Duet of Twin Blades

by Nitrovast

A dark shadow has fallen over Aincrad. Asuna Yuuki, the Lightning Flash, is dead, betrayed by one of her own. Her partner Kirito is lost, his only anchor a spritely clearer by the name of Yuuki Konno, but her past hides its own scars. Will two damaged warriors blossom into something more or will the growing storm tear them, and any hope of salvation apart for good?

Update

Nitrovast here with a little update regarding this story and it's future. First off, I have to apologize for leaving this story abandoned for nearly two months, no matter how you spin it that is completely unacceptable, especially with how short my chapters usually are.

I promise you that this story will run it's full course no matter how long it takes; I will not allow this to become a repeat of ' The Prince of Swords' which was an absolutely outstanding fic, and was far better than anything I could ever dream of writing, that suddenly vanished without warning leaving the story incomplete and fans in mourning.

As to why this story has slowed down? A number of reasons, that I will list:

1) I'm having trouble adapting the old version of this story as the next chapter was a hefty 3,600 words of mostly lemon and I'd like to delay that for the sake of pacing and have no idea what to replace it with.

2) Despite the fact these chapters are usually only 2,000-2,500 words they still take a long time to produce due to my obsession about the most obscure of details and I'm awful at managing times to write.

3) I'm overly attached to this story. Every time I attempt to write the next chapter I'm paranoid of how it will be received as I want to do this story and characters justice.

Excuses out the way, this story WILL return and soon, I just need to banish some writers block and unfounded insecurities first.

Cheers for the patience.
