Madatobi body swap fic idea:
The jutsu goes horrible wrong, either a Tobirama special experimental or the yamanaka clan were doing a thing and the thing went awry.
Tobirama in Madara's body: he can't believe how bad Madara's eyesight has gotten. He can't believe how much raw power chakra he has. He can't believe how warm he feels, this body is warm. And strong. And passionate, it feels intensely, like emotions are sensations.
Madara in Tobirama's body: the added height is nice, but the sensory overload is nauseating. He cannot focus because he is noticing everything all at once. He can't reel this sensory ability in enough but when he pushes outward, it just keeps going. He can sense the entire territory. And he is freezing and in pain. He craves a long soak in a hot spring.
Since they are stuck for at least a few days, Tobirama decides to try to somewhat heal Madara's eyesight. He tries to think of it as his own eyesight. He also decides to heal small other injures that were clearly being neglected.
Madara wants to go to Hashirama for some healing, but he doesn't want to explain the situation just yet so he stalks down his own body with Tobi inside and confronts him like: 'what the hell?!? Why are you in so much chronic pain?'
And Tobirama looks at him confused like ' that is my normal??? Why do you run so hot? Why did you not mention the state of your eyes'
They bully snark tease each other in taking better care of the other. They decided to take an evening to visit an onsen and fic writers take it from there!
Excerpts: Madara finding the combo of heat and water in the onsen to be extremely pleasant. Tobirama, knowing this, using Katon to make it warmer. Tobirama giving Madara advice on his daily training and body details in a clinical way, as a peace offering. Madara making snark talk back but not shutting it down. Backhanded compliments and all that.
when they switch back Madara is shocked at how much healing his eyes have gone through...
(his teeth are whiter than ever, his chakra flows perfectly, has his hair been oiled and brushed and pressed?!? The bags under his eyes have lessened?!?that has never happened. His nails are trimmed. His scars have faded. He feels like he has been tenderized, and then spent a week eating and sleeping. He feels good. Really good. WHY? ).....and Tobirama is like 'I designed a protocol to prevent deterioration until we can come up with a permanent solution' and Madara is like this is more than you had to do. Madara starts to notice the little flinches of pain and stress that bleed into Tobirama's subtle movements. Tobirama catches him noticing and doubles his efforts to hide it.
How much pain are you in? Madara tries to encourage Tobirama to manage his painful body a little better. Making him drink and onsen more and work slightly less. Making the places they occupy warmer than they have to be. He also encourages him to let loose in the only ways he can: chemical override. They drink and smoke together. this is i guess a slow burn fic??? Bc Madara is trying to 1) have his eyes fully healed 2) wants to know how to take care of his own body better and feel good like that again 3) enjoying the weird dynamic they have.
While Tobirama has no idea what he is feeling because being in Madara's body was so disorienting he's off the map. He is sharing his healing jutsu and laboratory herbs with Madara because he's weirdly comfortable with his presence there since Madara's body was already in the lab for a few days. He appreciates his pain being seen and known by another. But its also weird. No one has even known the vastness of his sensory ability and now he cannot hide it. Madara now knows to look to him first whenever there is an alarm or disturbing report near the village. And Madara is warm, he is drawn to him.
It does not help when Madara keeps inviting him to the onsen to just be there. He doesn't want to talk village affairs and Tobirama does not know what else to discuss so he starts bringing his hygiene and healing remedies to share. Herbal teas to sip while soaking, medicinal snacks that don't taste great but do wonders for the nervous system. When they get out. Tobirama unscrolls his acupuncture needles and begins placing them on himself. He offers to do this to Madara, who thinks he's going to get the same treatment. But no, Tobirama has him lie down on his front, only his buttocks covered, and he sticks him like a porcupine.
Its sunset when Madara wakes from his healing trance and his entire body is buzzing with electricity. He cracks an eye and shifts his head to see Tobirama sitting at the short desk, writing in a scoll, he has several needles at pressure points in his face and head. Many notably on his markings. Madara must make a noise because Tobirama smoothly moves to grab a bowl and begins removing the many many needles sticking out of Madara's back, neck, legs, arms and head. But ALOT in the back.
By the time they are all removed, Madara is shivering with charged energy moving around his body. He's needs to bathe and soak again and then go to sleep. As he gets up to do so Tobirama breaks the silence with 'I apologize if that was too intense, I lost track of the time' he is pointedly not looking at him. Madara feels drunk as he stumbles back towards the baths. It's not until he's rinsing off the sweat to enter the springs before he realizes he's fully hard.
