Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Bed of Lies (v. 2.1) ❯ Introduction ( Prologue )

...Now what is this I've stumbled on..?

Well, Obviously, this is Bed of Lies v.2.1 Its v.2.1 because it's the rewriting of the second version of this story. I'll probably repost v.1 at some point, so you can see just how much better this one is. Anyway, if any of you reading this now are familiar with my original Bed of Lies fic, you'll know that this is my answer to the unholy thing known as '25 years later' (or '25 hits of LSD'). If you didn't, well you do now. This story will leave some loose ends. That's because its 1 of 3 stories that I will someday complete, that will all explain what the hell was happening in the last 15 minutes of Digimon Adventure. I'm not saying that this is the absolute truth, I just think this is what seems likely to have happened.

And just to make it more clear this time around, for God's sake do you really think this is going to end in Sorato? After everything I'm putting poor Taichi through in this chapter alone? (This is most in response to someone asking me in a review of the first version of this tale why I was writing Sorato if Taito is my favorite couple. This story takes awhile to unfold, so be patient little ones..)

I also hope no one feels I am in any way bashing Sorato here. I like Sorato, as a matter of fact. I just happen to think that Sora and Yamato seem very divorced in the epilogue. I'm not denying the fact that their kids are siblings (they are in both the Japanese and American versions) either.

The last thing to explain about this story, and probably the most confusing bit, is that its basically one long ass songfic. Its based around the Matchbox Twenty song 'Bed of Lies'. At the beginning of each chapter there will be lyrics. The chapter is more of less based around those lyrics, and the story follows the song in lyrical order. And if something doesn't make sense to you about what the lyrics have to do with the story, do say something. I have weird ways of interpreting lyrics sometimes, and I really want to make sure people get how the song works with the story. I'm also going to post the lyrics in full right here in this introduction. Maybe you'll be able to see where this is going. I already have this thing mapped out in full, but hey, its still fun to guess.

[No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I am

Don't think that I can take another empty moment

Don't think that I can fake another

hollow smile

It's not enough just to be sorry.

Don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you got needs

And they're only a whisper away

And we softly surrender

To these lives that we've tendered away

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And they'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I am

Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over

Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong

Where it's not enough just be sorry

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

Tried to be more than me

And I gave 'til it all went away

And we've only surrendered

To the worst part of these winters we've made

I am all that I'll ever be

When you - lay your hands

Over me

but don't go weak on me now

I know that it's weak

But God help me I need this

I will not sleep in this bed of lies]

And in closing, the disclaimer.

I don't own Digimon. It owned by a lot of companies, and seems to keep switching owners over her in America. Unfortunately, Saban still owns the first two seasons. *motions with hand* Grrrr. Arrrrggggggg...
