Summary
Being reborn with her memories intact was pretty great. Being reborn into a world plagued by war was a little less great.
Being reborn literally decades before canon events fucking sucked.
Senju Tsunade wants what she was previously denied: a long, peaceful life, a family that loves her and a job that brings her purpose. Instead she gets life as a career killer, a family destined to die before she reaches adulthood and no job prospects that wouldn't include murder.
Awesome.
This story was tailored to create a believable romance for Orochimaru that neither redeems him nor portrays him as a toxic, possessive, obsessive monster. The first part of the story will focus on Tsunade to show how she becomes the sort of person that could have a relatively healthy relationship with someone like him.
The fic is COMPLETE.
UPDATE July 2025: I'm working on a podfic! You can find it here

Summary
“You’re joking.”
“I assure you, I am not.”
“Orochimaru, I adore you, but this is a seduction mission. You’re here as my guard, not my replacement.”
“The mission scroll never specified which one of us is tasked with extracting the information.”
“Orochimaru.”
“If you have no better arguments than those you’ve already articulated, please return to your post.”
“Well excuse me if the sight of you in my kimono is distracting!”(or: Orochimaru wears Tsunade's kimono. Her head almost explodes.)

Summary
Tsunade has absolutely no issue flaunting her relationship with Orochimaru. Everyone who doesn't like it can go suck on a lemon (or, better, go fuck themselves).
Orochimaru has no such privilege... or does he?The story takes place after the end of TTAGoM - both characters are in their 20s.
