Fic: Communications 1/?

When I post fan fiction on FF.net, I usually try to keep my author's notes to a minimum. I get annoyed when I've read all there is to a fic entry and I've only scrolled halfway down the page -_-. Mostly this is a problem with individual responses to reviewers (which I at one time did (^^;) but have since ceased), but it could easily become one with general author ramblings. I, personally, could take up an additional third of a page with everything I want to talk about, but I restrain myself. I know that's not really much, considering the length of my more recent entries, but it's the principal of the matter, really. Still, there are things I really do want to talk about, and really, what else is a LiveJournal for?
That said, if you want Whole Notes, stay here. If you prefer Skim or Low Fat, go look me up on FF.net. If you want Half and Half, we'll have to work something out -_-.

Communications
Fandom: Detective Conan/Magic Kaito
Summary: Divergence. Shortly after his father's death, Kaito gets an interesting visitor.
Installment One: Detective

( Roughly Eight Years Ago... )

Oh, yeah, FYI, divergence means that this is going to be a _different continuity_ from the original. 'Two paths diverged in the woods and I took the one less traveled by' (Robert Frost) and all that. To extend the metaphor, the original universe is the path more frequently taken, and this universe is kinda blazing its own trail ^^.
