  1. Summary

    Circuses barter in fantasy; they bottle the impossible, box the unbelievable, and pawn it all for cash. And why shouldn't they? There's an audience. And while it's all well and good for Barnum and Bailey to sell that audience the "firebreather sumersaulting over ten lined-up elephants" kind of fantasy, there's cheaper options that do the trick. If you're looking to make someone question their eyes, you don't need a magical castle - you just need a stage and some freaks to throw on them.

    TL;DR: It's the 1920s, Caine is travelling across America running a ramshackle exploitation sideshow, and all of the cast are freaks under his dubiously-ethical employ.

    Summary

    A psychopathic killer blends in to society by wearing a mask of normalcy. He has nothing but the joy of killing and he feels nothing for other people. However, when confronted with the question of whether or not he was lonely, he takes it upon himself to do an experiment. Could he do what his mother couldn’t? Could he raise a normal child?

    Aka the one where Melon kidnaps baby Legosi and raises him as his own out of nothing but curiosity and the desire for control.

    Summary

    Picking up the pot, Gaara straightens, letting Naruto get a better view of the cactus. It’s green, plump, with flat pads speckled with clusters of tiny spines.

    “What’s that for?"

    “Oh.” He looks somewhat uncomfortable—it’s comfortingly familiar. One of the Five Classic Gaara Expressions that Naruto has come to memorize; a step below the elusive half-smile. “It’s for you.”

    Naruto stares at it, then glances back up at him, searching for some kind of indication as to what the esteemed Kazekage is doing here on a random afternoon with a random cactus for him. He reaches no conclusion.

    The first cactus makes sense. The ones that follow... Well, Naruto's trying to figure that out.

    Summary

    “You’re right, I should make it an official mission,” a slow smile pulled at her lips, “Nonlethal capture, you called it? Hey, kids, don’t you want a B-rank?”

    No. No that was most certainly not what Kakashi wanted to be in charge of, “They shouldn’t-”

    “If your genin are so independent, I think they can answer this,” she waved, enjoying Kakashi’s pain.

    Thinking for a moment, Naruto weighed the options of fighting an entire system against continuing with his pre-existing idea, “Really? You’ll let us? And it’s a B-rank too?”
    ----------------------------------
    Or: Iruka works too much and squad seven gets paid to take him somewhere nice. Kakashi doesn't know if his heart can take it.
