Rainbow

Part 1 of 2. No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be? SI/OC as part of the Russian Mafiya, liberties taken with crafting said Mafiya Family.

Everyone heard about him. The brilliant Sky who'd help anyone in need before vanishing into the air. Who would perform incredible feats, and summon creatures, and plant forests of bizarre man-eating trees. The most coveted Sky. Harry? Just tried to live out his other-worldly pension in peace.

A collection of short moments in which the Arcobaleno begin to suspect Skull is not all he claims to be. OR Skull-Is-Harry, and Harry runs from his past any chance he gets.

Harry just opens a bakery. In Italy. Of course he meets Arcobaleno claiming him as their Sky, an assassin boss with anger issues, your average immortal next-door ramen shop owner, and a friendly family (but not family-friendly) ghost trying to possess his body in dark alleys. Well, at least the scenery is lovely. Mafia Bakery AU.

Reborn is not yet the world's greatest hitman, not quite a proper Sky, and definitely doesn't want these ridiculous Guardians that he keeps running into.

Kawahira finds someone else to be the Sky Arcobaleno in place of Aria, and it changes everything.

The Arcobaleno, betrayed by their previous Sky, are always looking, always searching, always wondering. But days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months and months turn to years, and to search and have hope with no results is too painful, even for them, so they stop. They go on with their day-to-day lives, sometimes allowing themselves an illusion of hope before crushing it once more. It is when they cease to look, to search, to wonder, that is when she finds them. And so the strongest seven finally belong. And she does too.

The Arcobaleno arrive at their collective house after their yearly meeting turned mission. Skull had been left there to cook them a warm meal for their return, seeing as he is useless in a mission, but it is not Skull they find when they return. Rather, it is, but it is not. For this Skull has cold eyes and harsher threats, and he doesn't know the rest of the Arcobaleno. Perhaps more importantly, the Arcobaleno find, is that they don't know Skull.
