On AO3 – Work Progress behind the scenes

With no prompt for the ko-fis, and an already long-standing plan to gift @squidhelp something for the invaluable support through the end of Bad Blue (really, the emotional depth wouldn’t have been as fine-tuned, and ch40 wouldn’t have turned out the way I simply love it did) I happily went a bit overboard based on a comment on ch35 of Bad Blue

“Side note but I was thinking more about Tobirama’s reaction and I remembered something that I had heard on TvTropes I think, that in Japan a lot of older marriage proposals were indirect. So I double checked and while the ones I found were not exactly the same (one was “Will you make miso soup for me everyday?” and another was “Would you like to share the same grave with me?” ) the tone was kind of similar and I don’t think that that’s what you were going for. But I felt that I mention that cause the image of that blew my mind and would put his reaction in a whole different context. And I mean, the founding period would definitely be somewhere in Japan’s past timeline wise in some sense or another so older proposals could be current proposals methods.“

…can’t we all make the gist of that into a fandom trope, pls? Because it’s adorable 😀 (and such an opening for misunderstanding x’D)

I still find the idea of Madara as the Dragonborn utterly hilarious. And I still need to write it.

How’s this for a start?

After the initial introduction, Madara found that Skyrim wasn’t so bad. Sure, the Imperial presence was a bit much, the Thalmor were even more infuriating than usual, the land was cold and inhospitable, not to mention that he nearly suffered execution and being eaten by a dragon in the same day – his very first day in the country. It was still better than home.

Then there was the elf. What kind of elf Tobirama was, Madara hadn’t yet ascertained. He lacked the golden hue of the Altmer, and the dark skin of the Dunmer. Logically, that left only the Bosmer, but…

He fell in with the elf after Helgen, and sometimes, it felt a little like babysitting. The damned elf seemed to get into <i>everything</i>. Sometimes, it was entertaining. Other times, it led them into an abandoned mine full of bandits. And for all Tobirama could be insanely <i>quiet</i>, he wasn’t much for sneaking.

Yea, Madara hate when someone is behind him.
But I love to think that he would try his best to accept Tobirama. And the fact that he can sit behind his back is the ultimate proof of his pure affection toward Toblerone.
And on the other side, Tobirama is known as a man with short temper but at the same time, he’s the only one who have patience for Madara’s hair when it comes to brushing them.
Well… It’s probably because their reminds him of his fur on the armour.
And generally it reminds him of fluffy animals fur.
