Characters: Jiraiya/Orochimaru flashbacks, Jiraiya/Anko implied
Rating: PG13/R
Squick: An implied purely physical relationship with a young Anko (~15/16), few sparse details, not enough to raise rating.
Timeline: Canon world/timeline. Four years after Kyuubi's attack and Minato's death.

And some random notes: In my head, Orochimaru says "Jiraiya" as he does in the anime - "Jeeraiya." And Anko doesn't really understand everything about Orochimaru (she returned to the village at age 12), so she adores him and overlooks the more questionable parts. This is the personality with which I roleplay her (in this time period), so I hope it works for you.

( I hear ya saw Sensei, ji-san...Ya get to talk to him? Did he say he's comin' back? )

Pairing: Minato and Kakashi (non-romantic teacher/student) + Jiraiya and Kushina
Rating: PG
Squick: Blood.
Time Period: Just after Kakashi's father's death. Min's 20, Kakashi's 8.

Written as a sort of prequel to kiterie's "Mission Iruka" universe, but it works as a standalone, too. (finished/edited on the road home from a funeral as a distraction, so apologies as I'll have to make further edits later)

( Minato wasn’t sure what woke him, but when he stepped outside to find his newly orphaned student curled into a ball on his porch, he no longer cared. )
