My Stories
I've a few other story ideas aside from EVA, but so these are just in the preliminary stages; it might be a while before these see the light. One is Summer's End, an original story that may or may not become a romance of sorts. The other is more fanfiction, this time for two other anime that have claimed a special niche in my heart: To Heart and Ai Yori Aoshi, which is known in English as Bluer than Indigo.

Can the life of one person truly touch the lives of so many others? Even if that person has long passed away, and now remains a mere memory to the people whose lives that person had enriched? Will that person live on, as their memories live on in those left behind? A story set after EVA, in a world changed but altogether familiar...
