His nose itches with the long dead scents of incense, saltwater, and spice but he doesn’t look back until -
A choked, “Kakashi?”
He closes his uncovered eye, takes a deep breath, and turns.
Three ghosts stare back.
In this world, Team Minato returns as heroes.
(This time, there was no disgraced Hatake runt carrying the most prized doujutsu of the famed Uchiha clan, no questions of theft or accusations of treason, no doubts of Minato’s abilities as a teacher let alone Hokage, no back-stabbing comrade killers-
-no Kakashi.)
Canon Kakashi falls into a new dimension where he died in Obito's place. And almost everyone he ever cared about is alive instead of dead. To be very clear, this is a Canon Kakashi from a point before he finds out about Obito being still alive.
What I love about these alternate dimension type fics is the character's (and reader's) discoveries of the little changes that added up. This fic makes very good use of that, and great use of Kakashi's building fear that maybe--just maybe--he should have died.
