Taking The Long Way Around

by Apreedulure

(“I’m sorry boy,” Madara has gasped out, the fire he used to take our Zetsu was the last one he’d ever burn. Madara was choking on his own blood, “if- if you want to go home, then go straight, you’ll—“ he choked on his words as Obito tried to hush the man, to keep him alive, “find a path, we’re not too far away from… from Konoha.”

Life Goes On Nothing We

by tiredperalta

Compassion Fatigue - "an indifference to charitable appeals on behalf of suffering people, experienced as a result of the frequency or number of such appeals."   You used to feel everything in full force. You saw all the terrible things humans are capable of, all the things they can do to each other. You saw people in their darkest, most horrible moments. You'd stand on the precipice of annihilation at the whim of the cosmos and feel grief and fear and anger and know there was nothing you could do to stop it.Now, you don't feel anything at all.
