N_B-a AN: Hey guys! It's N_B-a here with (drum roll please) another MaruMine fic! What can I say? They're my OTP. This one is my first attempt at a multi-chapter written on my own for my own sake. Normally I co-write so that I have somebody to urge me along, or I write requests as gifts for other people. But this time I'm going it alone, so wish me luck and review often so that I have a reason to keep going.
This story plays with the idea of reincarnation, playing off of the comment "Let's meet again, in the next life". We'll be going through the canon world, a few versions of the "real" world (Earth as we know it), several time periods, and a few fictional worlds – like Steampunk and science fiction. I'm really excited about this, and I think it'll turn out pretty well. Feel free to make suggestions and comments. And so without further ado, here we go.
Reviews fill me with
Unimaginable joy
And motivation

'I can't help but wish… that things had been… different, somehow.'
His plans for domination of Organization XIII had been complex. Her powers had been elaborate.
'Maybe if things hadn't… ended the way they had. Maybe if they hadn't begun… the way they did.'
What he asked her to do was so hard. What she did was so painful.
'Maybe things could have been… better. Or… maybe it all would have been worse, after all.'
The relationship they'd experienced had been complicated. The place that housed all of this was labyrinthine.
'Maybe… they wouldn't have been. Maybe they were supposed to be different… and we spoiled it ourselves.'
In hindsight, why did it all seem so simple?
'I just wish… that we could have done it… differently.'
