Summary
Rin has, in no uncertain terms, absolutely mastered the art of customer service mode. Her smiles and cheery tone are so unwavering that if Obito hadn’t run into her on the way to the grocery store at 1 am a couple of months ago, he wouldn’t even suspect that she was even capable of acting any other way.
That’s why it’s so weird when she starts dropping the facade whenever a tall, pale woman drops by to get coffee. It starts with thinly barbed insults, and slight smirks whenever she thinks no other customers are watching, but soon enough it escalates to the point where Obito can look into her eyes and see just how dead inside she is.
They have to be flirting. There’s no other explanation for it.

Summary
Rin survives. It’s almost more than she can handle.
She had not ever, ever, ever envisioned an after. Even before she was made a jinchūriki, she had been so certain that her life would be snuffed out prematurely. She was a ninja, and the world was cruel, and there was really only one way her story was ever going to end. This, though-
She walks along the coast. No one knows that she is still here.

Summary
“He smells weird,” Rin says, in such a derisive tone that Kakashi opens his sharingan just to make sure that it’s really her.
“...Minato-sensei?” Kakashi asks, because even though he doesn’t know who Rin could be referring to besides him, it just seems so weird for her to be so rude to him.
“Yes,” Rin says, her eyes darting to Kakashi. “Like musty cheese.”
or: Rin’s odd dislike of Minato after he makes Hokage is either a sign that she’s finally snapped, or a sign of trust. Kakashi’s still deciding which.

Summary
Hands and paper on skin, digging between nerves and veins. Rin takes a shallow breath. Konan looms over her, cruel and careful all at once. She peels back a layer of skin, examines the organs, the ink and the seal that has seeped into her flesh to contain the sanbi.
Rin has never felt more seen. She has never felt more beautiful. She has never felt more loved.
or: in which one of Konaha’s jinchūriki is captured and vivisected, and is a little too pleased with the situation.

Summary
Like clockwork, missions come and go- and like clockwork, Tenzo and Rin meet at her apartment to bake. This is what life is about. This is the meaning of everything: the warm, soft moments in between everything else when they come together and simply exist, side by side. This is the point of it all.
or: Tenzo and Rin catch up over banana bread.

Summary
Rin is captured by some vague, nebulous enemy ninja- Iwa, maybe-? and compelled to tell the truth with some kind of seal. The good news is that she doesn't know any state secrets on account of being twelve. The bad news is that the stupid curse doesn’t wear off for another 23 hours, and her entire personality is a lie.

Summary
There is an old man at the back of the alley outside the convenience store Rin frequents. He might live there, but she’s not entirely sure, and she doesn’t care enough to confirm any of her suspicions. She’d love to ignore him entirely, but she does have to pay a modicum of attention to him- after all, her Hierophant social link lies in his wrinkled hands.
Danzo teaches her how to fight and his affection for her fuels her Hierophant personas. In return, she- ugh- listens to him complain about his surprisingly complicated love life.
She’s still trying to figure out whether it’s worth it to hang out with him.
or: A Persona AU in which Rin is a wildcard.
