The Somewhat Cracked Mind of Uchiha Itachi is mostly-lighthearted ninja hijinx at its best, though there are also some intense fight scenes and a meaningful overall plot. Kisame being present from the first scene is a bit of a WTF but explained within a few chapters, and the events involved are the butterfly for this AU. It also front loads a fair bit of character development and keeps it going throughout, so events have kept moving without a timeskip to catch up training

Rumor of an Alchemist has just put up a ~2500 word fic that takes the premise I used in "Well Begin Is...?" (Voldie takes Lily's "Anything but Harry!" as a legitimate, magically binding offer) and travels in a slightly different direction. I like it.
