IMPORTANT EDITING NOTICE (for those who loved this fic)! –7/27/2018
This is one of the few fics that I held dear to myself and truly did wish to see to the end, so I have decided to pick it back up, regardless of the fact that I have no recollection of what was going to occur in chapter IV: Reasons (I had, unfortunately, only written the first paragraph…and it was hardly telling of the immediate event to come).
It bugs me that I cannot remember what Ulquiorra's reasons were going to be for the life of me, but alas, I did write this back in high school, and I evidently had one incredible imagination back when (after rereading this fic many, many years later…LOL). I can only imagine that Ulquiorra's denying Grimmjow entrance must've been linked to that of shock and/or trauma, however, so I will try to pull a continuation from that standpoint—it would only make sense for him to be in denial of Grimmjow's sudden existence, after all! Needless to say, the crazy car chase cannot go forgotten either, so I will have to come up with an ending to that as well aha (perhaps they persuade Ulqui to open the door).
I know I have no excuse for never seeing this to the end, but in my defense, I did roll into a new fandom around the time I was "supposed" to finish this fic—cough cough Homestuck—so I'll admit that I pushed a lot of things off in favor of roleplaying whenever I actually had free time for entertainment. Fanfictions were long-forgotten for a time, though I did start a Homestuck fanfic for a little while. (I'm leaning toward discontinuing that fic, btw, regardless of the fact that I had literally every chapter mapped-out in notes on a flashdrive…sorry ^^;)
College was…well, and extremely stressful and very rigorous time for me, but at least now I can say that I've won the war and come out with a Bachelor's in Creative Writing (and Graphic Design as well), so I hope that goes to show for something when the editing process is all said-and-done (because holy hell was my high school writing poor…although, I will admit that it was decent for its time, if I do say so myself haha)!
There are quite a few epic mistakes in this fic that cannot go unnoticed, so that is why I will be editing all the prior chapters before I write the continuation. Perhaps this will spark my writing block on this particular fanfic and push me to a conclusion, too (hopefully…)! One such example of my poor writing are not only the grammar mistakes and distasteful use of high vocabulary (I must've been on an English high or something thanks to my AP class), but I didn't understand how some things worked it seems, and it shows quite starkly in this fic. I am very ashamed of my lack of knowledge on how motorcycles worked back when I wrote the last chapter, readers. Ironically, however, I actually have a motorcycle endorsement on my license and, of course, now know how motorcycles are operated, so you best believe every scene detailing this is going to be written right now! I genuinely wanted to learn how to ride, so that's why I took a class and got a license, although I will shamefully admit that I may have wanted to go the extra mile for my Otabek Altin cosplay, eheheheheheh…..
Anywho! Take this notice any way you want, whether it serves as a reassurance that I will be continuing this fic or pisses you off because it's not a real update, I could care less—as long as you're all happy when the real update rolls around :)! You can even take this as an opportunity to advise me on a path that you think I should take regarding the continuation of this fic, I don't care because I'm open ears to any suggestion at this point, really! (Please leave a review and let me know—anything helps at this point!) What I can say for certain, however, is that we are in some serious due for a fuck ton of flashback sequences because for whatever reason, I gave no explanation whatsoever for why the hell Grimmjow and Ulquiorra ever got together (seriously, what is wrong with me? Lol)!
As an aside…did I seriously make Grimmjow say "…no, I'm peanut butter" as a response to, "you jelly?" what the actual fuck XDDDDD! I feel like that needs to change, but maybe ya'll liked it so I guess it can stay? Man the oocness in this fic is incredible hahahahahahha….(not to mention the random McDonald workers…obviously I updated when I had first started working at McDonald's bc wth…).
Tl;dr: I'm EDITING this fic and its transformation is going to shine like the stars! So, I advise rereading it rather than just continuing where it left off, haha (because there are going to be new additions and minor descriptions)
This notice will remain within the fic after revival so-as not to confuse returning readers when the real chapter 4 is revealed. That is all, thank you!
