KH Fic: Those Chosen by the Gods

Title: Those Chosen by the Gods
Author: [personal profile] 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, [personal profile] myth.

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

Fic: Awakenings (Chapter 4)

Title: Awakenings
Author: [personal profile] 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, [personal profile] myth and [personal profile] 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

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

KH Fic: Day Off

Title: Day Off
Author: [personal profile] 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, [personal profile] myth. This was originally planned to be the epilogue to Copperhead Snake, but has since expanded and morphed into what you see now.

KH Fic: Definitions

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 [personal profile] myth.

Would things make sense after we get hearts? )

Title: Important Things

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. )

Ahhh been gone so long.

Remember the last time I updated this after forgetting about it? And how I said I was going to post fic and never did?

...Yeah, me too. Sorry, guys ._. But I'm posting the backlog now, so that counts for something, right? Even if it's just copy-pasting what I wrote on LJ?


I'm going to be honest. I wrote this to kill the bunny. All I did was add about 2700 words, take out one song, and add another, but now I don't have to go back every time I write an Awakenings-verse scene referencing this fic and spend a couple hours (at least) deciding how Riku or Xehanort or Naminé or Rep or Kairi or other characters' responses should be written. I'm not pimping this to comms since it's not a new fic, but you can go ahead and tell people about the update, and I won't mind.

So... there we go. Comments if you take it would be appreciated.

Been a while since there's been a post here, I know. But I'll update the fic list soon. And back-read some entries, sorry guys u_u'

Anyway, today is probably gonna be pretty mellow. Posted the M version of the big, depressing FST/fic over on Eljay, so today, I think I'm going to write nothing but RikuSora. Then, I can get back to editing the Awakenings stuff I got back from one of my betas.

Poem: Even If

I sat down to write this poem intending to talk about Mukuro and Chrome and Spade from KHR!, but this ended up being about a future Awakenings fic again. Funny, how the brain works.

Even If )

I think this is a sequel - as much as anything is - to Obligations and Future. It's partly talking about the same conversation, I guess, but with a slightly different context. I've been thinking about commissioning someone to do a manga page or two for that scene for me.

Two KH Fics: Find and Coriolis Effect

Got a couple writing updates coming this way. haven't checked the reading page in a while, so I'll do that once I'm done posting here.

These two fics aren't precisely canon for Awakenings itself, but as I mentioned in a previous entry, they branch off vaguely after Sometimes. So, think of them as canon for Awakenings during the timeline of the games, up to the point where the letter from Mickey arrives, if that makes sense.

Title: Find
Author: [personal profile] way2dawn
Characters/Pairings: Riku, Terra, very lightly mentioned Riku/Sora.
Rating: PG?
Summary: “I want to line the pieces up”
A/N: Spoilers for the entirety of BBS. Many thanks to my lovely beta, [personal profile] myth, as always.

Find )


Title: Coriolis Effect
Author: [personal profile] way2dawn
Character/Pairings: Riku-centric, light Riku/Kairi/Naminé, implied OTYay (OT5ish).
Rating: PG-13ish for thematic reasons
Summary: Anticipation, something about a dream (or a memory {or a dream}), and the inner ear.
A/N: As always, many thanks to my beta, [personal profile] myth. Sequel to Find. Branches off vaguely from Awakenings after Sometimes. This ficlet is gold_panner’s fault (♥ you~).

Just some updates and general info stuff.

Instead of posting that unbeta'd post-BBS ficlet I had on LJ here, I decided to write a sequel, and then send both of them to my beta while batting my eyelashes (hopefully convincingly :P), since she's done with BBS now and can look at more of my writing. As for timelines, they branch off from the Awakenings verse after Sometimes.

It looks kind of like this:
Sometimes ---> timeline split

Timeline 1 (Awakenings verse): immediately after narration ends ---> ending scene of KH2 w/letter ---> Awakenings ---> a few months ---> The Middle (tentative title) ---> about a year and a half? ---> more computer shenanigans (title tbd) ---> about half a year? ---> Temptation ---> a couple years ---> Kairi and Naminé win everything (title tbd) ---> about four years? ---> Present (tentative title? can't remember if I gave it one) ---> about five years ---> Succession (title tbd) ---> about five years ---> plague, OCs/apprentices, etc. (title tbd), total of ten years between Present and plague 'cause that's how I roll

Timeline 2 (more canonish, but with the OTYay, like it should be): about a week or so ---> Find ---> about another week ---> probably during this week, re:coded (have only been spoiled for the secret ending, not coded or re:coded) ---> Coriolis Effect ---> a few minutes ---> ending scene of KH2 w/letter ---> KH3D? KH3?

I'm writing Awakenings for NaNoWriMo. The Shinji muse is thrilled, lol.

KH Drabble: Important Things

Both today and yesterday, I was planning on writing things for Awakenings with Shinji & co. Both today and yesterday, I ended up writing something different. ...Well, I suppose yesterday's writing was still technically Awakenings, but Shinji was unconscious and Asuka and Riku were being tsundereish, so I'm not really sure if that counts.

Anyway. Like I said, I was planning on writing Awakenings stuff, but I got pulled off-track a little and ended up looking up and cross-referencing translations for some of the KH2 novels. Then I started thinking about some of the scenes in the novels that weren't in the game and ended up trying to answer a timeline/continuity[/characterization implications?] question I've had for quite some time. I'm not sure if this drabble completely answered it, but I think it's definitely one of the possibilities of how things could've happened.
