The lights of Konoha are coming on in the dusk, like stars against the shadows, and Tobirama pauses, standing atop his brother's carved stone face as he looks over the village.

Kakashi was born with a counter just like everyone else. But his was different. His was broken.

Kakashi broke things off with the love of his life yesterday. So of course today he gets sick. The universe is obviously out to get him. Minato lives AU.
