"Secret Yearnings of the Souls"
What do demons, humans, and angels have in common?
Written by: Second Wind (Introducton - Final Chapter) & Co-Authored by GoodbyeMyHeart (Chapter 6 – Chapter 8ii)
Rating: Most probably M-rated, although there are long sections that can be K-rated.
Chapters: (Most likely) 12 chapters.
Pairing: Ciel Phantomhive & Sebastian Michaelis. Can also be considered as Undertaker & Sebastian Michaelis in some parts, though, because he does play one of the central roles…
Spoilers: The entire animated 'Kuroshitsuji' episodes.
Disclaimers: First and foremost, I do not have the pleasure nor the authority to claim the following characters as my own creation: Sebastian Michaelis, Ciel Phantomhive, the Undertaker, May Rin, Bardroy, Finnian, Tanaka, Lady Elizabeth Midford, Randol, Abberline, and the Ash/Angela character, because they all belong to Ms. Toboso YANA along with everything, the original creator of her comic masterpiece: "Kuroshitsuji". Kuroshitsuji the comic version is also available, but this story definitely takes after the ending of the animated version of the same story. The comics are published by Square Enix, as a part of G-Fantasy Comic Books, while the animated version is released by Aniplex. There is also a Nintendo DS game soft from Square Enix called "Kuroshitsuji – Phantom & Ghost", if you are interested. (The story of the game also takes the story arc of the animated version.)
Tips: This story will be more enjoyable, if you are 'very open-minded', and that you find the ideas introduced in episodes 17 through 24 most interesting. Also, I have taken liberty of slightly modifying (or modeling) the character of Sebastian Michaelis to a demon generally referred to as a 'Great Prince of Hell', and listed as one of the 72 demons that Solomon controlled until the Babylonians destroyed the pots in which the demons had been sealed. In the 'Lesser Keys of Solomon', the 36th is a demon called 'Prince Stolas'. You can easily find him on Wikipedia. Apparently, he 'commands 26 legions of demons and teaches astronomy and the knowledge of poisonous plants, herbs and precious stones. He is also depicted as either being a crowned owl with long legs, a raven, or a man'. Another book I found was written in Japanese and is an encyclopedia of Hell's residents by 'Fantasy World Researching Group' which was edited by 'Brain Navi' and published by Kosaido. In this book, Prince Stolas is also described as: "a demon that is relatively easy to summon, has much less devious characteristics compared to the others". Also, I found some references which described demons as capable of: giving births, impregnating humans, mixbreeding, be married, have fixed gender unlike the angels, have extremely high pain tolerance, and have souls. ...After which, I took a huge liberty of assigning some of the demon lords as Prince Stolas's blood-relatives. (You WILL understand the reasons for my choice, if you stick around long enough.)
Extra Tip: Please try and picture Sebastian from the comic series. I have noticed that in the animated version, Sebastian looks about 10 YEARS older than he does in comic series.
Remarks: This will be about the 5th fanfiction story that I write, although my very first (and most likely the only one for the animation story-arc) Kuroshitsuji story. My other 4 works had been for the X-Files. I had entirely original fictional works as well, but they remain unfinished and incomplete…
This story will also be 'very' long, because I never write anything short, aside from some poetry.
Okay, on with the story. I just hope that you will find my book interesting.
