    Summary

    “What a surprise to see you here, Gen Asagiri,” the man says. He appears to be in his fifties, maybe - graying hair at the roots that fades to youthful black at the tips, like a photograph developing in reverse. His beard is unshaven, a patchy constellation of salt and pepper, but his eyes are impossibly young.

    They gleam with mischief, intelligence, and something else - something old and knowing. He watches Gen with open amusement, like someone who just found an unexpected letter in a familiar book. “I didn’t expect you. I’ve been trying for Yuzuriha or Taiju since I can’t get to Senku.”

    ---

    After the petrification, Gen starts dreaming of a man who died 3,700 years ago.

    Summary

    His grandmother was the one who taught Gen about their connection.

    Someone else might have called it magic, or a power, or a gift. But she never used any of those words. “It’s simply what we are,” she told him. “A conversation between us and the land.”

    The spirits of the place - root, leaf, cloud, river, stone - spoke to them. And they could speak back, even command to a gentle extent. Gen’s grandmother could coax stubborn plants into flourishing, call a storm’s attention until it gathered overhead, or listen to the wind mutter news from distant hills. She said every human had a connection to the earth’s spirit, but most were deaf to it. Gen and his grandmother, though - theirs ran deep. Deeper than reason, deeper than blood.

    --

    Gen is magic. This changes everything.

    Summary

    Stan runs away from a blind date. Xeno gets stood up on his.

    An empty planetarium, two tickets to a presentation about nebulae, and an improvised lie leave them sitting side by side through a night neither of them expected to remember.

    What should have been a one-night conversation ends up becoming something much harder to ignore.

    After all, stars are born in nebulae.

    And some love stories are, too.

    Summary

    Puberty is a bane, both for the young genius who whittles life away slowly stoking nature's pull on his developing sexual needs, and for his friend who's fallen under it's scathing spell.

    Summary

    His heart doesn’t belong to him — it hasn’t for a very long time, nowadays. For two years, since Obito came back to him, alive; or maybe twenty, back when his left side burned with an eye that he never felt worthy of; or maybe even twenty-eight, when he graduated from the academy and he looked back for the first and last time, blinking at blindingly orange goggles; or maybe it has never belonged to him, fate already pulling his strings before he could draw his first breath.

    Or, getting together may be a journey but Obito and Kakashi will get there — eventually. Now, if they could hurry up and do it with less drama Team 7 wouldn't feel the need to push their heads together (which they won't do, for now.)
