    Summary

    None of Bella's stories had ever told of the hard work of cleaning up a battle, there was no glory in it. But it was better to throw herself into the work than face the fact that she had very nearly lost the ones she loved, face the trauma of the battle, of the dragon sickness, of all the darkness that loomed over her shoulder. After all, tears were for when you were in privacy, and there was precious little of that when one was named regent for a grievously wounded king.

    Summary

    Umino Iruka regarded the man standing before his shop counter with what was probably poorly-veiled irritation.

     

    "Yes, thank you," he said. "I know how a triple-layered chakra lock works."

     

    Long years of experience kept Iruka's tone even: losing his temper meant losing customers, even if there weren't very many people in Konoha who did what he did.

     

    * * *

    The canon-divergent au in which Iruka graduates the academy, does 3 D-rank missions, and then retires, because his leg was badly crushed in the kyuubi attack—so he re-trains as a locksmith and makes chakra-manipulated locks.

    A story about systemic structural power imbalances between shinobi and civilians and the various ways in which expectations of physical strength and implicit ableism are detrimental to community trust. In which Iruka finds himself stuck between worlds, all because Sharingan Kakashi demanded the impossible, and Iruka made him a quadruple-layered chakra lock.
