Title: Diem Ex Dei [Part 1]
Genre: General, Tragedy, Romance (?)
Characters: Pein (Nagato), Yahiko, Konan, Madara (Pein/Konan)
Rating: PG-13 (T)
Warnings: Violence/tragedy. Um, maybe very very vague sexuality.
Summary: [. . . ] but Konan knows, and Nagato knows, that this is life, and life is pain, and life will always be pain, and there is no point in believing it can ever be otherwise. The most they can achieve is to temper their misery. And they do. They tolerate it, wear it as only those whose lives have been defined by loss can: with silence, with resignation, without complaints. And so it would have been for the remainder of their days, had Uchiha Madara not come to them during the course of the next evening.

(Nagato wants nothing more than to bring about the end of war, to live up to the ideals of the friend he could not save, and to fulfill the destiny of the rinnegan. The road to hell, as they say, is paved with the very best intentions.)
