Summary
“Why don’t you hate me?” Obito rasped. “You should. I nearly killed Rin. I nearly killed you so many times.”
“I also nearly killed Rin,” Kakashi shrugged. “You’re you. I can’t hate you.”
“You did hate me. You hated the Sharingan.”
Kakashi shrugged again. His thumb drew smooth arches over Obito’s rough skin. Faint sunlight trickled in from a small window at the very top of the prison cell. They were both tired to the bone. It had been nearly a decade of this chasing and fleeing. This sort of cyclical, endless failure would wear anyone down to rags.
“I kept it, didn’t I?” Kakashi’s hand dropped. They both stared at each other. After a moment of consideration, he confessed: “I don’t know, Obito. Because it’s you.”

Summary
He will think, ah, I miss him. He will try to replay the memory, but memories don’t work like video players. It escapes his grasp no matter how hard he tries to hold onto it. He will momentarily be filled with the nebulous happiness of his youth. The world was small enough then that he felt large enough to swallow the sky.

Summary
Yanqing raises his sword. His arms don't shake.
A Cloud Knight must never let slip their weapon, after all.
A burst of light. In that one infinitesimal fraction of a second between the minute particles of light and heat barrelling towards the General and back to Yanqing's irises, he sees--
The General, face melding into bark, skin peeling into fiber-
His hand loosening, guandao slipping from limp arms-
The slow drag of his gaze and the weary warmth that has never left his eyes since the day he picked Yanqing off the streets--
The General smiles, body loose in welcome of the light.
"Baba," Yanqing cries.
or// 5 times mara was discussed + 1 time yanqing had to do something about it.

Summary
Satoru hasn’t had to worry about the bounty sitting on his head for a long time. He forgets it there. It means nothing to him besides the occasional bounty hunter that attempts to fight him. Moving away from the school should have restarted that nasty anxiety that lived in him like a second skeleton for much of his younger life. But he’s the strongest sorcerer. He’s Satoru Gojo, Six Eyes. He has died and been reborn better, greater, clutching the power of existence in his palms.
Satoru barks a hysterical sounding laugh. He rubs his hands up his face, leans back and laughs at the smoggy sky.
“My birthday cake, that I ordered this morning at five thirty, was poisoned. My kid who hates sweets took the first bite and nearly died because of it.” Satoru wipes moisture from his eyes. Let out one last breathy laugh. “Someone is going to die.”

Summary
Shoko lights his cigarette first, then hers. They each take a drag and sigh.
“Holding up okay?”
“Oh, you know how it is when your best friend-slash-crush murders your estranged parents and takes off into the night without so much as a backward glance.” Suguru shrugs, having since settled into the strange new normal of a life devoid of Satoru.
“Oh, so now you’ll admit you were crushing on him,” Shoko complains.
In which Satoru Gojo defects instead.

Summary
“Can you fix my eyes?”
“It’s not your eyes that need to be fixed.”
For a moment, he’s back in the hospital with his head throbbing and immense pain coursing through his veins, his lungs on the verge of collapse, his body begging for it all to end. He’s tired, so tired. Tired of not knowing anything, tired of the constant aches, tired of trying to find himself with nothing to show.
“I don’t understand.” His voice, over the flames and screams in his head, comes out quiet. He’s not sure if he even said the words out loud or if he merely moved his lips, mute with nothing but ragged breath escaping.
A strong arm pulls him back into the priest’s warm chest.
“You reek of monkey.”Temporary amnesia due to severe trauma. It’s all the doctor can tell Satoru when he wakes up bloodied and bruised with no ID on him and no fingerprints matching any record. Plagued with the idea that his life must have been meaningless if no one is even looking for him, Satoru finds himself in front of a buddhist temple that proves him otherwise. As the haze around his memories clears, the guesses of who did this to him and why turn muddier and muddier.

Summary
“What did we say?” Hayden said, using his best approximation of a stern dad voice as he approached them. “No iPad after lights out.” Damn, they needed to change the passcode on that thing again. How did Ruby keep figuring it out?
The little terror in question was looking up at him with wide eyes, her face lit spookily from beneath by the screen. “Uncle Shane got hurt,” Ruby whispered.
Hayden's POV. Set during Dig Two Graves chapter 5.
