Etch

Words: 4k | M | tw:– | Ongoing

A Kakashi character study, in which the words others say about you become etched into your skin. "Sensei. The word appears one morning and his heart jumps to his throat. It's a girl's writing, naïve and sweet, perfect strokes meticulously mastered, imprinted onto the back of his left hand." Part I is Kakashi-centric; Parts II and III are Kakasaku. Threeshot

Etch by Ephieshine

The first chapter is gen Kakashi, the second is post-war KakaSaku, but I recommend at the least the first chapter, even if you don’t like the pairing, as it’s not even brought up until the second.

Besides being the words-on-skin thing, this story is lyrical and pretty with a gorgeously simple style that shows instead of telling; very slick in its pacing with beautiful imagery. Relatively short read, but dense and deep.

The words shift over time, and the problem with being a celebrity is, of course, that everyone wants to talk about you. There’s an interesting mix of things said about you and things said to you, and it works really well

Genius, he gets called. Prodigy finds its place on his shoulder, right beside a snide stuck-up. That's the last one he finds on his body before his father fails the mission and kills himself.

Bastard. Orphan. Son of a traitor. Nastier, cruder words, some of which he doesn't even understand; big ugly block letters that grow with every iteration. Sometimes he hears them shouted, just outside the estate, and watches in disgust as the words stretch out across his ribs, seeking more real estate, and he's helpless to stop them.

@justm3h, @wizardmafianinjapirate @biscuithead20 who expressed interest; sorry it took so long

Thank you so much! I would never have found it on my own; I was searching on all the wrong terms.

re: immortality and anime. well you could watch kishimoto die JUST LIKE HE KILLED MY NEJI so i mean that's a plus

ok so far in our consideration of immortality:

cons: time perception is fucked, no anime or the anime will be shit bc you’ll barely register it, will most likely lead to a really depressing and lonely existence

pros: watching kishimoto atone for his sins

the pros are very compelling actually
