Summary
Orochimaru had learned to loathe rain during the second great war. He remembered he hadn’t cared much about rain when he was younger. But that rain in Ame had marked him. That damp cold, the moisture and soddenness. Their clothes never dried in those days. The blood on them, on their clothes, in their hair, on their skin was always wet, like freshly spilled. The dampness crept in his bones and refused to leave, even when they were able to light a fire.
He hated the rain, since then. He had lost a friend to Rain. It had been absolutely bucketing down when he had to tell Tsunade about her brother’s death. And it had been raining that night Dan had died in Tsunade’s arms.
It was ironical that it had been such a nice night, when Sen decided to ditch him.
-- Continues exactly where "us and them" ends. I recommend to read at least the last chapter to catch up.

Summary
Schneller. Schneller, schneller, schnellerschnellerschneller!, ihre Gedanken, die Mewtus, kein Unterschied, ein sich Ineinanderweben, wie Flüssigkeiten des gleichen Aggregatzustands, Reifen auf Asphalt, erneut dieses flache Geräusch, noch lauter, und dann der klare Befehl, der nicht der ihre war, sondern ganz eindeutig sein:
Sieh’ nicht zurück!
Lea bekämpfte das Bedürfnis, in den Rückspiegel zu blicken. Ihren Blick fixierte sie auf die Straße, ignorierte das flackernde Blaulicht, reflektiert in ihren Seitenspiegeln. Sie hörte das Kreischen von Bremsen, das Quietschen von Gummi rutschend über Asphalt und sie sah nicht zurück, sie ignorierte ihre Spiegel, sie sah nicht zurück, als sie ein kratzendes Kreischen hörte – sich verformendes, verbiegendes Metall –, Schreie von gebrochener Materie, ein lauter Knall, unterdrückte jeglichen Impuls, sich umzuwenden, als sie endlich etwas hörte, das die Chemikerin sehr gut kannte – Explosion –, laut genug, um das Geräusch der zuschlagenden Kofferraumtür zu verschlingen. Sie fühlte etwas Warmes auf ihrer Schulter und zuckte, fuhr einen kleinen Schlenker, seine Hand – Pranke –, als er sich zu ihr nach vorne neigte.
Sieh nicht zurück. -

“Sexual identity is a concept, Itachi. Don’t be afraid to try something initially uncomfortable to learn something about yourself.”

Summary
There are friends who come along with certain decisions, mostly not made by oneself. And then there are friends you make by your own decisions.
Orochimaru was like the winter. Cold, icy, harshly, and quiet, too. There was no warmth to expect, everything hidden beneath the cover of immaculate snow, serene, deadly, but tempting in its beauty. Incalculable in its stormy nature, the chilly, grey sky possibly metamorphosing in harsh snowstorms. And so, Sen was summer. Hot-blooded, fiery, sometimes hazy, sometimes dizzy and lethargic, but always clear to words, clear as the summer sky, only darkened by heavy summer storms, clearing her from her furious wrath trapped inside her. Together, they could be the best of them: Mellow autumn days, rustling leaves, in red and gold burning trees, the air clear, fresh, the daylight a golden, honey shade, unique for the whole year, the last kiss of summer warmth, already in anticipation for the longer nights: remembering the best what lays behind, preparing for the worst to come, carrying the strength of yesteryears, without fear for the dark and cold before them.

Summary
“Don’t tell me you didn’t ever enjoy it—the thrill, the sheer power you have over anyone’s fate as you decide, their future laying in your hands—don’t tell me you haven’t become intoxicated by this potency of yours.”

Summary
Dying, trapped in a crack in the world, Jayce has lost almost everything- save the memories. And in the darkness those come out in terrible, technicolor clarity. Every victory, every failure, how it all began- and how it ended. Every single time he stepped over the edge. Every time he fell.
(Jayce hadn't thought anything of him at first- easy to overlook an unwanted bureaucrat- easier still, to overlook a cripple.)
(Something sly about it, the cast of that pale face. Just how bright those golden eyes were, in the black. They seemed to catch the light, reflecting it back, like those of a young fox.)
Of course, falling didn't always hurt. Once, he had fallen in love.

Summary
“I realize this must be disorienting for you. Dying isn’t something you had any prior experience with. I’ve been through this three times, if you count the loss of my body, but it still took me a while to accept it.”
Some experiences you only live through once and they become a wake-up call. Dying, Jayce Talis realizes, is definitely one of them.

Summary
Orochimaru-sama comes to the Academy and asks for the student with the best calligraphy.
“Only the girls learn it,” Iruka-sensei says, and Orochimaru-sama clicks his tongue like he disapproves. “But we have several capable young kunoichi.”
Sakura has the highest marks in calligraphy, higher even than Ino-chan. She has good marks in their painting class, too, and any class that involves holding a pencil. She tells Orochimaru-sama this proudly.
“How wonderful,” he says, and she’s giddy with praise from the legendary war hero.
He wants to see her write, so she does. They go to Iruka-sensei’s desk and both her teacher and Orochimaru-sama watch her. Orochimaru-sama asks her to write smaller and smaller. She does. He praises her.
“Yes,” he says, “I think you’ll do.”
