Given my track record with WIPs, this is probably like shooting myself in the face :\ It's been a ridiculously long week, though, and I still can't stop coughing every two minutes, so whatever, I'm clearly not in my right mind.

I'M INTERESTED, TELL ME MORE

Write what you want to write when you want to write it; I'm not complaining, since last time we got the best AU ever out of it *_* I nearly developed a messy heart condition when I felt that this could be Shisui/Hana, but you would never forsake the OTP like that, would you? Would you?

This was probably mentioned and I missed it in my delirium, but how old are they?

I love love love that scene with Itachi and Shisui and the scrolls everywhere, so childlike and lovely--and such a contrast to how suspenseful the rest is <3

THAT'S RIGHT, I SHIP "SHANA" NOW. Apparently she really is the only girl in their age group... Plus, she's pretty, and an Inuzuka, I was weak.

(The real reason I slipped it in there is to lure in the Crazed Fanboys set. Once they're hooked, I will hit them with a most potent ki blast of cousincest. It'll be revenge for all those inane comments I've received over the years.)

...three people have asked that now. I was hoping that by ~glossing it over~ I can avoid the inevitable accusations of THIS IS SO UNREALISTIC. Technically this should take place in the last days of the Third Shinobi War, but I'm muddling several different events together for the sake of the "plot", so let's say... Shisui is 8 (going on 9?) and Itachi is 6. I'd add three years each to their emotional maturity, but yeah, still really young.

If Kishimoto can play fast and loose with his own characters and continuity, so can I >:{

If you ship the hair product, SHANA(TM), you need to then ship Shisui/Rin as well, because apparently these two are linked. Also, Shisui/Sakura. Fun for the whole family.

Maybe the Crazed Fanboys' feeling will be assuaged if Hana then engages in a bout of femmeslash to um, recover from being rebuffed in favor of Shisui's baby cousin (seriously, if a guy ever did this IRL...)

I like fics about teenytachi and Shisui! The good ones are few and far between, but little Itachi has been a fixation of mine since day one.

Dahling, you invented Shisui. Kishi? Kishi who? They are all your PAWNS.

[ronsard]

If you really must ship Shisui with someone in Rin's age range (Kakashi? :D), you might as well go for the infinitely more awesome Shisui/Anko ship that we discussed once upon a time. And Shisui/Sakura could be done. It could so be done, and would still be way less wrong than, say, Shisui/Sasuke >_>

Me too. I feel pressured to get him right this time around, since the last time I wrote kid!Itachi, he ended up being a Creepy Child. Goes well with manic-depressive!Shisui, don't you think?

Also, just imagine, an entire fic in which he runs around with this godawful haircut here XD

Of course, if you ship SasuSaku at all, you could always throw the Shi/Sakura in with your...ShiSasu...god, what. Should I be worried, Mai?

I can't actually decide if they should have turned out serious creepers, TBOPIOC style, or normal, happy kids. In this story I guess you have a lot of free rein, since the war is going on presently and can't really function as a formative influence until after the story is over.

The anime is so bipolar on if he's a Creepy Child or not. We have HIDE AND SEEK playing Itachi of your icon, and scary kunai boyof Orochimaru's...daydreams. WHICH ONE IS IT, STORYBOARDERS? Honestly.

[ronsard]

SasuSaku blergh. I'll take any combination of Team 7 (sans Kakashi) up to and including OT3 before I take that. ShiSasu only works in the context of ItaShi and fucked-up-ness, anyway. And yes, you should always be concerned. I want all of your attention on me >[

I'm tempted to think that entire story with young Itachi was just Orochimaru's fevered pedophilia manifesting itself, because in the selfsame dream we get a scene of Itachi standing in front of a mirror with Kisame behind him(???). Plus his high-necked sleeveless shirt is so offensive to the retina that I just want to erase the memory forever. The anime is stupid anyway. Even the hide and seek story makes no chronological sense.
