Summary
“You’ll be branded a traitor,” Kakashi says instead of what lies in his heart—it implores him to scream, to beg, yes. His hands reach out and as he touches soft, tawny beige skin, he thinks this is the gentlest he’ll ever be; here, with Iruka, this is all he was meant for.
Iruka smiles, something sad but hopeful. Like the breaking of dawn. “Better a traitor than to live without you both.” He doesn’t know when—somewhere between Kakashi's plummet into betrayal for all that’s he known and the days of merely existing for Naruto, Iruka had weaseled his way into Kakashi’s home and heart and carved out a space for himself, deep within that gaping cavity. It is his, and Kakashi finds that his whole being is Iruka’s as well.
Alternatively, there’s a lot that Kakashi can take without complaint—the abuse of his sensei’s son is not amongst that lengthy list.

Summary
The day after the Nine-Tails’ attack, Kakashi leaves Konoha. He’s fourteen, he’s alone, and he’s had enough. Shinobi life has done nothing for him, apart from taking everything – everyone – that he holds dear.
So he leaves. He just wants to be alone; people only ever die around him, anyway. He tries his best to never care about anyone again.
Ten years later, Naruto stumbles across a silver-haired half-dead missing-nin in the woods – and he becomes determined to turn this stranger into his first and only friend.

Summary
“Xiao-Wei, I have nothing to give you. Only my home. You even took my pig.”
“Mmmm,” Wei Ying draws, tapping his lower lip. Unless master tries to kill Wei Ying, which he is too scared of, they are done for. Their eyes lock, and Wei Ying’s eyes go bright. “Give him.”
