Chapter 24 of the String of Fate sequel, where I give my own spin to the Fall of Krakoa, is now available to read on AO3 ^-^
This story is the third in a series where I’ve been dealing with Akihiro’s past trauma, but it should be easy to follow even if you never read the first two works. You’ll miss critical character development, of course, but I’ve been told you can follow along.
If you like the chapter and you are enjoying the story, please think about leaving a comment. Authors write for themselves, yes, but also to form a connection with readers, to create a community. To share the love for a character. To have a conversation with you. Thank you ^-^
It read like a goodbye, the letter that Akihiro had received when Johnny arrived on Earth to attend Cyclops’ trial. It read like a maudlin mess, and a heartfelt declaration of love, and a way to reassure Akihiro and himself, to work out his feelings of anticipation for the battles to come. To cover all the bases, before the war. Because anything could happen, Johnny wrote. But still, he swore, he would come back to Akihiro. Akihiro believed it.

Will Akihiro and Johnny choose what is right, or what is easy?
