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.

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?

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.

Title: Make It Rain
Rating: T
Summary: Iruka Umino meets his soulmate on the worst day of his life, and all he has to show for it is a pair of numbers etched on his skin left behind
when a masked ANBU touches his arm.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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….

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.

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.

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.)

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…

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.

I’ve written so much (and thankfully the words are still coming) but the end of this piece still feels so far away… send help…
Draft is now sitting at 2.5k and I’m impressed and horrified because I still have to write another poorly written 1-1.5k more to get to the end…and then I have to edit it all.
the worst thing about writing or any kind of craft is having an idea you’re really excited to make a reality but then you sit down and realize how much work it’s going to take to get to that point and suddenly you feel like those two little gay guys in the mountain in the lord of the rings
do you remember how good it was in our head mr frodo
On The Grapevine
‘You absolutely have to kiss this chick. Her lips are like a fucking Dyson.'
The text blinked up onto his phone, and he couldn’t help but laugh. Short, quick, but loud. The train carriage glanced his way.
'Then surely kissing isn’t the most appropriate activity for them?’
For a moment he thought about adding some kind of emoticon, but they always seemed to lessen the strength of whatever he was writing. He was pretty sure she could read the tone, anyway.
'Well it’s not like I have a dick, so I’m not informed about her cocksucking capabilities. You’ll have to do that yourself, champ.’
That was her sign off, a notification that she was either done with the conversation or her attention was needed elsewhere, so he left it at that. He had a date with the topic of discussion the next day, so it was hardly like he needed to pump her for more information.
*
He couldn’t help but look at those lips the instant she stepped out of the tube station, as if visual verification was needed that yes, these were indeed excellent kissers, a pair of plump pneumatics that could hoover him dry in moments. They were smiling at the moment, and he realised he was staring.
“Let’s get inside, shall we?” He opened the door and she bustled past him.
Once seated, small talk buzzed between them amicably, with the odd flirtation fired occasionally across the table like warning shots, testing the waters to see exactly where one another’s interests lay. No matter what she was saying, or he, for that matter, he couldn’t help but be a little distracted.
She called him on it. “Your attention is wandering.” She said it like she was telling him his label was out, as though he was in danger of committing some social faux pas. Not too far from the truth.
“Sorry, I’m just struck by the oddness of this.”
“Oh?"
He shrugged.
"Well, to be potentially overly frank, it’s kind of weird to be sitting across from someone that I’m enjoying the company of, would like to do filthy things to, and be aware that you’ve also played with at least one of my friends, and we’ve had a discussion about your…” He paused, letting the sentence have a breather before he continued. “Abilities. It just seems like a unique situation to the scene.”
For a good minute she didn’t say anything. Sipped her wine, moved her pasta around her plate in little circles, before finally looking up at him, her eyes flashing behind her glasses.
“You don’t make it sound like a problem.”
He smiled.
“It’s not. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’ve only heard good things.”
That was when he felt her foot. It was sliding up the back of his calve, and she’d somehow divulged herself of her heel without him noticing. Then it was between his legs, and he happily cocked an eyebrow in response.
“What you haven’t thought about…” She started, her voice a little softer. “Is that while you may have heard a few things about me..” Her toe pressed against him, and he sat a little straighter. “I’ve heard all sorts of things about you.” She couldn’t help but smirk, a great big wry thing, painted all over her face. She let that sink in, before she finished him off with a well chosen pair of words.
“Big boy.”
For a moment, perhaps half a second, he might have blushed.
