Scandinavian Heartstrings, in Drop D.
Skwisgaar is forced to face a demon from his past while Toki's mental state declines rapidly - all whilst trying to write and record the new album. The pair undertake seperate yet intertwined emotional journeys to understand their hate for themselves, and each other.
Skwisgaar Swigelf - Rockstar. That's the only Skwisgaar Swigelf the fans, the label or even his bandmates will ever see. Yet somehow Toki manages to slip through the wall he puts up around his heart; which both terrifies Skwisgaar and totally pisses him off. After Toki has a brush with death, Skwisgaar is left confused about his feelings towards him; wanting him close but continuing to push him away.
Toki also starts to realise that his feelings towards Skwisgaar are stronger than he wants to admit; espeially his hatred for him. After the death of his father, Toki's mental state takes a nose-dive as his christian teachings conflict with his feelings towards Skwisgaar and the way he acts upon them.
Note: This is not a nice story, messed up things happen. If you don't want to read that kind of thing, this is not for you.
