hard edges on ao3.

The Konoha Performance Incentive series

Konoha with a much darker underbelly.

Jounin get their pick of any chuunin as long as both end up mission-ready the next day.

Old enough to Kill, old enough to pay.

Notes:
This damn series has gotten huge enough that I think we need to organise it in terms of reading order.

Chronologically, it takes place

Key Performance Indicators: an Itachi centric story setting up how this AU works for Clans.

Imposter Syndrome: a Shisui centric short-story with hints to his background. Serves as a companion piece to Key Performance Indicators

Benefits and Perks are just a bonus: direct continuation of Key Performance Indicators, with Itachi/Iruka coming into play. Most of this serves as still as a background and backstory to a shining knight, but diverges from ASK from Chapter 3/4 onwards.

a shining knight: the first to be written in this series, actually, KakaIru centric. Was meant to be the main timeline of this AU, but now co-exists as a darker timeline of the Key Performance Indicators and Benefits & Perks timeline.

Changes in Regulations: A Shisui centric ALTERNATE ending of Benefits & Perks

UPCOMING:

Year End Bonus: the aftermath of Changes in Regulations. Shisui-centric.

Internal Audit: Itachi-centric short-fic post Benefits & Perks.

An as yet unnamed Kakashi-centric short-fic background to Kakashi from a shining knight, detailing his own background and what led up to a shining knight.

Word Count: 2422
Rating: M
Warning(s): AU; M/M; Swearing; Mention of past stalking/harassment
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I make no money from the writing of this story.
Summary: Not everyone is on-board with Gaara's budding relationship with a cop who pulled him over. They all have their reasons. For Gaara's birthday 2019.
A/N: I expect this to be the multi-chapter tie-up that began with my fics Along Came a Fox and What Does the Fox Say?. I do hope you enjoy.

"Wait, he followed you here?" Temari asked. "He waited for you yesterday for seven hours?"
