“A union of the sun and moon would break the heavens, but you sit before me in defiance of the gods,” Madara spoke up into the sunlit stillness. The air in the room seemed to vibrate. It sounded like an accusation, but Tobirama’s hackles couldn’t raise much further. It sounded like an opening to a recitation.
...
“The sun chases you, and I intend to follow.”

There’s so many blessed eyes fics I love! And a lot of them connect it with the Uchiha’s worship of Amaterasu (goddess of the sun?) so I made little sun designs for Tobi’s irises here, and a bunch of sun-inspired tattoos!
Tattoo placement and design was inspired by art from the amazing artist @maphel-n-doodles ❤️❤️❤️ and the one on the shoulder inspired by a design of Amaterasu’s crown I saw (can’t find the reference now QAQ)
Can you spot the shrimpy? I’m obsessed with @taiyoooh’s art and her amazing shrimp sharingan XD

I’m still working on the background for tomorrow’s Reincarnation // Mistaken Identity (my favorite one to work on so far!!) so it might be late.. ( •́ ‸ •̀; )
Check out everyone’s super cool art and delicious fic on -> @madatobiweek !
Altoid tin diorama of MadaTobi at a teashop! Made with various sized wooden stirring sticks, paper, beads, and two 150th scale figures that I painted. (And, in Madara's case, hand glued every single strand of hair...) All in an average sized altoid tin.
Bonus size comparison, because MadaTobi are just so teeny tiny...

Tobirama is a con artist who performs as a magician and simply uses science to create his illusions, psychology to bullshit his way through his fortune-telling sessions, and chemistry to brew potions in eye-catching colors.
Because ever since the car accident that cost Tobirama’s parents and Kawarama’s life when he and Hashirama had only been teenagers, they both had to take on all kinds of jobs to keep them afloat and give their youngest brother, Itama, the best possible life.
And Tobirama is not above scamming people if it means it brings food into their kitchen.
Enter Madara, a fire-natured witch of the Uchiha Coven, as well as the greatest mirage artisan to ever have lived. He’s on the search for his younger brother, Izuna, who disappeared about a month ago without a trace, which is how he encounters Tobirama in the town of Konoha—whose trickery is so convincing that he believes Tobirama must be a real seer.
Desperate to find Izuna, Madara offers Tobirama a fortune to help him, even if it irks him to ask a seer of the Senju Coven. His father never had a good word for the Senju witches, and Madara can’t quite shake off the distrust of an old blood feud. But he remembers Hashirama from his childhood who was a trustworthy person, despite being unaware of the mighty earth nature inside of him, and that’s enough for him.
Tobirama hesitates to accept Madara’s money, as his request seems severe and dire, but gives in in the end. They could really use that money, and it’s hardly his fault that Madara is delusional enough to spend this much money on a trick fortune teller instead of an actual investigator. Might as well use this chance to figure out if he has what it takes to become a detective, no?
Which is how they end up on a trip through the Elemental Nations during which Tobirama bullshits his seer abilities while he uses his smarts to find traces of Izuna’s whereabouts, followed by a comedy of errors as Madara and Tobirama both have the wrong image of the other, yet manage to slowly fall in love with the other.
It all comes to a climax when Madara realizes that Tobirama is no real witch, and Tobirama gets his world turned upside down upon finding out that magic actually exists. And oh, fuck. He just scammed a real witch!
I have no plans to ever write this fic, so if you feel inspired, please go ahead. You may run with this idea as you please, with proper credit of course.

It was the THIRD time Madara was called to "banish" (relocate) the same damned ningyo. Did that little fishing villager really need to call upon an onmyoji? He was certain the children the ningyo was found with were the same ones from the previous relocations. They thought they were being sooo clever, but Madara could see the cart tracks they made while dragging the slimy thing far from the sea.
