Tactility - A Parallel Universe Fanfiction
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 2:04 am
This story isn't as AU as "A Parallel Universe" sounds; everything is the same except for a single character, Hisao, who. rather than suffering from a sudden onset of arrhythmia, has been dealing with a unique disease since near birth. The ramifications of this single change will eventually spread to affect everyone he's ever known.
What is this condition?
"I’m losing tactile sensation, and have been losing it ever since I was a child. Temperature and texture are nearly foreign concepts to me. All there is left is the slight pressure that indicates that I’m touching something, and nothing more."
Summary:
"A Hisao infinitely more accustomed to being crippled would certainly be able to make more friends, even if that's not his intention at first."
This will radically change what was previously a very neutral character.

Oh, and, you can assume that swearing, drugs/alcohol, sex, and violence may at some point appear within the story. I will post warnings when something particularly graphic comes up...but we're all theoretically 18+. so I don't anticipate problems.

5/12: What I'm going to do, rather than revise all my characters, is create a single introduction chapter to Act 2 here. In it I will summarize all of the important Act 1 differences from canon, and then the next chapter posted on here would be Act 2. Considering the time difference between Chapter 1 and Chapter 26 to be well over a year, the writing should be a good deal better, and there is also basically zero canon script reliance at that point, though I use it to direct where the story goes and line up the timelines so that I can maintain continuity.

No one knows what's wrong with me yet. I just...am, a special case among the special cases, and all we've discovered about my condition is that stress worsens it. That's why I've been sent to Yamaku Academy, to be forgotten. / A Hisao infinitely more accustomed to being crippled would certainly be able to make more friends, even if that's not his intention.
Act 1: Quality of Life
Arc 1: Explore
1- Spitfire: When meeting for the first time, you should be polite and respectful.
2- Tempered: Learning to make friends again is easier said than done.
3- Entropy: Things can get crazy sometimes. That's how the world works.
4- Denial: Denial is the first stage of accepting loss.
5- Evolution: It's okay to change.
6- Competition: Not everything's a competition. Sometimes it's okay to lose.
7- Risk: You should only take the risks that aren't likely to hurt others.
8- Breathlessly: You should stop to sit down once in a while.
9- Mistakes: Be careful about what you do around other people. You never know what you will give away.
10- Feeling: Wouldn't it be nice to stop and watch the world once in a while?
Arc 2: Pulse
11- Out of the Loop: Sometimes things don't go as planned.
12- Spontaneity: People don't always stick to the patterns.
13- Distraction: Sometimes you forget to do what you must.
14- (Dis)advantage: Taking advantage of someone else's blindness is very impolite.
15- Problem Solving: Sometimes the best way to solve something is to ignore it.
16- Memories: It's better to focus on making memories rather than watching the ones you have slip away.
17- Misstep: Be careful about how much you push yourself.
Arc 3: Learn
18- Repair: Two steps forward, one step back.
19- Amends: Spend more time forgiving than you do being angry.
20- On The Road: The journey is often as important as the destination.
21- Generosity: One kind act might not seem like much at first.
22- Relationship: Knowing how to give and take is very important.
23- Celebration: A true artist paints not with a brush, but with ideas.
24- Practice: A friendly game reveals a lot about a person.
25-Moving Forward: Sometimes it's best to leave the past behind.
Act 2: Proprioception
Arc 4: New Beginnings
26- Awareness: It helps to understand the people you work with.
27- Relapse: Hold on to your strength.
28- Friendship: It all starts at the dinner table, doesn't it?
29- Hope: Keep on pushing, even when things look bleak.
30- Chess: You learn a lot about yourself when you're pressed to the limit.
