PW, "The Slow Ascent after the Sharpest Drop: VI," Apollo/Klavier, PG-13
I don't have much to say about this chapter beyond my usual whining that it was like pulling teeth to write. Except, it was weird: it felt like pulling teeth, but then when I checked the word-count, I'd gone over 2k, which is what I generally shoot for with each section, so ... maybe it wasn't so bad? Maybe I'm just whiny. This is a very real

I like that we're finally learning the reason between the odd tension between Phoenix and Klavier.

Hee, the tension between Klavier and Phoenix ... there shall be more on that in the next (?) chapter, probably. Definitely more somewhere in the later sections, anyway. XD
Thanks for reading!

Klavier did his job well, though I don't think he liked it.
Kristoph had confessed to killing Shadi Smith but I don't know his status, he was in jail when you talk to him during the last case but I'm not sure if he'd been convicted yet.

So Klavier was prosecuting and Apollo was defending and the truth somehow comes out that, not only did Kristoph murder Shadi Smith, he also forged evidence?

Keep it up! <3

I'm also thrilled that you're enjoying the arc. I kinda feel bad for abusing the characters like this except not really but it does make for a complex story, right? :}
I'll try to have the next section up today, dear! Thank you so much for letting me know you're reading this! ♥

I seriously can't wait for more!
By the way, if you haven't played the game, you could read all about the cases here: http://www.court-records.net/cases.htm (although I guess it's a bit lengthy)

I'm so glad you're enjoying the story, dear. There will indeed be more, and soon!

Actually, I just finished reading a book that was NOT linear, and it was amazing. Left me wishing I could write like that ... ;_;
Anyway! Yes, Apollo's been badly burned, I think this chapter's the one that explained as much about the circumstances as we yet know from the arc. As for his blindness ... yes, he's permanently blind. There's a chapter where he's learning to read Braille. He'll never regain his sight.
*shoos you* Go read the whole arc! I worked hard on it! XD *snugs*

Okay, the first half, with Trucy? Wonderful. I continue to love Apollo's notice of all the things around him with all of his senses. The part about the motorcycle is priceless, I can so see both Apollo's and Mr. Wright's outraged looks. *grin*
And then, Apollo is just trying to get some degree of normalcy back, wanting physical affection from his lover. And Klavier almost gets into it, until Apollo starts bleeding. *shakes head* Poor Apollo.
And the argument is so great, and full of tension. Really. Klavier's almost slip of saying how Apollo should be less observant now that he's blind, and Apollo trying to talk but not knowing what to say or not say. It's great. And then, they kind of resolve it, but not really... because Klavier takes pains the next day to continue trying to keep secrets from Apollo by showering right after arriving home. *sigh* Klavier's going to give Apollo a complex, or they're going to have a huge argument over trusting one another. *double sigh ( ... )

How do you do this to me?
Mmm, you make the original muses sing, too. The things you pick up on inspire me to work on Jovial and Toby, to work the stuff in that you liked. :D It's quite a delicious cycle. And oh, the bit about learning to feed himself? Hadn't bloody occurred to me here, but with Al and Toby, man that'll be interesting to work with! My grandfather, blind, hated eating out because he was embarrassed that he didn't do it neatly. I should've remembered that here, but I will certainly remember it in the original arc. Thank you!
*cuddles you up* You do such good things for meeeee~! ♥
