Theme: interspecies stories, families of choice, action/adventure, time travel fix-it

Summary: To make a tragedy, you break something beautiful and frame the pieces. To make a victory, you break something mighty and rebuild it piece by piece. To make a life, you glue the pieces together and hope for the best. Kurama's still getting the hang of this ‘human’ thing, but given that he’s 30 years back in time with catastrophes to prevent and a blond brat to save, he’ll have to figure things out on the fly. Luckily, living with Naruto's been good for his ability to improvise, if nothing else.

Reccer's Notes: Okay, there's little indication from the summary or the pairing(s), but I'd actually class this as a found family action/adventure story first and foremost, with some romance on the side. Family is the major theme. Kurama is a self-proclaimed monster with a strong distaste for most of humanity who, now forced to interact with the world at large, finds himself caring more than he expected about the shitty childhoods of certain human children— and trying to balance that against his given goal of saving the world.

Managed to miss the deadline on interspecies so sneaking it in on the last day of amnesty!
