Summary
Some of Konoha's chuunin take part in a jonin-training exercise over the summer, where each participant is paired with a jonin instructor chosen by Tsunade. Except not all the pairs are a match made in heaven, as Iruka can attest to when his own partner tries everything he can to get out of it. Joke's on Kakashi - Iruka is determined to see this exercise through, with or without him!

Summary
“Iruka fell asleep in my bed,” Naruto complains. “But I wasn’t tired.”
“Oh?” Kakashi asks. This wouldn’t be the first time that Iruka has gone in for a bedtime story and come stumbling out an hour or two later, rubbing sleep from his eyes. Kakashi doesn’t know how he manages it; Naruto is not a peaceful sleeper by any stretch of the imagination.
“The poor guy was really tuckered out,” Naruto says, a perfect imitation of Iruka, and Kakashi doesn’t bother hiding his smile. He’d probably mind Naruto having a favourite parent more if Iruka wasn’t his favourite, too.
(or: Iruka's longer-than-usual work hours are making him exhausted and cranky, so Naruto and Kakashi assign themselves the important mission of getting him to take some time off. Predictably, it goes a little sideways.)

Summary
Iruka knew that he and Kakashi weren't fated to be, but they kept coming together, time after time. A lot has changed since the end of the war, and while Iruka felt a sense of hope, he couldn't help but to feel a lingering sense of dread. The uncertainty of his future and the ghosts of his past keep him off-balanced, and Kakashi even more so.
Decisions need to be made, but Iruka's hesitant to make them.

Summary
Alpha Jounin Shinobi are required to be married and mated by the age of 20 per village policy, but somehow Hatake Kakashi has managed to wiggle his way around that policy for the past 8 years. When he's caught out, there is only one person in the entire village suited to be his husband...
and Umino Iruka is not happy about it.
((COMPLETE!))

Summary
Worship: the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
Kakashi loves Iruka, more than he ever thought he could love another human being. Drawn in by the light, darkness always find its way again.
