Summary
Zanka has a storm constantly raging inside, yelling at him and telling him he isn’t good enough. When he runs into Jabber on patrol, the storm goes silent, leading to Zanka's inner beast being unleashed for the first time.
In the eye of the storm, Zanka finds out just how satisfying it is to have Jabber at his mercy.

Summary
Naruto does what he does best, and runs out into the thick of things without thinking. Because of that, Iruka is forced to face his least favorite person on the battlefield: his treacherous ex, Mizuki. He must protect Naruto from the crazy man’s revenge scheme, and if he gets to hurt Mizuki in the process, all the better.
A lackluster summary for my take on the Mizuki escape filler arc.

Summary
The chuunin exams are always a busy time for everyone in the village, and Iruka is no exception. Unfortunately for him, this year’s chuunin exams bring the added strain of Naruto putting himself in danger and forcing Iruka to accept that he is no longer a child. It also doesn’t help that Kakashi seems to be everywhere Iruka looks, making him feel constantly on edge. Their relationship didn’t work out, but by the end of the exams that won’t be the only opportunity that Iruka misses out on.

Summary
Fresh out of the hospital with a still-healing back wound, Iruka is determined to move Naruto into his apartment so they can officially settle into life as a family. And if moving Naruto's furniture is what keeps Iruka busy enough so he doesn't have time to think about Mizuki's betrayal, then no one needs to know that except him.
Slice of life fic that features exasperated older brother Asuma.

Summary
Kakashi and Iruka clash over their differing viewpoints on how shinobi should be treated, and it all comes to a head when the jounin senseis nominate their squads for the chuunin exams. Iruka is forced to confront his worries for his students, as well as his own self doubt, prompting him to make a decision that he thinks is for the best.
It’s possible to read this as a stand alone, but it might make more sense if you read the previous fics in the series first.

Summary
A self-indulgent Iruka-centric Naruto AU in which Iruka adopts Naruto when the boy is still fairly young and the characters I care about get a bit more character growth. All the fics are technically connected (although I won't promise perfect continuity because my writing tends to be a bit too disorderly for that) and will document the events of the series from Iruka's point of view.
The main ship is Kakashi/Iruka, but other pairings will be implied or mentioned.

Summary
"I can't blame him." Wei Wuxian finished lamely. "If he wasn't the most perfect husband in the world, no way would he have known who it was."
"I recognized you." Jiang Cheng nudged him. "First, by the way."
"You thought every demonic cultivator was me for like what, thirteen years?" But he couldn't deny it. Somehow, the make-up, the act, the new body, hadn't been enough to hide behind. Jiang Cheng had known.
Or how, after a year, Wei Wuxian finally has time to think about what it really means to be in a stranger's body.

Summary
Something's up with Jabber.
Zanka isn't sure how else to describe it. Something's up with him.
---
Jabber's in his own head. Zanka gets him out of it, gently.

Summary
A groan comes from below him, low and deep, and it has him freezing up completely and blinking, before whipping to glance down at what was underneath him.
Correction; at what he was sitting /atop of/.
He could feel it properly, now that he wasn’t distracted by the adrenaline rush, now that everything was stilling around him—them. He could feel the hips he was straddling, the lower stomach his ass was stationed on, and the hands that had somehow, intentionally or not, attached themselves to his waist.
Jabber’s hands. Jabber’s hands that were on his waist. Jabber’s hips that he was straddling. Jabber that he was situated atop of.
Jabber’s face—which was inches away from Zanka’s own, and purple eyes open to meet his blue.
[or, that one stuck in a tight space fic that every fandom eventually gets]

Summary
"Ya gonna have to gimme summ' in return, though."
Nothing's free, not in the transactional thing between them. "And that's what?"
Jabber hums, tapping his chin, eyes darting around. He shrugs a few long moments later. "Dunno, man. I'll let ya know when I got summ'."
One thing leads to another. A stab, a request, a favor. Realizations, discoveries. Slowly, things change.

Summary
Zanka doesn’t know what Jabber and him are doing, but it seems like the rest of the Cleaners do.
They’re at least trying their best to figure it out.
