Summary
It’s raining in Cloud Recesses.
It’s the kind of rain that settles deep into weary joints and aching bones. Rain that a cultivator as strong as he is should not dread, or fear. The pulsating warmth of his golden core should be enough to wash away any discomfort the storm brings. After all, rain is life-giving, hope-bringing…necessary.
Unfortunately, the thirty three whip scars on Lan Wangji’s back are not any typical injury. And so it is that same necessary rain which he dreads.

Summary
~*~*~*
They were meant to be enemies. Their people fought for centuries, acting on a grudge as old as time. One wants to protect his own. One wants to defend his turf.
So when the two clash, why can’t they bring themselves to kill the other? What is it about each other that holds them back from delivering the finishing blow?

Summary
An unexpected run-in with some reclusive forest witch has unfortunate repercussions for the Uchiha clan head. The monthly 'transforming into half a fish' incidents are bad enough, but to make matters worse, the curse has apparently convinced his stupid seaweed brain that Senju Tobirama is the coldest tall glass of water this side of the Naka.
Madara just wants to politely mind his business from the comfort of dry land, please and thank you.

Summary
“Y’know—before mom passed—she used to tell me about my dad. She'd tell me the kind of person you wanted to end up with, someone you kept around. She'd tell me about opposites, about calming the other one down and bringing them back up, about how they'd do the same for you. She'd say that you wanted someone who remembered things about you, not just the big stuff. Mundane shit that doesn't need to be remembered, but they do anyway. She'd say 'keep those who chronicle your life because it's theirs, too'."

Naruto challenges Sasuke to a game of “who knows the other person better”. Sasuke panics when he realizes that he might be the winner because what in the actual fuck does that mean?
He doesn’t know. Naruto tells him.

Summary
“Your mother was a Hatake!?” Izuna shouted in disbelief, startling many of the Senju.
“Yes? I thought you knew?” Hashirama tilted his head, looking over to Tobirama who shrugged slightly.
“No, it seems like some of our intel was a bit outdated,” Madara sighed, pinching his brow. “Does this change anything else in the peace treaty? Any other culturally insensitive terms that need to be removed?”
Madara narrowed his eyes as Tobirama coughed, hiding his face for a moment. Did he just cover up a laugh?

Summary
“One of you will be the Hokage after me,” the Sandaime says. His pipe lies smoking in an ashtray on the desk before him. “And the other will be the pillar who supports him.” This is not friendly supposition as to the future. This is a decree.
Itachi thinks of his brother and his parents and his clan, he thinks of a best friend who disappeared in the night and left corpses and his oaths behind, he thinks of a village at peace instead of haunted by the shadows of war, and says, “Hai.”
But Kakashi says, “With respect, I would rather not, Hokage-sama.”
To which the Sandaime says, “And if I make it an order?”
Kakashi’s face is perfectly bland. “No,” he says.
The Sandaime makes it an order.
(Itachi-centric: In which Itachi lives his Best Life and nobody wants to be Hokage.)
