'''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5740264/1/Fill_the_Moon Fill the Moon]''''' is a popular ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' [[Alternate Universe]] [[Fanfic]] by ''Damned Lolita''.
So the story goes; a new Nobody joins the Organization, makes friends, finds a way to Kingdom Hearts, and falls in love. That's a nice story.
Line 6:
It's not this story.
''Fill the Moon'' is a story about a little Nobody girl trying to protect the adults around her and deal with the consequences of being a child trapped in the webs of budding sexuality. It is a story about pure and absolute evil delighting in the corruption of innocence; it is a story about hollow gods and the beasts that lurk within them. There are no white morals; there are black morals and there are grey morals. There are heroes and villains and people who can't make up their minds about which they would rather be.
There are fathers and brothers, teachers and lovers, friends and families; there are hundreds upon thousands of stories, all snatched from the fringes of time and space. Every story comes together in a gossamer web made of the people that make up the Kingdom Hearts universe, connecting them all by the fine threads of life, love, happiness, and hope.
That is the kind of story that ''Fill the Moon'' and ''One Great Circle'' provide. They're stories about friends, enemies, lovers, and sometimes, they're just about giant robots and sentient sitars. They are worlds unto themselves, with the depth of characters and settings to match.
''Fill the Moon'' started February 12th, 2010 and ''One Great Circle'' started April 9th, 2010. Both are written by the same author, who prefers to go by the name Ari.

{{tropelist}}
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]
* [[Alien Geometries]]
* [[Alternate Universe Fic]]
▲* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]--Sort of played with in universe. Xaldin, who is twenty-nine and hasn't had sex until around the fiftieth chapter of OGC, is as canonically badass as he is in Kingdom Hearts. However, he is teased for this by the others occasionally.
* [[Anachronic Order]]
▲* [[Action Girl]]--Larxene, Kairi, Senayax
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]
▲* [[Alien Geometries]]--According to the inhabitants, the Castle that Never Was can often get...quirky. It's very fond of "staircases that lead to nowhere" as well.
▲* [[Alternate Universe Fic]]--While the fic itself qualifies as one, (Word of God states that the only thing that remains mostly unscathed, canon-wise, is the first Kingdom Hearts), the author has also mentioned that One Great Circle will probably have AU-verse chapters, mostly to serve as parodies or deconstructions.
▲* [[Anachronic Order]]--''Fill the Moon'' covers around one part of the entire Mooniverse. Three-fourths of all the canon and backstory come straight from ''One Great Circle'', which started much later than Fill the Moon, and is still on going.
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]
▲* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]--Both Hollowmoon and {{spoiler|Kingdom Heart's form when she takes Senayax's body}} count as this.
* [[The Atoner]]
▲* [[Apocalyptic Log]]--Yasena's diary. Mother of god, Yasena's diary.
▲* [[Arc Words]]-- Open Your Eyes.
▲* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]--Demyx has taken this to a science. When you can slap Lexaeus out of his sorrow, you've got skill.
▲* [[The Atoner]]--In some ways, Ansem becomes this, especially after {{spoiler|meeting his Apprentices for the first time in ten years after a battle at Hollow Bastion.}}
** Xemnas goes through this too, especially after {{spoiler|it becomes apparent that the order he gave for Zexion to impregnate Senayax would kill her.}}
* [[Author Appeal]]
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]
* [[Back From the Dead]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Family]]
**The Radiant Garden family also counts as this as well; six scientists, three of whom are trained in combat, and one of which builds giant robots [[For Science!|for science]], along with their teacher/father, who is basically a [[Badass Grandpa|wise old king who can and will kick your ass if you push all the wrong buttons?]] It HAS to qualify.
* [[Berserk Button]]
** As for Xigbar himself, just...don't mess with Xaldin. Just don't.
** Actually, almost all of the Organization has one of these, usually relating to their lovers. Larxene does not like men touching her, {{spoiler|due to her husband raping her,}} Saix ''will'' not tolerate insults against his master, Xemnas, and hurting Vexen in front of Marluxia is not. A good. Idea.
** Once Senayax arrives, the whole Organization's biggest berserk button comes from anyone laying a hand on her in any way, shape, or form. The feeling is responded in kind, which is why {{spoiler|Senayax beats the everloving hell out of Sephiroth after he tries to kill Xemnas by fighting dirty.}}
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] -- Bread, beef, eggs, milk, coffee creamer, flour, sugar, oranges, fruit juice, the toasty souls of the damned...
* [[Break the Cutie]]
** Poor little Ienzo...
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]
**Not only that, but there's Braig. Braig is a battle-hardened, vicious, deadly warrior, who has five brothers, all of whom he would do anything for. You don't lay a hand on ''any'' of the Apprentices without Braig riddling you with arrowheads.
** The Hollow Bastion crew are trying to take the mantle of older sibling up for Senayax. Due to the conflicting sides of this trope, (the Organization's instinct versus theirs), it can get messy.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]
**{{spoiler|Kingdom Heart's 'true form' has shades of this.}}
* [[Body Horror]]
** {{spoiler|The final time she does it just before committing suicide is probably the most grotesque; she becomes a hybrid of herself and Hollowmoon, due to her trying to hold his influence back and failing.}}
* [[Girl of My Dreams|Boy of My Dreams]]
* [[Cheerful Child]]
** {{spoiler|Even after being knocked up and almost-murdered, she retains that sweet innocence and love for everyone.}}
* [[Children Are Innocent]]
** Little-kid Demyx plays this one pretty straight too. He's sweet, kind, polite, and trusting...even when he really shouldn't be. {{spoiler|The best example, of course, being when his big brother tries to murder him.}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
** Demyx and Senayax are both pretty dippy. While Senayax has an excuse, being much younger, Demyx is just...spacey. He's so sweet though!
* [[Creator Breakdown]]
** [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|She did.]]
* [[Creepy Child]]
** Plus, creepy children can also be "children who know too much about things children shouldn't really know about," like sex, violence, and the atrocities of humans. She's seen and {{spoiler|been a part of}} all three.
** And aside from that, she's [[The Heart]] of a [[Badass Family]] that only ''grows'' {{spoiler|after the Organization gets their hearts back.}} This family consists of trained supersoldiers, skilled warriors, assassins, mercenaries, sorcerers, and scientists. All of whom she trains under. [[Person of Mass Destruction|Now think about what that implies.]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]
* [[Dances and Balls]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
** There appear to be hints of everyone else having one of these too, and none of them seem to be particularly pretty...
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Does Not Like Men]]
** She does, however, get along with Marluxia. It's just that he's very, very gay.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]
** The whole Taffymeat sequence is just so WRONG.
** Really, anything Hollowmoon does or is involved with is filled to the brim with this trope. Particularly when he's talking to Senayax.
** An almost funny example; Senayax is just on the edge of puberty, is "trapped between a child and a woman," uses ''blood'' as her weapon, and {{spoiler|turns into a super-powerful, completely insane monster whenever she feels threatened.}} Does that sound like anything familiar...?
*** Even worse due to the fact that it was completely unintentional; [[Word of God]] outright states that she was only trying to use "an original weapon/attribute" alongside a way to slightly de-squick a relationship. Hollowmoon was just...his normally disgusting self as an afterthought.
* [[Doorstopper]]
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]
** Although a few characters ''do'' play this trope straight, in the sense that they {{spoiler|do get their hearts back.}} Plus, they're simply not as big of a villainous organization in this story.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Eats Babies]]
* [[Empathic Weapon]]
** Though it's already sort-of implied in canon, the Keyblade is directly stated to be this.
* [[Evil Is One Big Happy Family]]
* [[Evil Tastes Good]]
* [[Eye Scream]]
* [[For Science!]]
** On the lighter side of the trope, Even's numerous experiments. Some are [[Noodle Incident|incredibly messed up noodle incidents]], others are fondly referred to by the others as "the giant robot incident" or the "zombie hamster incident" or the "vivisected bunnies incident..." the list goes on and on.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]
** Well, he's cute and sweet unless you're Zexion. Then he likes chewing on your leg.
* [[Freak
** Demyx hijacks a pirate ship, drowns around a hundred Heartless, attempts to murder the pirates of the Black Pearl, and summons a hurricane after Xigbar is slightly wounded in a fight with Barbossa.
** And after Zexion's {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Senayax,}} she flips out and struggles against Hollowmoon before {{spoiler|committing suicide on Sora's Keyblade.}}
* [[Freud Was Right]]
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]
** {{spoiler|It's also been declared through Word of God that Hollowmoon, as the darkness inside Kingdom Hearts, has absorbed Senayax's darkness much like the Moon's own.}}
** Throughout FtM there are constant mentions of the Velveteen Rabbit. The Organization goes through a large amount of horror to get to where they are; their quest to get their hearts back is a long, hard one, physically and emotionally. The story of the Velveteen Rabbit is just as much a story about the Organization XIII, trying to be Real, and suffering greatly for it, but ultimately {{spoiler|succeeding.}}
Line 101 ⟶ 98:
** Another minor one; Squall becomes rather attached to her as well. He's simply trying not to fail like Ellone did.
** In the recently-released Valentine's Day special, all of the couples get a segment minus Axel and Roxas. Guess which romance arc hasn't been released yet...
* [[Fridge Horror]]
** How exactly ''does'' a huge monster like Hollowmoon fit inside a little girl's body?
** {{spoiler|''Quite comfortably, little sweetmeat...''}}
Line 108 ⟶ 105:
** This one is sort of Fridge Squick, but Hollowmoon was probably watching when {{spoiler|Zexion and Senayax had sex.}} He certainly seemed rather happy about it...
** When Nobodies die, their bodies fade into darkness. {{spoiler|Kingdom Hearts (somehow) kept Zexion and Senayax's bodies from fading when they died. But if Senayax did fade away, what would have happened to the baby?}}
* [[Fridge Logic]]
** Actually, from what we see of Yasena, she seems like a rather intelligent, curious child; not bad, but not good. {{spoiler|Except for murdering the boy that tried to rape her, but that might have been Hollowmoon...}}
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
** To wit; while the Organization overall seems to be entirely neutral towards the Heartless, she is often seen playing with them and petting them. A running gag initially is that she wants a pet, and she actually gets her wish; her Heartless, Sunny Jim.
* [[Giggling Villain]]
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]
* [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]] --Add foul mouthed Nobodies to the Hundred Acre Wood. The results...
{{quote|
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]
* [[Ho Yay]]
** What's even funnier is that the author completely acknowledges that she "accidentally made them completely gay with each other," and intends to make fun of this when she goes into their time as Apprentices.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]
** Additionally, the practice of the original six referring to themselves by their Somebody names on occasion can also fall under this.
** Isa and Lea, too; they never call each other anything else.
* [[The Ingenue]]
* [[Keet]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]
* [[Knight Templar Big Brother]]
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]
** Braig and Dilan especially, which persists even after they become Nobodies.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]
** Kairi seems to be counting so far, and considering the author's open scorn for the [[Chickification]] of Kairi, this trope is most certainly going to run its course.
** As of {{spoiler|the fight with Ansem at the end of the world, in which she receives her Keyblade, curbstomps the Heartless surrounding Ansem, and helps Sora open the Door to the Light}} the answer to that is "yes, Virginia, Kairi is a badass."
* [[Love Before First Sight]]
* [[Mama Bear]]
* [[May-December Romance]]
** Technically, Zexion and Senayax count; both are underage, but there's about a four year age difference between them, {{spoiler|which, sadly, does not stop Senayax from getting impregnated.}}
* [[The Messiah]]
** Pre-Senayax's arrival, Demyx seems to be the Organization's de facto Messiah. He's sweet, he's kind, he's gentle, he's suffered horribly for his entire life but is willing to do ''anything'' to help his family, and just overall might as well get himself a halo.
* [[Mind Screw]]
** The Taffymeat Sequence counts too.
* [[Motherly Scientist]]
* [[Morality Pet]]
** Namine seems to play this trope towards Ansem, who would be much more of a cold, embittered, hardened [[Jerkass]] without her.
** Sunny Jim, the Organization's (mainly Senayax's) pet Heartless, also counts.
** Xigbar, due to his more [[Knight Templar Big Brother]]-esque tendencies, has his very own in the form of his lover, Demyx.
** Likewise, due to Axel's occasional forays into the [[Heroic Sociopath]] side of his personality are abated by {{spoiler|his lover,}} Roxas.
* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]
** Not to mention the beast himself; Hollowmoon is constantly described as having "needle-fangs" or "needle-like teeth," all crammed into a narrow, reptilian mouth.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[Oblivious to Love]]
** Saix isn't much better on this front, anyway--he is adamant that their is simply a "master and pet" relationship, which opens up a whole other can of worms...
* [[Older Than They Look]]
* [[Papa Wolf]]
** The author doesn't seem to be able to decide if she wants Ansem to be this or a lover for Namine.
* [[Powered
* [[The Power of Love]]
** Senayax can work this power on damn near anyone.
* [[Rape
**Played painfully, depressingly straight with {{spoiler|Larxene's backstory.}}
* [[Really Gets Around]]
* [[Shout
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]
* [[So Proud of You]]
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]
* [[Take That]]
** There's also a subtle dig at the censorship in the NA games.
{{quote|
Three little Mickey Mouse icons had replaced his sniper sight. Xaldin's eyes widened in amazed terror. }}
* [[Team Mom]]
* [[Team Pet]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]
* [[Tragic Monster]]
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]
* [[True Companions]]
** The "Golden Trio" of Sora, Kairi, and Riku.
Line 183 ⟶ 180:
** The Apprentices are an even stronger subset. From [[Team Dad]] Lexaeus, [[Team Mom]] Vexen, [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] Xigbar, the "kids" of the family, (Xaldin, Xemnas, and Zexion), who aren't exactly slouches in the badass department either...you mess with any one of them, and the rest of them will ''break you.''
** {{spoiler|Once the Organization get their hearts back}} the entirety of the cast basically becomes this.
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[The Unintelligible]]
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]
* [[Yandere]]
** Axel seems to be shaping up to be this toward Roxas, type 1 wise.
{{quote|
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]
** Yuffie can also qualify as one of these.
** The Author, openly admitted.
* [[You Need to Get Laid]]
