The Event
What is the event?
The event is an Itachi/Sasuke ship inspired prompt week with a winter theme.
Do I have to sign up somewhere?
No. You can create works and post works at your will.
Is this a low stress event?
Yes. No pressure. Just posting Itachi/Sasuke content for everyone to enjoy.
How did the event start?
The members on the ItaSasu Discord server decided on the dates and put together a list of prompts. Prompts were randomly chosen and their dates. Originally, the idea of the week was to have dark content (as is Itachi and Sasuke’s penchant), but we branched out to fluffier and less dark ideas.

Do I have to be on the ItaSasu Discord server to join the event?
You do not have to be on the server. Anyone who isn’t using Discord can join in on the event and fill out the prompts. Participate in the way you want to participate.
I have a question that isn’t answered here!
Feel free to send an ask to this account or join our ItaSasu Discord server for questions you need answered for the event. In #events on the server you can discuss your work or ask questions.
Content
What types of media are allowed?
Anything you want to create is allowed. Fic, art, comics, icons, edits, moonboards, manips, headcanons, physical crafts, media, video, audio, etc.
What does “winter” mean in the context on this event?
Winter can mean anything from playing in the snow to braving the blustering winter winds. It can mean something fluffy and sweet with the characters coming closer together. It can be something bleak but empty. The winter can be a ruthless, harsh time of the year, and it naturally lends itself to dark or bleak moods or surroundings. Itachi and Sasuke have a relationship which hits these seasonal changes, so you can hit whichever side of it you want to tackle.
Do I have to use the winter theme in my work?
It isn’t mandatory to use a winter theme as a central focus alongside your prompt. But in the same vein as the theme, you can make your work completely winter-themed with the listed prompts so it does take place during the winter season, or you can give your work nods to a winter theme in spirit. We are flexible on how this is done and how you want to handle your prompts.
Are OCs allowed?
Yes. Put your OCs in your work in any way you want.
Are polyamory/threesome ships allowed?
Ships that have more characters involved with the Itachi/Sasuke relationship are allowed. Even with other characters involved in the relationship, Itachi/Sasuke ship content must be featured somewhere in the relationship dynamic.
Can there be background ships?
Yes, but Itachi/Sasuke ship content must have a role in your work.
Besides Naruto, can I include works with Boruto, AUs, or crossovers?
Yes, you can include them in your works, or other fandoms.
What will not be tolerated?
Hateful, offensive, or inflammatory content aimed towards other participants or the subject of the event. As long as content doesn’t bash or insult other participants for the content of their work (e.g. ships, characters, choice of tropes) and stays relevant to the atmosphere of the week, you can create for it.
Prompts
How many prompts do I have to use a day?
At least one prompt. Picking one prompt for each set of prompts is fine for your fanwork. You can combine prompts on each line or do them separately.
Can I do more than one work per day?
Yes, of course you can!
Can I mix the types of content I want to create?
Mixing media types for separate prompts, or for the same prompt, is fine. You can write a fic for one prompt and create art for another prompt.
What does Light and Dark mean on the prompt list?
In order to create the prompts, we decided to add three categories.
Light, the first set of prompts, is for prompts that have the potential to be sweeter or aren’t as dark adjacent. Like fluffy snow.
Dark, the third set of prompts, is for darker types of content or prompts which might lead to violent or NSFW content. Like long darkness and harsh coldness.
These are not hard and fast rules. Just the founding reason we created these categories of prompts. Interpret any prompt the way you want to interpret it.
Is NSFW or trigger content allowed?
Absolutely! Do what you want with NSFW tropes, kinks, or triggering content. We do not have specific content restrictions or ratings for what you can create, so any type of ratings is fine to create.
Should I tag my work for sensitive content?
We ask you to tag your work appropriately for content like violence or sexual themes across the platform you post your works on. Warnings for triggers and NSFW count. Redirect to other sites for NSFW content that can’t be posted on Tumblr, give warnings in tweets, or put cuts on content that might need a cut, etc. The ItaSasu Discord server has NSFW channels for NSFW content.
Does my work have to be new for the event?
Ideally, your work should be a new work for the event so your work can properly focus on the prompts we have provided here. All content should stand as a full work for the event and does not need other works for the content to make sense. However, if you want to draw inspiration from another work, you can use WIPs you haven’t posted yet or separate the entry into a unique and standalone work.
What can I create for the free day option for Day 7?
You can use any trope, kink, or idea you have in mind that otherwise appeals to you. This day is helpful if you aren’t interested in the other prompts on the list.
Posting
Where can I post my work?
Anywhere you want! Tumblr, X/Twitter, AO3, Fanfiction.net, Dreamwidth, etc. You can add your works to our ItaSasu Winter Week 2025 AO3 subcollection.
Can I submit my work to the Tumblr blog?
You can submit your work on the blog. You may send a message to us after a day if we don’t post your work and make sure we received it, but we will do our best to post your submission as soon as we can. Submissions might close after the prompt week is finished and you won’t be able to submit anymore, so you’ll have to post them without submitting them if that happens.
How can I make it easier to share my work?
Tumblr: Long posts can go behind cuts so it’s easier to share it. Put event tags in the first five tags. Submissions with NSFW content in the post may not be possible to post on the event blog since Tumblr doesn’t allow posting NSFW content, so please host that elsewhere and share a link to that content.
X/Twitter: Put warnings of important content in the first tweet of your thread, or at least somewhere that can be found easily if you post it in another tweet.
General: You should have content tags in place that can be seen. Include links to your works or tags. Art can have crops if you want to exclude NSFW in an image, and fics can have descriptive information like a summary or notes.
Where can I tag the event so my work will be retweeted/reblogged?
Tumblr: @ itasasubirthday
X/Twitter: @ itasasubirthday
Post on the ItaSasu Discord server in #events or separate NSFW channels.
X/Twitter, Tumblr, elsewhere: #ItaSasuWinterWeek or #ItaSasuWinterWeek2025
You can tag the prompt day such as #ItaSasuWinterWeekDay1
Can I post early?
Please don’t post your works too early. Start posting works at whatever time is February 19th in your timezone. Or another timezone. Close enough.
Can I post my work late?
Late submissions are perfectly acceptable and encouraged even if you do them months after the event. We will still happily reblog/retweet your work as long as we see it after the event. We may see your works in the tags for the event at some point, but the best way for us to see your late work is to tag us directly.
“Do not touch me.”
Sasuke hissed at the painful grip around his wrist. “Nii-san, I’m trying to help.”
If anything, the grip only seemed to get tighter. Itachi gritted his teeth. ”Do not…touch me.”
