is quite the rarity and thus to be cherished.

The Grim Traveler by depressedchildren reviews
Kakashi was a relic of the past, a time where children were prepared for devastating war; in fact, his career had revolved around keeping back the threat or war. His brief tenure as Hokage only showed just how dated he was in this new era of peace and technological growth. So...this seemed fitting, a fitting end for a man who had known war for most of his life.
