Summary
Sasuke sat in rain, the clouds rumbled loudly overhead with lightning flashing in the distance. “You’re showing me an alternate lifetime.”
Yes.
“Why?”
Amaterasu lifted its head, made of black fire. It sighing loud and hot like tectonic plates moving, lava-spewing as the planet groaned. It said with a crackle of thunder: The lands tore themselves apart. Corpses rose and fought against the living. A man’s madness led to the destruction of the world, and the moon turned red in eternal sleep.
Amaterasu said as the flames lashed against its severed front limb. I can show you the end of the world.Look up, Amaterasu said, see the Eternal Tsukuyomi.
Sasuke gazed up at the moon, red with a perverse eye of constant spirals. He asked, with a fractured voice and shaking lungs, “what is that?”
The end of all things said the single purple eye. The reason I am here.Series

Summary
Itachi is a shinobi. He lives, he serves, he fights, and he obeys. It is not a life he wants - not a light burden, or one that can be tossed aside as the heir to his clan. He is a pawn. A tool. To be human is a callously hopeful dream he cannot bear to consider while his family wades through a self-crafted political quagmire.
He is drowning. He is flying. Itachi wraps bruised knuckles and tries not to feel like a crow with broken wings. Sasuke deserves better. Shisui is steadily absent more often, and the elders are starting to claw their way to a coup. Itachi is backed into a corner with no way out.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru has traveled back through time and is quietly dismantling the Akatsuki for funsies, but this story isn’t about him.
