inkcanvasFandom: Naruto
Characters: Hatake Kakashi, Team 7
Rating/Status: G / 100 words, complete
Summary: Kakashi remembers too much, too little, and forgets why he has never passed a team.
Author's Note: An old piece sitting around my computer that I either post now or end up forever fiddling with. :p Notes regarding the title at the end of the fic.
Applicable prompts:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
500themes, #205 - Memory of a dream.
The Mirror of Erised
He looks at Sasuke and sees redemption.
He listens to Naruto and relives second chances.
He smiles at Sakura and imagines her softening all the little edges in between.
He passes a genin team.
.
Mah, they have some potential for teamwork.
Kakashi's reply is the same no matter who asks.
.
He lets them live a chance long dead, and doesn't say the potential for teamwork he sees is for a team that no longer exists.
He knows he isn't Minato-sensei.
But by the time he realizes Sasuke isn't him, Naruto isn't Obito, and Sakura isn't Rin, it's far too late.
/end
Notes: The title - The Mirror of Erised - for those who don't already know, is an object from the Harry Potter world, described as a mirror that shows the deepest and most desperate desire of one's heart. In regards to the mirror, Albus Dumbledore said, "Men have wasted away before it, not knowing if what they have seen is real, or even possible."
Just thought it was especially fitting for what I was trying to portray in the fic. :)
