"Fireflies" by KobutoriRisu

Listen…there’s not enough words in any language that can properly convey just how much I love this fic. It goes through so many stages of Iruka’s life, and how he’s been tied to Kakashi for longer than he’s ever realized, and really shows just how incredible a character Iruka is without every straying far from canon. It’s such a fantastic read, so if you like an excellent slow burn that’s Iruka-centric and beautifully written, do yourself a favor and read this fic.

I’ve reread it at least ten times, and it still makes my heart pound and ache in all the best ways :heart_eyes:
