The melding of the two worlds had been so seamless that Ran had scarcely felt the switch between them. As easy as crossing a threshold, it was, and he had been somewhat surprised by it all. 

Same time, another place. A patchwork quilt of tableaus. Ran felt like he'd fallen through the Looking Glass.

He fervently hoped that the flowers wouldn't start talking. 

Patched together across memory and time there is a world which is called Terra and one called Antiterra. A world where Aya-chan never woke up and Weiss continued as drearily as the afternoon rain on the day Ken and Aya decide to leave Weiss for good. Naturally, doing so has a few very weird consequences. And not just for the members of Weiss, who come face to face with one inconvertible truth…

Contains… Angst, Lemon/Yaoi, Violence, Many colorful swears, Angst, Kinky stuff, Yuri, Shotacon, Angst, Lolicon, Straight Stuff, Recreational pharmaceutical use, Angst, Adult themes, Telepaths messing with people's heads and more obscure literary references than we can count...

Also bears the dubious distinction of spoilers form FF7... really.

The timeline for this fic was assembled mostly from the first TV series, but contains some references to the manga and the drama CD’s… and some things from said books and recordings which we threw out entirely. Au, Au, Au…

Oh, and for the most part, the characters resemble their manga selves with anime coloring. With the notable exception of Youji who looks his somewhat more masculine self. What can we say otherwise? We like big baby eyes… 

We’d like to say we we’re boozing when we wrote this but… [insert sound of Kwobtchan shuffling away].

Addendum: through the revision process, we have come to make one noticeable change to CV continuity.  Aya is no longer a virgin when CV starts, not matter what it may say here.  We're hentais, and we're slow.  Sorry.

For the curious, listed parts are written or in the process of being written. From Part Six onward, those sections whose number is a multiple of three are in Tokyo, others are elsewhere...
