Summary
Zanka cannot stop thinking about Jabber after their last encounter. There's absolutely no way that he actually has feelings for that insane Raider, though. No, clearly Zanka has just been scratched by Mankira so many times that he's developed an addiction to the toxins Jabber uses and that's why he feels the need to seek Jabber out.
In reality, it may not be the toxins that Zanka is addicted to.
Sequel to In the Eye of the Storm, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
Zanka has a storm constantly raging inside, yelling at him and telling him he isn’t good enough. When he runs into Jabber on patrol, the storm goes silent, leading to Zanka's inner beast being unleashed for the first time.
In the eye of the storm, Zanka finds out just how satisfying it is to have Jabber at his mercy.

Summary
Naruto does what he does best, and runs out into the thick of things without thinking. Because of that, Iruka is forced to face his least favorite person on the battlefield: his treacherous ex, Mizuki. He must protect Naruto from the crazy man’s revenge scheme, and if he gets to hurt Mizuki in the process, all the better.
A lackluster summary for my take on the Mizuki escape filler arc.

Summary
The chuunin exams are always a busy time for everyone in the village, and Iruka is no exception. Unfortunately for him, this year’s chuunin exams bring the added strain of Naruto putting himself in danger and forcing Iruka to accept that he is no longer a child. It also doesn’t help that Kakashi seems to be everywhere Iruka looks, making him feel constantly on edge. Their relationship didn’t work out, but by the end of the exams that won’t be the only opportunity that Iruka misses out on.

Summary
Fresh out of the hospital with a still-healing back wound, Iruka is determined to move Naruto into his apartment so they can officially settle into life as a family. And if moving Naruto's furniture is what keeps Iruka busy enough so he doesn't have time to think about Mizuki's betrayal, then no one needs to know that except him.
Slice of life fic that features exasperated older brother Asuma.

Summary
A self-indulgent Iruka-centric Naruto AU in which Iruka adopts Naruto when the boy is still fairly young and the characters I care about get a bit more character growth. All the fics are technically connected (although I won't promise perfect continuity because my writing tends to be a bit too disorderly for that) and will document the events of the series from Iruka's point of view.
The main ship is Kakashi/Iruka, but other pairings will be implied or mentioned.

Summary
Soulmates are so rare that some think of them as old-wives tales. They are said to be so connected they can speak directly into the others mind.
Zanka doesn't think he has one until that stupid Raider, Jabber, heeds his psychic warning moments before being eaten by a trash beast.
The only thing he hates more than this revelation is the feeling of how right it felt.

Summary
Zanka liked to believe that he was always perfectly composed. He wore a polished mask over his face, never let his guard down, and even when he was fucking Jabber into the mattress in some dingy safehouse, those ridiculous eyebrows of his were still tense with focus.
Jabber wanted to see it slip.

Summary
"I can't blame him." Wei Wuxian finished lamely. "If he wasn't the most perfect husband in the world, no way would he have known who it was."
"I recognized you." Jiang Cheng nudged him. "First, by the way."
"You thought every demonic cultivator was me for like what, thirteen years?" But he couldn't deny it. Somehow, the make-up, the act, the new body, hadn't been enough to hide behind. Jiang Cheng had known.
Or how, after a year, Wei Wuxian finally has time to think about what it really means to be in a stranger's body.
