SLDKJFLSKDJF thank you! ;___; There are parts I like and parts that I really wish I could have done a lot bit better; all in all, the giftee was pleased and I couldn't ask for much more than that.
Anyway, the basic concept was a world where there were ninjas, but all of it kind of hidden in mostly plain sight in the modern world. It's kind of a fun place to play, really.
And yes, yes -- it's so easy for these two to slide right into creeper territory, but I've totally taken my cues from Lily, here -- I think my favorite bits about her art, at least regarding these two, is the way that it seems a fairly equal relationship. Madara's not constantly pictured topping the shit out of Itachi, and Itachi doesn't come off this wheedling uke thing because it seems to me that a lot of people forget that Itachi, despite his disadvantages, was fully capable and willing to go against the Big Scary Dude, and work their relationship to his advantage to the best of his ability. This is probably why I'm so picky about reading anything involving the two of them, and why I'm so fucking excited it blipped on your radar. ALSO, THERE'S SEXY IN SPADES.
I loved writing three, though it's high on the list of 'god I wish I could have said it better'. SHISUI, SOB. I've stayed away from writing him in general because I don't think I could do it without channeling yours harder than Miss Cleo. And yes, the Nick Cave, it is strong here; I think all the titles are NC&TBS songs or albums with the exception of 'Destined for Great Things', which is a Nick Cave/Warren Ellis (but not that Warren Ellis) collab soundtrack for the movie The Road. Nick Cave does some pretty intense Uchiha-flavored music, though I imagine none quite as heavily as The Good Son which might as well just be alternately titled That Poor Fucker, Itachi.
...my brain totally got hijacked about halfway through this response by www.infomercial-hell.com. What is this. D:
