Summary
Back from the failed Paradis mission, Reiner Braun finds himself trapped in a role he no longer believes in. The idealism of childhood is gone, replaced by guilt and self-loathing as he carries out atrocities for Marley. Reiner's miserable four-year time skip.
Reiner had lost himself on Paradis. The more he tried to be Marley's Sword and Shield, a good Eldian, a perfect Warrior, the more apparent it was that he was incapable of being any of these things. Maybe it was the inevitable result of growing up — losing faith, seeing through the illusions and lies to the festering truth beneath. Maybe he was contaminated, irrevocably stained by contact with the enemy. It happened, especially in campaigns where soldiers were in close contact with enemy populations — defection and fraternisation. This was why there had been a push in the 820s to expand the use of Eldian battalions. Nobody wanted to fraternise with devils.
He teetered between the desire to die and the conviction that living was the punishment he deserved. On the frontlines it was easy to believe he was already in hell.

Summary
Hashirama had always been a nuisance. For years he insisted that they were friends, no matter how many times Madara told him they were not. After becoming colleagues, he was just there in Madara’s life all the time. (At least in office hours.) It wouldn’t have been so bad, if Madara wasn’t attracted to him. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Hashirama was straight… wasn’t he?

Summary
Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha are tied together by the black thread of fate, destined to die by the other’s hand like their brothers Hashirama and Madara. The thread becomes entangled, however, when Tobirama happens to save Izuna’s life in a moment of conflict and Izuna is bound by honour to settle his debt. This reluctant bond weaves the black with red as they learn that prejudice is unfounded and love knows no allegiance.

Sunburns, Stalemates, and Other Ways Shikamaru Lost His Peace of Mind by psychedelicriot
Fandoms: Naruto (Anime & Manga)

Summary
Shikamaru has survived ambushes, missions gone sideways, even Naruto’s terrible jokes. What he hasn’t survived, at least not gracefully, is five separate occasions where Naruto manages to pin him, crowd him, or otherwise ruin his peace of mind in ways far too distracting to be normal.
Training ground accidents, cramped closets, battlefield patch-ups, sleepovers, and bathhouse disasters, every situation ends the same: Shikamaru trying (and failing) to pretend he’s fine.
Add one final moment where Naruto finally figures out what’s been going on, and suddenly Shikamaru’s carefully-maintained façade doesn’t stand a chance.
.
or 5 times Shikamaru got a raging boner for Naruto but the latter couldn't comprehend nor realize it (according to Shikamaru); and the 1 time he finally did.
