Fate/Bleached Apocrypha
Part 1
Opening and Ending
Hey everyone, just something I'd thought I'd add as a supplementary bit for my story Fate/Bleached Apocrypha. I am essentially treating the chapters in this story as if they were episodes in an anime and I thought for fun if it was, what songs would I pick and how would this look. So, here's my attempt at an opening and ending for part 1 and I am thinking about doing something similar for part 2 and 3. I will pick songs that can be easily found on YouTube and other platforms and will label them clearly if anyone has any interest in listening to them as is. Also, the Servants are only being labeled here by their Class and Faction names so you'll have to go to the main story to find out whose who for this one.
Finally, I do not own any of the songs or characters being used in this fanfic. They are owned by Amalee, Tite Kubo, and Kinoko Nasu. Please support the official release.

We've only begun so pick up your weapon and face it
Her flag manifests and she unfurls it in its full glory
There's blood on the crown go and take it
The camera sweeps around behind her framing her back and head revealing the greater grail in front of her.
You get one more shot to make it out alive
Cut to her face as She gives looks with grim determination Suddenly a black cat jumps on her shoulder catching her off guard as she stares at it in surprise
So higher and higher you chase it

So higher and higher you chase it

Screen fades in and reveals Ichigo sitting on the left side of the screen on the ground of a grassy field as he's colored blue and he stares up at a starry night sky with a thoughtful expression wearing his Shihakushō
I stepped on the shadowland, there is no paradise
Wind blows by causing his hair and Shihakushō to ripple in the breeze.
Sappy old remedies, uncertain, lost in the night
Cut to Rukia in a similar pose with the same expression except she's colored red and sitting on the right side of the screen. She too is looking up at a starry sky with the same Shihakushō and a wind is causing her clothes and hair to ripple

In hopes that this song will ring out, on even the darkest night
Cut to Kaien surrounded by a black background, dressed in his default outfit though he physically looks like when he first emerged from his tube as he's struggling to get to his feet when he sees a white ethereal hand held out to him though it's hard to tell who is offering the hand. Kaien reaches for it
In hopes that your dreams will live on, not tangled or lost from sight

I'm here for you (I'm here for you)
Suddenly a shadow falls over the battlefield as everyone stops what they're doing as they look up to see what's the cause
I'll live for you
Shot reversed to show that the cause of the large shadow is caused by a Menos Grande Hollow
(music interlude)
The trio jumped into action. The two reapers flashstepped towards the Hollow. Rukia fires off a high level kido. Jeanne activates her noble phantasm as the hollow fires a cero. Ichigo swings his blades firing off a getsuga tensho slicing the Hollow in half. It fades into nothingness as it falls.
