Bookmarker's Notes
This almost doesn't feel like a fanfiction, maybe 'cause I've watched neither The Thick of It nor Dr Who so far (though planning to remedy the latter). This reads more like the book that a bookseller will recommend to you whilst you're browsing their shop, so you buy it on a whim, and it ends up being one of your favourites for years to come.

Summary
Sasuke gets sent back in time to stop Danzo. He intends to save his clan, and his brother. But he made one major mistake: He left the number one unpredictable ninja in charge of the jutsu. He's about 10 years too early. Thanks, Naruto...
Now what?

Beautiful. This might actually be my new favourite time-travel fic in this fandom? And I didn't even like Sasuke in canon.

If you're gonna go changing things anyway, better do it from when it truly started.
Or well... from as close to that as you can get.(Yes. It is another time-travel fic. Hopefully at least somewhat unique though)

My favourite Naruto time travel fic - and I've read them all. (Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I have read a LOT.) I really hope the author writes a follow up one day, though the fic is by no means incomplete. I just want more!

The best writing style I've ever seen in fanfiction. But the characterisations are also top-notch. And the plot is intriguing. And the romance is incredibly realistic, and well, romantic. And the minor characters are great. It's all great, I really have nothing negative to say about this wonderful story.

Summary
There is something going on with Kakashi, but Minato can’t figure out what. All he has are distressing deductions, each one progressively worse than the last. It’s no wonder Minato can’t help but fear and fear and fear…
(To be fair though, it really wasn’t his fault he never considered the possibility of time-travel)- Language:

My favourite trope, retold from an original perspective, and executed flawlessly.
