remember the story of foolish icarus, years and years ago, who reached for the sun, who felt his wing feathers melt from his back, who knew what was coming and yet flew higher and higher. reaching for what cannot be reached is a worthy way to die, and what can a worthy death be weighed against?

achilles, golden and blinding, had been offered a choice of his own. achilles and icarus. icarus and achilles. the two are not much different in the end.

a long life and a peaceful death, where none remember your name. a short life and a violent death, where your name is remembered for millenia.

what can a worthy death be weighed against?

and what of brave patroclus, bound by oath to protect lovely helen; bound by love to follow gilded achilles? brave patroclus, who could have watched achilles go out to war without him, never to return, and instead said: yes, yes, yes. patroclus, who found that the sun had willingly chained itself to him, and so chained himself to the sun in turn. who could have watched his countrymen die meaningless deaths, but instead remembered that he had known these men for ten long years, and threw himself against achilles' boundless pride until it killed him.

what can a worthy death be weighed against?

achilles had said, once upon a time, that he could not imagine it. he could not grasp obscurity; his mind skirted it as if it could not exist. to golden achilles, who had all his life been promised greatness, who had never been denied a single thing, such a thing was unimaginable. greater than his father, greatest of all greeks, and greatest fighter the gods had yet made. i cannot imagine it, he said, half arrogance and all pride, and schemed to steal life from fate.

a boy, trained for music and poetry, sent to kill.

Yuri!!! On Ice Fic Recs

[notes: i mean. essentially all victuuri. did that need to be clarified. is that a thing. i’m not even going to bother tagging victuuri on each fic, so they will have ship tags only if it’s something else.

i switch between victor/viktor often. yūri k is always yuuri and yuri p is always yuri/yurio just so i won’t confuse myself.]

highlighting any missing text should make it appear

authors:

fahye - entirely personal bias and i’m not afraid to admit it. multifandom wonder tbh. everything from raven cycle to captive prince, les mis, hamilton, etc. only two fics (so far?) in yoi but they are both absolutely fantastic.

kevystel - possibly the first author whose fics i enjoyed in this fandom. light-bringer was all i never knew i wanted. just read their fic. all of it.

honorable mentions: astoryaboutwar, cityboys, ebenroot

absolute favorites:

lie to make me like you by cityboys

Victor is a lot more experienced at acting than he is at directing—but when December gifts him with his very own Cinderella story, it comes with the reminder that relationships don't come with a script, and it's much harder understanding love than roles.

can i just say: relationship development. characterization.

i read this fic and then could not stop thinking about it for another 30 min. at 3 am in the morning.

light-bringer by kevystel

‘I can do it,’ Viktor says. He’s seventeen. ‘I’ll choreograph it myself.’

It doesn't all go smoothly. He messes up a triple toe loop and is so angry at himself that he changes his next two jumps to a quadruple salchow and a quadruple flip, to the roars of the crowd.

see: above, at my kevystel rec - “light-bringer is all i never knew i wanted”

basically, short vik-centric oneshots spanning pre to post canon.

maelstrom by feelslikefire

Victor Nikiforov is poised to win gold in his fifth consecutive Grand Prix Final. He has the world at his feet, is unparalleled in the sport--right up until a snowstorm blows into Sochi, and he finds himself repeating the same day over and over and over. He stumbles over Yuuri Katsuki, and everything changes.

(Or, the time loop au. Loosely based on Groundhog Day.)

have i mentioned that i love time travel to death on this rec list yet? no? well.

this is like. the penultimate time travel fic. time travel with character progression. time travel structured around character progression. viktor navigating his relationships with others and also reevaluating his own personal happiness. i love.

stargazer by fahye

"No, see, we've all been trained a certain way. The training system is traditional; it's centuries old. Nobody taught you. You ballist like it's got nothing to do with war at all." A sleepy, extraordinary smile crawls over Victor's face. "Nobody else does it like that. That's why we're going to win."

for some reason space au always ends up being one of my favorite things.

i am always blown away by fahye’s worldbuilding + writing in general, and this is no exception. this is like, a sports au of a sports show, set in space. it’s a wonder and i love it.

the otayuri sequel is also amazing.

winter song by proantagonist

The set of Yuuri’s mouth softened into a private smile as Victor squeezed his knee beneath the table. His hands were bare, free from the gloves he so often wore when they were together on the rink, and the heat of his palm burned straight through the denim of Yuuri’s jeans. He slipped his own hand beneath the table and found Victor’s. Hidden from sight, their fingers began to flirt and play. A secret conversation all their own that needed no words.

Yuuri was aware that at some point—a moment in time he couldn’t quite place—Victor had become his boyfriend.

There wasn’t a single instant when it happened. It was a slow awareness, as if Victor had silently been asking the question for months now, and Yuuri had been giving him the answer a little more with each passing day.

when i saw this fic i freaked out. proantagonist is the author of what is i am 80% sure my absolute favorite fic of all time but is definitely in the top 3: bargaining.

anyways,,,,

winter song isn’t bargaining, it’s something entirely different. and i love it for that. it’s sweet (i have cavities from it) and intimate.

a hundred flowers in bloom by chiharu

The 2022 Beijing Olympics open on the fourth day of Chinese New Years with twelve lines of lion dancers forming into a dragon.

This year, Guanghong only has three resolutions: to not drop the flag on international television, to win Olympic gold for China, and to fall out of love with Leo.

leoji.

all the world’s a stage by braveten

Everyone has a guilty pleasure.

For Yuuri, it just happens to be romance movies starring famous heartthrob Victor Nikiforov.

(And, honestly, on the spectrum of guilty pleasures, he figures that his on the far, far more innocent side.)

black cat, white cat by authoress

It's one thing to see your idol in the flesh, skating on ice he was born to dance on.

It's another to point a gun at him and be greeted with that same smile you fell in love with.

(in which Yuuri punches, shoots at, seduces, dances on, and in other words, falls in love with Viktor, and Viktor with him)

constellations (things you left unsaid) by daswarschonkaputt

What is Katsuki Yuuri’s greatest asset when competing? If you ask the media, they’ll tell you it’s his flair for artistry, something that shines through in his earnest, winning performances. If you ask Yuuri, he’ll tell you that it’s his coach, Celestino, and the answer will sound as fake as it is.

The truth, though, is something that Yuuri has always known. He wouldn't be half the skater he is without his prescription for anti-anxiety medication.

[AKA a role reversal au, wherein Yuuri is a figure skating legend in the making - mostly made, or so they say - who decides to take a season off at the peak of his career, and Victor is the runaway-cum-international student from Russia who joins his university and cons Yuuri into becoming his coach. Featuring Phichit Chulanont as the worst (best) friend ever, and Yuri Plisetsky as Yuuri's self-proclaimed Arch Rival.]

darling, we both know by astoryaboutwar

You can grow up with someone and be simultaneously better and worse for it.

(Or: the HP Wizarding World (not set in Hogwarts!) AU where they meet as preteens, fuck as teenagers, fall in love as adults, and occasionally find time to magically figure skate.)

drunk on you by kiaronna

"We'll just pretend to be soulmates until you retire," Viktor offers, "that's what you need from me right now. It wouldn't be hard." Yuuri doesn't know if that's true, but they try anyway.

phenomenal one-shot series of unconventional soulmate aus

duetto by lupinely

Yuuri wants to hold onto this moment forever; never wants to fall asleep or the sun to rise on the next day, so that the two of them can remain here like this for as long as they wish, as long as they can.

first, second, third by clandestine7

Yuri counts their kisses until he loses track.

i have my body (and you have yours) by astoryaboutwar

Yuuri overflows with the weight of things that have been said, trembles with what remains.

Their shared zeroes flicker in time, the early morning light muting the red glow to faint numbers. In the amber dawn, an idol is only just a man.

(Or: the Soulmate Timers AU where things happen out of order, secrets are kept, revelations are had, and they arrive where they need to be in the end.)

"Victor," Yuri begins, lowering the eighteenth sketch of the figure skater Victor drew this week, "you have a fucking problem."

in which Victor is an artist, Yuuri is his figure skating muse, and Yuri is so done hearing about their stupid love story through Instagram

make it good, make it better by jack_r

"And that's a very good score for Viktor Nikiforov, one of this year's favourites! Nikiforov, aged 19, has won the Grand Prix before, not mentioning the national competitions and European champions, and he's also the last year's winner of the World's Championship. This is his third year in the senior section. Nikiforov's young but incredibly talented - and currently in the second place."

He keeps smiling and waves as they walk away from the audience and the cameras. As soon as he's alone with Yakov, Viktor stops.

"Who?" he demands an answer, feeling somehow numb inside.

Yakov shrugs.

"Some Japanese kid. I’ve never seen him before, to be honest."

Viktor does not answer. It’s 2008 and it's supposed to be his year. He knows there is no one better than him out there, none of these people are half as good as him - he's young and brilliant and already surpassing everyone's expectations, his short program is incredible and this year, the Grand Prix is going to be his.

The one where they really hate each other - until they don't. (Rivals!AU)

on top of the world by springsoldier

In which Victor doesn’t believe in secret identities, Yuuri’s not quite sure how any of this happened and together, they fight crime! (Also the supervillain community as a whole is pretty harmless.)

rekindling by fan_nerd

Victor stands on Yuuri's doorstep in the pouring rain with a bouquet of flowers. It's the middle of the night. The tall man is out of breath, soaking wet, and his eyes are red.

Yuuri sighs, letting his ex-boyfriend in like the sympathetic fool that Victor knows he is. "What are you doing here?"

He hurries to catch his breath and reply, but his mouth is dry.

Victor doesn't exactly have an answer to that question.

sight of the sun by cityboys

It's still new, reaching inside himself and finding nothing but love there, and a yearning for life—for the rest of his own life—that’s never been this sort of present before. It’s still new, just like the band on his own ring finger is still a wonder, just like seeing Yuuri’s own band has not stopped giving Victor such a dizzying rush of emotion every time he sees it, days after the wedding.

Wherein their honeymoon brings Victor face-to-face with a lot of firsts in his life.

The sun glints off their twin gold bands, the band strikes up their first dance, and together, they follow each other into the rest of their lives.

to have roses in december by ebenroot

Victor makes pies for a living; for some reason, it’s the only thing he can cook without it spontaneously bursting into flames.

He also has the ability of waking the dead with a touch of his finger, but he tries not to make a habit of that. Tries.

in which Victor reunites with his childhood love Yuuri in the most unconventional way possible, and Yuri suffers through their relationship along with them

“If you want, I can recommend you some security programs that you can download for free and protect your computer. That way, you won’t be at risk of losing these cute photos of your dog even when you browse websites like ‘Luscious Lonely Wives’.”

Victor gives one long ‘haa’. “I don’t browse those websites,” he says through his straining smile.

until my feet bleed and my heart aches by reiya

‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries.

Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be.

water’s edge by mhalachai

For years, Yuuri had heard people say Viktor’s skating was otherworldly.

He never thought they were being literal.

Sometimes you have to make choices you don’t like, or will regret into countless sleepless nights, and sometimes you’re just following orders. But if the other option is certain death for your entire species, you will make those decisions. That’s what it means to be a pilot.

…Or so Daichi and Sugawara keep telling themselves as they activate the two least compatible recruits for the much-needed third Jaeger assist. The kaiju are learning, evolving, and coming in faster than anyone is comfortable with, and the only option left is to evolve with them. Who knows? Maybe the rookies will be the ones to turn the tide of the war.

like perennials by tothemoon

“I figured it out about a month before graduation.”

When Oikawa explains this, they are sitting together in a boat in the middle of Lake Pichola, India, hiding at the end of the fourteenth century with no one to bother them. Hajime sifts his hand through the water to cool his face while Oikawa pauses to collect himself, sights fixed on the royal blue of an emerging night sky. He holds two fingers up to the yellowed moon, pinches it into forced perspective, and palms it completely to force the light out of his eye. At the view, he smiles like he’s defeated all the knowing gods, the fates and their fickle futures, and humbles himself from the stratosphere.

“You know the story, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tells him, back on earth. “Boy jumps to Miyagi in attempt to run away. It is raining, when he meets another, and they are both five years old. Neither of them can decide if he is from years past, or years to come. Hell, he could be a monster, for all they know.”

mint by tothemoon

It's the December after Iwaizumi’s last year in university when Tokyo welcomes him with a new ad campaign for Bright Days toothpaste, and Oikawa Tooru—fresh off a run at the 2016 Summer Olympics—has decided to grace the city with his signature grin, a flip of his wayfarer sunglasses, and the most irrepressible tag line for the signboard above.

‘Are you in love with me?’ it reads, Oikawa taunts, and Iwaizumi can only find the whole thing a pointless exercise in the usual flirtations.

(Because i would never fall for you in a million years, he types out in reply, before deciding against it.)

bloom by newamsterdam

Some people develop powers as they grow older; others don't. This fact doesn’t bother Oikawa Tooru too much, at least not when he’s young. Then, at eight years old, Iwaizumi Hajime discovers his own ability. He’s stronger than anyone could be, given human limitations. It’s a broad and useful power, one that could take Iwaizumi down any number of paths in the future. He’s discovered his ability early, too, and all of the adults in the neighborhood say that he’s got a bright future ahead of him.

Oikawa could’ve told them that ages ago—he’s always known Iwaizumi is special, long before he started being able to lift furniture with one hand. Everything Iwaizumi does, Oikawa has always done with him. So he goes home and waits for his own ability to manifest.

Nearly ten years later, on the eve of the last tournament of his high school volleyball career, he’s still waiting.

chasing paper suns by carafin

Post-high school, Oikawa makes it to the national volleyball team but Iwaizumi doesn't. The next three years become an exercise in growing up without growing apart.

Some days Hajime likes to think of himself as Oikawa’s counterpart—the two of them blending into a single devastating unit, the invincible setter and his unyielding ace, the bond between them unbreakable and true. Other days he feels like he is chasing after a rising sun, always running and running with his eyes fixed on the distance, trying to cross a chasm that stretches on without end, caught in an endless and exhausting pursuit.

Iwaizumi blinked his gaze over to Oikawa, “Last time was supposed to be a one time thing,” he said, voice low, lacking some conviction.

Yaku doesn’t let Kuroo derail him. “You don’t even have that excuse. And I’ve known you and Kenma too long to think that these feelings didn’t exist, before today.”

There’s a truth in what he says. Kuroo’s chest feels too small to contain his heart, beating giddily against his ribs. Even if he falls into his usual back and forth with Yaku, everything is different today.

“It’s not like that,” he says softly. He cups both hands around his mug, looking into the dregs of his coffee. “It’s like… I couldn’t even let myself think of it before, you know? I couldn’t let my mind even go there, because it would’ve been unbearable, to know and not be able to do anything about it.”

Yaku shakes his head, kicking at Kuroo’s legs under the table. “Oh my god,” he says. “You’re going to be hopeless now, aren’t you?”

Five years after high school— what changes, what doesn't, and what really matters, in the end.

Dear neighbour,

Congratulations on moving into this neighbourhood with Iwaizumi. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and I apologise for not being able to greet you in person, as I am a very busy man.

As you might have noticed, I have also placed a pot of flowers next to your doorstep as a housewarming gift. It is a rue plant, traditionally meant to symbolise ‘regret’. I have expended great effort to procure this plant for you, as this is not a common flower you can find in your neighbourhood florist. The symbolism is entirely intentional.

I look forward to seeing you (and your boyfriend) around.

“No need to look that way. I told you, I’m not one of your macho man buddies. I’m allowed to say stuff like that without being embarrassed—”

“You’re being ridiculous,” Hajime complained. “No need to be so defensive. I’ve missed you too.”

A glider pilot in service to the Air Temples, all Oikawa really wants to do is fly. But you gotta pay the bills, and sometimes that means being a glorified taxi service for some useless Earth Nation noble named Iwaizumi Hajime...but he's not turning out to be what Oikawa expected.

(Extremely handsome was not one of the things he expected)

Iwaizumi's got a few secrets of his own. He's not sure he really wants to study at the Air Temples. He's terrified of flying in a glider. He's got a secret career as an underground wrestler that his protective mother doesn't know about.

But everyone has to take a few risks during Storm Season.

iwaoi.

sweetest setting by aroceu

Tooru doesn't trust his new roommate. He smiles a lot, and doesn't mind when Tooru calls him 'Refreshing-kun.' He also fails to mention that he used to go to Karasuno.

oisuga.

tea-stained polaroids by dalyeau

“I'm gonna date that,” Bokuto declares solemnly, and Kuroo throws a plastic spoon at his head.

bokuaka

the river runs by tothemoon

At the start of the new year, and one whole year since their breakup, Oikawa Tooru starts a list of daily reminders, tips, and tricks called HOW TO FORGET ABOUT IWAIZUMI HAJIME, and he’s determined to make it stick.

—

This is a firsthand account of how to deal (and rather spectacularly, at that).

iwaoi.

thirty years and change (the games of the xxxiii olympiad) by sunsmasher

It’s July 10th, 2024, and Oikawa Tooru is an Olympian. His smiling face airs on an NHK promo every 45 seconds. He’s captain of the national men’s volleyball team, reigning star of the professional leagues, and he hasn't spoken to Iwaizumi Hajime in two years.

He has, however, sent Iwaizumi tickets for the 2024 Los Angeles Summer Games.

“So go,” says Matsukawa's voice. “It’s only a few weeks. You’ve got a whole city to hide in if it gets awkward, and if it doesn’t get awkward, well…”

It’s like watching the future reconfigure, like being in high school again, watching team after team fall to Oikawa’s faultless planning and shameless charm.

“I’ll get to watch a whole lot of volleyball,” Hajime says, and resigns himself to fate and/or Oikawa Tooru.

“Hey, when you get there, can you bag a gymnast for me?” Hanamaki asks, and Matsukawa squawks.

iwaoi.

to the beat of my heart by kittebasu

Former boyband member and acting idol Tsukishima Kei’s continued entanglement with Nekoma's lead singer Kuroo Tetsurou is just a series of missed steps in choreography he can’t quite master. (It doesn't help at all that Kuroo Tetsurou makes a habit of constantly changing the music.)

kurotsuki.

my bookmark comment on this fic was “kittebasu strikes again” if that helps any. this will quite possibly be the only kurotsuki fic i ever read but it’s wonderful.

we can do better than that by spaceburgers

Oikawa and Iwaizumi go on a road trip during the summer after their high school graduation. It doesn't go as expected, but maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.

iwaoi.

Naruto Fic Recs

[notes: things i ship in naruto consist of approximately nothing. maybe kakaobi? but i have read many many things both rarepair and popular and they’re all on this list. expect lots of gen fic tho.]

i’m not sure if this is only a problem on my laptop or not, but if the text doesn’t load, try to highlight it and it should appear.

authors:

blackkat - you’ve probably heard of blackkat before but still. her writing style is essentially everything i aspire to. it’s lyrical and descriptive without seeming like purple prose. lots of rarepairs, which i highly respect. i love rarepairs.

fowl68 - i was obsessed with fowl68′s oneshots freshman and sophomore yr of highschool. thunder is great. three scratched out words. that post-apocalyptic au with the summary about the the man who plays shogi against himself everyday. they’re all pretty amazing.

pentapus - i’m going to be honest, i don’t ship kakairu. i’m indifferent. but if any one author had the potential to change my mind, it would be pentapus. i think i’ve read every single one of their fics; all of them are kakairu, and all of them are phenomenal.

honorable mentions: liffae, 100demons

absolute favorites:

cloud age symphony by slexenskee

Let it not be said that being Uzumaki Naruto is anything approaching easy; he has an obligation to the future but a duty to the past, and a time-traveling jutsu that lets him travel between both. OR: Naruto travels between the past and the present, and somehow loses himself in the process.

gen.

time travel is possibly my absolute favorite guilty pleasure trope. it’s been a while since i’ve read it, so i can’t say anything about characterization, but characterization in time travel fic is necessarily always a bit strange. the plot, however. the way the time travel itself is used. wow. i love this fic a lot.

there’s also a sequel, world’s end rhapsody, that was never finished.

in good company by weialala

This will sound a little ridiculous, no matter how Sasuke phrases it. I see dead people is embarrassingly tacky, and I'm half-spirit seems like something Sakura might say when she's stoned sky high. So he settles for a shrug.

sasunaru. incomplete.

here it is. my absolute favorite of all of my absolute favorites. you haven’t read this? what are you waiting for. read it. now.

a few years ago, while i was working (read: procrastinating) on my college apps, i got a notification for an update to this fic, dropped everything, and reread the entire thing.

an extremely teenage portrayal of sasuke, which i greatly enjoyed. possibly the best portrayal of the itachi&sasuke and kakashi&sasuke dynamics i have ever read.

it sounds kind of like a modern au from the summary, but it really isn’t. canon au, sasuke returns to the village earlier.

in the blood by justplainrii

Almost 30 years after the end of the war, Sasuke discovers that a clone was made of his brother. He doesn't handle it well. Especially when other clones begin to surface, and all signs point to an old foe being responsible. A mystery.

gen. kind of sasuino i suppose.

i started this fic, looked at its frankly ridiculous wordcount (800k+!!!), balked, and then sat down two hours later and read the entire thing in less than two days.

this is the extremely flawed sasuke portrayal i’ve longed for forever. the main, well, i hesitate to call it ship, but sasuke is married to ino in this fic. as a warning. their children as well as their relationship is extremely well written. nadeshiko is my fav.

stormborn by blackkat

Flashes of an unknown past haunt Naruto, entwining his steps with those of a former life no longer content to stay forgotten. There's a voice on the wind and another lifetime in his head, and it’s time for Uzushio’s Storm God to rise once more.

(The soul of a city is a hard thing to kill. Uzushio is still aware, still waiting. And now, with the rebirth of her greatest Kage, it’s time to call her people home.)

sasunaru. kakaobi.

while i love backslide, and reverse, only true in fairy tales, etc, stormborn is why i fell in love with blackkat’s writing.

also, self aware cities? sign me up.

shards of the heart by shtuff

AU Kakashi Gaiden. It is frighteningly easy to fall, but agonizingly hard to stand up again.

gen. minakush.

i am self aware enough to admit that at least 10% of the reason shards of the heart is on this part of the list is nostalgia, but believe me, it’s good. i’m relatively sure this is one of the fic i unearthed during the naruto portion of my side character appreciation phase. (the side character for naruto was obito, who obviously does not qualify as a side character anymore. other side characters include lu ten from atla)

old. not quite namikaze minato = uzumaki arashi old, but. as in, tobito had not yet been confirmed yet, kind of old, though everyone already believed in the theory. as in, kushina’s name hadn’t yet been revealed yet, kind of old. therefore, kushina’s name is kia in the fic.

family of choice fic. it’s amazing, go read it.

will of foxfire by quill of molliemon

Naruto has secrets and Sasuke wants to please his father. Oh, and there’s Orochimaru, plotting Kitsune, unfortunate werewolves, assorted demons, mysterious elders, simmering tensions, attempted murder, unhappy mothers…

gen. minakush.

so the summary doesn’t look like much. don’t worry about the summary.

i went through tons of different fav fics in my middle school naruto ffn.net days, most notably hakumei and yosei, but this is the one fic that i can currently say, with absolute certainty, is a masterpiece. it’s essentially a folklore canon au.

quill of molliemon’s pokemon au is also worth checking out. it’s much more lighthearted, but was abandoned at the absolute worst cliffhanger ever.

favorites:

a casket full of victory by liffae

It’s easier to break than mend. And so, for everything she learned to heal, Sakura learned a thousand times to end.

incomplete. gen.

i debated putting this fic in the absolute favs category, but while the first chapter is a masterpiece, the other ones are amazing, but not quite that good. i may yet change my mind as the plot develops.

some gems of quotes include “on her good days, she is merely broken, but on the bad days, she also wants to break the world.”

a policeman’s lot is not a happy one by lucillia

Despite the fact that the job was practically a sinecure, the Uchiha officers of the Konoha Military Police Force didn’t just hang around drinking coffee and snacking on doughnuts. Even though they didn’t particularly care for Konoha’s other residents, they had a job to do. And, as a matter of pride, they did it well. Even when it took them to the darkest places…

a world of truth by luchia

The world is trapped in an illusion which removes anger, hate, and death. It's paradise, giving everyone everything they've ever wanted and reviving anyone they've ever lost. Nearly two years into the illusion, Sasuke snaps back to his senses and must decide whether to keep the world in false bliss, or return it to war-torn reality.

sasunaru. kakaobirin.

kakaobirin is the magic word t b h.

and i’m your lionheart by blackkat

He cannot help but compare himself to the swords that hang on the wall, silver and pale and edged with red, kept in sheathes until they’re needed to kill.

(At five years old he takes a needle and inks red into his own skin, sharp slashes like the cut of a knife on each cheek, and it’s the first time Uchiha Tajima ever looks at him and smiles.)

madara/tobirama.

backslide by blackkat

Naruto’s friends are gone, his lover is dying, Konoha is destroyed, and Madara’s second return has pushed the entire world to the brink. Hunted and harried, Naruto is sent back in time to upend Madara’s plan before it even starts, and sets about changing everything. Butterfly effect nothing: the world is at stake, and Naruto is hardly about to let it fall to ruin once more. Not while he’s still breathing.

kakanaru.

don’t look at me like that, it’s time travel.

better than maybe by fowl68

Three of those years had been spent in war. The other two… well, Naruto had always been an avid trickster and everyone knows that the greatest trick ever pulled was making the entire world believe you don’t exist.

break the sky by liffae

One lesson Uzumaki Naruto taught the world was that glass ceilings are fragile, and limits are only for the fools who believe in them.

gen.

this one was a surprise favorite for me. i honestly didn’t think i’d like it, and then i did. a lot. god. fem!naruto.

cities of ghosts by fowl68

And as soon as they’re gone, the man resets the board and plays against no one once more. And most every time, he loses. Post-Apocalyptic

dance the silence down to morning by blackkat

Obito is used to being no good. He’s used to trying and failing and trying again, progressing by inches while everyone around him is bounding forward. He’s thirteen, hardly an Uchiha at all, too weak, too clumsy, too bad at jutsus. But now there’s something in his head, something filled with hurt and tempered rage, and the most chilling part is that it’s him.

kakaobi.

dive for dreams by blackkat

In which the Sage of Six Paths decides he doesn’t like the ending, and Tobirama gets dragged along to fix things. The outcome is most definitely not what he expected.

madara/tobirama.

don’t think this ship could ever work out? this fic will change your mind.

one blood by fowl68

They’re all ghosts, specters of a war that, when the next generation heard about it, would be little more than myth and history lessons.

one small kindness by digitaltart

Uchiha Mikoto takes the hand of an outcast child, and with it rewrites the destiny of her clan. AU.

only true in fairy tales by blackkat

“Well, it’s only noon and I've already been shot twice and had a flower vase broken over my head. I’d hate to see what the rest of the day has in store for me.”

(Or, the continuing adventures of Obito the eco-warrior/somewhat-reformed terrorist and his besotted boyfriend Kakashi.)

kakaobi.

did someone say criminals!au? :’)))

reverse by blackkat

To make a tragedy, you break something beautiful and frame the pieces. To make a victory, you break something mighty and rebuild it piece by piece. To make a life, you glue the pieces together and hope for the best. Kurama's still getting the hang of this ‘human’ thing, but given that he’s 30 years back in time with catastrophes to prevent and a blond brat to save, he’ll have to figure things out on the fly. Luckily, living with Naruto's been good for his ability to improvise, if nothing else.

kakashi/kurama, eventually. maybe. ahaha.

ten extremely unimportant facts about the yondaime by lisse

Everyone assumes he’s going to be the team medic. Until he kills his first enemy, he agrees with them.

minakush.

ten years gone by 100demons

Thirty year old Kakashi was supposed to have been killed by Pein during the Invasion. Instead, he wakes up in the body of his twenty year old self.

(It gets a lot more complicated.)

the full umino experience by pentapus

The scarred ninja sighed. "You couldn't have brought them by earlier?"

"No," Asuma-sensei said, and he was still smiling, "I wanted them to get the full Umino experience."

Ino shot a look to her left: Shikamaru's eyes were open wider than their usual droop. What the hell was the Umino experience, those eyes seemed to say.

kakairu.

the mirror wheel eye by pentapus

Iruka saw his first execution barely a year after the Kyuubi. The executioner was a wire thin ninja in combat uniform, one eye covered and his hair almost white in the brutal sun.

kakairu.

three scratched out words by fowl68

They fit with each other, in that strange, ragtag way that teenagers do. "She survived, and she'll be stronger for it."

gen. rin-centric.

thunder by fowl68

Irony loved Itachi. It was his silent servant, always there and never expected. It’s why he finds it horribly ironic that everything comes back to lightning in the end.

uncivil war by fowl68

She doesn’t ask him to come back. It’s a foolish, hopeful thing to say these days.

Ship(s): hidekane 

It was very different, in a sense, to not have to fear for his life or the safety of those close to him every passing moment. It was nice, almost pleasurable. But Kaneki had forgotten what pleasure felt like, so he couldn’t be entirely sure. Although, he was fairly certain being able to sit down in the mornings, have a freshly brewed cup of coffee, read a couple chapters of his book, and go about the rest of his day freely and peacefully was indeed enjoyable.He wondered how long it would last. ----- AU in which Hide and Kaneki have never met and ghouls are slowly (and painfully) integrating into human society.

Hajime is apparently something of a masochist, and as he stares down at the tie-dyed AREA51 T-shirt in his hands, he thinks “I’m totally in love with this asshole, aren't I?”

"You blew up your apartment," Hajime echoes, dully. Even after four repetitions, Hajime is still struggling to comprehend how Oikawa managed to cause so much property damage just making Christmas candy. He's got the sneaking suspicion that Oikawa'd done the damage on purpose, somehow, probably for some ridiculous, melodramatic reason that only makes sense in that twisted head of his. But that's a little far, even for Oikawa. "You blew up your apartment."
