Summary
Kakashi knew, when he died, that he'd be leaving everything behind. He'd accepted that; he'd already died once, after all, and all his precious people were as well as they could be. He was content.
Until he opened his eyes once again, thunder rumbling in his ears and the lingering taste of ozone on his tongue.
Or:
Kakashi is reborn into the Jujutsu world. He didn't expect to pick up a bunch of precious people on the way, but here he is.

Summary
Alastor's been in something of a slump. He's in a job he theoretically loves working under a man he hates, his only real friendship is with a woman who doesn't really know him and who he doesn't want to know him, and he hasn't found it in himself to kill anyone in over a year.
Then, one Wednesday, a new man and his daughter blow into town, and Alastor's life will never be the same again.
He hopes.

Summary
Several weeks have passed since the fallout of the airport massacre, Dazai has donned the mafia-black once again as the returned 'Demon Prodigy'. Those who remain with the ADA are desperate to return to some semblance of normalcy.
Ranpo starts taking cases by the dozen, more as a protective measure over anything else. Until the Metropolitan Police start pulling politics, sidelining him with cold cases and even colder silences.
Weeks later he is wakes with a phone-call, pressing the urgency of having his eyes on some more fresh material.
Picking up this homicide case was supposed to be his chance to show up Minoura for falling in-line with poor enforcement policy. Instead, he's caught in a constrictive moral snare:
If his glasses are the key to bringing the truth to light, why can't he bring himself to look at his closest friend and clear him as the primary suspect?

Summary
Logically, Sakura was perfectly aware that people other than Kakashi-sensei had the legal right to wear masks. But right now, Sakura was running solely on spite and two days' worth of sleep deprivation. Although his hair was a different texture, and his face a different shape, he was just similar enough to cause her a sharp pang of agony.
She missed her friends. And if she dwelled on it for too long, she’d start to slide into the depths of depression. Well, Sakura didn’t want to be depressed.
So what else was there to do but to get angry?
Or, Sakura finds an old friend and punches someone out, not in that order.

Summary
All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.
Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.
