World of My Own

Title: Down the Dark Path
Author: clover71
Fandom: Free! (fused with Tokyo Ghoul)
Pairing: Matsuoka Rin/ Nanase Haruka
Other Character(s) Tachibana Makoto
Rating: R (for the nature of the story but this doesn't contain explicit sex)
Word Count: 10,700K+
Description: Written for Trope Bingo 2014 for the square prompt 'au:fusion' and also for journeystory 2014.
Warning: Minor character death. And I'd warn for gore but then it's not graphic so there's no need, unless the idea of ghouls eating human flesh is a trigger for you, so consider that a fair warning.
Summary: Something happened to Makoto, something unimaginable that eventually became a nightmare not just for him but for his friends Haru and Rin as well.

Author's Note(s):

- This fic features Free! characters in Tokyo Ghoul setting. If you're not familiar with Tokyo Ghoul, I suggest you Google it to have an idea so you'll know what to expect.
- If you're a big fan of Makoto, you might not want to read this because you wouldn't like how I wrote him here. I practically turned him to Kaneki Ken, except not exactly. I may have followed the concept of Tokyo Ghoul, but I didn't follow the plot religiously.
- Though the pairing is Rin/Haru or Haru/Rin, this story isn't focused on their relationship so don't expect any romantic scenes between them. It is, however, clearly emphasized that they're in a relationship.
- Since this was set in another fandom's setting, then this may be considered Alternate Universe/ AU
- This isn't beta-read or edited yet. I will make corrections later.

Author's Note(s):
- Title comes from Matsuoka Rin's character song.
- This was inspired by a paragraph from High Speed! 2 (High Speed is the novel the anime Free! was based from and a second book - about Haru's life in middle school and Rin's life in Australia - was released at the same time the season 2 of anime came out. There isn't a complete English translation yet, but I saw bits and pieces from tumblr) where Rin's grandmother was talking to Souhei, Asahi's (Haru's new teammate in his middle school swim club) father, and Rin's grandmother revealed she has heard about Haruka Nanase, saying:

"Nanase’s the boy Rin went so far as to transfer schools chasing, after all. You can’t imagine how shocked I was when I heard that was the reason!"

My shipping heart exploded.

Rating: G
Word Count: 9800+
Description: Written for kidficstory 2014.
Warning: I did my best to steer away from whatever happened in the light novel, but I may have slipped somewhere along the way so it's best to put up this warning to those who haven't read the (English fan-translated) book yet. There may be a pinch of spoilers.
Summary: Haruka Nanase didn't expect that his quiet and uneventful life would be shaken upon the arrival of Rin Matsuoka who transferred to Iwatobi Elementary School during the last few months in sixth grade.
