Happy New Year!

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported the first KakaIru Reverse Bang! You can find a masterlist of all the work created by our incredible participants in this Airtable Gallery.

We would like to thank: Our artists, writers and pinchhitters: Without you guys we wouldn't have an event; it just goes to show you no matter when or how you got into Naruto, the love the fandom has for our favourite ninja dads is eternal.

Our volunteer support team of beta readers and art-sempais for lending their critical eyes and making sure the creations are [shiny and chrome, lol wrong fandom].

And to YOU, for keeping this fandom alive -- whether you've stumbled upon this in 2023, or many years from now, keep on supporting each other; creativity thrives on engagement so keep your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman, [again lol wrong fandom] happy and shower them with love.

We hope you enjoyed our, the mods, first forays into running a larger fandom event.  Please consider leaving some feedback about the event using this form and whether you'd like to see us back again.

🌈TEAM RAIDO🌈

Artist: @Mekuro, Writer: @akumu-jubokko

Title: The Greatest Gift Word count: 5,500 Rating: General Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Tags: Hokage Hatake Kakashi, Kakashi Hatake is VERY Ready for Retirement, Hatake Kakashi Being an Amazing Uncle, gachapon, So much worldbuilding, Family Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Nya!Iruka, Nya!Kakashi, Konoha Trading Cards, Konoha VillageMarketplace, Japanese Culture, Author Felt Nostalgic Writing This, Headmaster Umino Iruka, Characters are Amazing Human Beings, KakaIru Reverse Bang 2022 (Naruto), artwork included

Summary: “They have an Iruka?” Kakashi leaned toward the glass for a second look. Sure enough, amidst the rows of Nya figures posed inside the display, there was an Iruka figure there. It was dressed in a simple Konoha uniform—very Umino-like, to be sure, but perhaps slightly dated, as Iruka very rarely wore his old anymore. From the short ears to the neat, stubby paws, the sight of the mini Iruka somehow pulled at Kakashi’s heartstrings. It made him want to play the game, to compete for the Nya and try his own luck at rolling the cute figure. He told himself that he was being silly. It was just a figure. Well—a figure of his husband. The love of his life. Who also happened to like cute things. “Maa—shit. I guess there’s no helping it.” Boruto’s blue eyes bored into him. “My mom would yell at me for saying that word.” “And your father too—so I’ve heard,” Kakashi grumbled. “What do you think are the odds I get the IruCat?” “The Nya Iruka? Statistically, you’ve got to get a lucky roll at some point, right?” “Right.” [I.e. Gacha merchants come to Konoha and shenanigans ensue]

🐕TEAM TSUME🐕

Artist: @sey, Writer: @vulcan-highblood

Title: By Blood, Bound Word count: 22,872 Rating: Explicit Warning: Graphic Depictions of Violence

Tags: Alternate Universe - Vampire. Vampire Bites, Human/Vampire Relationship, Vampire Sex, Hatake Kakashi is a Vampire, Hatake Kakashi Is Trying, Protective Hatake Kakashi, Umino Iruka Needs a Hug, Umino Iruka is Done, Blood, Blood Drinking, Blood Donation, Blood Loss, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Mutual Pining, Hatake Kakashi is a polite vampire, Umino Iruka is Exasperated, Soulmates, Miscommunication, elements of coercion, Misunderstandings, Dubious Consent to donate blood, Enthusiastic Consent to sex, Altered States, Implied/Referenced Drug Addiction, Implied/Referenced Drug Use, Light Bondage, Self-Bondage

Summary: Umino Iruka was a good shinobi. He always donated his blood without complaint (okay, without too many complaints), and understood that vampires have unique needs. But he never expected to be handed off to one of Konoha's vampires like a living bloodbag, either!

Hatake Kakashi is a good shinobi, but he's got a problem - his vampire instincts are going weird, and now he can only drink one person's blood. Umino Iruka isn't thrilled by the idea, but at least he's willing to help. Hopefully this can all be resolved soon, and Kakashi won't need to impose any longer than absolutely necessary.

Title: Third-Level Necromancy Word count: 1103 Rating: Teen Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Alternate Universe - Dungeons & Dragons, Temporary Character Death, Canon-Typical Violence, like Kakashi dies many times but always comes back, so there's some blood, Scars, Implied/Referenced Suicide, for Sakumo and vague ideation from Kakashi, Fluff and Angst, Animal Death, in d&d like encounters, but we are fast and loose on d&d rules babey, KakaIru Reverse Bang 2022 (Naruto)

Summary: Honored Paladin Hatake Kakashi is very good at dying. He fights evil with no rest, his oath allowing him to return from the dead without cost again and again, as long as there’s a cleric around to revive him. An endless battle with no rest in sight is his lot in life (and death) and he’s accepted it.

Assigned to investigate the blighted lands together, Cleric Umino Iruka seems determined to drag Kakashi not only back to life, but back to living.
