Summary
“You don’t want to stay with the Senju,” Madara said in a de facto voice, pulling sheets of paper out of the sleeve of his kimono. Tobirama wanted to rage, to call Madara out on his scheme, and only refrained from doing so because it would destroy his disguise. But then his eyes fell on the paper that Madara stretched out for him to take.
Haltingly, he took the papers into his hands, and his gaze roamed over the manual depicting the technique used to incorporate the mixture of metals into molten glass. One of the most crucial steps in the production of the specialized glass the Takeuchi estate was so famous for.
Madara stepped closer, but this time the air between them was not charged with desire. The words seemed to fall like an executioner’s ax as he spoke.
“You don’t want to stay with the Senju, Lord Takeuchi, because they have sold you out.”

Summary
Madara tapped the steering wheel and immediately stopped himself once he realized the nervous tick. A short look to the side showed Tobirama as he had been the last thirty minutes, projecting calmness with a distinct flavor of resting-bitch-face.
“Listen, I appreciate that you jumped in to help me out, but I understand if you want to back out. My family can be a bit much, so ...” Madara cringed at the way his sentence faded.
“I said I would do this. There is no need to offer me a way out,” Tobirama answered coldly.
Oh boy, thought Madara. The silence from before spread again in his car. Visions of his aunts eating Tobirama alive drifted through his mind, and then of Hashirama chewing him out for letting his little brother be abused like this. “Ah, so it might make sense to talk a bit about ourselves? You know, since we’re gonna pretend to date.”

Summary
Should I knock, Madara asked himself.
In a moment of clarity, Madara realized that if he hesitated for a single second longer, he would lose his nerves and turn around with his sad, cold piece of blueberry pie. So in a state of panic, he brought his hand not holding the pie forth in a resounding knock against the wood of Tobirama’s front door.

Summary
How cruel, for peace to give Madara the glimpse at love he had hoped for all his life, the one he had seen in his parents’ feelings for each other. Only for the one holding his heart to disregard it as an unwanted responsibility, prioritizing it lower than even the planning of their sewage system.

Summary
Tobirama had made her peace with death in the moment she was struck her down by foes more powerful than her. She hadn’t been prepared for Uchiha Madara to burst out of the forest like an avenging god and to plunge his hand right into the corroding miasma of chakra she hadn’t managed to pierce herself. She wished he hadn’t. Her life wasn’t worth the sacrifice of his right hand.
And so Tobirama swears, by the bedside of an unconscious Uchiha Madara, under the hateful eye of his younger brother, to make him a new hand. Creation, after all, is her speciality.
But in a moment of desperation, Tobirama steps over a line and impulsively uses her own body as the tool for this task, which will have wide-reaching consequences.Series
