Description
A long form Citrus/Citrus+ fanfiction that aims to cover various stories from different points in time, different characters and surprising developments for the cast of Citrus. There will be drama. There will be laughs. There will be developing relationships... but will Mei and Yuzu finally reach the next stage? Opening with a story of Mei and Yuzu's early university days, we follow Mei's point of view as she faces a whole new experience: Not being the top dog. Without the protection of Aihara Academy and the assured social status that brings, Mei finds herself feeling exposed, having to navigate social situations many people take for granted. This first features mainly Mei's POV. I've done my best to write Mei as I see her, being someone who is quietly very contemplative inwardly, all so she give short and to the point answers. Being somewhat uncomfortable with conversations, I imagine she might have a lot of personal challenges and I wanted to draw them out. Will Mei be able to make friends without incident? Do the members of the Aihara board of directors still have a ship on their shoulder for "The Heretical Witch"? Is Yuzu a serious student who can continue to dedicate herself to her studies for the sake of love? Well, you'll just have to read and find out! (Parts of this story have been planned and brainstorm way ahead of time. If the chapters of Citrus+, post July 2025, contradict anything written herein, just go with it lol!)
