Summary
A future for Itachi to claim where he exists alongside his brother, alive, is one he would never have envisioned. Rather than persisting as a haunting apparition in Sasuke’s life, he has to maneuver through this newly established peace and his presence within it. Control slips from hands that were once so steady and sure of everything.
Still, he does his best to maintain it, this attempt at normalcy. For Sasuke’s sake. His little brother is a mess without him, while Itachi grows addicted to his dependency, his never-ending forgiveness for his crimes.
Their lives entwine in a carefully built shelter. Isolated from the world, their past nonetheless keeps a tight grip on them. When Itachi grows aware of the wishes Sasuke holds in his heart, of restoring their once prestigious clan, while Sasuke has the perfect body to fulfill this dream, who is he to deny him? Whether that requires applying force to tear down Sasuke's stubbornness is hardly a bother, much more a certainty.
The violent consequences will be Itachi’s to bear, as they always are.
