A Very Gay Hug

A thunderstorm

Consider this: Naruto remembering how bad his time at the orphanage was, so he makes his own orphanage where he takes care of a bunch of kids and he just one big mother hen?

First things first for this shiny new AU we take the vast majority of canon and we just … shove it over there and put a tarp over it.  It’s my playground now.

And it’s not, exactly, what you asked about but my mind took a sharp left turn so uhhhhhhhh…. here?

So Sarutobi is old right? He’s old and he’s tired and Minato, his precious successor and tragic predecessor, has left him with a shattered village out for blood and a babe weighted down by burden far heavier than one small child should ever be forced to carry.

Sarutobi, with his age catching up to him and his beloved Biwako gone now too … well in the end he only has the strength to handle one of those things.

He tries at first of course.  Places Naruto with minders and nurses.  It ends … poorly.  For the babe and the one’s assigned to watch him.

But Sarutobi still tries.  For four years he tries.

Until the time comes when he’s left staring down at Naruto on a hospital bed, too thin and too wild, with two dead matrons left in his ANBU’s wake.

In that moment Sarutobi knows he’s just … stretched too thin to keep doing this.

And the needs of the many have always took precedence over the needs of the few, or the one.

So when Danzo comes to call, hands out stretched and whispers of strength and protection, promises of training and loyalty on his lips ….

Sarutobi weeps that night, closed in the privacy of his office.

He weeps but he doesn’t call for the child back.

exile as a concept is so funny. it's like "we don't care what you do after you leave just as long as you get the fuck out and we never have to see you ever again"

lizard out there really gonna do it

Hi! If you're still taking requests for the headcanons meme, can I suggest Percy Jackson? Thanks!

Anonymous asked:

Gutcanon for Percy Jackson (the character) for the askmeme please!!

Anyway, my life got hectic and I haven’t gotten to Mark of Athena yet, so here bear with me here folks.

Percy isn’t a book-smart genius like Annabeth, but he’s also not actually stupid.  He suffers from a severe case of everyone has been a dick about his learning disabilities his entire life.  Annabeth gets him a couple audiobooks for his birthday one year, after he discovers that holy shit, he can do chores if he listens to something interesting, and suddenly Percy is burning through marine biology like fire on an oil slick.  Classrooms are never going to be his strong suit, but he figures out how to thread headphones through his shirt so they don’t get caught on anything and destroys training dummies for three hours while he’s listening to a book about the development of study methods for whale migration habits or something.  Annabeth gets to be the one on the receiving end of a tirade about a niche subject she doesn’t understand for a change.  She’s weirdly charmed by the experience–Percy’s old for his age and tired by a lot of things and it’s good to see him light up like this.

Also, she realizes suddenly why Percy stares at her mouth a lot when she talks about architecture.  She has no idea what he’s talking about with this octopus war in the Great Barrier Reef but it’s extremely sexy to watch.

Percy really is Poseidon’s favorite son.  It’s not something Poseidon bandies about–he tries to keep it pretty quiet, actually, hoping to protect Percy from the backlash–but the way that Percy combines an apparently sincere disinterest in accumulating power for power’s sake with an absolutely vicious determination to achieve his goals at pretty much any cost is…it appeals, to the god of the sea.  The sea is not ambitious.  As long as you remember its power and remain on the right side of luck, the sea is not seeking to overrun you just for the sake of dominion.  The sea simply is, and always has been, and always will be, and will not be caged or controlled.  

Poseidon has had a lot of children, and he has loved many of them, and he does not think he has seen one who is quite so much the Son of the Sea God as Percy Jackson.

He watches Percy take the whole of Olympus to task, risks his neck against Zeus’ uncertain temper as he accuses the gods of negligence, and underneath the first prideful stirring of offense, he wishes that Percy had taken the godhood.  It would be good to be able to gloat about his son, secure in the knowledge that Percy was too powerful to be harmed.
