Imagine my surprise when I found fanart for Apotheosis in my y!Gal!  It's a pic of Ichigo saying goodbye in Chapter 5, and I think the artist has done a very good job of showing his feelings in that scene.

It's been well over a year since I finished posting Apotheosis, actually a year and a half since Ch 5 was posted. How thrilled am I that people ( Read more... )

Happy (early) 1st anniversary, Apotheosis!

Mm yes, I know it's a week or so early, but I just couldn't wait any longer (you should see me with birthday and Christmas gifts, it's terrible!). Plus there's another reason, but I'll get into that in the next post. *grin*

I thought it was weird when a year had passed since Nexus. Hah! That's nothing ( Read more... )

Apotheosis

Fanfic

How strange does it feel to be making an Apotheosis update so many months later when I am working (yes, very hard!) on the next story in the series? But I am, because I've just been given the most wonderful birthday gift. Paï has written fanfic for Apotheosis. I'm stunned, and thrilled, and incredibly honoured that she put such ( Read more... )

For the final chapter, we have spectacular artwork.  I have to give a little background on this pic, because it's so special to me.  You see, I've always had a bit of frustration about having images in my head and not the artistic skill to get them out.  Sure, I can write the scene out (and I did!), but as far as producing an actual picture?  ( Read more... )

I wanted to share some of the background stuff for the story, as part of my Christmas gift to you all. :)  This isn't the extent of my notes, by any stretch (I've got about 3 chapters worth of notes alone, haha!), but it's a peek inside the creative process, and some information about the story that people have been asking for.

Apotheosis

Chapter 18 - Metamorphosis

In the morning, Ichigo was up early and ready to go. He slung his knapsack with the last of his possessions over his shoulder and left without a backward glance. Renji followed silently, nursing a hangover but still smiling beneath the dark sunglasses shading his vision.

They stopped at the Kurosaki home ( Read more... )

    "What?" Ichigo stepped back as his normally mild-mannered sister exploded. He and Renji had arranged three extra days away from Soul Society right before their next weekend off to put Ichigo's affairs in the living world in order before he began his new life. The first thing on Ichigo's list of things to do was to tell his family.

    "Ichigo!" Isshin looked up from his dinner with a wide smile as Karin and Yuzu tackled their brother. "We thought that was you. Sit, eat, Yuzu made plenty."

"Ichi-nii!" his sisters chorused. Ichigo bent - not as far as he once had to - to embrace them.

"What are you doing home?" Karin demanded.

"Are you back to stay?" Yuzu asked ( Read more... )

Chapter 15 - Determination

Renji fully intended to rise early and attend to the plan he'd made the night before, but something else came up when he awoke. Two something elses, to be precise. It'd be a shame not t' take advantage a' the extra time this mornin'. He sat up and stretched lazily before running a hand down his sleeping lover's neck.
