    Summary

    “Hey sensei,”

    The voice is distant, small. Familiar?

    “I hope resting really is what you need. I don’t know what to do now. The others want to stay, but I’m…”

    His eyes crack open to a blurry mess of a world. Everything swims, and the pain in his head seems to have narrowed, shooting through his eye but deep and back and fuck it hurts to think. Overwhelming nausea follows.

    That small voice dissolves into the quiet, choking hiccups of someone trying to hide their tears.

    Her hair is bright, bubble gum pink. It hurts to look at. She looks real.

    -

    His name is Hatake Kakashi. He is a jounin of Konahagakure no Sato. He doesn’t feel like that’s true. Something is very wrong with him.

     

    He is thirty-five years old, a university student for the second time, hardly attached to his country, let alone his town, and he was a teenager when he last properly watched Naruto. Waking up as the traumatised goofy teacher guy must be some kind of joke.

    For every rising star that the shinobi world produces, a hundred other geniuses are chewed up and spit out. Seiko crawls out of that grinder, only to find that she still has the rest of her life to face head on.

    OBSESSED WITH THIS!!! (it is slice of life and in the background; PLOTS: foiled; THINGS: being set on fire; CLANS: being semi-unwilling dragged into begrudging alliances with the protag out of respect and social relationship building). there's also the important thematic exploration of the protag's chronic pain/how that affects their path in a ninja village and Everything else!!!!!

    Summary

    Mr. Shen tells an excellent, tragic story. Unfortunately for him, Ciel Phantomhive has made a career of noticing the parts that don't fit.

    A dead diplomat, an opium ledger with one unexplained initial, and a boy who quotes Hopkins like he means it. London, 1888, has never seen a man quite like Shen Yuan, and the Earl of Phantomhive has never encountered a mystery quite like him.

    If memory survives death, can language survive translation too?

    Structure-wise, prose-wise, CHARACTER DYNAMIC-wise!! THIS IS EVERYTHING a crossover of this type needed, not to mention the amazing dialogue and thoughtful layering of historical context into the mystery it's so good!! LISTEN. Well worth the hours and hours of reading and the literary quotes and dialogue interplay is just delicious

    Summary

    A long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away—no, even farther than that—a series of insignificant events affects everyone in massive ways no one could have foreseen: not even either of the two remaining people who can see the future. A messiah's prophecy is fulfilled. A family is reunited. A democracy is restored. None of it is easy, and none of it is perfect, but it's a start.

    In other words: Anakin Skywalker just wants to be able to look his daughter in the eye. So, since there's no one else around who can give him a kick in the pants, he does so himself; and with great reluctance (and even more grumbling), he sets about fixing the galaxy he played a large role in screwing up.

    (Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until further notice.)

    ABSOLUTELY CRYING over how hilarious this fic chooses to be..........yes, there is the love for his children but also adding in vader's exremely tangible hatred of actually running things and dealing with bureaucracy and being motivated to make it a functioning republic again elevates this fic from a sensible chuckle to a Masterpiece in comedy :DDD

    saving this for rereading later but im so so so excited by the delicate unwinding of emotion, and all of essek's heartache and fear and the in-character dialogue with caleb!!! OUGH
