Also known as "the chapter that took Neko 4 months to write". I think the only thing that's taken longer is ADROS6, which is still in progress. Hopefully I will stop being such a loser and actually sit down to write some more chapters on my 4 chaptered fics, bc I have GWE, ADROS, SoS, and Genesis now to work on. Not to mention all the numerous planned things to do. *Sigh*
Anyway, Genesis Ch3. Another 3 or 4 chapters and I reach the storyline point where I break from canon and it'll be SO much easier to write. Hopefully the next thing I pull up is the next ADROS chapter. It'll be that, prolly then SoS, bc that's outlined out. GWE, I do not want to say is dead, bc I still want to write the story, but it'll need some renewed inspiration. Either way, enjoy the chapter.
Title: Genesis
Chapter: 2
Fandom: Bleach
Characters/Pairings: IchigoxRukia mostly, though others are included.
Rating: T-M. Nothing too graphic really, but it's a darker story at times, with some more mature themes in it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. However, if I
did, this is how the story would have continued had I been given control of it at about chapter 286, excepting the events from TBTP BC those -- being flashbacks -- would technically have been part of the story already. If that makes sense. XD.
Spoiler Warning: Obviously, anything up to Ch. 286, as well as the Turn Back the Pendulum flashback arc. Anything else, from Ch287 onward does not impact this story because it was initially created before any of THAT was created. TBTP is included simply BC it's back story and that's easily allowable.
Summary: Every story has a beginning, just as it has a middle and an end. Lives are lived, wars are fought, loves are found and lost. This is one such story. This is the story of a beginning, but it is also the story of a journey. The story of how one man and one woman found their way through obstacles and hardships to finally stand on the cusp of their own destinies. It is the story of three worlds, and the friction between them. It is a story of change, of hardship. A story of prejudice, loss, and heartache. But above all... it is a story of life. Life, in all it's colours and shapes.
( Is it worth it to keep trying? )
