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.

But Shikamaru was named as a reminder: what is gone can come back.
Deer circle.
Legacies cling to him.(Written as part of a series. What comes next will be Part 3 of Deer and Crow)

Summary
Cooking with Cassandra is like cooking with a ghost.
It’s taken getting used to. His experience with children has made him very gifted at listening to them talk about the many things they’re passionate about, at asking the right questions to get their eyes to light up as they share their thoughts on the books they’re reading or the projects they’re working on.
It has not prepared him for the tiny, silent presence that now likes to lurk in the cabinets under the counter while he works.
