Summary
opia
n. - the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable -- as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there's someone standing there, but unable to tell if you're looking in or looking out.╪
Between the person he was and the person he needs to be, a boy learns the path of a warrior and what it means to protect those close to him. Trying to navigate a world of chakra is no small task, and war threatens to make monsters of men and legends of the broken. Being born an Uchiha is a simultaneous stroke of fortune and ambiguous doom, but, well - can he really be blamed for wanting to save the world?

Summary
keyframe
n. a moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion into a strange new era of your life—set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next, until entire years of your memory can be compressed into a handful of indelible images—which prevents you from rewinding the past, but allows you to move forward without endless buffering.¦ | ¦
A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. Who they are; who they should be.
Amateurs, lecturing a professional.
It's no simple thing, to be a Lightbearer. When he first arose, there were no guidelines, no Last City; no Hunters or Titans or Warlocks...
Just him and his Ghost. And a wide, wide world.

Summary
Itachi’s hazy vision, tinged crimson by both the Sharingan and blood, memorized Sasuke’s face as its last sight. It was surely the delusions of death that superimposed a seven-year-old’s face over his little brother’s, but he supposed that in many ways Sasuke still looked the same as he did a decade ago. He had their mother’s eyes.
“Forgive me, Sasuke. There won’t be a next time.”
Itachi closed his eyes for the last time –
And then his day gets worse.
⟰⟱
In which Itachi is given a second chance - though not, perhaps, in the way he might have wished.

Summary
When Uchiha Hatsuhime was ten years old, her mother and father died on a mission in the Land of Rivers. In a (completely) unrelated incident, her older sister and her brother-in-law also died, orphaning Hatsuhime’s baby nephew, Obito.
Having recently passed the genin certification exam, Hatsuhime continues living in the home her parents raised her in. Obito is placed in the care of Uchiha Fūbuki, his paternal grandmother—someone who is both feared and respected for reasons a young Hatsuhime isn’t privy to.
She begins her career as a genin, and their paths don’t cross for nearly a decade.
Eight years later and newly ‘retired’ from Anbu, Hatsuhime prepares to welcome Obito into her home after his elderly grandmother suffers a stroke.
On the same day as her retirement, her teenage crush and head of the Uchiha Clan (Uchiha Fugaku himself!) offers her a job at the Konoha Keimu Butai. Then Obito arrives late to his own modest welcoming party and Hatsuhime knows the next few weeks, months—years—are going to be a trial of patience.

Summary
The age of Avatar Korra has ended. Passing away peacefully in her sleep, the world mourns the loss of its great protector, and of the lodestone ensuring its continued peaceful balance. However, across the formerly four, now many more nations, the White Lotus again begin their search for the new Avatar…
And find nothing.

Caught between compassion and fear, Mei desperately tries to find a way to save her friend while avoiding the ever-present gaze of the secret police. Is there such a solution? What’s truly important to her? Can the shadowy machinations being set behind the scenes be stopped before they consume the entire country?
And who is the woman in wolf-pelts Mei keeps dreaming of?

dark, unexpected. very formative, with few concrete relationships yet formed, though lots of potential; the author described it as a prologue themselves in a comment. looking forward to the publication of Book 2
