Irenic. (Finished! Ch. 48/48; Tobirama x OC)

Sometimes life is decided in a mere second.

A decision Akiko Uchiha, younger sister of Madara Uchiha, believes in with all her heart - and yet one that seemingly cost her everything. But for as long as she could remember, she had one dream: peace. And for this dream, she is forced to give up everything indeed. Yet sometimes the brightest things are born of the deepest tragedies and thus, when Akiko Uchiha took up her arms and ran, she had no idea what fortune had in store for her.

Warnings: Grapic violence, (canon) character death, canon violence, enemies to friends to lovers, slow burn, hurt/comfort

Finished! At 310k, I finally managed to bring this story to an end. If you care to read it - or if you're just curious:

ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.

also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.

First eye contact during battle after Izuna awakened his Sharingan.

If that actually happened, I think even THAT was a strategy to Tobirama.

26.08.01 Revised it a little bit. Made it more shadowy and reddish.

haigidal

Doodles and a failed attempt at coloring Tobirama. The third one somehow looks like a caveman.

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!

Not only is it not weird, it is ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED. Authors LOVE IT when people do this!!! Its not "weird" and its not "neutral" -- its a fucking DELIGHT. Feel very absolutely free to read though an author's entire back catalogue, leaving kudos and/or comments along the way; we absolutely freaking love when someone does this. There is nothing more joyful than getting a comment notification for an old fic. It will make our day, I promise.

TOBIRAMA IN THE NEW NARUTO MOBILE RONIN TRAILER

That fic you wrote?

The one about the ship no one else cares about, or the deeply unpopular character, or the extremely unusual AU?

The fic that got no comments or kudos when you posted it?

Months or years from now, that fic might be exactly what someone is looking for in the sea of fics about all the popular characters, ships, and AUs.

Your fic might be the only fic out there that has what someone is looking for. The only fic that scratches the itch that it turns out you and that reader share.

And that's awesome.

also fanfic writers write whatever they want to read for themselves first and foremost. they didn’t write to please you, random stranger on the internet.

fanfic writers didn’t force you to read their works. they’re kind enough to let you in their house for free if you want to. if you don’t like how they decorate their own house, quietly leave instead of telling them things you want them to change about their own house to better suit your personal preferences and calling it “constructive criticism”.

if they specifically ask for one, then sure. give them that. but if they didn’t ask and if you don’t have anything nice to say, quietly leave.

this is our hobby. something we do for ourselves as a form of self care. we don’t get paid for it. and personally if I, as a fellow fanfic writer, want constructive criticism and if I want to “get better” at writing, I will ask for honest feedback from people I personally know, whose opinions I trust and value, not random strangers on the internet who, more often than not, just give me lists of things they want me to write for them and their personal likings instead of any actual constructive criticism.

What I see over and over with the "if you don't want people to criticise it don't post it where people can see it" crowd is an obtuse refusal to understand that just because they can post their criticisms, doesn't mean that they should.

Yes you can go up to a random person playing basketball on a public court and tell them you think their form sucks, nobody's gonna arrest you for that unless you escalate to harassing them, but that doesn't mean that everyone there won't think you're an absolute asshole for it.

Leaving unasked for criticism and insisting that people just need to deal with it, simply reveals that you are an Unpleasant Person to Interact With

If people end up avoiding a public space bc they know The Asshole is always there and makes things unpleasant, that's not them being weak, that's you ruining the place for everyone. Fandom is not a job where you sometimes need to put up with rude people, people can and will block you if you can't read the room and keep your criticisms to yourself when nobody asked for them.

I love the randomness of the kudos email. It’s the fic I wrote this week. The one that’s 13 years old. The one that I don’t remember what it’s about or even what fandom it is.

Thanks lovely readers. <3 your taste is mysterious and wonderful.
