    Summary

    Questions on things like 'But how does Naruto have video cameras and instant ramen?' rely on the presumption that the Warring Clans Era/Warring States of Naruto is entirely technologically, socially, and culturally equivalent to the same time period as in the real world.

    Or, a fic in which Madara and the Senju brothers visit the capital of Fire, where there are modern conveniences and delights such as inside plumbing, electricity, and telephones. Hashirama loves it. Madara does not.

    Summary

    Teuchi spends the morning before opening refamiliarizing himself with the old markets- he had never been able to find a vegetable stand he liked as much after the fourth war because Kazuhito took the village getting destroyed as a sign it was time to retire, and he had taken his connections with him- and manages to haggle his old friends down harder than he used to. Every little bit helps.

    Everything is set up the way he's refined it by the time he opens for lunch.

    Two Uchiha stop by not long after. The older teen he doesn't know at all, but the younger one, just a bit older than Ayame... Well.

    Teuchi ends up giving Uchiha Itachi a second serving of ramen against the boy's polite protests.

    Summary

    Beta male Theo Norcott had fought tooth and nail to prove himself in the ruthless world of corporate finance, only to be overshadowed by Nicholas Hale, the company’s most infuriatingly confident Alpha executive who just bagged the promotion Theo had dreamed about. Their rivalry is legendary, Theo convinced the Alpha teased him simply due to genetics.

    When a major client pitch forces them to work together, old wounds reopen, the balance between them shifts. Suddenly, every late meeting, every elevator ride, every stolen moment crackles with tension. Nicholas isn’t just watching him — he’s hunting him, testing the edges of Theo’s resistance with a patience that feels as dangerous as it is magnetic.

    Theo tells himself he can hold his ground. That his sharp words and stubborn defiance will keep Nicholas at arm’s length. Yet the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas doesn’t want obedience. He wants him. Every part of him.

    Yet Alphas are never interested in Betas, right? It’s always the Omegas. But it seems that Nicholas never got that particular memo. And the most dangerous part?

    Theo isn’t sure how much longer he wants to fight.
