Summary
“Hello, can I help you?” asks Tobirama, setting down his tablet when he hears the wind chimes tinkle. Hashirama had set them up above the door in place of a doorbell. Only then does he catch sight of the two customers who have entered the store; a handsome young man, maybe a little older than Tobirama with a wealth of dark hair, and a tiny boy with equally messy hair, maybe six years years old.
“That’s not what you’re supposed to say,” says the kid looking up at him with large dark eyes, and a pinched expression on his face.

Summary
"It's not an extinction event," Madara was arguing hotly. "I mean — okay, it would kill everyone on the planet, but that wasn't the original plan. It's an illusion world, people need to be alive to be in the illusion."
"How would anyone eat while trapped in your fucking Norse-rip-off world tree," Tobirama snapped, hearing his temper audibly stretch to the breaking point.
"The tree provides nutrients," Madara yelled back, having lost his temper ten minutes ago. "How fucking stupid do you think I am?"

Summary
My husband-to-be,
Or am I now to presume otherwise on the basis of your silence?
I feel most compelled to send word that you have been an utter waste of space in my heart and mind—and of ink, words, and paper. I refuse to tolerate this any longer. This is your formal ultimatum.
When Madara receives a blistering letter from Tobirama a few weeks before their wedding, he resolves to end the coup he set in motion against his father’s court and recalls why he ever dared to start it.
