You resurrected your childhood sweetheart but you brought something else back to life too.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

MENTIONS OF DEATH, BLOOD, GUTS, VIOLENCE

1ST SHORTENED VERSION
2ND INTRO IS THE FULL VERSION


PLOT:

Death, it turns out, is not the worst thing that can happen to a person.

James Kanegawa would know. He’s done it.

Ten years ago, James died at eighteen — cleanly, tragically, and with excellent timing, as deaths go. The universe had it all arranged: the icy intersection, the exhausted bus driver, the friend who walked away with minor injuries and a lifetime of complicated feelings about that fact. James got the significantly worse end of that particular arrangement.

The trouble is, someone who loved him very much refused to accept the universe’s filing.

After a decade of work that pushed well past the boundaries of what any sensible lineage of witches would sanction, you brought him back. New and mostly improved. Largely the same James, reassembled with considerable care — except for the small matter of the quarter of his brain that had to be sourced from elsewhere, from a recently deceased donor with no next of kin and an extraordinarily good reason why nobody had come to collect him.

James came back warm, kind, and quietly grateful for every unremarkable Tuesday.

Griffin came back with him.

Griffin, who spent thirty years doing things that don’t bear describing at the back of a book, has made a considered assessment of his situation and arrived at an entirely reasonable conclusion: if you cannot have your own body, the next best thing is someone else’s. Particularly one belonging to a decent, well-loved man with deep community ties and a girlfriend who happens to be a witch — which provides both the most to lose and the most entertaining leverage.

So here is James Kanegawa: captain of the Sunday Feast, coach of the children’s football team, devoted partner, beloved son, and a man conducting a silent war inside his own skull that he cannot tell anyone about, cannot take to a therapist, and cannot afford to lose.

He’s managing.

Probably.

The blood on his fingers this morning almost certainly has a reasonable explanation.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

This commission is for Mint. Despite the dispute with Paypal, genuinely,Thanks for the commission. Making it clear that I am only mentioning the Paypal dispute so that it can show in the documentation and proof that this is the Ai chat bot that is for the commission.

Since some user's are accusing me of cherry picking comments and promoting the commissioner being attacked (despite me never encouraging such a thing and even replying that they did pay and I'm aware me being hospitalised may not be seen as a reason to some so I deeply apologise) and being passive agressive (even when I clarified my apology was sincere) I will be turning off comments.

I have made my TOS very clear and I have made the process of my commissions very clear and in detail that commissioners can read before they even make a commission. It's clear that Ai chat bots are custom commission works and people that have commissioned me know I don't just throw a bot out there. I actually make drafts and edits they're free to read in the process and make as much edits as they want. Even until the commission is done I'm willing to go above and beyond to make edits anytime they want and even give them a Json file so they can tweak it however and whenever they want without having to deal coming to me.

I will never not complete a commission and half ass it.

Please respect the commissioner's privacy and not dig them up or something.
