[fic] The Great Pantomime

[ronsard]

I was trying to figure out what Shisui could have been doing for Madara in The Burning of Paper Instead of Children. Anyway, this story isn’t it, but it was way more fun to write. It should either make you laugh or creep you out - if it does both, I'd be very chuffed.

Title: The Great Pantomime
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Madara/Shisui
Summary: A

I still don't know why you like that characterization

Quite simply, because it jibes best with what we know in canon. And because he seemed more like an older brother figure in that, someone to admire and emulate and obsess over in both healthy and unhealthy ways for Itachi. That characterization hits the idea of the apex above the apex, which was the thing that really sold me on the Shisui/Itachi pairing--a genius like Itachi, especially, would have wanted to see one person in his life who was just unconditionally better than him, and beyond his understanding. This was really only true in that fic before he became the manic-depressive we all know and love, though.

/blah blah rant rant

Plot is for those who lack fabulousness, obviously. And it's nice of you to assume that Mei-fic has plot, when it is really just me blatantly making up nonsense and griping about my issues with kunoichi.

That peace sign picture is Tobi Madara CLEARLY. By the way, does your hatred of Maddie influence the amount of Tobi that should or should not go into this impossible ItaDei fic?

I'm trying to branch out with Shisui's characterizations, as I realize I'm starting to become complacent with his character (and therefore more ridiculous). I haven't finished my exchange piece, but I think the Shisui in that fic is my favorite yet. (Well, no, my favorite is 8YO Shisui from Hallowed Ground, damn Kishi for jossing my fic...)

AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE PLZ. He can run roughshod all over the fic -- and by extension, Itachi and Deidara -- just as long as it's funny. In a horrible way. But that's a given with the dude.

KAME'S HAIR LOOKS SO DISGUSTING WITHOUT PRODUCT. You guys are crazy, I just do not see the appeal.

Omg I love you guys <3

No time to read right now, but just wanted to say \o/ MAI IS WRITING MADARA AGAIN. No more shooting in the neck. We can call that progress, right?

Don't talk until you've at least glanced at the travesty above. It's the romantic comedy feel-good hit of the summer. Seriously. Not lying.
