    Summary

    Kakashi was tired.

    A couple times he still second guessed himself. Wondered if it would be better to fail the team and let whatever happens to them happen.

    But every time he saw the photo of his old team, he remembered why he couldn’t.

    He couldn’t let that happen to them. This system had already screwed them over. The people who were supposed to care for them had done the opposite.

    Kakashi wasn’t going to be another adult who let these kids down.

    “I don’t know what’s going to happen. And maybe I’ll only make things worse…” Kakashi murmured softly to the framed photo at his bedside. “…But I have to try.”

    He had to. Or these pups were as good as dead.

     

    OR: Kakashi realizes how bullshit it is that Team Seven was even a team in the first place, and does things differently. Screw Hiruzen for putting him in this position.

    Summary

    He warned them. Repeatedly. Kakashi didn’t want a genin team. Kakashi had no idea of what to do with a genin team. He was self-aware enough to know he wasn’t quite right in the head. He should not be trusted with a bunch of children.

    But did the Sandaime hear him? No, because the Sandaime wasn’t Minato-sensei and the old man never listened to him. And he went ahead with the brilliant idea of saddling him with his dead sensei’s son, Itachi’s little brother, and a kunoichi who was so much a cannon fodder that she had a literal target on her bright red dress.

    He would not be blamed for the shitshow that was about to start.

    OR.

    Kakashi only knows how to teach three things: survival, assassination, and pretending to be normal. Good thing that's exactly what his cute little genins need to learn. And if they also learned how to be a family in the process, well, that's just a bonus.

    ❤️

    I think this is my second favorite fic as I’m now re-reading it from the beginning

    Ch 29 (reread bookmark on ch 13)

    I fucking LOVE this. The writing is so sarcastic and makes me laugh. The world building is fantastic. Couldn’t ask for a better fic!

    Summary

    After Sozin’s Comet, the Fire Nation sealed its borders with Katara and a wounded Zuko trapped inside.

    Five years later, the borders are finally reopening and none of them - not Katara or Zuko or Aang - are the people they were when the Fire Lord fell.

    Sometimes growing up means letting go of the person you thought you had to be, and becoming the person you are.

    --

    Post-canon Zutara. Explicit eventually.

    Summary

    Katara begged and bled to win a warrior’s status from a world that knew her place in the shadow of great men, as tolerant and accepting as bathwater, welcoming and warm, and never, ever as fearful as the wild water that could bring men trembling to their knees. Her anger and her rage and the deep bitter well of her hatred made Aang uncomfortable—but that moment and support from an unlikely ally makes her realize that not even for the Avatar does she have to swallow herself down. She was a whole sea, waiting to discover herself.

    Begins during The Southern Raiders and follows her through wandering years in the Fire Nation and its colonies, posing as the Painted Lady once again as she does her part to heal the world by cutting out the rotting flesh.

    Featuring Fire Lord Iroh looking on with fond amusement as Crown Prince Zuko insists on going in person to receive the surrender of another foolhardy general who refused to acknowledge the succession and took the peace as an opportunity. If you counted all the warchests that Katara had seized, and returned the excess after distributing supplies as disaster relief, the ‘husband price’ for his adopted son was quite rich indeed. He should see about granting her a title.

    Summary

    Everything and everyone changes, in the end.

    Whether they want to or it is forced upon them. Water becomes steam when heated, and ice when under pressure.

    She just can't decide which she loves more.

    Or

    The catacombs takes a drastic turn. With the Avatar out of commission, a new weapon emerges, more powerful than they could have imagined. If only she didn't hate herself for it.
