Summary
The first time Hashirama sees the Hiraishin in action, he hardly knows what it means, let alone what it is. Tobirama tries to explain, but all Hashirama knows is that his brother is there one moment and gone the next, more elusive than the smell of petrichor during Fire Country's summer season. Still, Hashirama is nothing but resilient like the trees he so easily bends to his will, and there is something important in the little kunai and its seal.
Or, a snapshot of Hashirama and Tobirama's relationship through the creation and founding of Konohagakure told by the Hiraishin.

Summary
Tobirama is — resplendent, in an argument. Obnoxious, too, but Madara generally finds Tobirama’s worst qualities to be more attractive when aimed at a third party. There’s a steel-cut sharpness to how he debates, an unblinking patience in how he lets his opponent talk just enough to hang themself before launching a counterattack. He’s like that in combat, too — though Madara doesn’t expect to see him fight in earnest for, possibly, the rest of their lives.
Tobirama says, often enough, that if Madara has the time to feel guilty, he has the time to make sure the eggplants don’t die. Hashirama has claimed that he’s only given them plants that a particularly bright toddler could grow — which doesn’t bode well for the two of them, considering the state of the vegetables in the greenhouse.
Madara replies that Tobirama can talk when he learns how to feed the chickens on time. You’d think that the inventor of several dozen jutsu could do chores at the same time every day, but apparently not.
Tobirama rolls his eyes and tells him that birds always like Madara better, anyway.

Summary
“Did you bring me here to make me sad, too? Because it’s working.”
“No, Astarion,” Gale sighs, finally tearing his gaze away from the aurora and meeting Astarion’s own eyes. “It’s because you’re the only person in camp who knows what it’s like to die.”
*
Having heard Mystra's orders, Gale comes to terms with his imminent death. He asks Astarion for one final favour, on his last night alive.
A kiss.

Summary
“Bat Astarion,” said Minsc slowly to himself. “Batstarion?”
A hush went over the room.
“Oh no,” Astarion chittered. “No. This is not a thing. I refuse to allow this to spiral even more out of control than normal. You’re all a bunch of weirdos having so much fun at my expense--”
“Batstarion,” echoed Shadowheart. “You know, it has a certain ring to it.”

Summary
“You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”
“I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”
“You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.
He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.
In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

Summary
In the final moments, when it looks like they're about to achieve the impossible, like they might all make it through this insane adventure they've been flung on, they are betrayed. Tav takes the Elder Brain for themself, seizes their companions minds for themself, and becomes the Absolute.
But they forgot just who was wearing which magical item. The Ring of Mind Shielding shines brightly on Gale of Waterdeep's finger, burning itself out against such overwhelming will. That doesn't matter though. What matters is what a determined wizard can do with six seconds, and everything hanging in the balance.
The orb detonates. The Absolute is destroyed, no matter who was puppetting it. The world turns on, saved.
And Gale does not cease to be.
Thrown back to the moment he first absorbed a shard of Netherese weave, he has two years to save the world, as well as everyone he's come to care about, from Bhaal's favourite child and their illithid plot. This time he won't make the mistake of seeing a friend in a Bhaalspawn, or let Astarion turn himself into someone he's not. Sure, he might not survive the experience, but that's what happens when your only weapon is a self destruct button.
