A water lily will not drown. No matter how fragile her leaves, how pallid her petals, how cloudy her pond. A water lily will not drown. Even when she drifts into black untamed sea. Sasuke/Hinata. Slow burn. Post-war AU.

Hinata unintentionally learns a frighteningly forbidden Hyuuga Clan technique. Only a few dared to learn it aeons ago. None of them survived the consequences. And neither would she… at least that's what Hinata thought, until her and Sasuke cross paths.
