MadaTobi Week Day One: Magic and Marriage

Adventitious

Uchiha Madara, known in some circles as the Calamity, took a moment to reflect upon how he had ended up in this situation. The answer was of course a group of meddling elders who were incapable of minding their own business. It had started with subtle, and some not so subtle hints about settling down and had quickly escalated.

Soon he couldn’t turn around without one of the old fussbudgets droning on about his duty to the clan and that it was time and past he wed and produced an heir. The whole concept was ridiculous. He was only twenty-six. There was still plenty of time.

Unfortunately that argument had not worked on the elders at all. Nor had the one about him being busy. The only debate where he had won any ground had been on avoiding an arranged marriage. Uchiha, by and large, married for love. The clan would have been up in arms if the elder’s council had tried to force the issue.

Izuna had been no help at all. Oh his brother was happy enough to flirt with anyone who was appropriately strong, Likewise the other spent a not inconsiderate amount of time engaging in activities Madara did not want to envision his baby brother participating in. But commitment? Not a chance.

He almost wished Izuna was less responsible with his liaisons. A child out of wedlock would not be the end of the world. In such a scenario Madara could easily arrange for the babe to be brought into the main house. It would probably even get the council off his back for awhile. Alas, it was not to be.

In an act of desperation Madara had even tried claiming he preferred men. It was true, mostly. It was at this point one of the wrinkled bastards had whipped out an authentic Uzumaki grimoire all about fertility spells and sex magic declaring a male spouse would be no issue. How Yoshito had managed to get his hands on the thing, Madara had no idea, but he had.

Even worse, another of the elder’s had thoughtfully put forth the idea of performing the Ritual of Harmony. It would, he claimed, provide Madara with a compatible spouse. Love, the elder had piously exclaimed, would come with time.

The Ritual itself had been around for centuries. And while it was true it would bring forth a compatible match, resulting in some truly cloying love stories, it was rarely used. Most people just were not that enthusiastic about marrying a complete stranger they knew nothing about. Especially given that seperation was not an option. Once a pair was bound, they were bound for life. There were likewise a number of horror stories about attempts by third parties to circumvent or break the bond. Such attempts never ended well.

So here he was, barely a month after the suggestion had been broached, wearing a sober formal kimono and waiting for his bride. Madara tried one last time to think of a way out of this, but failed. It was also, he reflected as the priestess finished, too late anyways. The painted ritual lines pulsed once, twice, before condensing in a ball of light which shown like the sun for a brief moment before fading to leave a figure behind.

Madara’s breath caught in his throat. Pale silvery white hair, crimson eyes, the man was unmistakable. Senju Tobirama. Madara almost panicked before common sense reasserted itself. He had already consented but all the Senju had to do to get out of this was . . .

“I accept.”

As the bond snapped into place Madara could only stare. What? What?!

While Tobirama had initially been shocked, it had barely taken him an instant to grasp the situation. This morning, he would have never even considered marrying Uchiha Madara. But if the Ritual of Harmony had brought them together there was clearly more to the other man than he had ever considered. And of course, there were other factors.

“You,” Madara still had not quite regained the use of his tongue.

“I will of course expect you to make peace with my kin.”

Madara stared stunned. Tobirama was his husband. Hashirama was his brother-in-law. This changed everything. It was at this point that one of the elder’s knelled over with a groan, clutching his chest; immediately sending the rest into a tizzy.

Too bad, Madara thought dispassionately as the elder was rushed off. In his mind, the other had brought it upon himself. Looking back at his new spouse, he almost smiled. Maybe this marriage thing would not be so bad after all.

Hair (And the Heart)

Summary:

The Uchiha aren't fūinjutsu masters, but the Sharingan picks up all sorts of things.

(Some of them more revealing than others.)

Rating: Teen And Up Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama/Uchiha Izuna Word Count: 1,939 (Complete)

Entry for @madatobiweek

Day 6 - November 10: Jutsu gone… Right | Wrong

This story was inspired by Fire and Smoke by @dawen

"Izuna?" Tobirama sticks his head into his friend's kitchen, glad not to have to do this in public. "Can I ask for your opinion on something?"

"Sure, what do you - " Izuna looks up from the fish he's gutting, and Tobirama almost laughs at the shock on his face. "What the fuck."

"Yes, that's quite a succinct description of my predicament." Tobirama drapes the long tail of hair over his shoulder, the result of his newest experiment. "Is this normal for the seal your clan usually uses?"

"No! Not at all!" Washing his hands quickly, Izuna comes over and fingers the strands. "This is down past your knees! How did you manage this?"

"I simply used the seal I've been developing," Tobirama knows his best friend will know exactly what he's talking about, as it was Izuna who showed him what the Uchiha use to regrow their hair after they sit in their fires. "It's not exactly the same as yours, which is why I wanted to check the results with you."

"Well, I don't know how the one we use actually works - I'm not a fūinjutsu master like you, and I always assumed one of our ancestors stole it from somewhere with their Sharingan." Izuna's explanation makes sense, and Tobirama nods along as it's almost exactly what he expected. "But ours doesn't do this."

"Ah, then would you be willing to do a direct comparison?" Tobirama pulls out a kunai and offers it. "If we both shave, any differences in the results should be obvious."

"Sure," Izuna takes the blade, gathering his hair in a fist. "We can - "

"No." Madara-sama interrupts them, bursting through the door. "You're not cutting that, absolutely not."

"If Izuna wants to shave his head, I don't see why you'd object." Tobirama can't help feeling offended at the idea that he'd do anything to hurt his friend. "It's his choice, and it's not like the hair won't grow back almost immediately."

"No! No one is shaving!" Madara-sama waves his hands agitatedly for emphasis, seeming almost panicked by the idea. "Give me the kunai!"

"Nii-san!" Izuna seems to see something in his brother that Tobirama doesn't, and Madara-sama flinches at the tone. "My rival? Really?"

"Shut up!" Izuna's brother glares furiously despite his red face. "Be quiet before I decide you're overdue for a visit to the koi pond!"

"You could try!" Izuna dives out of the window, already taking off running, and Madara-sama chases him.

"Just watch me!" Despite the rapidly growing distance between Tobirama and the two Uchiha, Madara-sama's bellow is loud enough to be heard clearly. "Come back here!"

There's something he's missing here, Tobirama is sure of it, and it's not just the differences between the two seals, but sunset is a while away and he has nothing else to do today.

He can wait.

This is their house, after all - they'll have to come back sometime.

Read the rest on AO3.

madatobi week 2023: day 2 - Teacher or Teashop

his ass is definitely not listening!!! Madara only asked for fuinjutsu lessons to have an excuse to stare at Tobirama for hours without him noticing.

late because I was working that day. I will probably do something for all the days I missed because I'm obsessed with them and I wanna make stuff.

#mdtb #madatobi #madatobiweek2023 #uchiha madara #senju tobirama #my art #tbrm will eventually catch on and just keep going to spend time with mdr #they're both stupid

MadaTobi Week 2023

Day 1 - Marriage/Magic

Burn It Down (Burn It All) - Find it here at AO3!

"It's your destiny! How can you not care?"

Tobirama sighed, stepping past the younger male as he continued packing away the last case of jars, vials and powders on their designated shelves.

“You aren’t even trying; all you ever do is spend all day in this dusty old shop and then disappear into your house at night. You don’t leave the town, you barely visit the main centre, you don’t even collect your own ingredients!” Their hands came down hard, slamming violently onto the countertop. “Do you know how embarrassing it is? That anyone I might offer a pledge to, question ME because of YOU? Always doubting my abilities as a Knight because my Hero brother hides himself away like a coward!” The last word was punctuated with another hit, hard enough to rattle the clay bowls scattered along the counters’ surface.

Tobirama’s head snapped round, eyes flashing in the dim light as the air around them tensed.

“Have you ever thought,” He stepped forwards, words coming out low and hard, ”that maybe I like my life like this? That maybe, just maybe, I’m free to do whatever I want regardless of what anyone else thinks of my supposed ‘destiny’?” He bared his teeth, the disappointment and exhaustion coiling in his chest turning into a hot, burning rage. “I did what I was supposed to, I played my part for over 20 years, I DID MY DUTY! AND FOR WHAT?”

Kawarama’s eyes widened at his shout, the younger stumbling back as Tobirama advanced on him. “W-wait, Tobirama, just calm down, just-”

“I’ve been calm. I’ve been patient. I’ve been lenient. But no more. Now you listen and listen well.” He prowled closer, the darkening, twisting shadows of his shop made all the more prominent by the shining markings on his face; a pulsing, red glow that continued to grow brighter with his every step. “No more will I be looked down upon and disrespected; to be begged for potions and elixirs one moment and spat upon the next. I did my duty; I bought peace and prosperity and still you want more. Demand more? No.”

He backed the other closer towards the door, pausing when Kawarama’s hand dropped to his side, a white knuckled grip wrapped tight around the hilt of his sword. Head cocked, Tobirama eyed the others pale skin, his tense shoulders, the faint tremor of his hands he couldn’t quite hide. He was afraid. Kawarama feared him. Maybe that would have been enough to stop him, once.

(Before the war, before the sacrifices. Before the weight of a Crown too heavy to bear. Before. Before. Before. But not now.)

“I gave everything for this Kingdom, Kawarama. I took the Crown so our brother would be spared. I performed the rituals and rites, I’m the one who bound my soul to an Other. I fought and bled and bargained my Immortal Soul for the success of our people.” His voice gentled, nearly chest to chest with his brother, as he cradled his face between his hands; an action so similar to their childhood it made his heart ache as he looked straight into the younger's eyes.

(His mother’s eyes, HIS eyes, before he was taken apart, and remade for the sake of ‘Destiny’.)

“I did all that was asked of me. And when my body was finally flayed open and the last of my bones picked clean, the Council declared me unfit and unneeded. I did my duty.” Tobirama dropped his head, pressing their foreheads together as heat crackled at his back, his fingers tightening their grip on the younger's face. “I did my duty. I’m not Kohona’s Hero; not anymore.”

(He felt the shift before it happened; the sound of steel on steel, the burning in his gut, the taste of iron on his tongue. Is it really betrayal if he’d Seen it coming all along?)

“Then by Order of the Royal Court and High Council, King Hashirama has Renounced all ties to the one formally known as the Hero Tobirama; your blood is wiped clean, your name stricken from the Ancestral Tree. You have been Named Outcast, and by Royal Decree have been Declared Intolerable to the Kingdom and its People.” The Knight’s sword twisted in Tobirama’s stomach, tearing flesh and muscle as blood dripped down their hand and pooled slowly at their feet.

(It sank into the ground, running in divots along the floor and pooling in shallow wells. Tobirama had built this place with his own hands. Had they forgotten just what he could do? Forgotten just why they were afraid?)

“No Intolerable is permitted to step foot within the Kingdom; as a Knight it is my duty to dispose of any violators with extreme prejudice.”

(Maybe it was time to remind them.)

The Knight wrenched the sword back, causing blood to gush hot and wet down his skin, but Tobirama grabbed his wrist in a bruising grip, glaring at him with glowing, half-lidded eyes. Sweat dripped down the other's face, the heat rising higher around them with every second. There was an explosion behind them, containers shattering under the intense heat as the wood panelling started to warp and bend.

“You Declare me Intolerable?” He flexed his fingers, feeling the other’s bones grind and shift under their skin. “So be it.”

As if waiting for permission, the sigil beneath his feet pulsed once, burning a deep black, before the air suddenly crashed down on them, forcing the Knight to his knees. A clawed hand wrapped itself around Tobirama’s side, pressing into torn flesh and causing the spilled blood to sizzle and steam at the contact. The touch brought a familiar burn, the feel of his flesh knitting itself back together just as painful and nauseating now as it was the first time it happened, so long ago.

(It felt like a punishment at first, a healing so much worse than the initial blow, for daring to bind the Other to himself. Payment for his arrogance, his desperation to take on a role that was never his to begin with.)

“Such a sweet Calling, my Beloved. And under such interesting circumstances.” The words were purred above his head, a line of heat moulding against his back as long, black hair brushed his cheek.

(Now it felt like a claiming; the marks of others covered by the possessive scars of their own.)

Choked breathes drew their eyes, both sets as red as fresh blood, to the bowed form of the fallen Knight. “A-Ash Bri-Bring-er,” voice shaking in fear, the Knight tried to back away, legs collapsing as he dragged himself across the floor and smearing blood in his wake.

Tobirama felt the Other preen next to him, smoking curling around their feet and snaking out towards the Knight. “My reputation precedes me,” they stepped forward, hand trailing down Tobirama’s arm before they crouched down by the trembling man, “then you should be honoured to find death at my hand.”

The words seemed to snap the Knight out of his stupor, his arm raising with his blade in hand. “I Know your Name, Madara,” his voice was hoarse from the smoke and heat, but gained strength as he continued, “I Know your Oath and its Binds to this Kingdom, you have no sanctions here.”

Tobirama was impressed by the Knights courage; he’d seen much older and more experienced Knights and Mages turn tail and flee at the sight of his Bonded. To speak with such composure while sprawled at the feet of a Calamity was something to respect; even if what he said was wrong.

(Oaths were tricky things. Wording mattered as much as intention; and performing them with Others added another layer of Bindings that were even harder to navigate and balance. They'd been desperate when Tobirama made his Oaths, and had been willing to bargain more loosely than they ought. He wondered how desperate they'd be this time.)

Madara laughed, flashing sharp teeth as he leaned forward, the tip of the other’s sword resting in the centre of his chest. “Oh? How confident you sound. So certain of your own safety.” He wrapped his hand around the blade, sharpened steel crumpling like paper as he bent it in half and ripped it away from the Knights grip. The warped metal skidded across the floor, passing through black flames to stop at the far wall where the metal started to soften and deform under the intense heat.

“Shall I let you in on a secret, little knight?” The words were cooed as Madara lightly ran a claw down the Knight's cheek, leaving blistering welts and burns in its wake as the other bit back a muffled scream. "My Oaths were Bound by Name, tied to another and Payed with the Soul and Spirit of my Beloved. I was Named by the Hero Tobirama of the Firelands Kingdom, and my Bindings answer to the same. Tell me, little knight, what do you think happens to those Bindings when the one they are tied to ceases to exist?"

The question hung between them, the Others red eyes alight with cruel amusement as the Knight finally put the pieces together to the answer the two Bonded already knew. Panicked eyes snapped to meet Tobirama’s own.

(The Oaths they had sworn had laid everything at Tobirama’s feet; twisted to give everything to the Kingdom while leaving Tobirama to shoulder the repercussions. The good of the many over the suffering of one. An acceptable loss.)

“T-Tobi-ack!”

The call cut off, caught by the claw tipped hand wrapped around the Knight’s neck, its thumb pressing hard into the hollow of his throat. “None of that now; there’s no use calling for ghosts.”

Madara watched the Knight struggle uselessly, the skin under his hand starting to blacken and crack, blood steaming as it hit his skin. The Knight gurgled as blood bubbled and dripped from his mouth, legs kicking out weakly as he tried to pry the Others hand away, burning his fingers and palms. Slowly, the struggles lessened, the body stilling as Madara let it fall carelessly to the floor.

The scent of burnt flesh filled the room, catching in the back of Tobirama’s throat and making him grimace. No matter how many times he’d smelt it since being tied to his Bonded, he never got used to it. Nevertheless, he stepped closer to the Calamity, letting his arm curl possessively around Tobirama’s waist as he pulled him flush to his side.

“Are you ready to visit a few others before we leave, my Beloved?” Tobirama felt the Calamity’s chest rumble as he spoke, leaning into it as he hummed in thought.

“We might not have time to see all of them, but I suppose we can come back again if needed.” His Bonded laughed, grabbing Tobirama’s chin and twisting his head to press their mouths together in a bruising kiss. He tasted blood as the others' sharp teeth caught the skin of his lip, the Calamity’s tongue running over the small wound as he chased the taste into Tobirama’s mouth.

“A gift for our Honeymoon then; a trip to the Palace and all the people in it. What more could my Beloved want.” He nipped his mouth again before pulling back, stepping through the last of the dying black flames and into the ashy remains of Tobirama’s shop.

(They thought damning Tobirama would save them. The Kingdom, its People and their true King. That the Others rage at being Bound would focus on Tobirama instead of the Kingdom, even once he was cast out.)

(They were wrong.)

Fandom Year in Review (2023)

It's the very last day of 2023, which means it's time for my annual look back and some number-crunching with my AO3 stats and writing over the year!

(Before I get to setting next year's goals and back to writing before midnight, of course! ;))

I posted 142 new stories to AO3 this year!

Fewer than last year but still quite a respectable number (especially given I dropped off posting every single day after October this year - I kept it up for 1,675 days straight, or 55 complete months!).

Those stories were in 33 fandoms, 14 of them new, and featured 43 ships (not counting gen relationships), 18 of them new!

I posted a total of 319,688 words to AO3 this year!

By way of events, I participated in:

the Three Sentence Ficathon

my own Valentine's Spectacular

@domaystic

Small Fandoms Fest

@kakashiweek

@whumptober (completionist again!)

NejiHina Week hosted by @nejihinata

I started 3 new minific collections, those being:

Dog-sensei & Sparklepuppy (Naruto; Kakashi & Sakura)

Tales from the Fishbowl (Kingyou-hime)

Sailing in Stars and Shadow (Captain Harlock)

All three of which are mainly to corral my 3SFs for those various themes/ships.

I posted 190 minifics in total!

Minific breakdown:

Captain Harlock~ ❧14 minifics

Castlevania~ ❧5 minifics

Chronicles of Narnia~ ❧8 minifics

Greek mythology~ ❧8 minifics

. . .and there's my look back on 2023! I explored new things and fell (unexpectedly deeply, perhaps) into some beloved old ones, tried to curtail my impulses on driving too hard on events while still participating and having fun. . .

Of course as always I have many things in the works (a moon-cycle-related project for all of 2024, my upcoming 7th year of doing my Valentine's Spectacular, a dark and twisty longfic. . .) and I'll be back soon! Maybe even with a new story tomorrow? We'll see!

Regardless, I'll always be around on AO3 and I'm sure not going anywhere!

Happy New Year!
