Um no, I LOVE YOUR PROMPTS. Especially the second one with the cooking, it has a nice domestic setting but also somehow this sinister, kind of Hannibal Lector-ish vibe (bad though, stop, self...).

What's a Kalliel fic? Well, I immediately thought that it should be something with brevity and an utter lack of sentimentality (--> was very nearly my undoing, am bad at not being cheesy), and should have MINDFUCK. Except I have nfc how to do mindfuck, so initially I had this idea about a short story using the second prompt with a Shyamalan-esque twist like one/both of them are dead or IT WAS ALL A DREAM. Imagine how much more failsauce that would have been. hell yeah you should be concerned. i am your very own creepy stalker :D

M-mountain retreat? H-hobo? LOL, maybe I should have pushed the humorous angle a bit more, those sound so ridiculous when you put it like that XD At the core of the story I was trying to present something like a manipulative three-pronged dynamic starring these losers. It's even color-coded for your convenience! Shisui is black, Itachi is white, and Kabuto is grey. Subtle, innit?

Speaking of dialogue, have you ever noticed how Kabuto and Orochimaru have some of the most hilariously awkward conversations in the anime? There was one about blood types, I kid you not.

FUGAKU ♥♥♥ It's so tempting to demonize him especially in I/S fics, but I have a huge soft spot for the man. I wholly believe he was one of the good guys. Fandom, redeem him! D:

In conclusion, I hope you were able to derive some enjoyment out of this. It isn't a particularly... crowd-pleasing fic, the concept just totally ran away from me halfway through. I did my best, it wasn't much ;____;

Ahaha, really? That's kind of awesome. Whenever I write, I just keep saying to myself LOLOL WHAT IS THIS MELODRAMATIC SAP. It's nice to know that is not the impression the final results give.

I've never seen the anime, but I remember that Kabu/Oro conversation from the manga and I was like LOOOOL WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO. I LOVE IT. XDDD

And Fugaku ♥ ♥ ♥ I love that guy so much. It's nice to know there are kindred spirits afloat~

And again, THANK YOU ANON, for writing this fabulous awesomesauce piece!
