Summary
Iruka Umino survives the Konoha Crush, but the peace that follows is anything but quiet. Nightmares stalk his sleep, the Academy demands more of him each day, and the village keeps moving while he stays stuck in the ashes of the past. When an ANBU mission leaves Kakashi Hatake critically wounded, Iruka is the one Pakkun drags into the dark to keep him alive.
Bringing Kakashi home should have been temporary—just a few days of monitoring burns and broken ribs. Instead, it becomes something neither of them planned: shared mornings over tea, quiet dinners, the steady ache of grief eased by proximity. Kakashi sees the strength Iruka hides, the talent he buries, and the wounds Mizuki left behind. Iruka sees the man behind the mask, exhausted and reckless, and still trying to save the entire world alone.
Or Kakashi and Iruka finally realize they choose each other and navigate old enemies and old bloodlines together.

Summary
Jenna was just trying to survive. A late-night security shift, a bank robbery gone sideways, and a string of impossible events she can't explain. Now she's being hunted for a crime she didn't commit-and saved by strangers who don't seem entirely human.
I am just trying to gauge how this sounds to a more general audience; I would love feedback. :)

Summary
Sergeant Rae Harris isn't here to make friends-she's here for the science, the silence, and maybe the auroras. A former US Marine turned Arctic ecology intern, Rae thought Svalbard's remote snowfields would be a place to heal. Instead, she finds herself embedded in a research team unraveling under pressure, watched by soldiers pretending not to be soldiers, and shadowed by secrets no one wants to admit.
At the center of it all is Major Johan Lindström: silent, precise, frustratingly unreadable. Rae doesn't trust him. Doesn't trust herself around him either. But when weather traps them and a teammate's life hangs in the balance, she'll have to choose: fall back on instinct, or let someone else take the lead for once.
