replivan (2019)

[xigvex]

I just made a bunch of really short one shots for my rg based pairings! Check it out!

[seer-of-soul]

So @our-happygirl500-fan left a very nice comment with some questions (that I was all to happy to answer) so I figured I’d share them with you all too! I’ll split the individual questions and answers up so it’s more like a Q&A thing. ~<3

Q:I just had a thought Vanitas was hit with sleep last chapter so Aqua didn't straight up attack or try to kill him so that means Sora and Ventus probably told her about Vanitas and how he's not the replica that attacked them when they woke Ventus up. What was that conversation like?

A: There probably wasn’t enough time between saving Aqua and Ven for Sora (and/or Ven) to explain the whole replica thing to Aqua. The sleep spell was more of a reflexive shot than intentional. The combined information of: not attacking, dangerous, and holding someone (hostage?) lead to the ‘incapasatate as fast as possible’ option. Then Sora (and Ven) could calm everyone down and explain the whole Replica Van vs Vani thing.

The keyblade wielder’s first intentions would be to get the ‘hostage’ (Cole) away from the ‘bad guy’. So Sora/Ven would have time to explain things before someone smacked Vani with a keyblade (or magic).

Q:When did Sora or Ven explain everything, like right after Monstropolis to explain that he found out about Ven's heart in him or did he just leave everything to the last minute.

A: Sora probably did mention Vani and Cole to Riku, Mickey, and Yen Sid the next time they went to the mysterious tower after the monster world. Or he may have called Riku+Mickey to tell them to not attack Vani and/or help him and Cole if they needed it.

Q:Also I'm curious about Ven's thoughts on the Vanitas Replica is it hate because he's acting like Vanitas used to or is it sadness over the fact that he knows how much Vanitas replica could change?

A: Ven probably has mixed feelings about ~Replivan~ (snort no XD) *Replica Van*. He’s probably worried what he’ll do, because he knows what Vani was capable of, but he’s also sad that Replica Van had to exist and how horrible it must be to exist like that (as a copy of a broken heart that was in enough pain in the first place). He’d probably feel more sympathy and want to help more than he’d hate him right off the bat, since *Ven*.

Q:Also does the Replica Vanitas know it's a replica and what does it think about the real Vanitas

A: Replica Van knows he’s a Replica. And, a lot like how Repliku started, he thinks he’s better, the ‘perfected’ Vanitas. Xehanort told him that Vani failed and abandoned the organization. So he sees himself as stronger and better than his ‘original’.

But that’s something for later~ :}c

Thank you very much for the questions! And thank you all for being so patient and supportive! I’m so happy you all are enjoying my story so much! \ ;v; / The next chapter should be out tonight or tomorrow! Thank you for waiting so patiently!

[asiryn]

so hey.......y’all remember when i said that sometimes, just for fun and the hell of it, i make lists of “endgame” ships in my fandoms? bc yeah, that’s a thing that i do sometimes. XD

having now finished kh3, i’ve finally finished my endgame ship list for kh, and i figured that it might be a fun thing to share!

the actual list i’m gonna put behind a cut, bc it’ll be hella long (bc seriously.....i put about 95% of the characters into ships, and this includes all of the humanoid-ish disney characters too (barring most of the villains, bc....well, those characters are dead)), but before that, i’ll give you some....idk, context behind this list. 

keep in mind, this entire affair is just like........gonna involve a fuck-ton of indulgence on my part. and most of this is fairly light-hearted. most importantly of all, this is pretty much a self-challenge: i paired up the majority of the characters just to see if i could, with the additional challenge that i could only pair them with characters that actually, canonically, have appeared in kh (this means that i couldn’t substitute in other final fantasy or disney characters); i did this to see how creative i could get with my ships, really. 

idk if i’ll ever actually get around to writing fanfic for this verse (tho i do have a lot of headcanons, and i’ve actually put (probably far too much) thought into how i think these ships would work/come about, and my long-suffering friend Ip, bless her, has been an incredibly good sport about being a sounding board for all this), but i tend to refer to it as my “Healing Vision”, and it’s basically a post-kh3 AU, that presumes that everyone but xehanort (and also eraqus) got to live happily ever after. and this verse is so named bc, apart from everyone being able to heal and be happy after the traumatic canon, i also wanted to do my absolute best to put them in.....idk, healthy ships, and not ones that i think would be more toxic. everyone had redemption arcs, is what i’m saying (even if they never did or would have gotten them in canon).

y’all don’t understand, at this point i probably have over a hundred pages in various word docs of notes about this verse, so please feel free to ask if you want to hear more about it, i need validation of my madness---

anyway, here we go!

just so that there isn’t just a massive wall of text, i’m gonna break this up into roughly 2 sections: square/original kh characters, and then the rest of the disney characters.

Square/original KH characters:

Olette/Xion/Namine/Sora/Riku [OXN, SoNami, & SoRiku], Shiki/Kairi/Selphie, Axel/Saix, Hayner/Roxas, Terra/Cinderella, Aqua/Larxene/Yuffie, Repliku/Vanitas, Ven/Beat [more friends w/ benefits], Xigbar/Luxord, Aeleus/Even, Ienzo/Demyx, Sora’s Mom/Dilan, (Cinderella’s) Prince Charming/Marluxia, Geppetto/Ansem, Tidus/Wakka, Zack/Cloud/Leon, Aerith/Tifa, Cid/Auron, Fuu/Tinker Bell, Seifer/Rai, Jack Sparrow/Setzer, Boo/Vivi [platonic], Rikku/Paine, Yuna/Elsa, Neku/Joshua, Rhyme/Snow White, Hiro/Pence, & Eraqus/Xehanort [together in death]

i have no idea what’s going on with the khux characters going forward, and atm they don’t really have anything to do this AU, but assuming they’re alive and they’re all their own characters, at least for the time being, those ships would be: Skuld/Strelitzia, Ava/Ephemer, Invi/Ira/Aced, Gula/Brain, and Sephiroth/Master of Masters (but again, these are more tentative, and i don’t actually care about these characters, really)

Disney characters:

(again, keep in mind that these are only the humanoid or really anthropomorphic characters; ones that are straight up animals, like simba for example, were not included)

Mickey/Minnie/Daisy/Donald/Goofy [M/M, D/D, MinDaisy, & qpt Donald/Goofy], Horace Horsecollar/Pete, Clarabelle Cow/Clara Cluck, Hercules/Meg, Tarzan/Jane, Aladdin/Jasmine, Ariel/Eric, Belle/Beast, Lumiere/Cogsworth, Will/Elizabeth, Quasimodo/Phoebus/Esmeralda, Kristoff/Anna/Rapunzel/Eugene, Maleficent/Aurora/Mulan/Shang/Phillip [Malora, Philora, Mulora, Mulan/Shang, Phillip/Shang], Alice/Wendy, Peter/Wendy [qpt], Peter/Tinker Bell [qpt], (BatB) Chip/Pinocchio, Anastasia/Chien Po, Yao/Prince (from Snow White), Ling/Drizella, Merlin/Yen Sid, Hades/Genie, Mrs. Potts/Flora, Merryweather/Triton, Hook/Smee, Doc/Grumpy, Blue Fairy/Dopey, Fairy Godmother/Happy, Fauna/Bashful, Slightly/Cubby [platonic], Calypso/Barbossa, Sam Flynn/Quorra, Queen of Hearts/Agrabah Merchant, (BatB) Wardrobe/Gibbs, Emperor/Sleepy [his cuddle-cubine, if you will], Grand Duke/Sneezy, Mike/Sulley, Woody/Buzz, Honey Lemon/Go Go, Wasabi/Fred, Baymax/Tron/Baymax, & Phil/Zeus

Assorted Notes:

- should probably mention that all the worlds are just vaguely All Connected Now

- ven and hercules dated in bbs (then the Plot happened, ven pretty much vanished, and eventually herc moved on. they’re a bit awkward with each other now, but they agreed it’d be too weird to even attempt to date now, bc herc outgrew ven while he was in a magic coma)

- zack’s alive bc they forced hades to resurrect him like he did with auron (my hc is that the deal he made with cloud in kh1 was to bring zack back to life, but hades reneged on this; when cloud finally shared this info with sora, a Quest was undertaken to get hades to honor the deal)

- repliku’s name in this verse is Kiru (he decided to go along with the Theme, minus the sigil); sora’s mom is named Hikari; and i’m going with henry and florian for the real names of prince charming and snow’s prince, respectively (marluxia will probably still call henry “charming” as a sort of affectionate and kind of joking nickname (bc in this verse, henry is the definition of a Disaster Gay))

- goofy and pete dated in the past, but broke up with goofy came out as aroace; pete’s still kinda bitter about it

- aqua/larxene/yuffie is 100% a thing bc i feel that aqua deserves to be able to have fun and not be the responsible mom friend for once; aqua and cinderella also have some playful flirting, but it’s never really serious

- terra’s getting a staycation with his girlfriend, and aqua’s getting a vacation with her girlfriends 

- olette/xion/namine/sora/riku is Peak indulgence for me; i love namixiolette, sonami, and soriku too much to want to choose between them? fuck it, they’re all smushed together in a poly pile now. this is my indulgence fic, i can do what i want, and none of you can stop me XP (the other sub-ship combos, riku with any of the girls, and sora with the other two girls, are more queerplatonic, ftr)

- there’s like a whole soap opera behind mickey/minnie/daisy/donald/goofy coming to their current arrangement, mostly bc the idea of giving all the Drama to these characters in particular amuses me; same with past goofy/pete

- a recurring Theme in this verse is that compulsory heterosexuality is the true darkness, and pretty much no one is straight (and so, light = gay) (this is how the final confrontation in kh3 truly went down: sora: kingdom hearts, is gay! / xehanort: shit...u right, bro. kk, lemme just fade into the light of gay with my bf then)

- sephiroth in this verse is mostly just a vehicle for me to be able to mildly punish terrible lightside mentors, so this ship with the MoM is kinda a cracky spite ship (before kh3 went all in on xehaqus, this was eraqus’s original fate XD)

- i will admit, gula/brain is mostly just me going, “you both really annoy me, and i don’t care to find you better ships, so you two can deserve each other”; to be fair to myself, this attitude was on the rarer side during this process

- hiro totally builds a robot body for tron to use to visit the outside world, tho he still chooses to live in the computer most of the time; tron’s besties with baymax 1 & 2

- i’ll be honest: scrooge, huey, dewey, louie, chip, dale, and possibly jiminy, by my rules, should have been put into ships. they’re not bc i couldn’t find any that worked for me *shrugs*

- phil is more like zeus’s on and off again boyfriend; he’s really fucking annoyed that he keeps having to train a lot of zeus’s offspring, and that he kinda, in a way, ends up doing more parenting for them than zeus does; currently phil is kinda claiming herc away from zeus (”i’m his dad now, so there”) (so at this point, their relationship is more of a hatemance than anything else) (i guess in my hc, zeus skews more towards being like his myth self than the disney version)

- the total number of ships, if you’re curious, is 75

- i’ve actually got queer headcanons for the square characters (excluding the khux squad), and some of the disney characters, figured out (as an example, namine is a demiromantic asexual)

okay, i think i’ll stop here for now, tho of course i might tweak or add things later XD

Three Little Words

*request by MorikoDrakas

*inspired by the characters of her side-blog, TheUnversedTwins

*Happy Valentine’s Day! ^w^

 All it took were those three little words, carelessly tossed into the air without a passing thought. Just that one simple phrase, and it left them reeling. They broke down like a goddamn schoolgirl, crumbling into silence and curling in on themselves. (Well, a schoolgirl that would bite your fucking ear off and then spit it in your face just to taunt you, that is.) It was ridiculous how much strength those words gave him over the usually so confident and suave singer, able to push him to such an extreme without even trying. He practically held their life in his hand.

 He hated that.

 Roku broke a few speeding laws on his way to the gallery, barely daring to glance down at the clock on his dashboard. He already knew how late he was running – Fucking stupid bastard, causing trouble for no reason! When he finally pulled sharply into the empty spot next to a dark motorcycle, Roku found his heart in his throat. The world whirled by as he leapt out and kicked the door shut behind him. He didn’t even bother to lock it – what kind of fucking idiot would risk stealing the car next to their bike?

 He threw open the door to the gallery, panting as he stumbled inside.

 The gallery was fairly crowded even at this time of the day, especially considering the holiday. Maybe it was common for art students to flock together – having always been the self-dependent type and not really the most social, Roku wouldn’t know. But it was easy enough to spot the couples from the singles; he pushed his way through, searching frantically. As he wandered around, Roku couldn’t help but notice the vibrant ink decorating most of the patron’s arms. It cheered him up a little to know that he blended in so easily. And who knows, maybe he could even get a few jobs in. Lord knows he needed them.

 At last her finally caught a hint of black and gold among the bustle of noise and clashing colors. Breathing a sigh of relief, Roku shoved his way through the crowd and attempted to casually saunter over to the duo. “… Yo. Were you waiting long?”

 Naminé spun quickly, her golden locks seeming to spiral out for a moment before drifting down again. Her smile lit up her brilliant blue eyes; it made his heart flutter slightly, and he couldn’t help but return it. “Roku!” she exclaimed, reaching out and grasping his hands. She held them close to her heart, practically glowing. “You really came! I was starting to think you might… I-I mean… it’s not like I doubted you or anything… I just-”

 “I had a late customer,” Roku cut her off, quick to reassure the nervous girl. “We had very different ideas of what ‘oh anything’s fine’ meant, that’s all. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”

 The raven-haired boy lounging next to one of the paintings snorted slightly at that. Roku glanced at him, easily holding his gaze. “Vanitas,” he nodded.

 “Babe.” They nodded back, then grinned. “Come on, you must’ve known Nami was gonna get all worried and shit! You should’ve just turned him away.” Their grin widened. “Either that or purposely fuck it up and throw their money back at ‘em for being such a dick.”

 Roku rolled his eyes, jamming his hands into his jean pockets. “Yeah, right. And what would you have done if I’d tried to pull something like that with yours?”

 Vanitas’ hand lingered by their belt, though their smile barely wavered. “Oh I’d have fucking gutted you,” he said simply, as though it were obvious. But that’s not the point.”

 “How is that not the point?!”

 Naminé made a face at the two of them, before something seemed to catch her interest. She darted back into the crowd of people and was gone before either of them could even blink. Vanitas and Roku exchanged a troubled look, before forgetting all about their argument and trying to catch up with their companion.

 Roku was the first to try and change the subject. “So, uh…” He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. “You had a show last week, didn’t you? Sorry I couldn’t make it – work came up. Your brother give you a hard time or anything?”

 “Nah, Vennie’s always like that. Don’t worry about it.” Vanitas seemed distracted, sweeping their gaze across the hall. They made their way easily through the throngs of people, not much different from a shark gliding through murky waters. Roku had a much harder time keeping up, stumbling as he bumped into one person after another.

 “…You should’ve dropped by though,” Vanitas finally added, glancing back at him. “They’d have let you in. No charge for cuties like you.”

 His ears reddened. “I told you not to call me that!”

 “I’m serious! We should plan ahead next time, maybe this weekend if you’re available. I’ll get you a backstage pass, and like… a signature or whatever. S’no big deal. People won’t even notice. It’d just be kinda nice to actually be able to see-”

 They broke off suddenly, expression twisting. “… Oh fuck me!”

 Was it his brother? Roku feared the worst as he followed his gaze. As soon as he saw the tall man lounging by a very nervous Naminé though, his eyes narrowed. Even from this far away he could still easily identify the smug look of a snob, someone who thought they knew everything about art. Someone who thought a small girl like Naminé wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a Picasso and a Dali. He’d grind her down and make her feel like nothing. Son of a bitch! He’d kill him for that.

 Roku ground his teeth, hands tightening to fists as he started forward. But Vanitas thrust out a sudden hand to stop him right in his tracks. “What the fuck!” Roku glared, shoving their arm away. “We can’t just stand here and do nothing! You seeing that shit? That bastard’s gonna make her fucking cry!”

 “I know.” Vanitas’ lips curled up into a faint smirk, even as his eyes burned. “I just wanted to check first – you want the legs, or his fucking head?”

 Roku blinked, a little taken aback by that. Though he really shouldn’t have been so surprised, knowing Vanitas as well as he did. Slowly, he grinned.

 * * *

 “You really didn’t have to do all that,” Naminé scolded, though the faint rosy hue to her cheeks told them otherwise. “That poor man might never walk again!”

 “Well he shouldn’t have messed with our Nami,” Vanitas shot back, taking a seat on one side of the booth. Roku nodding in vigorous agreement, quickly sliding in next to them so that Naminé wouldn’t have to sit next to the obnoxious singer. Vanitas countered by resting a hand on his inner thigh, smirking slightly. “He should’ve known better, the dumb fuck.”

 “But you could’ve gotten in trouble! It wasn’t necessary.”

 Vanitas just shrugged. “S’not like I haven’t spent a few nights in the jammer.” She started to protest further, but they cut her off easily. “Nami, relax. I already got everyone off our tail ages ago, nobody’s gonna randomly show off and try hauling us off to jail. We’re safe here.”

 Naminé still didn’t look entirely convinced, although she eventually lowered her gaze to the menu. Roku didn’t bother looking for his own meal, too focused on trying to figure out what Naminé would get. He’d probably just get the same thing anyways.

 After what seemed to be an eternity dragged by, a somewhat disgruntled waitress finally reached their table. She forced a smile, something Roku couldn’t help but admire considered the chaotic restraint around them. “Hiya folks. Can I start you off with something to drink?”

 “Just water,” Naminé nervously pipped up. Vanitas reached under the table to caress her hand, while Roku nodded approvingly.

 The waitress seemed to pick up on this, lingering a bit longer than she needed to. “Out on a date with your boyfriend?” she teased, clearly trying to make some desperate attempt at small talk to avoid moving on to her next table. The word seemed to hang overhead. She failed to notice the shock settling over the trio, and continued just as cheerfully. “You’re quite the lucky girl, he’s a real looker!”

 Vanitas sprang up from their seat, hand already at their pocket. “Excuse me?” they seethed, causing her to flinch. “The fuck did you just say?!”

 Naminé squeaked and ducked her head to stare uncomfortably down at her menu again. Roku grimaced, realizing that he’d have to be the one to fix things. He swallowed back his pride, sitting a little straighter in the booth. “Actually,” he kept his voice level and did his best to smile like his brother might, “Naminé is my girlfriend. And Vanitas is our partner. We’re all together.”

 The waitress immediately stammered her apologizes, blushing a deep crimson as she rushed away from the table. Roku knew she wouldn’t be back.

 You’d think he’d have gotten used to this by now, but somehow it never got any easier. Not with Naminé always shutting down like that, and Vanitas ready to tear somebody’s fucking throat out at a moment’s notice. He could appreciate such aggression, always being up in arms himself. But it still made it so that things always fell to him when things went to shit. Roku, the one who hated socializing and people to begin with, always had to deal with the dipshits jumping to conclusions. Ugh.

 He sighed, leaning back in his seat again and slumping down slightly. “The things I do for you two,” he grumbled. After a moment, he reluctantly reached across the table and fumbled for Naminé’s hand, then reached sideways to firmly grasped Vanitas’. The other two exchanged a look, the latter arching one pierced eyebrow.

 Roku stared unwaveringly at the two of them. “You’re just lucky I love you so much.”

 Those three damn words. Naminé blushed happily, giving his hand a small squeeze. But Vanitas immediately pulled back, his expression twisted. Roku knew he would, and he couldn’t quite mask the smirk hinting at the corner of his lips. Vanitas glared at him, then turned away as though to sulk. Roku just chuckled, before lowering his head to stare at the menu once more.

 * * *

 The rest of their day out was fairly uneventful, except for maybe that drunk pervert that decided Naminé looked like quite the treat. Roku had slammed him to the ground while Vanitas carved his fucking eyes out; but it wasn’t like that was anything new for the trio. By now Naminé didn’t even bother to flinch.

 Roku was the one to take them all home, loading Vanitas’ motorcycle into the back of his BMW before helping Naminé up. He didn’t say anything about the way the two of them slid into the backseat together, or the way they giggled back and forth almost the whole ride back. He knew they were looking through Naminé’s notebook again, and he grimaced to think of what new compromising positions she could have possibly put them in.

 At last they reached Naminé’s house and dropped her off. Roku watched intently until she got to the front step, his heart fluttering again when she smiled in that innocently charming way of hers and waved. He smiled and waved back, before turning to Vanitas. “You can move up if you wan-” he started. But before he had a chance to finish that thought, Roku suddenly felt himself yanked forcibly forward by the fingers knotted in his hair.

 It wasn’t romantic in the slightest, Vanitas mashing their mouth against his and cramming their tongue down his throat. It was barely even a kiss, just pure aggression, a fight for dominance. But it wasn’t supposed to be. Vanitas was trying to make a point, trying to prove something. Roku knew that better than anyone.

 He refused to rise to the bait, resting a hand against the side of Vanitas’ face in an almost caressing gesture. Roku did his best to keep his touch light, his kiss even gentler.

 It didn’t take long for Vanitas to pull away again, ripping their fingers out from Roku’s hair and taking a few tuffs of silver with them. Roku winced. Vanitas didn’t seem to care, glaring again. “You son of a bitch,” they spat.

 Roku just smirked back at them. “I love you too.”

 Vanitas snarled something about just walking home you bastard, kicking the car door open and leaving their beloved bike behind. Roku just watched them go, until he was sure they really weren’t coming back for it. At last he sighed, tugging the door closed and starting up the car. He’d drop it off next weekend, after they’d had some time to cool off. That’s how these things always went.

 Those three simple words could bring everything crashing down. It brought out the worst in them, put everything on the line. But that was exactly why he always used them. Nothing else could get such a response, could make Vanitas feel so much. That’s why Roku loved to do it.

 Shaking his head and smiling, he drove off.

Y’all I need replivan today. Sorry y’all, I’m betraying the vanven shippers

Vanitas may be taller, but Roku is much stronger.

Although Riku can’t hold a note to save his life, Roku isn’t half bad. Occasionally, Vanitas will invite him on stage and they’ll sing duets together.
