Hello and welcome to my self-indulgent AU!
AU where basically Itachi and Sasuke had their fight, Sasuke still found out about all the shit with the Uchiha that Itachi didn’t want him to know, but Itachi is revived/healed up after that happened in this (Orochimaru had his hand in it, labelling what happens as the Lazarus Experiment). In the healing he also gets his eyes replaced since [REDACTED] replaced Sasuke’s with his for the lore bits. Itachi was found after all that shit goes down without [REDACTED] knowing.
So during the war he still helps (just not as one of the beings of the Edo Tensei) and things still go down with the brothers working together to stop Kabuto and everything. The war finishes up like it does, there is a lot of political BS that they still have to go through, but it gets out amongst the Leaf Village what was basically happening to the Uchiha and why the things that were done were done. Which leads Itachi having to go through extensive therapy physically and mentally before being officially reintroduced back into the system.
Amari is the therapist he is assigned to for his specific brand of therapy, her special ability being emotional transmission/transference. He has a lot of memories and emotions to unpack, and her abilities allow her not only let her patients have someone who can feel what they are going through, but be able to express and transmit positive emotions back to them to help process and not feel as overwhelmed after each session.
Itachi sees her twice a week for almost a year before being cleared from his mandatory sessions and starting to go on missions again. They however become close after these sessions, making visits to a local tea house their weekly meet up to chat and enjoy each other's company before they start dating.
I am more than happy to answer any questions on this AU to those interested, and will post drabbles and art related to it from time to time :)
