Reviving this

2018-12-08T22:38:05Z

Since tumblr is burning down, I’m gonna revive this blog in case here is where fandom ends up migrating again. Please don’t read my old posts before I have the chance to private them.

KH Fic: Those Chosen by the Gods

2012-01-26T06:49:06Z

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. )

Fic: Awakenings (Chapter 4)

2012-01-26T05:50:49Z

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 KH1 and KH2. This entire fic was plotted out before BBS or coded came out in Japan.

Prologue - Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Interlude 1 - Chapter 3

Bring Me Closer

2012-01-26T03:00:09Z

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... )

KH FST: Nothing Man

2011-12-24T19:59:37Z

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).

KH FST: Flowers and Chocolate/Dream/Sometimes Soundtrack

2011-12-24T19:49:10Z

For the last three fics of the Awakenings prequels, I decided to combine all the songs into one FST, which is the one I'm posting here. So without further ado... here is the soundtrack for my fics Flowers and Chocolate, Dream, and Sometimes!

Quotes from the fics are in the song descriptions, so if you want to read the fics first, please do so :)

KH FST: Land

2011-12-24T18:39:12Z

Keeping the original commentary for this FST, originally made back in 2008. I have a newer Riku FST that's also done, but I'm not allowed to post it until I finish the Riku Replica one I'm working on :P

- - - - - -

This is an FST that has been many months in the making. It started out as just a little collection of songs I was listening to back in March (at least, that was the earliest post I found about it!), and has since then grew and become something I really like and feel accomplished finishing.

This FST basically follows Riku chronologically through the course of all three Kingdom Hearts games. I attempted to make it as gen and as close to the games as I could, but my pairing biases, both slash and het, are probably going to peek through. Also, while some artists or bands have more than one song on here, the songs were chosen because they fit Riku, and the bands are what feel like very "Riku" bands, to me (this is so hard to word :)). All cover art is by RubyD.

( Tracks, explanations, and downloads )

KH FST: Alkaline Akuroku

2011-12-24T05:05:49Z

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

KH FST: A Line to Your Heart

2011-12-24T04:55:20Z

Only eight more FSTs left to crosspost after this one. Then, it's the rest of Awakenings, the poem backlog update, and the fem!Riku. I swear, the spam will be done as quickly as I can make it.

This one is a Riku/Sora FST :)

KH FST: Contagious

2011-12-24T04:09:27Z

Almost done with the crossposting! Keeping some of the original text/explanation, btw.

Riku proposed to Sora on Twitter RP partially with this mix, so auraille got to see this before anyone else ♥ This also means that most of the songs are from Riku's perspective, but that's just how I roll sometimes :P

KH Fic: Day Off

2011-12-23T02:30:25Z

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.

( She smiles and nods, turning her sketchbook for him to see. )

KH Fic: Definitions

2011-12-22T05:23:39Z

You have no idea how long it takes to re-format everything. All this icky font html from LJ and i instead of em. I think I got them all.

Title: Definitions
Author: way2dawn
Rating: M for language and sexual situations.
Characters/Pairing: Axel/Roxas, mild Roxas+Xion, Xigbar, Riku
Word Count: 11, 400
Summary: Being a Nobody, for Roxas, is like having to re-learn a language you thought you already knew how to speak. He gets help from some of the other members of the Organization, but the more he learns, the more questions he has, especially when people tell him he needs a heart to find the answers.
A/N: Part of the Awakenings verse, but can be read as a standalone. Starts during Day 17 of 358/2 and continues up until near the end of the game. While modifications were made to this fic after I completed playing Days, Roxas’s first trip to Castle Oblivion was planned out after Re:CoM was released, before the Japanese release of Days. The main modifications to this fic after Days were in regards to Xion as a whole [including a few timeline changes in certain parts of the fic] and Roxas’s second trip to Castle Oblivion. Beta'd by the ever-lovely and forgiving myth.

( Would things make sense after we get hearts? )

KH Ficlet: The Measurement of Sora's Annoyance in Billions

2011-12-21T21:11:53Z

Title: The Measurement of Sora’s Annoyance in Billions
Author:
Characters/Pairings: Sora/Riku
Rating: M.
Summary: It is just too goddamn hot on this island today. Post-KH2
A/N: Just a random little ficlet from a bunny I had. This is probably influenced a lot by dualshine@LJ, but that's okay because she's awesome. Unbeta’d because Sora-muse is incredibly impatient.

( Only Sora could be this attractive when he's being this whiny. )

KH Drabble: Important Things

2011-12-21T20:55:42Z

Title: Important Things
Author: way2dawn
Characters/Pairings: Riku, Xehanort’s Heartless
Rating: PGish
Wordcount: 537
Summary: Maybe that was why it was there.
A/N: Unbeta'd, so be gentle. This is partially based on a scene from the KHII novels, where Riku fights Xemnas in Twilight Town, and contains a possible explanation/theory of mine as to when a certain event occurred in KHII. I’m… not sure if it’s canon for the Awakenings verse or not.

( He meant the stained glass, of course. )

KH FST: Another Word For...

2011-12-21T20:36:20Z

This is a Riku/Roxas FST and the soundtrack to Memory's Skyscraper: August. Quotes from the fic will be in song explanations, so please read the fic first if you don't want to be spoiled.

( coverart, download, tracklisting, and explanations )

I'd be glad to hear what you guys think of this :)

Axel/Roxas FST: Engines

2011-06-10T05:02:29Z

And this is the last FST for the night.

...Unless there are other ones I've forgotten to upload on DW. Or should I not check that right now and try to upload more chapters of Awakenings? I have up to chapter 9, I think.

Terra + Riku FST: Carry You

2011-06-10T04:51:32Z

[Note: copy-pasting text from the original LJ entry.]

So I was playing Birth By Sleep, fully expecting to be squicked by any and all mentions and scenes of Riku and Terra together. After all, darkness, badtouch, Xehanort, etc...

And then I got to the scene where they met, and there went that idea. I also started finding some really good songs, so that was how this FST came about.
