Fic post: Gintama fic, Gintoki/Katsura/Takasugi, Chapter 4 [very spoilery]

I finished the fourth chapter of my GinTakaZura WIP! This one is set entirely after canon ends, so spoilers, speculations, conjecture and wishful thinking abound.

I had the privilege of receiving beta and encouragement from both Sparda and plipdragon for this chapter! I am very grateful to them, and to everyone else who's encouraged me.

Constructive criticism and other feedback is very welcome!

Fic title: There's No Together, There's No Apart, There's Only Impossible Longing
Chapter: 4/5 (plus prologue)
Chapter title: Follow The Brook Back Up To The Mountain
Word Count: 9372 [...what. did not realize it was that many words until now!]
Fandom: Gintama
Fic status: in progress
Pairing: Gintoki/Katsura/Takasugi: Gintoki/Katsura, Katsura/Takasugi, Takasugi/Gintoki
Rating: G for this chapter I think; PG-13 or PG-15 for the fic as a whole
Spoilers/Setting: see above: many spoilers for the manga ending in this chapter.
Flavour: Angsty, but hopefully with a relatively happy ending (that's the plan at least)
Summary: A story about Gintoki, Katsura and Takasugi told through various scenes and fragments.
