Summary
「いつだって君には私がいるから」
Iruka woke up one day and found himself confined underneath a crazy woman’s home, hidden within a dark, dingy crawlspace, with his hands tied to a rusty water pipe above him. Worst of all was the younger boy right next to him, suffering the same fate. He never thought of himself as the self-sacrificing type, but the moment Iruka looked into Naruto’s terrified eyes, something within him solidified, and he knew that he would do anything to keep this boy safe.
To get this boy home.
And so Iruka refused to let their situation corrode away his determination to protect and fight for Naruto, and kept his promise to always be there for him.
But getting free and keeping his word was only the beginning of everything, and Iruka would find that he was made of stronger stuff than he thought possible when faced with a world he no longer recognized. His life would change for the worst, then for the better, and at the end of a long road of recovery and struggle, Iruka would find that he was made of rhodium.
And within the hands of Hatake Kakashi, a man made of rhodium was far more precious than anyone could imagine.

Summary
It wasn't too difficult for Kakashi to ensure he was in Konoha every September fifteenth. Unlike ANBU, jōnin's lives weren't controlled every minute of every day.
Kakashi almost wished they were.
Then he would have an excuse to stop the self-destructive cycle.

Summary
Being in the Hokage’s Tower is fine. Kakashi knows his role when he wears the Rokudaime Hokage’s robes, no matter how heavy they feel as they hang from his shoulders. No, it’s when he goes home that the problems start.
* * *
After the end of the war and establishment of a new world order, both Iruka and Kakashi do their best to settle into Konoha's new normal.
Weddings, educational reform, insomnia, post-Sharingan headaches, learning new jutsu, and the inevitable unending stacks of paperwork all combine into the beginning of something new between them.Series

Summary
Iruka's always been made aware that his big heart would be his undoing, but he never expected it'd happen from helping out a fellow shinobi in need.
or: the one where Iruka helps Kakashi keep his face hidden away in a fit of chivalry, and sets tongues wagging for it. Brings back memories, that does.
