After the Mark of Mastery exam, Riku became a True Keyblade Master. Even though he failed, Sora congratulated him with a big smile. But is Sora really happy for his friend? Is he truly okay? After all, Riku's not the only one battling the darkness, not the only one with regrets and promises. The difference is, Riku is strong, but is Sora truly as bright as his "friends" think he is?

Or will the darkness consume the light?

There's soriku and slight akuroku in here. Both can be taken as romantic or platonic, friendshippy feels, but there's nothing "official". Just teasing like in the games. :)

® T for safety and possibly disturbing themes. Any extra warning will be mentioned at the start of the chapter. There may be out of character moments, especially on Sora's part. Oh, there's also some swearing, but I'm not sure there's a lot of people who'd be bothered by that.

Expectations and a Golden Stitch-A DreamError/Insomnia Fanfic by HappyWriter62
50 parts Complete
Dream always felt the weight of expectations on his shoulders and they've only grown worse now that he's a Star Sans. Save this AU, rescue that person, stop Nightmare over there, and make X person smile! It's a never-ending cycle of tasks and he gets asked more about why he hasn't done it sooner or defeated his brother yet than thanked for what he accomplished. He feels trapped in this position and doubts if he didn't have his positive aura that anyone would care for him. Most like him for the joy he brings or what he can give them. Nobody around him ever feels genuine without a doubt in his head. Add in the stress of protecting one Star Sans(Swap) and keeping the other(Ink) from starting trouble and you have a positive guardian ready to break under expectations. Then you have Error, the destroyer of AUs. His reputation speaks for himself and builds all the expectations he needs whenever he steps foot into another AU. He's as bad an omen as a black cat crossing your path. Others assume he is bad because of his "freakish" or glitching appearance. He has accepted these but it gets tiring when he already has the voices bossing him around or Fate reminding him that he should do more destruction. But he doesn't limit himself to destruction. He watches UnderNovela, admires the stars, and appreciates what he can. He pushes the limits of what is expected of him or disregards them completely. A trait that Dream eventually finds himself admiring in him, the known enemy of his friend. He knows that Error's feelings are genuine since he doesn't change in his presence(still an angry manchild). So when Dream gets wounded and stuck with Error on a whim, where will it take them? Will it be a mistake remaining in a hatred of enemies or will it change them both for the better? Could this admiration open Error up to corrupting Dream or will he be the influence Dream needs to against expectations and live for himself?

Cross Worlds by SoraOrionOkami
114 parts Ongoing Mature
Riku Fumiya, a 17 year old boy in high school. He's a loner, a geek, and somewhat of an otaku, and is bullied in school for it, just as any other kid with similar traits in high school would be. Originally, he didn't mind it because he always had video games and anime to look forward to when he returned home. However, after going over the same routine over and over again, day after day, Riku has grown tired of it all; tired of life itself. He's slowly begun to lose his once bright and cheery personality and lost the will to care about...anything. "Will I have to continue living life like this until the day I die? No friends, no family, no life. I just wish it could change." Riku is granted that wish. Almost as if by fate, he wakes up the next day in a room he does not recognize. When he looks in the mirror, he is still himself, but his body is drastically different. The technology around him is much more advanced than any he's ever seen before. The world outside this strange home is just as unfamiliar to Riku. It doesn't take long for Riku to figure out that he has swapped bodies with himself from an alternate universe; a world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and technology only heard of in science fiction. What happens when things do suddenly change for Riku? We'll just have to wait and see. WARNING: If you choose to read this novel, you are confirming the fact that you knew that this is a mature novel beforehand. There is SEXUAL CONTENT, EXTREME VIOLENCE, MENTIONS OF SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION, and a bit of GORE in this book. Read at your own risk
Kingdom Hearts 1 (Female Sora AU) by egmwilson2016
7 parts Ongoing
The events of the Kingdom Hearts Saga if Sora and Kairi had been born the opposite gender. Soraya is an average tomboyish girl living on the Destiny Islands with her two best friends. Riku, who had been her closest friend her whole life (so close that they were practically siblings), and Kai, a sweet and creative boy who she had a slight crush on. One day, when Soraya was fourteen, her life changed forever when darkness invaded her home, and only she had the power to combat it. Little did she know that she was the prophesied Child of Destiny. ***I've loved Kingdom Hearts for years. I have all three main games. I've seen a couple genderbend fanfictions about it before, which were really good, but I thought I could elaborate more. Only Sora and Kairi are genderbent in this fanfiction. I do realize that Sora is a Japanese unisex name, but I associate it too much with a boy character to use it. Soraya is a Persian name that means "star cluster," which I feel fits perfectly, and Kai is a unisex name that means "sea" in Hawaiian, which also works well. There will be no POVs in this fanfiction. Kingdom Hearts is the property of Square Enix and Disney. Found inspiration for Kai's design on Google Images. (Copywrite is the last thing I want). I only own the genderbent versions of Sora and Kairi. So please enjoy my first entry in my genderbent Kingdom Hearts Saga. Also, I may include some more detailed information about some characters. Spoiler alert to all those who are not as savvy about the subject. (Although I do recommend seeing the YouTube channel "damo279" to hear his well researched "explained videos" on the Kingdom Hearts history and mysteries).
