Summary
The life of a ninja is a dangerous one, doubly so if you belong to one of the lesser, smaller villages. When Waterfall is overrun by Rock, young Chūnin Umino Iruka is tasked to flee to Fire Country with his village's two most precious assets; their young prince, Shibuki, and the jinchūriki of the Shichibi, Fū. He's hardly surprised when Fire allows them to citizenship - the draw of a second jinchūriki is a strong incentive. Building a life in a new country is hard, but Iruka is determined to full fill his last mission as a Waterfall-nin; provide a happy, healthy home for his charges. Everything is going well - until he meets Uzumaki Naruto.
Suddenly, Iruka is a single father of three at sixteen, living with what has to be the strangest, rudest (and attractive) Alphas he's ever met; Hatake Kakashi.

Summary
The world ends and yet it keeps going. This is a story that has been told before, but what's another recitation? Iruka lives and breathes and loves and the future is uncertain.
--
It was like walking through a dream, and no one else seemed to realize that they were all in a shared dream. If Iruka could just wake up. If he could just wake up, then it would all go away and it would have all been a terrible, terrible dream, something he’d cry into his father’s shoulder about, and it would only be a horrible and far away thing.
--
Complete.

Summary
After the invasion and the death of the Sandaime, Iruka is left behind in Konoha to pick up the pieces as Naruto leaves for his special training. It's a lonely time, and it's a tough one. Everyone is struggling, from his littlest students to his shinobi friends, and Iruka is no different—the days pass in a haze of work, rebuilding, and comforting those around him.
Then something absurd happens. When an ANBU crawls through the window of Iruka's classroom after hours, half feral and positively begging to fuck him like a hound might beg for food scraps, Iruka surprises himself.
He says yes.
