    Summary

    Toji auctioned his son to Naobito with a starting price of ¥7,000,000. Naobito raised Toji ¥10,000,000, dependent on his technique. Since Megumi was summarily orphaned in 2006 – by Satoru – he’s now free game. A child was bartered, and now a child will be displaced, without ever knowing of the 'money talk' had behind his back.

    The tragedy of Megumi’s youth is not lost on Satoru. In fact, it’s painfully nostalgic, the notion of being stripped of your personhood before you can fully develop one. Megumi’s never been to school; likely can’t ride a bicycle; doesn’t, realistically, possess the bilateral coordination required to tie his own shoelaces. He still has his milk teeth, and yet – he already has a price. And the girl he’s with is, diametrically, completely worthless.

    He would like to say his next move is selfless. That it’s about the emancipation of a child from shackles with which he is well-acquainted. And it is, to an extent. But in the end, this isn’t really about Megumi’s salvation. It’s about Satoru’s. Because the thing with power is –

    It’s lonely.

     

    (They say it takes a village to raise a child. It takes four powerful sorcerers to raise two.)

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    "What the hell was that?" Satoru muttered to his empty apartment, skin still prickling with phantom heat.
    His Six Eyes had no answer. Or rather, they had an answer he wasn't ready to hear.

    Some loves are too powerful to erase. Some names echo across lifetimes. Some waits span millennia.

    Gojo Satoru has seen many strange things in his life—his Six Eyes reveal truths that most people can't perceive. But they've never shown him this before: dreams that feel like memories, a body that aches for touches it's never received, phantom sensations, and a presence that feels like coming home.

    The Six Eyes insist it's real. His mind insists it's impossible.

    History has a way of repeating itself. And some things, some people, refuse to stay forgotten.

    Summary

    “It’s defective,” Satoru announces as he swings into the morgue, purple cat-carrier in hand. “You got me a defective cat.”

    She’s defective,” Shoko sighs, peeling off her gloves. She peers into the carrier when Satoru places it down on the slab, brows pinching. She tilts her head left, then right. The creature inside snuffles. “Looks fine to me.”

    “It breathes wrong,” he complains, “and it keeps making this coughing noise. It snores like a fucking pensioner – look, let me just—”

    “Don’t you dare release your cat into a sterile environment,” Shoko snaps, slapping his hands away from the clips. “She shouldn’t even be in here.”

    Satoru looks pointedly at the cursed blood dripping, violet and viscous, from the opposite mortuary cot. “Right,” he drawls. Then: “Can you send it back?”

    She stares at him. “You did not just ask that.”

     

    (Following the tragedy of Christmas Eve 2017, Shoko gets Satoru a cat. She has asthma.)

    Summary

    Until his father's ship returns, Kakashi is responsible for himself. This isn't the first time he's been left alone but it is the longest, and as the days stretch on, the sea god's fury is not the only storm he's weathering.

    A distraction comes in the form of a lucky catch, the biggest bite he's ever gotten on the end of his fishing rode. But when he reels it in, he sees hands and lips, arms no different from his own, and a face that is almost human.

    A siren, they say, is a devourer of man.
     

    OR:

    Kakashi fishes up a siren. It goes swimmingly.

    Summary

    No one could know she brought them back. Even powerless (weak), even as non-sorcerers (monkeys), even without the higher-ups, universal law dictates that they would only be used again. And Shoko, a bona fide necromancer? She would never know peace.

    She knows, now, that her job was never about saving people. It had always been about fitting for purpose; getting fodder back on its feet for another round in the ring. Shoko was tired. Their revival would be her final act of service, and it would be purely selfish. The only person she told was Okkotsu, who she felt would understand the most. He had been the one to puppet the monster, after all.

    So, she signed their death certificates with love and a flourish, and booked the next ferry to Shanghai.

     

    (At the end of all things, in a lighthouse in North Uist, Shoko, Satoru, and Suguru persist.)

    When Matt was nine years old, he would listen to his father’s heartbeat in one ear and the sound of sirens in the other, and he would feel so alone that he might as well be the man on the goddamn moon. 

    Maybe that’s why it was so easy for Stick.

    Yuji sits up and leans in, cautious and slow, like Megumi is something that could be scared away if he moves too fast.
    His blood rushes in his ears, drowning out all other sounds except his traitorously racing heart.
    Yuji’s lips brush his, light and tentative, before the kiss deepens.
    It’s—not what he expected.

    "I think it's a great idea!" Hashirama says, which doesn't do anything to assuage Tobirama's concerns or annoyance. "Interclan cooperation is very important, Tobirama, especially if we want other clans to join us, and what would show it off better than a mission like this?"

    "Not killing each other over paperwork and sewage treatment plans for several more years," Tobirama suggests.


    Madara and Tobirama go on a mission together.

Damian is well-trained, after all, and he has been held to a higher standard than others all his life. He should be confident.
