Canon: Naruto
Pairing: Hashirama Senju/Madara Uchiha
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 3,866
Summary: The madman wearing Madara's face laughs, presses a hand to Hashirama’s chest where the yukata is falling open. A seal blooms beneath his fingertips, stark black against his bare skin, and Madara snarls a denial, leaps for him only to pull up short when Hashirama chokes, legs giving way again. He crumples to the ground with a sound of pain, shaking, and Madara tumbles down next to him, hauling him up, trying to make out the seal through a haze of panic. He’s already lost Izuna; if Hashirama disappears from the world as well, if Madara is left on his own in the shards of their dream— “I’d forgotten how pathetic I used to be,” his double says, derisive.

Recommendation: New Year's Hiatus ~ Or really partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and the holidays are about to really kick off.
