    Summary

    Tobirama had never heard of this so-called omega ward, but since Konoha's hospital was Hashirama's pet project, that wasn't entirely surprising. A dedicated ward for long-term care seemed rather sensible, to be honest.

    Still. Pillow forts? Ridiculous.

    And probably exactly in line with what Hashirama envisioned when he created this ward behind Tobirama's back.

    Summary

    Worse than receiving the mark - to have to stay still under Butsuma while he carved it in his skin - is the aftermath, when his father spits in his head, looks at it with pride every time he sees it even if it is covered with his happuri, he makes sure to torment Tobirama, to never let him forget it what was done to him.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao would do absolutely ANYTHING for his father, but when Jin Guangshan's eyes start lingering on Huaisang, he finds a line he wouldn't cross.

    (Because if his father makes a move on Huaisang, Nie Mingjue would tear off Jin Guangyao's limbs or his head on his way to stab Sect Leader Jin, and Jin Guangyao would like to live, thank you. It's safer for everyone for Jin Guangshan to just. stop. looking.)

    Now with a Spanish Translation by Enigmatek and a podfic by Rionaa!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Yao-ge,” says Nie Huaisang, and there’s something off, he looks just a little tense even though he’s doing his best to keep a perfect smile on his face.

    If Jin Guangyao didn’t spend all his time faking smiles, he might have fallen for this one.

    But there was something almost appraising in his father’s gaze that Jin Guangyao just couldn’t stand (He knows those looks intimately, had grown up with those looks from the brothel owner, the jealous older brothel-sisters, and the occasional customers who caught a glimpse of him and seemed to think about it). Huaisang doesn’t seem to notice his father's gaze, but it makes Jin Guangyao’s skin crawl on Huaisang’s behalf.

    Jin Guangyao can have one friend, one person who cares for him without his father ruining things for him, he can.

    Apparently Jin Guangyao cannot have good things.

    It’s not an outright untruth; about half of the work that he takes back to his rooms to work over-night is his own, trying to write out the details of his Watchtower project so that he can present it to his father. The rest is work for his father, or Jin Zixun, or a handful of other Jin elders who like their positions for the wealth and respect it affords them, but care little for the actual work. Jin Guangyao does not have the political clout to refuse them, and has to accept the extra work and feign gratitude for the 'honor' of helping them.

    Somehow he hadn’t expected to be asked.

    The warmth that fills him as they compliment his ideas, and offer suggestions of their own… he doesn’t know the last time that he felt as wanted. As useful. Jin Guangyao has always been the only person who sees his own worth, that it’s much more than those around him would ever recognize. Sitting across quickly forgotten, cooling tea, with Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue, his most hopeful plans held in their hands, Jin Guangyao feels seen in a way he has never before, not even when they chose to become his sworn brothers.

    It brings Jin Guangyao a sharp reminder that if his father actually acts on his inappropriate attraction, there is so much that he values that would be at stake.

    Jin Guangyao pales as he realizes his father’s interest is all but permanently hooked in Nie Huaisang now. Huaisang, you idiot. My father has a type.

    (He wishes he could believe that his father wouldn't force himself on Nie Huaisang, but Jin Guangyao is not in the habit of lying to himself. If his own best friend's wife was not off limits, Huaisang would not be.)

    “What’s there to explain?” asks Jin Guangyao, with candidness he did not allow himself when sober and well-rested.

    Jin Guangyao has made such a mess of this conversation, and he's painfully aware of it. Jin Guangshan has no use for a disloyal bastard son. Any misstep now could cost him his life.

    “Because Sect Leader Jin was just like you, he wouldn’t mind killing others to get what he wants, but unlike you, what he wants is stupid, and he wasn’t smart the way you are, to kill the least number of people to get the job done. He had to be stopped.”

    Jin Guangyao feels frozen in place. It’s the same as Nie Mingjue’s suspicions of him, only Nie Huaisang says the words like it's fact. Like he can see right through every pretty facade that Jin Guangyao has ever built to conceal himself, down to the ugliness within.

    “And what do I want?” asks Jin Guangyao. His voice comes out a whisper. He doesn’t understand how Nie Huaisang knows him like this.

    “You want the world to be better, and to stop kicking you down,” says Nie Huaisang. “I didn’t understand for the longest time, I thought you wanted power too, like Jin Guangshan. And you do. But mostly that’s so no one dares to hurt you again.”

    And then it does make sense. “You’ve done this before,” breathes Jin Guangyao, unable to believe it, but unable to come up with any other possible answer. “You knew what would happen.”

    “Yao-ge, you truly have an incredible mind. No one else even suspected,” he says.

    There’s a twinkle in his eyes though, one that hints that he still has secrets, and Jin Guangyao asks, “How many times have you done this?” and smiles at the renewed surprise on Nie Huaisang’s face.

    A basic guide to CSS and HTML, dumbed down for my brain and yours, free gift included for the guy who’s name I know. I am far from expert, but I’m doing my best! First chapter is explanation and demonstration, second chapter is the raw CSS code for your copy-paste loving hands. Go on, rob me.

    Note: I’ll be doing my CSS experiments here so I don’t muck up my updating fics. Just stay on the first three chapters and you’re fine.

    Summary

    The first time Sakura ever touches one of Tsunade's slug summons, they discover that she's Hashirama Senju Reincarnated-- but of course they don't bother to tell her that. They make her figure it out on her own, but not really. (Tobirama's just glad to see his brother again)

    AKA Naruto and Sasuke get to be OP because they're reincarnated gods or whatever, so why can't Sakura?
