Well, I ended up starting a new fanfic for KHR after taking a decade-long break. My goodness. It's been 9 years and 4 months since I last posted KHR fanfic.

... Wait...... I could have waited another 6 months and then the time span would've been the same as when Tsuna time-travelled to the future?!

Darn, missed opportunity.

Anyway, it's my first time posting something brand new in AO3, and I had fun figuring out which tags I should use for the story. I took a look at some of the fandom-specific tags, and I am so intrigued by some of them (Flame Theory and Lore sounds fascinating)!! I'm not prepared to do a deep dive of all the KHR ff on the site (let's not pretend it will be anything other than that when the time comes), but I sense it'll happen in my future.

Oh, I should add the link to the ff, I guess?? I hope you enjoy Home's Where the Hearth Is.

Reborn forcing Tsuna to take pictures with everyone at a gathering in the name of learning how to mingle, when it's really so Tsuna will have photos of his dear family with him when he goes off on his solo journey.

Nana knows things?

I said that I had a headcanon about Nana knowing things. Specifically, things about the Mafia. Nana doesn't appear all that much in the manga, but I figured I would let my headcanon simmer in the background as I reread KHR and share whatever thoughts come to mind.

First though: Why I think Nana knows things.

My first thought about Nana possibly knowing about the Mafia came to me while I was in class. My teacher had mentioned that a person who was anxious while pregnant could potentially give birth to a child who was more anxious than other children whose mothers hadn't been stressed during pregnancy.

Since my brain was full of KHR 24/7 at the time, I immediately thought of how jumpy Tsuna was, and if that might've had something to do with Nana being stressed while pregnant with him.

Little Me: Pushaw. Why would Nana have been stressed or anxious? She seems like a happy-go-lucky kind of woman.

Little Me: I mean, she has a Mafioso for a husband. He might bring danger with him.

Little Me: Y'know, what if she got roped into the Mafia while she was pregnant?

Little Me: ... Nana, on the run from the Mafia, while pregnant? Or getting caught in Dying Will Flame battles??

Little Me: ... Nana knows things.

I haven't done enough research to use this as the basis of my idea, so I don't; I no longer connect Tsuna's personality to what Nana may or may not have experienced in the past, but one thing led to another, and now I have this headcanon of Nana knowing things.

It wouldn't go away.

Bianchi stresses over Hayato hating her cooking. Nana, of course, takes one bite of Bianchi's poison cooking, declares that it's inedible, and proceeds to teach Bianchi how to cook.
