By@inkieravensfor@cyhyr Title: Live Leaves Rating: T Summary: The whole forest seemed to be holding itself back from exploding into summer. Letting spring drag on in bleak days of rain clouds and mud puddles. Even the flowers had dulled their colors. Or maybe it was just that the undercover mission Iruka had been forced to take time off for, dragged on for what seemed like an impossible amount of time. So far the mission had been a roaring catastrophe of disasters, even by Kakashi’s standards. Between the weather and the seemingly natural animosity between Kakashi and Iruka, it had gone from bad to worse. The objective had been simple. Figure out why groups of missing-nin were gathering near the southern border. Don’t get caught. If caught—leave no survivors. But nothing is ever easy.

By@mandapandabug20for@thegigibeegees Title: Something Magical Rating: T Summary: Iruka and Kakashi hadn’t meant to fall in love at first sight back in their teen years, but Kakashi had made the decision that they were not meant to be and had disappeared. Iruka tried to harden his heart. He tried to hate Kakashi instead of love him, but it wasn’t easy. When Iruka ends up as Kakashi’s roommate at the academy as professors, will old feelings of love or hate rekindle? Will misunderstandings and a huge lack of communication prevent them from something magical? WC: 10841 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37716166
By@inklyficfor@beesbeanie Title: Wax and Paper Rating: T Summary: Something was wrong with his blackboard. He noticed it just a fraction after walking into his classroom, the slight sheen on matte black hard to see before he flipped the light switch. It was a good thing that he got here early too, because the class he was dealing with would have far too many questions about it if they saw it before he could clean it off.

Absolutely”“And you’re really like that…”“Yep.”“The chakra was actually there and not in my head?”“Yes it wa…wait what do you mean not in your head?

By@mrs-iruka for@anniemaar Title: One More Mission Rating: E Summary: It had been back to back missions for ANBU recently. No sooner than Hound and Tanuki were back in Konoha, than they were leaving again. WC: 2493 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37723150
By@cyhyrfor@inkieravens Title: From Outward, In Rating: T Summary: The blanket was old when Ikkaku had left behind Uzushio, and it had always been stressed to Iruka to please be very careful with it, as it’s the only family heirloom Ikkaku had left to pass on.When the Fox rampaged and destroyed Iruka’s home, life, and parents, the blanket somehow remained unscathed—a bit dusty and covered in soot, but at eleven years old Iruka wrapped himself in one of the few things he had left of his parents and cried for hours.It still held the faintest trace of his father’s cologne.

By@crying-gay-tearsfor@animetrashmuffin Title: Your Secret Admirer Rating: G Summary: When Sakura and Ino start delivering secret valentines and flowers, the ever eligible Iruka receives more than he can handle. Naturally, a fake boyfriend is the only way to put an end to the flood of cheesey love notes. WC: 3695 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37988902
By@paxohanafor@kageillusionz Title: Fake It Until You Make It Rating: M Summary: Turning thirty means Kakashi can make full partner in his family’s law firm, but there’s one catch: He has to have a significant other. “I didn’t,” Iruka said before looking at Kakashi, “There’s no way around it?” “Nope. I’m going to be stuck being a junior partner for the rest of my life and my cousin will inherit the firm,” Kakashi said, completely forlorn, “My father will be so disappointed.” “Ask someone to fake a relationship with you. You could hire someone to fake date you until you get it legally declared that you’re a full partner. Once the ink dries, break up with said boyfriend,” Genma suggested, earning a scowl from his friend, “What? It’s not like no one has never done WC: 29992 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37757488
By@remixtheboxfor@sweetysamaa Title: Falling in Love Shouldn’t Happen Everyday (and yet, it does) Rating: E Summary: Kakashi would be lying if he said he couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment he had fallen in love with his boss’s brat. It was something about the way he had looked so determined and confident, holding a small child and requesting assistance in hiding a body. Kakashi learned at a young age asking questions never got him anywhere. Kakashi would also be lying if he said he wanted Iruka to stop making the assassin fall in love with the schoolteacher every goddamn day. Or uprooting his entire life. Or being the only future Kakashi could imagine for himself anymore. WC: 5028 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37781440
By@originalnametakenfor@animae-n-sht Title: Because you are someone special to me Rating: T Summary: In a world with soulmates, there were certain rules and expectations. With those rules and expectations came a tried and true guideline on living happily ever after.Seems like Iruka might be doing things differently. WC: 2735 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37692463
By@hkandiufor@surrealistnonsense Title: Trust is a two way street Rating: G Summary: Iruka took Naruto away from Konoha when Danzo’s coup killed his parents. They go on the run, and a year later, decide to spend the summer camping to be off the grid/have fun. It starts off good, but then there’s some of the Akatsuki, and then an ANBU, and before they know it, their plans have changed, big time….

By@kageillusionzfor@paxohana Title: Unkai -雲海- Rating: M Summary: In the port town of Uminotsu, Kakashi has a chance meeting at a teahouse while accompanying his father on a royal engagement and escaping from a sudden downpour. As the crown prince of the Imperial family, there are several challenges that stand in the way of Kakashi being with the love of his life. WC: 3941 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37763860
By@could-be-anybodyfor@dooilimx Title: Wrong decisions begets… Rating: E Summary: Iruka’s past relationship wasn’t a good one. He was abused mentally, sexually, and physically by his lover. It took him years to break up with him, as he was afraid of what Mizuki might do to him. Then years later, while still in a toxic relationship with Mizuki, he met Kakashi again. Everything started to make sense, but he was a coward to make a change. WC: 6241 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37680205/chapters/94064056
By@senjusidefor@princessbuttercup Title: could u be (the most beautiful girl in the world?) Rating: T Summary: “I’m just—“ Fine, was what Iruka meant to say. But the words felt like thorns on his throat, picking at his tongue harshly as its sounds wouldn’t come out. Iruka’s eyes grew wider. “It’s you,” he choked out. (or ‘you cannot lie to your soulmate’ AU, in which Kakashi’s kids are unstoppable brats, his new neighbor is a quite hot mess of tattoo artist, and Kakashi himself is just a walking mess of human being who cannot shut his mouth to save his life.)

By@ihave-nocontrolfor@reineydraws Title: The wandering path to you Rating: T Summary: Something old and true runs through the Hatake bloodline, for wander as they may their path remains, always pulled towards home.At least that is what Hatake legend says. It is a tale of great love and perseverance passed through the generations.And who knows maybe Kakashi is not so different from Wander of old… WC: 2026 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37763044/chapters/94283218
By@hkandiufor@kitsushel Title: Romancing the sensei Rating: G Summary: Naruto decides to play matchmaker and sets his sights on Iruka and Kakashi…now if only he didn’t have to do so much dang work, and if only everyone else would cooperate! WC: 4683 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37943878
By@kuroshinjithingsfor@gendertit Title: Kakashi’s Lament Rating: G Summary: Kakashi got lost on the path of life once again. He kept reminiscing about a certain chuunin instructor and lost his chance at creating an alone time together with the man. Gai is a jerk who doesn’t deserve to be called his best friend. One of these days, he will dye the man’s green suit yellow. WC: 1864 https://archiveofourown.org/works/37709311
Manda, I literally screamed when I saw you offered me my first coffee!! This means so so much you have no idea. Thank you, you’re wonderful. Since you didn’t leave me a prompt I figured you would be happy with some kidnapping stuff. I really hope you like it.
Iruka: No need to tie me up next time you kidnap me, Hokage-sama~ Kakashi: I can’t resist, you look so nice in these ropes.
