Description:

I got inspired by "How Kakashi got Adopted by the Nara" by Voldecourt, and this series is the result. It's how I think things could have gone down afterwards between Shikako and Kakashi.

The premise for this series is that Shikako shadow-bonded to Kakashi to save his life during a mission, disregarding the social consequences that doing so might have on her. This isn't something that could be hidden from her clan, due to it's effects on Shikako and Kakashi's shadows, so Kakashi is honorarily adopted as a Nara. Obligations, expectations, and traditions then all come into play, as Kakashi learns Nara lore and shadow techniques.

I've headcanoned that Voldecourt's fic was preceded by events similar to Tirfarthuan's "Shikako Mindwalks Kakashi" (it's posted over on the Recursive thread pgs 281-283). If you've not read them, I encourage you to do so!

Notes:

I've made an effort to leave the option of a paring ambiguous, as I know Shikako/Kakashi pairing is contentious and want folks on both sides of that fence to be able to enjoy this series. So yeah- shipping or no shipping, you'll hopefully find this series a fun read!

Also! Neutral_Zone was also inspired to write a piece compliant to the canon of this series, so I was happy to add her as a series co-creator, and not just an "awesome beta reader"!
