Yeaah, first request!! Did great with that one 🙏 If you couldn't tell, I'm the same anon who requested that one 😬 But I thought the hcs were very cool!
And while yeah, back so soon, I'd love to ask for another request if possible! With no pressure at all, ofc
I'd rlly like to see hcs with the scenario of the main ninja having a reunion with the reader post-merge (preferably platonic, I'm a sucker for endearing friendly bonds) But hey, feel free to have fun with all the little tidbits of when and/or how they reunite for each ninja as you please! I see this kind of scenario to have a lot of different approaches you could take, but it's all up to you
Thank you very much, and have fun writing :)
