    Summary

    A blade, slipping between his shoulder blades to pierce his heart.
     
    No. That wasn’t right. The memory twisted, and the world and him with it.

    A blade, slipping between his shoulder blades to -

    No.

    A blade -

    No, he refused.

    Izanagi.

    Madara survives the battle at the Valley of the End and vanishes, only to resurface in a dying civilian village. Forced into anonymity and caught by circumstance between the great shinobi powers, he must bide his time, play the game, and remind the world that Uchiha Madara had never been gone - only waiting.

    A story about ideology and compromise, love and grief, and about what happens when none of those prove to be enough. All told principally through the eyes of Uchiha Madara and the parallel experiences of Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Hikaku, and Uzumaki Mito.

    [OC-heavy in the beginning, canon characters appear after the end of the first arc.]

    Summary

    She keeps colliding with him at different points in her life.

    She's been in love with him since she was a child.

    Why does it feel like it was always meant to end with a knife at her throat, her blood in a vial, and the leash in his hand?

    Summary

    Brasidas remembers lying on the lonely deck of his relief-ship and speculating what it might feel like to see her again.

    Sunrise. Fresh rain. Battle-frenzy. A deep belly-laugh, or a spinning blue-lotus high. The crush of a wave coming back from low tide, dense and hard, knocking the breath from him like a body blow from a sledgehammer.

    He should have known it would be like none of those. So many things about Kassandra are without compare.
