There was no slowly involved about this. One moment there was the first sentence, twenty-four hours later there was this. -_- Never happens to fics I'm actually planning on getting written, of course.
Re:KabuHina, I find I like the idea of it being implied or a possibility more than coming straight out, which is totally why Celebrationverse only dances around it. Plus Kabuto gets to screw with her head even more this way, and we all know that's really the type of screwing he likes better. And this way Hinata can feel guilty and worry that she's projecting and never let her guard down on-the-off-chance-that.
I've read _acerbitas_'s A Greater Cause and I occasionally reread it when I want to get thoroughly creeped out, but not too often because my character-death-denial-device tends to glitch at the end. I'm a wimp about character death.
Which brings me to Kabuto's death in Celebrationverse. Coming out: it wasn't planned. I was just writing the first fic, and Hinata started talking about getting tortured and killing Kabuto and that was totally not planned but rather cool so I kept it and then I went, oh noes I've killed Kabuto!!! Wait, Hinata killed Kabuto. yay cool. ...And that was how Celebrationverse was born. (So I get your needing to kill Neji off, though I mourn, but again, Hinata killed him, yay cool.)
So, Hinata killing Kabuto; split-second reflex. If she's started thinking about it, she never could have done it because she'd have been second-guessing herself and doubting her abilities. In this canon, she's been fighting any sympathy and attraction she felt toward him because she knew that way laid disaster, but well, can't win them all.
She managed to kill him because she was aware that it was her being weak that made her find him nice, so she made herself an enemy rather than viewing him as an ally. Long-term consequences weren't an issue at the moment. :3
