Well, never thought I would be starting up another story at a time like this, but I need to get this off my chest and this will be pretty short anyway. I welcome you to Soul Links, the next victim of my wild imagination and weird literary reasonings. I wasn't certain if this should be put in the crossovers section, but since it does include the Velvet Room and the personae fusion system, I'll just put it there. Note: this will have some references to the Persona series, but it's a very mild crossover. If you think that a certain arcana doesn't suit a certain character, do let me know - because I have no idea how to assign a handful of characters to their rightful arcana. Thank you, and enjoy.

The Journey

You knew you were never normal.

The moment you agreed to bring the blade to the chest, you knew you were in for the ride of your life - and death.

As sarcastic as it may sound, you were dying to know more about these presences you felt; the strange, twisted feeling in your gut which told, or tells, you that a supernatural force is nearby.

Everyone thought of you as 'weird' or 'special' or just plain 'idiotic'. You couldn't care less.

As the days turned into weeks, which turned into months, so much had happened so quickly it could not register in your mind properly.

Amidst the fog clouding your mind, you were aware of only one objective: defeating Aizen. Your friends share the same mindset, and the same resolution, as you do.

With that in mind, you felt you could weigh the whole world on your shoulders and not feel tired. You felt you could live up to everyone's expectations and not fail them. You felt you could take on Zaraki any damn time and not lose.

However, the fog only grows denser...

You walk home one day from school. For once in your life, nothing catches your eye - though, you are certain that after living through complete, utter hell, nothing back home can ever appeal to you as much - until you feel the familiar tug in your chest, telling you that something is just not right.

A white flash blinds you, and you feel a migraine coming on. In a poor attempt to ignore it, you continue walking till you are by your door.

The next thing you know, your world goes black, before it begins glowing a pale sapphire blue.

You aren't sure of what you are seeing, or dreaming, because this certainly feels like the essence of a dream to you.

You think you might have stepped into a blue version of the world you share with your blade and your other half, with the exceptions being a chair in the middle of nowhere, a small dining table behind it, and two comfortable-looking beds.

Two people enter your view.

"Welcome..."

You knew you were never normal.
