Summary
It’s a time loop. After Zabuza’s fifth time dying and starting over again, he felt pretty confident in that assessment, and each cycle, he only becomes more certain. The reset trigger is his death, and the start point is always right before his first confrontation with Hatake.
But no matter what he does, it ends the same.
Well, that’s not quite true. Sometimes it’s worse.
---
When Zabuza dies in the Land of Waves after Haku's sacrifice and Gato's betrayal only to wake up again at the beginning of the mission, he sees an opportunity to change things. But when all logical paths lead straight to death, Zabuza is forced to make the illogical choice--side with Hatake and hope that just once, he and Haku can make it out of this alive. Kakashi has his own motives for agreeing to an alliance, however, and with so much at stake, both shinobi find themselves far more entangled with each other than either had intended when they set out.
(Haku isn't sure what happened to Zabuza-shishou to make him care so much all of a sudden, but he's not complaining. Naruto & Sakura are already planning the wedding. And Sasuke can't believe his definitely-not-a-family just grew by 2.)

Summary
That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.
That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.
The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,
“That’s a fucking kid.”

Summary
“So then, before I can even think about doing something stupid like trying to stab him with his fucking golden paperknife, he gives me a choice, see?" Haymitch continued, almost detached. "Either I play nice like all the other victors or he will kill my family. I could either become his puppet – greatest punishment he could give me, according to him – or I could become the example.”
AU in which Haymitch's family lives. Hayffie

Summary
Jake’s anger was palpable enough to burn a hole through steel, his jaw clenched so hard that his teeth creaked audibly. “Who would choose to leave a child on Pandora? Who would have a child in an obvious warzone? Who the fuck would endanger a kid like that?” he asks, all of them rhetorical because no one would be able to answer them anyway.
“And how the hell did Selfridge think it was a good idea to tell someone just as he was getting on an aircraft to leave?!” Jake asks again, getting more irate and angry, nearly tearing his hair out at this point. “That’s like saying ‘Oh peace out guys, but don’t forget there’s a literal child in there who could starve if left alone’. Like, the fuck?!”
He flops back against his chair, his breaths heaving out in barely controlled gusts that flutter the pages strewn about him. “Actually, Norm, don’t slap him. Punch the dumbass for me into next week. Maybe that’ll get it through his thick skull,” he mutters, utterly serious in his tone and his expression.
Or!All humans leave Pandora after the final battle leaving Spider behind. Oh, and he’s blessed by Eywa. That’s it. That’s the fic.
