I have three fics I'm working on with the amazing @rendiamberspirit and I can't resist to post little spoilers about them

Tobirama time travel au

Hashirama is confused. 

Hashirama has always used others' misperceptions of him to his advantage. Oftentimes people will see him as a bubbly over emotional idiot prone to random crying. He's not ashamed to say he uses that perception to convince others he is well meaning and weak minded, and that perception allows him to use 'puppy' eyes to sway others to his viewpoint. They tend to forget he is a shinobi.

A/B/O Arranged marriage au

Butsuma is dead.

Tobirama almost cannot believe this day has come. It is strange even. His father always seemed the kind of alpha who would endure through everything and color his memories until his last days - Tobirama honestly believed that he would outlive him.

Not necessarily because he was stronger - Tobirama had long since surpassed him. But because he wasn’t a kind man.

Non-Con au

Tobirama doesn't know where he is.

All he knows is his arms are tied behind his back and he has no chakra. There must be seals placed on him to stop him from accessing it. Damn. Whoever decided to capture him knew what they were doing. 

[rendiamberspirit]

Hashirama is crazy and obsessively overprotective of Tobirama.

After the village is built Hashirama becomes jealous of Tobirama's time. He hates that Tobirama has his own office and people are constantly coming and going. Tobirama has always spent the majority of his time with Hashirama. But not any more.

Not only that but he's weird with the Uchiha. Even though Izuna was healed, and Hashirama is friends with both Uchiha brothers, he constantly puts himself between any Uchiha and Tobirama.

Everyone is like geeze, is he afraid Tobirama will attack the Uchiha? It causes tension between the Uchiha and Tobirama.

Until someone (Senju clan member?) laughs about it and is like lol no. Hashirama is protecting Tobirama from you. He even does it with our own clan sometimes.

Madara overhears this and starts to really pay attention and sure enough Hashirama does guard Tobirama from some of his own clan.

So he makes it his mission to find out why. Tobirama gets sent on missions and Hashirama isn't overprotective about that!

Which is how he finds out that Hashirama is protective of Tobirama on missions. He has to wear these special mokuton bracelets at all times so if something happens the mokuton can help protect him or at the very least lead Hashirama to Tobirama.

Madara is now determined to talk to Tobirama on his own. To the point of stalking him to find a time Hashirama isn't around to be a wall between them.

The first question he asks is "why do you let Hashirama just block you off from so many people?"

Tobirama just shrugs it off, "eh that's Anija for you. He's just a little protective."

Madara asks "what about dating? How will you ever meet someone?" Tobirama just dismisses it and is like "oh yeah I'll never marry I'll be by Anija's side forever."

Madara is super disturbed. "Don't you want to fall in love and marry?”

"Of course, but if Anija needs me to stay by is side to be happy that's what I will do "

"What about when he marries Mito?"

"He already informed Mito that I will be living with them."

Madara is now determined to get hashirama to give Tobirama some space. He doesn't know why but he has a vested interest in Tobirama being allowed to marry and have his own life.

He's made it a point to ambush Tobirama when he can do they can spend time together.

At some point all their secret rendezvous leads to Madara falling for Tobirama and now having to find a way to get Hashirama to allow them to properly court.

It turns out that all he really needs is for Tobirama to tell him that this will make him happy that he has feelings for Madara.

Hashirama may be a little crazy and definitely way too overprotective but all he really wants is his brother to be happy.

So great day for me! I went to get a tattoo but the artist knew we were trying to fund raise for a new car so we can keep taking our kids to treatments 5 hours away and she gave me the tattoo for free!

So check out my first Naruto tattoo!

[rendiamberspirit]

I am soooo excited for this!! I just shared that I wanted this hear me out pair!!

I think everyone should go give it a try!!

File this under; "okay, hear me out..."

Summary:

What could you possibly want to meet with me about, outside of attempting to kill me."

What Tobirama says next chills him to the bone.

"I have one of your clansmen," he says lowly. "He's got quite the tale to tell you."

Izuna doesn't know what to make of a clansman from the future who, despite everything, still wants them to build the village.

Itachi has sacrificed a lot. He feels entitled to a bit of a reward.

+++

For @rendiamberspirit who wanted Tobirama/Itachi, and when I mentioned I had a whole story written but unposted, because random pairing is random, said we need more weird pairings. Here you go, lol.

For random doodles. I dont remember but have you ever drawn tobirama? I would suggest him or Indra :3 dobt know if these help you at all :D but hopefully something

You know, I haven't drawn either of them 🤔

[rendiamberspirit]

Okay, shut the fuck up... (me @ me)

If Madara and Tobirama met first:

Tobirama is Breaking the Rules That Were Made For Other People and Not For Him But He Can't Be Caught Breaking Them and so is on edge, but Madara is quietly confident and fully assured of his place in the food chain. Madara is curious about this kid darting around alone and tries to engage him.

Tobirama is short, rude and suspicious. They part ways as soon as the Hagoromo corpse floats downstream. He uses Madara's dense chakra to practise tracking – not realising that Madara is tracking him in turn.

Tobirama is a little tall for his age and so Madara tries to befriend him when they run into each other again. Madara loses interest in socialising almost as soon as Tobirama confirms he is ten at another meeting and this pisses Tobirama off CHRONICALLY. Don't underestimate him! And maybe... he's pissed that his cool friend suddenly thinks he's a stupid baby 🫩 This definitely won't awaken something in him...

Kawarama dies, then Itama, and Tobirama feels so overwhelmed by how daily life barely changes that he runs down to the river to practise water techniques. He is so frustrated by his repeated failures that he huddles down crying into his knees and Madara cautiously approaches to (awkwardly) comfort him as he would one of his younger siblings or cousins.

Tobirama eventually confides in him and Madara hefts him up to teach him a thing or two before they have to part. Tobirama is so startled that he tries to grab Madara to throw him, but Madara is significantly stronger and so they just sort of end up hugging instead. Madara awkwardly pats his back and Tobirama, so unused to being close to anyone who isn't his brother, bluescreens and clings mutely to foreign-smelling clothes until a loud frog scares him into running home.

Their infrequent meetings end when Hashirama, suspicious of his brother's growing absences, follows Tobirama out one day and immediately clocks Madara as a threat. He rushes Tobirama away, threatens to tell their father if he doesn't follow the rules and that is that. No more meeting strange boys in the forest.

Tobirama is once again PISSED when Madara becomes obsessed with HASHIRAMA instead of HIM (normal feelings that people have) when they meet on the battlefield. He spends years honing his skills to make Madara pay attention to him... until he realises how embarrassing he is being and turns his attention solely to serving his clan and brother.

When the village is eventually established and they come back into close contact, however, he can't help his bratty outbursts... and Madara can't help thinking he's a bit cute 😌

[rendiamberspirit]

no-war tobiizu au in which, when tobirama enters a social situation he's unfamiliar with, hashirama taught him to copy someone else. just pick someone and do what they do- and it works, mostly! hashirama gave him some easy ways to spot someone 'good' to copy, and some immediate disqualifiers (if they're doing something that tobirama knows is Socially Frowned Upon, for example).

the senju don't have access to hot springs and don't use communal baths. so tobirama's first experience with one is when he goes to the capital and is informed his "bucket of water and a sponge" method is not dignified enough for the courts. so he goes to the hot springs there, and realizes he's got no idea what to do.

so he picks a guy and watches him. he's unaware that staring at a naked man in the hot springs might have connotations.

Izuna thinks he's settled in for a nice relaxing bath in the early morning- beat the crowds!- when some pervert shows up and keeps staring at him. At first, he's grossed out and considers beating him up; but the man doesn't approach, so Izuna decides to just ignore him.

He fails miserably at ignoring him, but the attention isn't so bad after a while. The man stays at a distance, and eventually Izuna realizes he's repeating whatever Izuna does. Izuna rests back against the stones, and the man does the same across the way; izuna dunks his head to wet his hair, and the man mirrors the motion soon after.

He's not really sure what kind of sex game this is, but the man is attractive and the attention is flattering. Eventually Izuna starts to get interested. Luckily, the water is steamy enough to hide his reaction, which gives him time to consider how he wants to handle it. But the man is very pretty, and they're the only ones there, so...

Izuna, secretly thrilled by the risk, starts to masturbate. It takes a few minutes for the man to realize what he's doing, considering the important stuff is hidden beneath the water.

Tobirama sees Izuna breaking a clear Social Rule, realizes he's a terrible reference to base his behavior off of, and immediately stops watching.

He finishes washing the soap out of his hair and leaves.

[rendiamberspirit]

The whole Tobirama offers himself to make amends for killing (or gravely injuring) Izuna trope

Except

Madara doesn't buy it. No matter how logical Tobirama wants it to sound trying to convince Madara it was Hashirama’s idea, Madara knows that even if they aren't that similar, at least they share one tjong in common and it's their love for their younger brothers.

Madara knows, that like him, Hashirama would rather sacrifice himself than his brother. So he contacts Hashirama to let him know his idiot of a baby brother is there, safe, unharmed so he better get his ass over because Madara has some words for him.

Tobirama now has earned the ire of two older brothers glaring down at him, scolding him for being that stupid.

Except when Hashirama wants to take him home, Madara doesn't let it. See, he came to the conclusion that Tobirama’s insane (obviously) and that Hashirama’s head is too far up the clouds to pay attention to his younger brother so Madara will do it. If Hashirama wants peace, he will let his brother stay, after all, Tobirama already offered, so it shouldn't be a problem for him.

Eventually, Hashirama and Tobirama agree.

Tobirama learns what it means to have someone pay attention to him and enforce boundaries Hashirama never did. He finds he doesn't mind.

[rendiamberspirit]

[rendiamberspirit]

Just saw this and maybe I'm crazy but I can just perfectly imagine this being Tobirama and Izuna.

Pre-village (that Izuna is obviously part of because he never died and he never will as far as I'm concerned) Tobirama and Izuna run into each other while on the run from someone (I can't think of who right now) so they're both taking shelter in the same cave trying to stay hidden and Izuna offers to take night watch but Tobirama says 'I might as well. I think I might have narcolepsy.’

Izuna is instantly skeeved out. But also insanely curious what taking the night watch has to do with having the hots for dead people. Unfortunately he really has no choice but to trust that Tobirama won't kill him in his sleep and do unthinkable things, if only so that if they come across the (random villains) again they have a chance at surviving the overwhelming numbers.

Anyway years go on Izuna never lets it go, big part of the reason he doesn't want peace. He's just too creeped out by Tobirama. They finally have peace talks and Izuna just straight up asks 'do you still fancy dead people?’

Everyone stares at him in shock. No one knows what to say. The entire table is silent.

'What?' Is all Tobirama can say.

Izuna goes on to explain their conversation and Tobirama just face palms and says 'narcolepsy, narcolepsy you idiot. You seriously thought I said necrophilia??? And then you stayed in that cave for 2 days after that? I would have gone running. But to answer the question you should have been asking. No I don't. I think it was just a bad reaction to the food pills I was trying to develop.'

Everyone is still silent. Just watching them.

Izuna let's add a huge breath of air and says, 'that has been bothering me for years. I always wondered how that big tree of a brother of yours would just let that go on.’

Madara shoots him a look ' Wait is this why you kept insisting that the Senju couldn't be trusted??’

And then they all together discovered that the entire reason that Izuna was so against peace was because of a misunderstanding 5+ years ago. He'd agreed with Madara for years that it would be better for their people, but he just couldn't trust that they weren't all creeps.

It becomes a running joke between them, until one day, years after getting together Izuna asks 'Would you still love me if I was dead?' Tobirama responds, 'I would become a necrophiliac for you.’

@faggotnojutsu @instant-bull @zamalv @nkkia @illogicals-blog

Ok, so two of them I've posted as drabbles already before, but these are the three I've worked on a bit.

To Be Named (MadaTobi)

The first time it happens, Tobirama is convinced Madara is finally going to kill him. Beat him to death, strangle him, anything so long as he’s dead as a final result. By any means necessary. Rather than following the subconscious script of their previous liaisons, Madara stood unnervingly still. It’s as if his heartbeat had ceased to exist and every organ had turned to porcelain– stone more like– forever immortalizing the awful look in his eyes. Unbridled hunger. Even the sclera of his eyes had gained a red hue, courtesy of his unblinking gaze. He proves his silent panic false, the hand resting on the nape of Tobirama’s neck exerting a light pressure while his other hand at his side caresses the slight ridges of rib and muscle before finally resting his palm above his liver. It just rests there, before bending at the fingers to mimic the action of digging into meat and hook his nails into bone.  They stand bared, facing each other in a mocking display of vulnerability.

Marriage Portrait ( Arranged Marriage AU! Tobirama/Madara/Izuna/Hikaku)

The ceremony itself was a wild blend of Senju and Uchiha tradition. A speech from the Senju, from his brother, before Tobirama and Madara were joined. A dance of streaking flames from Izuna himself, circular shapes of orange-white fire following his agile steps, done in their honor.  As the last embers ebb into nothing and the last whiffs of smoke fade away, Tobirama is led into the chambers of Madara’s newly anointed home within the village. He can feel the soft cotton of the tabi socks dig into his heel and toe, sandals snug, and the newly paved gravel crunch underneath his stride.  Madara’s impressive figure walks just slightly ahead of him. Wisps of black move with each step he takes and it is only before the entrance to his, and now their, home that he speaks up. “As agreed beforehand, we will perform the necessary steps towards a perfect union.” “I am aware of the consummation process, Madara.” As if penetration would need such frivolous preparation.

Housecat (MadaTobi)

“-A housecat!” Hashirama exclaims out of nowhere, interrupting Madara’s trail of thought. “What?” he asks, because they’re nowhere near any cats, sitting in the middle of a recently opened izakaya. “That’s what he re- Tobirama! He sleeps exactly like a housecat!” His friend is staring towards the ceiling as if some higher being had inserted the thought into his empty skull. A cat? A housecat, at that? “When?” “Just this morning-” “-did I bring that up?” He’s not even trying to be cruel, it was a genuine question smushed between Hashirama’s excitable ramble that was sure to come.

Think of Me (Next to You)

There was a Shadow in Madara’s garden.  He’d noticed it the moment it had leaped over the wall, landing deftly by the tsubaki and in full view of where Madara had been resting on the engawa. A faint, misty creature of similar size to some of the stray dogs he'd seen running around, but he didn't recognise it's silhouette as belonging to anyone he was familiar with.  Unusual, but not too concerning just yet. 

Right Place, Wrong Person

In Madara's opinion, the problems all started the moment the Onmyōji hobbled through the doors of the Grand Hall, interrupting the Daimyo’s feast to deliver a message from the Gods themselves.  “The Gods above have spoken, my Lord!” “Well? What is the news?” The Diamyo had asked the Onmyōji in his booming voice, leaning forward in eagerness. This Daimyo had always been particularly religious, treating those with connections to the supernatural with particular reverence. Under him, Madara sat by his side in court, a man descended from the Sun herself. Below him, those in the Grand Hall had kept their heads low and held their breath, waiting for the answer. A message from the Gods could be about anything, but often indicated one particular thing in general. Good or bad, the divine’s sudden interest in the affairs of men meant that something major was about to occur. Something that would change the course of history, meant for those who were great or destined to be remembered. 

San San Kudo

He wasn’t quite sure how, or why, but Madara was pretty sure he fucked up.  Somehow, it wasn’t the pounding headache, the dry mouth, or the fact that he was inexplicably shirtless and missing his mantle that had tipped him off. And it wasn’t the fact that the warm, fluffy thing he had been cuddling had been savagely ripped from his grasp either, exposing him to the chilly air moments before a heavy weight slammed into him, jolting him awake.  Spread-eagled on the cold, hard floor, Madara had squinted blearily up at the pale man straddling his waist, glowering down at him like an angry god come to exact retribution. Madara barely even noticed.  Huh, Senju Tobirama was wearing his mantle, was what came to mind instead, along with the observation that Senju Tobirama’s signature white fur was not resting on his shoulders but gripped tight in one hand, long digits invisible under all that fluff. Was that the warm and wonderful thing he had been sleeping with? “Guh-gimme.” He croaked, flopping a hand vaguely at the fur. It was cold. The fur looked soft and warm and Madara wanted to hug it close and never let go.

If It Looks Like a Duck...

The new world began with a hole in the sky. Being a small hole, no one had noticed its existence, nor the three bodies that had proceeded to tumble out of it and onto the ground below. And for the Senju and Uchiha clans out on the battlefield that day, they had far more important things to care about.     Namely, the curious side effect that said hole’s appearance had on the sky over Fire, transforming it Sharingan-red and then a pulsating purple, before the distortion collapsed in on itself and the sky reverted back to a normal, sunny day blue. In a land of gods, spirits, and giant, roaming chakra beasts, it didn’t take long for the hysterics to begin. Amidst the chaos, two important things happened: Firstly, Senju Tobirama’s sword paused right before it would have been plunged into Uchiha Izuna’s back, the blade gleaming red under the light of the changed sky. In another story, the red is blood, dripping off the edge as the fatal blow is dealt. In this, Senju Tobirama stays his hand, turning tail to help Senju Hashirama coordinate the Senju’s retreat in the face of the unknown above them. Secondly, the suddenly lonesome Uchiha Izuna finds himself accosted by an unknown assailant, who physically manhandles him out of the open and into a copse of bushes.

WIP [autopsy]

Tobirama's scapel traced over pale skin as he wondered where to begin. The eyes were a good place to start. It was where most would think to make the first cut: windows to the soul and an Uchiha’s greatest asset.  That Uchiha had described it as such, once:  Dark as the night but bright as the moon, crimson as the sun and marked by Her blessing.  The poetic trite had made him scoff. Vapid, pretty words for what was merely an inherited biological advantage. Blessings didn’t save the Uchiha from falling to his or his brother’s swords, in the end.  And the eyes before him were now dead and dull, nothing resembling that legendary demonic red that hunted the Senju on the battlefield. They lay open, waiting for someone to blindfold or sew them shut in the appearance of eternal sleep.  Or if he so chose, for Tobirama to pluck them out, poke and pick apart the power that the Uchiha possessed in his need to understand why.

WIP [ace]

“I think I’ll accept.” It was said quickly, a low murmur that Hashirama nearly missed if he hadn’t been accustomed to listening out for his brother over the years.  “Accept?” He asked, furrowing his brows in concern. “If he asked me again. Do you think he’ll ask me again?” Tobirama asked, wide eyes turning to Hashirama. “I was—I was being too hasty perhaps, I didn’t think it through when he asked. I should have, but I let him down out of habit, it was—a habit yes.” Hashirama sighed, heart breaking for his little brother.  “Oh, Tobira.”
