An Unseen Kindness chapter 3

I wrote this today, yay!

Chapter three.
For a chapter without much action, I liked this. I liked writing it.
I do not like how long it took me to sit my butt down and write it. six weeks! almost seven! bah!
but I did write it, that's what counts.

So Ken is back at it, trying to fix up the digiworld. And at least now he has Stingmon to help, big, strong Stingmon. But Stingmon/Wormmon notices- this is a big job. But Ken can't ask for help- who would help him- he's convinced the other DD hate his guts. Which some probably do. Cody for one, had a hard time forgiving him in the show, and what with nearly killing TK- it just got that much harder. I also think that Matt is going to have a much harder time, and of course TK. because how do you do that, even knowing he didn't understand what it meant- forgiveness is hard. It's a theme in this story, the theme. A Captive light had the theme of undying loyalty, a Fading Hope had the theme of hope and light triumphing over despair. And An Unseen Kindness is about redemption, something Ken is certain he can't obtain.
The thing is, though- he can. He just can't see it.

As I've said, I love Ken's mother. So much. She and Mrs. Izumi are some of the best moms ever. They don't really know what's going on, but they love their sons so much. I'm excited to work with both of them in this story and in Apartment 217.
They really are alike, though Ken's mom is- she doesn't understand the danger half so well as Izzy's. But she makes up for that by experiencing something similar- she lost Ken. she lost him for weeks to the Digital world. At least Izzy's mom only lost him for a day or so thanks to the time lapse, and she knew he had friends looking out for him, that he still does. Ken's mom didn't have that. So she's not worried about Ken coming back hurt, like Izzy's Mom, so much as Ken staying away again.

In any case- Ken gets his stuff together- and leaves.
Keep in mind this is the same night Izzy is captured and Sora attacked.
The next chapter should be fun!

An Unseen Kindness chapter two!

Wow. I am so behind. I take six weeks to update and six weeks to blog. *sigh* I'm sorry.

So, Chapter two, which still has no title.

I.. I don't have as much to say about this chapter. It was kinda filler, really. Ken beating himself up a bit, hanging out with Wormmon and talking to his mom, and seeing what went down with Matt.

"You didn't know." the green digimon whispered, leaping up onto the boy's lap.

"I should have, though. I should have." Ken said bitterly, ducking his head"

I feel like they have this conversation every few days. Ken really has been beating himself up for this- which I think it pretty canon, because when they're all facing MaloMyotismon, he sent them into visions where they- I dunno, got their heart's desire, or something- and Ken's was really heartbreaking. He didn't get sam back, or see a world where he'd never been evil, his dream- they were in the dream world place- his dream was to be punished for what he'd done. This kid is 11 and that was what he wanted more than anything. It's so sad. I tried to capture that. Ken honestly doesn't think he can make up for what he did, honestly thinks he will never belong in the Digital world.

moving on- Ken witnesses the events of chapter 2 of A Fading Hope. That was fun, to write it from an outside point of view, an over view rather than the very limited this-is-what-TK-knows-is-happening point of view. That was nice. there will be several other instances of this, of Ken seeing things happen.

And then my AN promising postings. I AM working on the song fic, by the way.
I'll post later tonight about chapter three, which i just posted
