This is yet another Kimi No Na wa (君の名は。) after story.
Mitsuha and Taki meet and rather quickly accept that they both are in love with each other, but they after a while have to deal with things that has to do with who they are.
It is fan-fiction exploring the future destiny of Mistuha and Taki.
The anime written by Makoto Shinkai is truly wonderful and complex, and for me who don't understand japanese it became kind of hard to accept the ending. What happened after? Did they actually get together or what?
I think they both have something the gods protecting Itomori want to keep, and the key to keep it is the other one, so now I am at peace with the movie. But before I got there I started to construct a story, and started to write it down for my own sake. And got the idea to write it here, where I have seen some other after stories.
Knowing that things take time, I have written a lot of it already planning to release all of it at one time, but things change.
Some of you may think it is romantic gibberish, others that it's not even romantic. But it is a contribution to all of us trying, or who tried, to get free of the movie so read it as it is.
Is it an adventure? In a way.
Is it too cute? Maybe.
Is there darkness? Sometimes yes.
Hopefully there wont be too many inconsistencies that I have to correct later. Spelling and grammar errors - yes there are. It's not so beautifully written as some other after stories either. And perhaps some parts could need a bit of more consideration.
A note of warning. If you haven't seen the anime yet, it might be good to see it first, since there are lots of references to it as flashbacks. i.e. spoiler warning.
And as this is a fanfiction it builds on a story that isn't mine and most of the characters in it isn't mine either.
So, lets go to 2021.
Enjoy
