[naarwhall]

Little something for TA Winter Wonderland, I chose the prompt ‘Chilly’ ^_^

[xiiiwayfinders]

Aqua: Do you have a date for Valentine’s Day?

Terra: Yes, February 14th.

Aqua: ...

When your besties are a little too supportive.

Day 4: Old

So, originally I was gonna do just the base design and their new outfits, but I had a sudden spark of inspiration to show Aqua caressing some of Terra’s old scars.

Do you have a favorite KH ship?

I don't know how to exactly put this, but I don't truly ship anything in KH really, anymore. I've kind of reached a state where it kind of happens in the context of whatever relationships and dynamics I'm exploring between characters, when I have an idea, and the ship kind of works as a mirror to the theme. A good example is that I've never shipped AkuSai at all, yet just yesterday I had inpiration strike, and am thinking about exploring a certain topic with them..!

BUT. ..If I had to pick something, I guess TerrAqua has become my main ship to explore. There's so much potential there still untouched by the canon, yet so many layers already exist in their dynamic.

.. when I was much much younger it was SoKai and SoRiku, and I think that affects me to this day. I think that echo still exists in my art, undeniably. (Those two probably being the true answer to this question) ..But as I've gotten older, I relate much less to the fumbling teen energy trying to sort themselves and each other out, and therefore am more interested in the older characters in terms of romance.

A long winded answer for such a simple question!

For the ask game: 13 and 14. Plus 17 for Kairi.

13. What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day?

There's a bunch for stories that I am writing and stories that I plan on writing that I just haven't gotten to. In Heart of Steel, I plan to bring in Superman, the Arrow cast, the Flash cast, and other DC heroes, plus various associated ships (Lauriver, WestAllen, Throy, Nyssara, etc.). In Kingdom Hearts - Destiny Vault, I've yet to bring Xion, Terra, and Ventus in, with associated ships Rokushi, Terraqua, and Ventus x Alice (Wonderland). And then there's everything I have planned for the Gryphonverse- Ben 10, Lilo & Stitch, Miraculous Ladybug... not sure how much of what I laid out I will actually write. With those associated ships (Ben x Lilo, Adrigaminette, Chlobrina)

14. Is there a character or ship you were so sure you would never write/draw but now you've changed your mind?

I used to be against Soriku, but nowadays I am more neutral to it by itself and I've become fond of SoRiKai

17. What's a book, movie, or show you think Kairi would like?

I think she would like The Wizard of Oz, Supergirl, a lot of Disney films, Avatar The Last Airbender + Legend of Korra, Miraculous Ladybug (for the most part, at least), Septimus Heap, Nimona, Marvel movies, the lighter/more balanced tone DC fare

[raidergamerspice]

The next meme I'm sharing before I head out for the day (don't worry, I'll get them all out before the day ends!) is one I made for Terraqua! I sadly don't see a lot of love for this ship nowadays, but maybe I just need to look harder!

I had to go with one of my favorite songs of all time: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri! 🥰🧡💙

[wayfindergalaxy]

A morning kiss before starting the day

I'm back with more Terraqua art because I love themmmm!!! This time, it's some domestic fluff!

Really hoping to make more art of them, lets hope college is nice to me fjdngkdfn

(Oh yeah that extra blanket is there because it's actually a headcanon I recently came up with for Aqua! I like to headcanon her having that blanket as her comfort item, so yeah!)

Touch Cravings Chapter 1

~1400 words. Set post-KH3. Terraqua, Aqua and Ven friendship, and background Sora/Kairi. Grief, Angst, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Touch Starvation, Friendship, Romance.

Summary: Aqua is dealing with the effects of her time in the realm of darkness and then the grief of losing Sora. Thankfully, she has Ven and Terra to help her get through this chapter of her life.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

(Companion piece to Touch Hunger [Chapter 1 | Chapter 2]).

The events of the Keyblade Graveyard haunted Aqua. When that Demon Tide had come after them, she had frozen up like a coward. Locked in the past, stuck in a memory. It was like all those Heartless were her phantom selves, taunting her, tormenting her, reminding her of all those years she’d been stuck alone in the realm of darkness and her inability to do anything about it.

They all should’ve died that day, but Sora and Kairi had come to the rescue. Kairi by stubbornly refusing to let go and lighting Sora’s way, and Sora by tracking down every single one of their hearts until he reached her. Together they’d brought everyone back. And then Terra had finally broken free of Xehanort not long after. Hugging him and Ven again had felt so wonderful that the harrowing experiences of that day faded slightly.

Until they’d lost Sora. The price he’d paid to rescue them, to rescue Kairi…to go against what fate had ordained…he’d settled the debt with his own life.

Aqua sighed and curled in on herself. That brave, kind boy, risking everything to save her and Terra and Ven…she sometimes asked herself why he’d done it. She could still see his big bright smile in her mind’s eye, still picture the hand he’d offered to lift her up out of the water, out of the darkness and into the realm of light again. It didn’t feel like he was really gone. It had happened so suddenly. One moment he was sitting on the paopu tree on Destiny Islands, real as can be. The next he’d simply vanished. 

Aqua still couldn’t get Kairi’s cries out of her mind, and it had already been a week. Everyone’s tear-streaked faces would forever be etched in her mind and heart too. Some things you just didn’t forget. 

The other things you did. Time seemed to flow differently, much like in the realm of darkness, and Aqua felt like she was in a strange fog. The days blended into each other, and though Terra and Ven were here, she felt distant from them. They all grieved differently. Ven cried a lot, Terra withdrew, and she ruminated constantly. On and on and on, over and over again, wondering what she could’ve done differently.

There was a knock on her door. She sat up, the blanket falling off of her, the chilly night air making her shiver.

“Come in,” she said, and a moment later, she was greeted by Ven’s hollow expression and red, puffy face.

“Need a hug?” he asked softly. 

“I think you do, Ven,” she said softly, holding her arms out. “And yeah, I think I do too.”

They had an agreement: Ven would give her as many hugs as her heart desired. He’d figured out pretty quickly how starved she was for human contact after all that time spent alone in the realm of darkness.

If only Terra would offer hugs like that. At first he had. At first he’d been overjoyed to be reunited with her and Ven and had given them so many hugs it made her heart sing. But then Sora had disappeared, and she wanted to give him his space as he grieved. For the years lost, for everything he’d been powerless to prevent, for what she and Ven had gone through. For Master Eraqus’s final goodbye. And for Sora’s cruel fate.

The three of them had already made plans to search for Sora, but picking up the pieces was still tough. So she gave Ven a hug, and the ache in her heart and the years of loneliness faded a little. No matter how many affectionate touches she got from friends, it felt like she was still paying back a debt to herself she hadn’t realized she’d owed.

She wondered if she’d ever feel “normal” about touch again.

“I can’t sleep,” Ven admitted. The dark circles under his eyes were proof enough, but she was glad he was being honest with her. Irony of ironies that the boy who had spent so much of his life in slumber was now struggling to sleep.

“I’ve heard it’s common to either not be able to sleep or to sleep too much when you’re grieving,” she said, gently ruffling his hair.

“I wish I got the sleeping too much version of this grieving stuff then,” he muttered. “Then I could escape in my dreams for a little while at least.” 

“My dreams aren’t much better,” she told him sadly. “And then I wake up and I remember all over again that Sora’s gone. It’s like waking up in a world I don’t want to be in.”

Master Eraqus’s passing was heartbreaking, but he’d lived a good, full life, and Aqua had had a decade to come to terms with it. She’d gotten to say goodbye, too. But Sora? There was nothing she could rationalize about his disappearance. There was no closure. He was young and had had his life cut short due to the machinations of a cruel, selfish old man.

“Yeah, me too,” Ven said. “He saved us all. But at what cost?” He pulled away a little to search her face, as if she might have the answers. But she didn’t have the answers. How did you bring someone back who hadn’t died a normal death but had been completely banished from this entire realm?

“We’ll just have to save him too,” she told Ven, because it was the right thing to tell him. “That’s how we’ll make it up to him.”

She didn’t see how else they could do it. Maybe the collective strength of their hearts would be enough to save him. His heart had been enough to save all of them, after all. Granted, that heart was strengthened by all the connections he’d made, but she and Terra and Ven and all his other friends were those connections. They were his living, breathing legacy. Surely that counted for something.

“Yeah,” Ven replied. “It’s the least we can do.”

She and Ven comforted each other for a while after that, talking about what had happened and where they might find Sora. Ven went to bed a few hours later, exhausted at long last, and she couldn’t help the queasy, panicked feeling that rose in her gut as he closed the door behind him. 

Alone. She’d spent so much time alone. Terra and Ven’s backs were always to her. They were always walking away, always leaving her behind. She could reach and reach for them all she wanted, but they wouldn’t turn around and grab her hand. The one person who had grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the darkness was gone. He was in a pit of despair of his own now that no one could reach. Their savior needed saving, and she could only imagine how scared and lonely he must be. Cut off from everyone and everything he knew and loved.

She couldn’t help herself. Hot tears stung her eyes and wove sticky trails down her cheeks. For Sora and for herself. Sora deserved all her tears, but crying for herself was completely selfish. Irrational. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got with herself. Why was she crying? Terra and Ven were still here in the castle with her. They hadn’t left her behind and hadn’t willingly abandoned her to the realm of darkness for all those years. And yet she couldn’t help but feel completely and utterly isolated and alone.

“Stop that, Aqua,” she muttered, scolding herself. “You’re not alone. You’re back here in the realm of light with your friends. Sora’s the one you should be crying for, not you. You don’t deserve any tears. If you hadn’t frozen up in the Keyblade Graveyard, Sora wouldn’t have had to rescue everyone, and if he hadn’t had to rescue everyone, then saving Kairi later on wouldn’t have killed him.” She scowled angrily at the teddy bear holding a red heart that Terra had gotten her to make up for being such a downer about her Keyblade Master ceremony.

“Some Keyblade Master I am,” she told it. “I’m nothing but a failure. A weakling.”

“I disagree,” came a soft, low voice from the direction of the doorway. She squeaked and dropped the teddy bear. Ven must not have closed the door all the way, because she could make out someone else standing in the doorway.

“Terra?”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: I posted Touch Hunger a little over two years ago, and at the time a guest commenter said I should write a companion touch starvation fic about Aqua. Well, that stayed in my head ever since, and I finally found the time and spurt of inspiration to write it. The next chapter will be posted next Friday. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed!

[share-the-skye]

Okay I’ve got Thursday and Friday off this week and am craving writing something KH related but not working on my undead abomination of a longfic (T_T don’t speak of it)

Sooooooo would anyone like me to write them something? I’ve never done this before but I’d be down to work off prompts or requests if anyone’s interested. No promises on length but knowing myself it’ll end up being several k words long 😅 I just need a little extra focus/incentive to get me started.

Options I’d be interested in:

A)Interactions between Sora and any Disney character he’s met (favorites would be Ariel, Punzel or Remy but I’m open!)

B) HPO teaching Roxas, Xion and/or Naminé any variety of normal teenage thing

C)Something more specific about Lea and Kairi training in the hyperbolic time chamber with Merlin

D)Sora, Riku and Kairi doing *something* on Destiny Islands either pre-KH1 or between KH2 and Dream Drop

E)What if Roxas and/or Xion had a mission to this Disney property during Days?

F)What if *insert character(s) of choice* wound up in *insert intellectual property* at *this point* in the KH timeline for *this reason*? (If I don’t know the property in question apologies in advanced)

E)SFW ship scenario (yeah this one’s really vague but I’m broadly interested in writing something simple and cute)

Ships I’d be super excited to write: SoRiku, SoKai, SoRiKai, RiKai, SoNami, RikuNami, RokuNami, RokuXi, RokuNamiXi, NamiXi, RoxNer

Ships I’m not as well versed in but I’d be willing to try: RokuKai, SoRoku, KaiNami, RokuVen, VenVan, TerrAqua, LeaIsa, probably others if you wanna ask

Not super well versed in KHuX and DR so sorry if that’s your jam- I’m not particularly interested in much of that outside of how it impacts Ventus and Vanitas, though Strelitzia is an exception to that.

If you’d like something you can reply, reblog or send me an ask! I can’t imagine this’ll get a lot of traction but just in case, I’m only gonna be able to do one or two of these. I might hold onto ideas for later if there’s something I really want to make but I run out of time. If you ask for something I’ll let you know either way.

[oveliagirlhaditright]

What’re your favorite kh ships?

If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.

That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:

SoKai

RokuShi

Namiku

RokuNami

Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)

Gulava

Skulmera

Playerlitzia

YozoraNameless Star

Xehaqus

AkuSai

SoRiKai

RiKai

Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)

I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.

I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.

SoNami in CoM only.

I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.

VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)

A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.

And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.

I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.

[xionandpluto14]

Alright Nat I was on 2 hours of sleep and 3 cans of coke and thought of this

So Sora has Roxas’ memories and knows Xion’s feelings from diving into her heart

The result?

He knows they are down bad for each other

The problem?

They have no clue how to romance each other because they've only been alive for 3-4 years

The solution?

He, Kairi (because Xion is her sister and she lives for romance), and Riku (because he feels guilt for the stuff he did in days and is a useless gay) engineer romantic shenanigans to get them together

BUT PLOT TWIST

Ventus having lived in Sora’s heart for 11 years knows that Sora is also down bad for Kairi and Riku

So he enlists Naminé (because she lives for the romance novel this is becoming and she knows about the lovestruck yet guilty memories that Riku has for Sora and Kairi) and Lea (who sat through weeks of Kairi gushing about her boys and just wants them to kiss already)

This leads to their romantic hijinks intersecting with the other group's romantic shenanigans for a romantic comedy of errors

Where does this leave us?

Xion and Roxas (totally unaware)

Sora, Riku, and Kari (Trying to get Rokushi canon)

Ventus, Naminé, and Lea (Trying to get Sorikai canon)

And we have Aqua and the Disney trio be so so confused

absolutely

and idk how you feel about the ship, but

everyone collectively trying to get Terraqua canon
