    Summary

    "Careful," a man said, smile sharp and full of teeth, sending Tobirama's pulse racing. "There's a wolf in these woods, eating travelers like you."

    The man was dressed in dark clothes, a wild mane of dark hair. His dark eyes shone like well polished onyx and possessed the heat of red-hot coals. Tobirama's stomach fluttered. He was too close, and smelled of blood.

    Tobirama drew back, putting space between them. A warning rumble bubbled up in his throat. "I do not fear wolves."

    "Only a fool would disregard the danger of a bite." The stranger chomped his teeth in emphasis, but the act was more playful than aggressive. Combined with the predatory gleam in his eyes—which suggested he delighted in the folly of fools—Tobirama was certain this man was far more dangerous than any ordinary wolf.

    a.k.a. Tobirama and Madara in a world where chakra isn't real, but werewolves are. And they definitely bite.

    Summary

    When Tobirama was younger, he realized at some point that a white wedding kimono and a white shroud were surprisingly similar not only in color, but also in cut. It seemed to him then that it was stupid and strange to put the creation of a new family on a par with the end of life. Years later, he came to realize that these two things, in fact, are not very different.

    Summary

    “I promise this is real,” Madara murmurs. He shudders at the kiss pressed to his temple, broad hand gently stroking his hair, cradling his head. “I’m here with you now. I won’t ever leave.”

    The pounding ache in his skull sinks its claws deeper, vision fuzzy around the edges. He can’t breathe like this. His mouth tastes of grave dirt and ash. His fingers draw tighter. The cloth feels dusty beneath his hands, sand slipping through his fingers, gritty on his skin.

    This position is familiar by now. Stuck in a cage of flesh, bone, and sinew that wound its loving arms around him, that rubbed soothing circles on his back. Poison filters through his ears. It’s a slow decay. A controlled fall.

    He takes a breath.

    “This is never going to end.” It’s an absent-minded remark. A reconciliation of two conflicting halves, however brief. He’s ripped free from the embrace.

    There is no happy ending to be had.
