Summary
“It won’t work,” Tobirama replies, too quick, too soon, before having all his thoughts processed. Hashirama waits for him to explain himself. “It won’t unless it’s someone high profile among us. Otherwise there’s no guarantee either way.”
Hashirama nods, and now that Tobirama pays attention, his brother looks ashamed.
“Oh, you meant to offer me,” Tobirama concludes, “me or Touka. But I doubt Touka would do well inside an arrangement like this, so it falls to me.”

Summary
“Come on, Senju,” he said, grin sharp, voice carrying across the suddenly breathless crowd. “Let’s give them a show.”
Half the audience gasped.
Tobirama jerked out of Madara’s grip. “You are not helping.”
Madara blinked, almost offended. “I’m trying to be encouraging.”
“Encourage me from over there,” Tobirama snapped, pointing to a spot roughly three meters away.

Summary
Tobirama couldn’t believe this.
The manifestation of his soul, the sum of his inner desires, shamelessly cuddling up to Madara at night without his knowledge?Scandalous. Bad, bad soul. They were nothing more than ex-enemies and strangers to each other. Madara was going to hunt him down for the audacity any day now.
(Elsewhere, Madara yawned. “Hn? Oh. Little cat.” He shuffled around in his futon and gestured for the snow leopard to come closer. “Well, settle in then. Futon’s warm.”)
Au where people’s souls manifest as shadow animals and Tobirama’s soul is a menace

Summary
Madara paused for half a breath. “We’ve got a lot of scenes together this season.”
“More than usual,” Tobirama admitted. It came out like a confession and a warning.
The host gasped. “Oh my god. Oh my god. I knew it. People are going to freak. I saw the leaked still from episode two? Where Raiden is holding Taira’s arm?”
Tobirama blinked, expression flat. “He was helping me off the ground. I’d been stabbed.”
“Yes,” she said, eyes gleaming. “It was so tender.”

Summary
A series of drabbles inspired by a wonderful tumblr discussion thread called Tobirama-is-a-cat: discuss.
Otherwise known as: how long will it take for "the favorite humans" (particularly a certain brother with a bowl cut) to realize that Tobirama is a cat in the disguise of a human.
(Hint: Not for a long time.)
