Summary
Naruto turns to Kurama with a frown. “Did we actually die, or did we come back in time?”
Kurama stares at him. “How the fuck would I know?”
“I dunno,” Naruto responds, sarcastic enough to cut, “how the fuck do you know anything about nuclear fusion?”
The fox glances away haughtily. “I’m allowed to have hobbies.”
Kushina huffs, glaring at Kakashi. “This is your fault, isn’t it?”
Kakashi rolls his eyes. “It’s funny that you think I’ve ever had any kind of control over the way your son behaves.”

Naruto crashes into the past by accident and fixes things on purpose. Mostly.
A story about letting go, letting new people in, and learning who you are when you’re finally living for yourself.

Summary
Minato isn't quite sure what to make of Utsumi Naruto but gods does he want to figure it out—he wants to know why he feels so drawn to the man, and if he winds up dating him in the process, well. That's just fine by him.
—
Being in the past is weird, but at least Naruto is learning more about the dad he never knew. And it's going great—he's never felt so close to anyone in his life!
—
In which Minato is absolutely smitten, Naruto was never shown how healthy familial or romantic relationships work, and absolutely everyone but Naruto knows the two are together.

Summary
But it’s fine, because he has that anchor now. He’s fully connected to… whoever is holding him. The one with the pretty blue eyes. If he could, he’d ask his name. Something wraps around his thoughts and starts tugging him under, but he’s still not worried. As long as this person is there, everything is going to be…
———
Kakashi is hit with a seal meant for Naruto and wakes up with no memory of who he or anyone around him is, and he makes it everyone’s problem.
Or
What Kakashi could have if he got out of his own way.

a collection of vignettes that take place in the protocol deviation archives universe but don't fit neatly into the other fics

Summary
It’s unlikely that a child with no solid foundation upon which to train will ever make much of himself, not when the entire village is conspiring against him. It should be impossible for that child, having no formal education or training, to surpass the likes of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara through sheer willpower alone. It’s absolutely inconceivable that this child could look at everything ever known about chakra theory and go ‘...nah.’
Naruto, of course, isn’t aware of this and doesn’t really care what other people think anyways.
Featuring a stubborn boy who insists so strongly to his chakra he can control it just fine, thank you very much that it quits arguing with him;
an armyfound family comprised of smitten, reverse-adopted murder-shinobi; and the realization that life really is exactly what you make it.
