    Summary

    When Gwayne's nephew is brought to ward in Oldtown, he feels a great deal of kinship for a boy who was torn from all the family he has ever known. In spite of not being named one of the prince's official guardians, Gwayne becomes his nephew's protector whilst begrudgingly allowing his cousin a place in the young prince's life as they learn how to navigate the other's approaches to parenting, and have a fair few arguments along the way.

    Or

    A series of drabbles of Daeron's upbringing in Oldtown focusing on Gwayne and Ormund's bond forged from loving the same child

    Summary

    Alyssa doesn't mind being second in everything: birth order, beauty, her father's favour. There are advantages to the shadow she's been living in. But when even Rhaenyra, fierce, charming, witty, is eclipsed by their baby brother, where does that leave the other princess?

    To escape a court that has grown less and less hospitable for Targaryen princesses, Alyssa needs to find a husband, preferably one who stays out of court politics and can offer her the quiet life she seeks. But fate and her father bow to Lord Otto, so Alyssa soon finds herself betrothed to Ser Ormund Hightower, who has no taste for dragons and less taste for her. Their sympathies do not signify, however: A promise made before the gods is binding and their fates are intertwined for better, for worse.

    Summary

    Sakura could do this. She was a shinobi of Konoha, a brave kunoichi. She could do this. It would be fine. Perfectly fine.

    She took a deep breath and said in the most normal tone she could muster, "My parents wanted me to invite the three of you to dinner tomorrow night." It still came out a little bit strangled.

    In front of her, Sensei grew very still.

    "Oh," he finally managed.

    *

    The Harunos are eager to meet their daughter’s new genin team. Sakura isn’t sure that’s a good idea. Kakashi scrambles to groom his feral-raccoon students into something that won’t send Sakura’s parents running for the hills. Naruto and Sasuke are trying…someone’s best, that’s for sure.

    Summary

    He warned them. Repeatedly. Kakashi didn’t want a genin team. Kakashi had no idea of what to do with a genin team. He was self-aware enough to know he wasn’t quite right in the head. He should not be trusted with a bunch of children.

    But did the Sandaime hear him? No, because the Sandaime wasn’t Minato-sensei and the old man never listened to him. And he went ahead with the brilliant idea of saddling him with his dead sensei’s son, Itachi’s little brother, and a kunoichi who was so much a cannon fodder that she had a literal target on her bright red dress.

    He would not be blamed for the shitshow that was about to start.

    OR.

    Kakashi only knows how to teach three things: survival, assassination, and pretending to be normal. Good thing that's exactly what his cute little genins need to learn. And if they also learned how to be a family in the process, well, that's just a bonus.

    Summary

    The Arrangement is simple: when a Jonin Instructor is called away on a mission, another one agrees to look after their genin. Asuma is fine with that — until he remembers that Kakashi is an asshole.

    Or: Asuma has to look after Team Seven and stubbornly refuses to quit smoking.
