    Summary

    Before marriage, Danzo believed shinobi were disposable tools. Married Danzō, however, has a husband from another planet who keeps dropping foreign childcare journals onto his desk with increasingly alarming facts.

    Apparently, children need affection. They need hugs. Extended touch deprivation can permanently affect brain development, leading to anxiety, depression, low self-worth, impaired empathy, addiction, mental illness, and even lower cognitive development. Deliberately raising emotionally broken children is not only monstrously cruel—it's also objectively inefficient.

    And so, ROOT changes.

    Torture becomes trauma-informed training. Indoctrination becomes parenting. The child soldiers become adopted disasters. There are mandatory meals, birthdays, counseling, praise for a job well done and more.

    Officially, every reform is a calculated strategic decision designed to produce more stable, loyal, and effective shinobi.

    Unofficially... Root agents start smiling at him.

    No one is more horrified by this development than Danzo himself.

    Summary

    The Ring Battles are happening in a week and Varia still haven't been able to reach their Sky or find a way to stop the farce of a Ring Battle.
    So they plan.
    And they come up with the worse (best?) idea of how to fill in the missing Cloud Guardian spot.

    Summary

    Jinwoo appears while Tywin was standing in the middle of the ocean. Misunderstandings happen. The term Godfather isn't a thing in Westeros. Well, now it is--somewhat.

    Summary

    When Khaslana had decided to desert the Antimatter Legion and take the young twin Stellaron bearers with him, he had mostly done it out of defiance. This isn’t his first act of rebellion against his “benefactors,” but it certainly is his most egregious one, and he doubts that he’ll be so easily forgiven if and when they manage to drag him back into their fold, as they always have done.

    He only hopes he can give Caelus and Stelle a life far, far away from Destruction before that time comes.

    Because over the course of their time on the run, he has grown to cherish these two innocent children, who greet a monster like him with the purest of adoration.

    --

    In an alternate universe where Amphoreus was always real, the Antimatter Legion invaded and destroyed it, and Khaslana was turned into a Lord Ravager against his will. When he's given the task to nurture Stelle and Caelus, children who bear Stellarons in them, he flees with them instead, taking them under his wing and trying to raise them to the best of his ability.

    Summary

    “You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.

    Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.

    “Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”

    // OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.
