Everywhere you are, and everywhere you go

Even when you're down, even when you're low

It's in the thought of you, it's in the eyes of all

Astride a storied past, that's everywhere you are

STORIES

Blood of a Village: Definitely not abandoned. Really, I'm just waiting for Naruto to inspire me again.

Psychopomp: Chapter 9: Death Wish approximately 20 percent complete (12/25) Part of what's taking this chapter so long is that I realized I have to reread a lot of the manga. Don't worry, I'm not going to stop writing altogether to do the reread--that's a hurddle too many writers never cross. But it's come to my attention that the first time around, I paid extremely close attention to some plot lines and characters, and not so much to others. To ensure I can mesh everything in this fic as seamlessly as possible (and write everyone's character IN character, whether they're my favorite or I hate their guts), I'm rereading and taking notes. This might make the process a little slower at first, but it also has been giving me great ideas for more/new things to include. So bear with me while I try to increase the awesome!

This story covers an alternate version of events (from Orihime’s kidnapping all the way through the end of the Winter War) in which Aizen uses the ability of event-rejection to it’s utmost, death gods of other pantheons play a key role in the winter war (on both sides), and Tatsuki finally develops the abilities we all know she’s harboring—and puts them to use. This story is Tatsuki-centric (with a secondary focus on Ichigo), and will in the very long run be ultimately about their relationship with each other.

PREVIOUS WORKS

Many, many moons ago, I wrote Berserk fanfics under the pen name "Drachen." These stories can be viewed at www.fanfiction.net/~drachen. I also reviewed under that name until recently.
