Summary
“SA Jaegerjaquez,” the White King pants from above, “I’ve been lookin’ forward to you.”
Oh, yeah, I bet you have. Grimmjow twists with a wild thrust of his knees, that elbow that’s throbbing now, and the White King hits the floor so hard the carpet coughs dust. So have I.
(FBI agent Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez comes face-to-face with the prolific serial killer known only as "The White King," and loses.)

Summary
Kakashi's Uncle Sukea is kind of weird, but he's better than nobody. He supposes. He reads porn, he's late all the time, and he's made it his mission to be annoying and uncannily observant.
But Uncle Sukea is there. So that's something.
(Scenes in Kakashi's life with his Uncle Sukea, from various points of view.)

He had considered travel in his retirement plans by NilokSilver
Fandoms: Naruto (Anime & Manga)
27 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Maybe he shouldn’t have pushed one of his more volatile students quite so far while playing as Sukea. One moment, he was enjoying a final game of teasing his face before passing the Hokage hat to Naruto; the next, he was in the past, draped in oversized clothes that now felt more like a tent than an outfit.
It wasn’t ideal, but he’d survived worse. His plan was simple: step into his old life, lay low, and figure out a way back to his proper timeline, even if it was the long way. Except... it seemed he hadn’t displaced his younger self. Instead, there were two Kakashis now, and they had to adapt.
The younger Kakashi, sharp-eyed and prickly as ever, clearly wasn’t thrilled by the intrusion. But older Kakashi wasn’t too worried. After all, he’d survived his students—adorable little brats who’d outgrown their charm and turned into forces of nature. Compared to them, his younger self was manageable.
Prickly or not, this kid might even be fun to mess with while Kakashi figured out how to navigate this unexpected hiccup in his retirement plan.

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
“Clint,” Steve says, and it’s that same no-bullshit, do-or-die, I really, really mean it voice he used to trot out in the last few innings of close games in high school. “Bucky’s not gonna fly. He’s not going to drive himself. He can’t— I need you to drive him here.”
“Oh, fuck you,” Clint says, and hangs up.

Chime is, apparently, useless. No one else seems to notice or care that their first consort wears almost the exact same jewelry to every formal event.
Really. It's been years.
So River takes matters into his own hands.

Summary
“Hey sensei,”
The voice is distant, small. Familiar?
“I hope resting really is what you need. I don’t know what to do now. The others want to stay, but I’m…”
His eyes crack open to a blurry mess of a world. Everything swims, and the pain in his head seems to have narrowed, shooting through his eye but deep and back and fuck it hurts to think. Overwhelming nausea follows.
That small voice dissolves into the quiet, choking hiccups of someone trying to hide their tears.
Her hair is bright, bubble gum pink. It hurts to look at. She looks real.
-
His name is Hatake Kakashi. He is a jounin of Konahagakure no Sato. He doesn’t feel like that’s true. Something is very wrong with him.
He is thirty-five years old, a university student for the second time, hardly attached to his country, let alone his town, and he was a teenager when he last properly watched Naruto. Waking up as the traumatised goofy teacher guy must be some kind of joke.

"When someone hits you, take the hit. Look back up at them, and grin in their face. This unsettles them. This means you are in control."

Summary
“One of you will be the Hokage after me,” the Sandaime says. His pipe lies smoking in an ashtray on the desk before him. “And the other will be the pillar who supports him.” This is not friendly supposition as to the future. This is a decree.
Itachi thinks of his brother and his parents and his clan, he thinks of a best friend who disappeared in the night and left corpses and his oaths behind, he thinks of a village at peace instead of haunted by the shadows of war, and says, “Hai.”
But Kakashi says, “With respect, I would rather not, Hokage-sama.”
To which the Sandaime says, “And if I make it an order?”
Kakashi’s face is perfectly bland. “No,” he says.
The Sandaime makes it an order.
(Itachi-centric: In which Itachi lives his Best Life and nobody wants to be Hokage.)

Summary
Operation Guard Dog was when an ANBU changed places with the asset to provide the asset with an additional layer of identity security. It was rarely used because it required that the asset be skilled enough to pass off as ANBU and the need to protect their identity outweigh the dangers of masquerading as ANBU.
It was fortunate that Minato-sensei had insisted on wearing the ANBU uniform, Kakashi thought to himself.
AU where BNHA adults meet ANBU Kakashi and are appropriately appalled.

did you get enough love, my little dove? by intheskywithamethysts
Fandoms: The Passenger (Movie 2023)
24 May 2025
Tags
Summary
The mop slapped wetly on the floor and slid across the grimy surface. Benson dug the head into the ground as hard as he could, and a sound like nails on a chalkboard ricocheted off the walls. It was agonizing to listen to. Benson didn’t care. It was the only thing louder than his thoughts.
She’s not sleeping. She’s not sleeping.
The sound of a door being pushed open. Two chimes. Footsteps. Benson looked up.
“Hey, Benson.”
Benson grunted and gave Bradley a nod as he entered. Well, at least he was working with Bradley today.
(canon-divergence: Benson's Ma passes away the night before the beginning of the movie)

Summary
A and S rank missions are killers - especially the kind Tsunade hands out since she's been made Godaime. Kakashi has handled some pretty rough ones over the years with his teams, wow, he could tell you stories...
But his team is gone. He's no longer a Jounin-sensei and he no longer has to watch over a bunch of brats. Now his missions are ANBU level.
ANBU missions are different. The view through that mask is narrow. There is nothing to protect, only targets to kill. There is no mercy, no regret, no remorse. No prisoners. It's very simple, really. Considerably simpler than being a Jounin-sensei. If only Gai didn't insist on joining his rival/friend/partner around on these, it'd be simpler still.

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.
