Summary
Itachi is a shinobi. He lives, he serves, he fights, and he obeys. It is not a life he wants - not a light burden, or one that can be tossed aside as the heir to his clan. He is a pawn. A tool. To be human is a callously hopeful dream he cannot bear to consider while his family wades through a self-crafted political quagmire.
He is drowning. He is flying. Itachi wraps bruised knuckles and tries not to feel like a crow with broken wings. Sasuke deserves better. Shisui is steadily absent more often, and the elders are starting to claw their way to a coup. Itachi is backed into a corner with no way out.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru has traveled back through time and is quietly dismantling the Akatsuki for funsies, but this story isn’t about him.

Summary
The Third Hokage's attempts to bring the Third Shinobi War to a peaceful end are shattered when the envoy from Kumogakure, invited into Konoha as a guest to help negotiate a peace settlement, attempts to kidnap the infant Hinata. In the face of his own self-doubt and the rising voices of the clanheads demanding a change in leadership, Sarutobi Hiruzen steps down in favor of his greatest student, Orochimaru of the Sannin.
Torn between his own personal ambitions and the impositions of duty upon all who take up the hat, Orochimaru must hurry to kindle his own Will of Fire from the embers of Konoha's old order, lest the coming bitter cold of war sap the internally divided Leaf.

Summary
When Loid adopted Anya and they became the Forgers, he made sure that the families with the surnames Williams, Levski, Klein, and Roche that were most likely to adopt were either no longer in Berlint or at least lived in or worked on the other side of the city. For the ones that were too close for his liking, he made sure to keep Anya away from any neighborhoods or establishments that would increase the chance of a run-in. In a city of almost 1.3 million people, there was a very small chance that the Forgers would run into any of them by happenstance. It was such a small chance that Loid had discounted the possibility after doing the math.
Perhaps that chance hadn’t been small enough.
