5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: Alt Mentor Again
Some more alt mentor but in fandoms outside the DCU this time.
It takes a leap of faith (AO3) - Desmond Miles (sort of) on Coruscant during Clone Wars.
Stepping Up (AO3) - "Shang Qinghua accidentally brings Luo Binghe in as a disciple of An Ding Peak instead of Qing Jing Peak. Thankfully, there don't seem to be any requirements that he step up and become the new villainous mentor figure, so he decides to ignore the problem until further notice."
The Mad Dog And His Little Trickster (AO3) - "How did Kurusu Akira know how to wield a dagger so proficiently? As soon as he got one in his hands at Kamoshida's dungeon, it disappeared in a flurry of slashes while he killed Shadows with frightening skill and accuracy. Perhaps a certain Mad Dog of Shimano could answer that question; that is, if he didn't already stick a knife between your ribs."
Taylor: Hero of Legacy! (Worm x Super Sentai Generations) (SB) - "During a certain accident, the Shard [Queen Administrator] absorbed the data, fascinated by what she found. The potential of such a device was amazing. Now all she needed was a host with attitude! Eh, Taylor was stubborn. Close enough."
To Be a Spectre (AO3) - "What if Nihlus survived Eden Prime? What would change? At first, it might not seem like much at all..."
Bonus: Sasuke Uchiha's way of being mentor to three D brothers (AO3) - "Ace stared at the unconscious man with raven-black hair, dressed in strange black clothes. He couldn’t sense any immediate danger from him—perhaps because the man was still unconscious—but something in his gut told him that this person would eventually become important to him."
