Summary
opia
n. - the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable -- as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there's someone standing there, but unable to tell if you're looking in or looking out.╪
Between the person he was and the person he needs to be, a boy learns the path of a warrior and what it means to protect those close to him. Trying to navigate a world of chakra is no small task, and war threatens to make monsters of men and legends of the broken. Being born an Uchiha is a simultaneous stroke of fortune and ambiguous doom, but, well - can he really be blamed for wanting to save the world?

Summary
keyframe
n. a moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion into a strange new era of your life—set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next, until entire years of your memory can be compressed into a handful of indelible images—which prevents you from rewinding the past, but allows you to move forward without endless buffering.¦ | ¦
A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. Who they are; who they should be.
Amateurs, lecturing a professional.
It's no simple thing, to be a Lightbearer. When he first arose, there were no guidelines, no Last City; no Hunters or Titans or Warlocks...
Just him and his Ghost. And a wide, wide world.

Summary
Itachi’s hazy vision, tinged crimson by both the Sharingan and blood, memorized Sasuke’s face as its last sight. It was surely the delusions of death that superimposed a seven-year-old’s face over his little brother’s, but he supposed that in many ways Sasuke still looked the same as he did a decade ago. He had their mother’s eyes.
“Forgive me, Sasuke. There won’t be a next time.”
Itachi closed his eyes for the last time –
And then his day gets worse.
⟰⟱
In which Itachi is given a second chance - though not, perhaps, in the way he might have wished.

Mara Jade is the dutiful servant of the Emperor, unquestioning, unfailing, and unapologetic of the suffering she's both caused and endured.The Force gazes upon them both and tuts; This simply would not do.
