Things To Do In The Elemental Nations When You're Dead by JumpingJackFlash

Summary
Itachi's first glance tells him Kisame is genuinely relaxed, lounging at the low table with a nail clipper and a bottle of umeshu, so he can take his time studying the other person in the room: a skinny red-haired boy sprawled starfish-like on a futon, covers shoved aside and pillow soaked in drool, wearing nothing but — “Is that my underwear?”
“Well, mine would be too big,” Kisame says reasonably. “No need to whisper, he’s dead to the world.”
“Mine should be too big as well.” He’s fourteen, not… whatever this boy is, eight or nine.
“Safety pins.”
“Why do you have my underwear? What happened to his?” It’s a silly thing to get stuck on, but he can’t seem to let it go. His relationship with Kisame is not one that admits to underwear. There’s a professional distance. This is outside his comfort zone.

Summary
Viktor leans over the side, hardly caring whether he capsizes. Kivi are strong against cold water anyway. There’s a boiling of white bubbles in the depths and he has to see. There’s a figure in that roil, black and billowing around a pale oval that might be a face or an egg or a skull. The pressure of its presence — it is sorrowing rage, a despair like numbness around a knife.
It’s not the Death of his people, the Elk Bone God, the antlered Witness who only watches and waits so you’re not alone at the end. This is a Death that wants, and was denied, and is furious about it.
“Mirya, what have you called?” he whispers.

Summary
Summoning, Lucius reflected, has never been taught at Hogwarts, not because it’s Dark, but because it’s almost always a really terrible idea.

Summary
Alternate titles: Hell of Screaming Horses, In Our Defense We Were Left Unsupervised
RP log between melukilan and jumpingjackflash, involving jack's character Casimir Kivi (from Things To Do In The Elemental Nations When You're Dead) and the cast and world of MDZS/The Untamed. JGS eventually gets tossed into a volcano by a polar bear, that probably gives you an idea of the plot/crack ratio.
