A/N: Oh Random conglomeration. Titles are noted with date, AU, CA (Cannon) or WI (What If). Character names will also be tagged, even if two characters names are tagged, probably NOT a pairing. Individual warnings will be given before chapters as needed, if there is romance, warning will be given there. Yes, all romance needs a warning. ALL OF IT. :|
A lot of these will be guilty pleasure/stress relief bits along with some half formed ideas for bigger story arcs, so if anything strikes you fancy, be sure to let me know. It could turn into something more.
"So, do you have experience in the music industry?"
Sasuke looked at the man across from him. He shouldn't have bothered to get up for this audition. "You know Mangekyou?"
The man nodded. "Of course. After the lead guitarist died the lead singer quit the band and went on to create Sharingan records." One of the most well known record companies in the world, as well as one of the most successful.
"Yeah, Uchiha Madara's my grandfather. Izuna was my great-uncle." Sasuke gave the man a moment to look shocked. Sasuke held up another finger. "You know Conspiracy?"
"Vaguely—they were popular in the 70s. They blew up pretty fast." The man looked worried.
"Right after the lead singer married a roadie and got her pregnant on tour. Those were my parents." Sasuke held up another finger. "Bitter Nakano."
The man nodded more vigorously. "They were huge for about three years. I still sell their records. The tragic ending of the band—with Itachi almost killing Shisui, really gave the band a long life. People still follow Itachi's musical career…"
"Yeah, Itachi was my brother, Shisui my cousin." Sasuke waggled those four fingers. "As you know, Itachi went on to join the ANBU Orchestra briefly before joining Akatsuki." ANBU was still going strong today, and Akatsuki had a religious following.
Sasuke smiled. "Team 7?"
The man shook his head. "No."
"Good, they didn't make it far. How about Hebi?"
"Yes, they had a good occult following up until the band broke up last year."
"I was bassist and lead singer." Sasuke smiled and leaned his chin on his fisted hand. The man's rather stunned expression made getting up early for this stupid interview worth it. "So, yes, I have some experience in the music industry."
