There was something odd about Tsunayoshi. Reborn had read the reports that Iemitsu had provided him. While he didn't outright say it, Reborn knew that Iemitsu was disappointed that his son had, in Iemitsu's own words, 'turned out strange'.

Reborn finds himself falling for a lone cafe owner, Tsuna. He's is a little odd, and definitely more than a handful, but sometimes he gets a look in his eye that seems like he lives far beyond even Reborn's reach. (At only 19 years of age, Tsunayoshi Sawada dies. When he wakes again, it's in a time long before he's born.) R27, time-travel, full summary inside.

Team seven is a number that has been in circulation since the time of the first Hokage. How is it that nobody ever realized that it might have been cursed?

It wasn't just vanity involved in getting his face put on the mountain. Really.

There were days when Jiraiya wondered if people forgot that Orochimaru had been his teammate. Yes, he was evil. Yes, he did bad things. That didn't mean it had always been that way, and some days he just wanted to shout them all down with how wonderful the man had been, once. That didn't mean he ever would though.

For some reason, nobody ever sat Obito down and asked him why he was always late, just like they never asked him why he wore goggles all the time. If they had, they might have been stunned by the simplicity of his answers, and everything would have made just a little bit more sense.

Oneshot. AU. Orochimaru takes a genin team. That poor, poor man. 17 moments of spring.

It's December 25th and Eru Lee is spending the day delivering presents to all of her favorite acquaintances and friends. However, she finds herself distracted by thoughts of the Shinigami and her own uncertain relationship to him. side fic of "Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds"

Panicking in the middle of the plant zombie battle, Eru Lee accidentally whisks team seven and the nidaime decades into an alternate dimension's future.

Jiraiya, apparently, has foisted a few of his duties as a sensei onto Sakumo and now it's up to him to teach Lee and Minato about some of the facts of life, and why it's not such a great idea for them to share a bedroom. side fic to "Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds"

Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, has his first impression of Eru Lee and concludes that humans are not only idiots but also great fools. Lee also sticks her foot into her mouth slightly more than she normally does in any given conversation. Side fic to "Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds"

On paper, their team doesn't exist.

Part 3 of the superhero!AU. "Photokinetic," Orochimaru repeats, eyes narrowing faintly at the White Fang. If he's dealing with an idiot, he'll—well. Be polite, because the man did save him, and Jiraiya will be insufferable if he makes his hero-rescuer cry (again). To his surprise, however, it's not offense overtaking the hero's face, but glee.

When Gokudera died, taking a bullet for Tsuna, he expected to go to hell. Not wake up as a pink haired girly-boy in a world full of ninja. How's he meant to be the Jyuudaime's right hand in a world that doesn't even have a mafia? Clearly, he'll have to clean this place up before Tsuna gets here. REINCARNATION, Gokudera-as-m!Sakura. ONE SHOT. T for language.

"If you tell me you're fine," Itama says cheerfully, stepping in front of the door as it slides open and shoving a towel at the bane of his current existence before Izuna can bleed on the floor, "I have some bedpans for you to scrub out."

The day before Obito died, he babysat his cousin. The day after Obito died, Itachi cried for the last time. Obito had no idea how much he'd changed Itachi, and the Uchiha clan would pay the price for his good intentions. [Oneshot.]

20 prompts inspiring 20 ficlets of varying length, genre and connectivity. Some AU. Do not read if prone to cavities. "Sakura grins. When he rights himself, through the fractures of his face, Sasori does the same." Appreciate that the only victim here is Deidara. SasoSaku.

...when you're just a brick wall. She's six and she likes not being alone, of not being the only person with a head too big for them. (She's seventeen and she realises they're not alike at all.) / Sakura & Tobirama on idolization.

Life is a win and lose thing, especially in the Akatsuki. A day in the life of two missing nin. [Sasori and Deidara centric]

Sasuke heard from Sakura who heard from Ino who heard from Choji who heard from Tenten who heard from Lee who heard from Guy Sensei who heard from Kakashi that Naruto has just bought a slave. Squad 7 one-shot.

Genma is a very good assassin. He takes a job, takes a life, comes home, repeats. Then one day a stray genin shows up on his doorstep. And then another. Lonely assassin? Not so much. Try resident shinobi den mother. [In which Genma is a (very manly) mother hen, his apartment attracts strays, and all of his (bastard) friends are quite amused.] RaiGen
