Summary
In an alternate universe where The Nigerian Job is set three years too early, when Eliot is still working for Damien Moreau, Quinn is hired as the hitter for this little band of misfit thieves. Though Quinn never quite takes to working with a team as much as a certain hitter he once knew would have, they make do with what they have.
Until one day, the team takes down a company they didn’t realize was secretly a front for Damien Moreau, and suddenly, they’re hunted by Moreau’s army led by the most dangerous man in the world.
Now Quinn used to work with Spencer before the latter was hired to be Moreau’s right hand man, and remembered him as a rare thing: a hitter with a conscience, whom Quinn once went to for moral advice.
But that man seems long gone now, replaced by a lethal weapon. And weapons don’t have friends, and they definitely don’t have a conscience. Until Eliot Spencer finds himself looking down the barrel of a gun at a nineteen-year-old hacker and hesitates.
That’s when the team realizes that the only way to survive might just be to save the monster hunting them.

Summary
In a shinobi's world, the line between good and evil is often written in blood and shadow. Hatake Kakashi learned this truth not as a philosophy, but through a lifetime of loss, his ideals forged in the fire of battlefield betrayals and hard-won loyalty. He knew the face of the enemy, and he had long ago made peace with the monsters etched in Konoha's history.
But when a near-fatal injury leads to an impossible rescue, Kakashi is forced to question the very foundation of his reality. Trapped in a fragile ceasefire with the man he swore was a demon, every quiet moment and professional courtesy chips away at the monstrous legend. The efficient healer tending his wounds bears no resemblance to the psychopath of the stories.
Now, the greatest threat is not death, but the devastating revelation that the truth he holds so certain may be nothing more than an illusion.
|| OR when a solo mission went wrong and death came to claim him on a dark, stormy afternoon, Kakashi didn't expect to wake up sheltered and patched up. If his confusion wasn't enough, Uchiha Itachi's presence did nothing to answer his questions.

Summary
After Itachi's cover in the Akatsuki is blown, the truth about the Uchiha Massacre comes to light very suddenly and unexpectedly. Sasuke's entire world is flipped upside down, and Konoha itself is reeling from the knowledge that the murder of an entire clan was not only sanctioned, but covered up completely. Sasuke becomes determined to find out what happened to Itachi, and also to bring those who were really responsible for his clan's downfall to justice. Fortunately, he's not the only one who is horrified by the truth, and ends up finding unexpected allies that change how he sees himself, his brother, and his village. The problem is, he has no idea how to feel about Itachi, or if he's even still alive.

Summary
“Odysseus.” Odysseus did not startle. He also did not greet Diomedes despite having known of his approach. “Odysseus?”
Perhaps this was some sort of battle related trauma. Diomedes ended up sitting down besides Odysseus and let his shoulder bump against the sullen King. “Talk to me, friend.”
“...About what?”
“What’s going on? Polites is concerned, so are your men. Was it the blood? Or the men who fell? Rest assured, friend, none of yours fell today.”
“Do you think King Sisyphus fights against his punishment? Do you think the Fates would allow him, if he did?”
Flinching, Diomedes observed the change in Odysseus’ eyes. Instead of the colour of the sea, Odysseus’ eyes were taken over by a hue of red– only noticeable when observed in a certain angle but definitely present. Diomedes knew what caused a hue of red like that.
Odysseus had been touched by Ares’ Rage.
—---
In which Odysseus is dropped back in time into the Trojan War and chooses to mess with everyone until it gets him killed or gets him back to Penelope. Others take notice.
Or, Odysseus is soooo done.

Summary
A gasp broke through still air, followed by coughing, sputtering, and some frankly over-dramatized wheezing.
Arthur! You’re awake! Are you okay? What happened!? Where-!?
“Jesus, John,” a break for more coughing, “I- I don’t know, okay? My head feels fuzzy, I can't- I can't think.”
His arm and John's angled behind them to prop up his torso. Had he sat down? He must’ve at some point. Or he’d fallen again. Actually, on second thought, it was almost definitely falling.
What do you mean fuzzy? Like you hit your head or-?
“No! No I-,” he shook his head, then the nothing of his vision began to swim and he quickly reevaluated, “Well, maybe actually. But no, I mean my thoughts. Everything’s coming through a bit jumbled, just give me a moment.”
He sat there for a minute or two.
"Where are we, John?"
We’re at the edge of a dark forest.
The man sighed, "Again?"
TLDR:
They're in Dracula now.
