Notes: Yamamoto regularly mind screws Gokudera.Ĭountdown by metisket: A series of vignettes about Tsuna, his guardians, and the people closest to him-snapshots of the impact they all have on each other (and that life has on them) over ten years.Īlternative summary: He never wanted to stand out, not in either direction. Tsuna can't decide if this is a good thing or just the cause of more ridiculous problems. Relative Reality by metisket: Yamamoto and Gokudera have lunch together every Saturday. Notes: A day in the life of Hibari Kyouya, lover of small helpless animals. The Dead and the Forsworn by metisket: Hibari is starting to doubt that his carefully ordered world will ever recover from Sawada Tsunayoshi. “You? A*kid? *Aren’t there laws against people like you breeding?” On the Outside by metisket: Iemitsu’s disturbing youth and misadventures in parenting.Īlternative summary: “You have a kid?” Lal Mirch looks betrayed by the world. On the other hand, both his animals and his child seem happy, if odd, so maybe it works out. There is an implied unrequited pairing.Ĭlose to Home by metisket: Everyone watching the spectacle that is Hibari Kyouya raising a child in fascinated horror.Īlternative summary: Hibari treats child-rearing almost exactly like animal-training-the same basic pattern modified for a bipedal, very intelligent creature. Notes: A Yamamoto character study where he plays off of the people in his life. He’s pretty sure that for most people, not being a murderer is way easier than being one. Notes: Short piece set immediately after the Byakuran arc when all of the characters have returned to their normal lives, and Tsuna's dealing with balancing his new, scarier self vs the world outside of the mafia.įor the Love of the Game by metisket: In which Yamamoto wanders through life smiling, joking, and terrifying bystanders.Īlternative summary: It strikes him as weird that he’s had to struggle not to kill people, that it’s been such a challenge. Social disaster accomplished, Hibari walks on by. Tsunahiki by metisket: Tsuna's ongoing, sort of unwilling attempts to be everything to everyone.Īlternative summary: “Someone else threatening Sawada Tsunayoshi?” Hibari says in passing, mildly interested. The premise is a little wonky to me, but I am extremely fond of the story itself. Nana is the villainous parent in this, leaving Iemitsu as the oblivious-but-innocent loving parent who is left in the dust when Tsuna runs away from home after a Ienari is convincingly portrayed as a budding psychopath. Tsuna is a shy genius who is dramatically outshone by his abusive, athletic twin brother.

Three years later, Reborn arrives to train Nari, only to discover that there's one Sawada missing. He won't change who he is just to make them like him so he leaves. But being himself means a mom and a brother who don't care about him, and Tsuna doesn't have enough tolerance to overlook it for long. Tsuna's never liked attention so it's only natural for Ienari to stand out more. Unfortunately, Iemitsu is a belligerent ass as per the author's self described 'bashing.' Give It a Year is a collection of one-shots taking place in this universe. A moderately decent canon rehash trickles the characters into slightly better circumstances than where they'd started. Notes: Master of Death Harry Potter strolls into town with Shamal when Tsuna gets Skullitis.

And all of a sudden, everything changes, another path is laid out, and what little sense left in Tsuna's world promptly flies out the proverbial window. Raison d'Être by cywscross: A few weeks after Reborn arrives in Namimori and Tsuna's life is turned upside-down, a young man with ancient eyes and an easygoing smile wanders into town as well.

General author recs are cywscross, Lys ap Adin (great author, but usually not my thing), Nightsmoke, metisket, and long live marshmallows. There are a number of readable/decent KHR fics out there, and I've been burning my way through the archives for the past few months.
