Title: Those Chosen by the Gods
Author: way2dawn
Characters/Pairings: OCs, mostly. A few canon characters mentioned.
Summary: The power of the gods has always made itself present in Ayame’s family. Only by dedication and sacrifice will the islands remain peaceful. Pre-BBS up to KH1.
A/N: Religious themes, obviously. Awakenings-verse, but can also be read as just speculation. All canon characters are deliberately unnamed. Many thanks, as always, to my lovely beta, myth.

( Their way of life is peaceful as long as they are dedicated. )

For bulletcourier :) This song was written by my step-cousin Arthur, so lyrics are approximated.

( He wrote a couple songs about Gundam, you know. Though I have no idea what this one's about... )

Title: Awakenings
Author: way2dawn
Characters/Pairing: Shinji, Roxas, Quatre, ensemble. Various pairings.
Rating: PG
Summary: Post-KH2. Crossover with Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam Wing, and FF7: Advent Children; familiarity with all source media is not necessary. Post-End of Evangelion, anime timeline, but with some elements from the manga. Post-series Gundam Wing, no-movie AU. When Shinji Ikari met the three strange teens with mysterious weapons called Keyblades, he didn’t expect that he would be able to wield one as well, nor did he expect to be taken on a journey to various worlds, stopping the threat of the Heartless and finding the Awakened. For a boy who only wants to be at peace, how will he deal with this strange new set of circumstances? When the threads of the past interweave with the events of the present, what future will he make?
A/N: Many thanks to my two lovely betas, myth and cozzybob. This idea has been rolling around in my head for a very long time. This is the Kingdom Hearts universe told from an outsider’s point of view, so familiarity with the games is not necessary, although there will be spoilers for at least KHI and KHII. Familiarity with Gundam Wing is not necessary, either, but it helps. This entire fic was plotted out before BBS came out in Japan.

Prologue - Chapter 1 - Chapter 2

( Asuka didn't need some pretty-boy telling her what to do. )

Here's the soundtrack to Whisper :)

For those who haven't read the fic yet, be aware that quotes from the fic will be in the song explanations.

A Xemnas FST I made a while back. Just in case it needs to be said, I made this before I was spoiled for Birth By Sleep, but if anyone wants to ask about my thoughts regarding Xemnas and BBS, I'd be willing to discuss explanations/theories with you (please specify game canon and/or ficverses).

Here's the soundtrack for my fic Riku, Home. Hope you all like it :)



( download, tracklisting, and explanations under the cut )

This FST was made for Akuroku Day 2009, and consists of songs entirely by Alkaline Trio :)



( These feelings tend to leave me with a hole in my chest )

For punjab_banks, who kicks ass at writing this pairing and requested this on an FST comm :)

Title: Day Off
Author: way2dawn
Characters/Pairings: Riku+Naminé, DiZ, Sora, mentions of the Riku Replica, implied SoRiKai OT3.
Rating: PGish for mentioned deaths? Not anything worse than the games.
Summary: Riku and Naminé play hooky and go on an ice cream date. Part of the Awakenings verse, but can be read as a standalone.
A/N: As always, many thanks to my lovely beta, myth. This was originally planned to be the epilogue to Copperhead Snake, but has since expanded and morphed into what you see now.
