Line 2: Let's face it: by the very nature of its setting and storyline, this series is a breeding ground for good fanfics. And it really couldn't get any stranger than a [[Star Wars\|Yoda-like]] Mickey, [[Tempting Fate\|right?]] These are recommendations made by [[Troper~~\|Tropers~~]]s for ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''[[Zapped (wiki)]]'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be. ~~Remember to warn for [[Useful Notes/Trigger\|common triggers.]]~~ Add new examples at the bottom of the section, please. ~~----~~ == Authors and Websites == [http://community.livejournal.com/figment_tree/?tag=%21kingdom+hearts Figment Tree] and [http://quakewithfear.livejournal.com/tag/kingdom+hearts Quake With Fear]{{Dead link}} * Recommended by ~~[[Tropers/L Guardinal~~\|L Guardinal]] * [http://community.livejournal.com/figment_tree/?tag=%21kingdom+hearts Figment Tree] and [http://quakewithfear.livejournal.com/tag/kingdom+hearts Quake With Fear]{{Dead link}} are two great authors. Figment Tree mostly has gen one-shots, with a bit of slash/het, and one on-going (possibly dead) AU, ''Institution XIII''. Quake With Fear has more slashy stuff, but the vast majority of her work is very dark and very gory (she's startlingly good at describing pain and guts. Not for the faint of heart, or stomach), with some one-shots and a few on-going fics (or rather, one on-going fic, and a few starts). [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1173812/Shire_Folk Shire Folk] who is writing the series "The Annals of Darkness." (Divided into [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3425579/1/The_Annals_of_Darkness_The_Beginning "The Beginning,"] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4175461/1/The_Annals_of_Darkness_A_Week_of_Troubles "A Week of Troubles,"] and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4796468/1/The_Annals_of_Darkness_The_War "The War."] * Recommended by ~~[[Tropers/~~Shadic The Hedgehog~~\|Shadic The Hedgehog]]~~ * Shire Folk is an excellent writer who has sent waves throughout the [[Kingdom Hearts]] fandom. He popularized the [[Portmanteau Couple Name\|Rikuffie (Riku/Yuffie)]] pairing, amongst other things. The story has Maleficent as the main villain, who crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] several times throughout the trilogy. Shire Folk mostly manages to stick to canonically Disney worlds, with only one or two side-steps to completely unrelated worlds. [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/140978/FlikFreak FlikFreak] * Recommended by Handle2~~, whitesouldragon~~ * Several engaging stories including a TWEWY Crossover. ** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4863771/1/Returning_Home Returning Home] is a particularly excellent example of this author's work. Even if it does seem to be [[Dead Fic]] after only two chapters, those two chapters are ''definitely'' worth reading, as they are the most realistic interpretation of post-canon events this troper has ever seen. [http://ts-soliloquy.livejournal.com/tag/%5Bfandom%5D%20kingdom%20hearts ts_soliloquy]{{Dead link}} * Recommended by tropertea * Has a very interesting take on Org. 13 that you don't see everyday, particularly on how Namine meshes in in with the rest of the group, despite being rather vaguely defined. [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1389324/Xanrivash Xanrivash] * Recommended by Mariko-chan~~, Monsta.~~ * Has just a little over sixty stories about Kingdom Hearts, and focuses mainly on the friendship of Axel, Demyx, and Roxas. She also takes alternate routes about the former two Somebodies, AND covers plots that most wouldn't think of doing. She has at least two [[Original Character\|OCs]] that joined the Organization, but besides focusing on how one was recruited, none of her fics are focused on them. Be warned, though; a few of her fics are [[Tear Jerker~~\|Tear Jerkers~~]]s, and, if you're going from a happy fic to a depressing one, [[Mood Whiplash]]. ~~[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/300408/Luc_Court Luc Court]~~ * This guy's been mentioned multiple times, so let's put him here: ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2941935/1/A_Sorrow_of_Magpies A Sorrow of Magpies]'' by Luc Court * Recommended by [[Tropers/Quillpaw\|Quillpaw]], [[Tropers/Ccoa\|Ccoa]], [[Tropers/Daikiwixep\|Daikiwixep]], [[Tropers/Socrathetic\|Socrathetic]], [[Tropers/Nadrixam\|Nadrixam]], [[Tropers/Quanyails\|Quanyails]] * ''Synopsis'': ''A Sorrow of Magpies'' shows the formation of Organization XIII, mostly focusing on Vexen. It starts with the formation of the original six, and the formation of their base, then gradually adds on the newer members. * ''Comments'': This is a truly amazing story. * Just the right amount of humor to leaven the drama. For a miracle, it doesn't characterize the organization as tragically misunderstood [[Anti-Villain\|antivillains]], but as truly dark individuals. Despite the fact that all of the core six cross the [[Moral Event Horizon]], you still want to keep reading to the end. All the characterizations are spot-on and the story works with the KH canon almost seamlessly. Definitely a must-read. * Though ''A Sorrow of Magpies'' is a fan backstory to ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', and only the main games (1, CoM, 2) are used as a guideline, it still develops Organization XIII to the point it's canon, like stated above. Likewise, Luc Court doesn't see some characters as their twisted versions in [[Fanon]], but as who they truly seem to be. One point that piques this troper, though, is the [[Purple Prose]]-ish writing in the story. * The author, though very good, does have a habit of purple prose in ''all'' his fics. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3097594/1/Pastoral_Symphony_in_Blue_Minor Pastoral Symphony in Blue Minor]'' by Luc Court * Recommended by Flight * ''Synopsis'': When Yen Sid gets a mischievous water spirit called Myde for a servant, he doesn't expect to actually grow fond of him, but he especially doesn't expect the whispers of shadows beyond the borders of music to stretch closer. * ''Comments'': This is non-canon, but a very good story concerning the origins of Demyx. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2975148/1/Scheherazade Scheherazade]'', another by Luc Court * Recommended by ~~[[Tropers/~~Thinks Too Much~~\|Thinks Too Much]]~~ * ''Synopsis'': One-shot regarding Namine in The World That Never Was, before the start of the Castle Oblivion project. More accurately, it's regarding every member of the organization having to put her to bed, and each of their different variations on a bedtime story. *** Fascinating, full of [[Mood Whiplash]] done ''right'' - or more accurately, a story with a lot of funny moments but told in a very wistful, tragic tone. Lyrical and oddly touching, with intriguing imagery and with hints of a tribute to stories. According to the author it's a tie in with the above-recced ''A Sorrow Of Magpies'', but you don't have to have read the first. Line 55 ⟶ 43: * Reccommended by BlackPearlPrincess * She only has 6 stories, all of which are currently completed but the quality of the writing and the length of those stories is truly astounding. Her shortest multi-chapter story has just under 75,000 words and her longest has 220,000 for gods' sake! She's also published a oneshot with 20,000 words. She has enough skill to dip in and out of different genres with each story and not make it seem like a noob writing it. She focuses on different couples also. For example, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5310512/1/The_City_is_at_War The City is at War] is a crime thriller focusing on the Cloud/Leon pairing while [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4019929/1/Haunted_by_an_Angel Haunted by An Angel] is a supernatural drama with Riku/Sora. ~~[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1675896/LordMoldybutt Lord Moldybutt]~~ * Recommended by Dommie222▼ * This guy has written some of the most awestruck [[Mega Crossover]] fics ever to been created. He has written an entire saga that takes place after ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' with 365,593 words combined, in there the characters makes some more awesome adventures. Here are the stories: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4499651/1/Kingdom_Hearts_The_Taste_of_Darkness Kingdom Hearts: The Taste of Darkness]: It's the very first volume of Lord Moldybutt's saga. It start out somewhat weak but around chapter 6 it quickly becomes awesome, when Sora falls into the darkness, and then it gets even more awesome when it crossovers with ''[[Star Wars Episode 1]]''. Thats right, KH crossovers with SW and, as expected, it doesn't take long before it becomes epic. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4521361/1/Kingdom_Hearts_One_More_Adventure Kingdom Hearts: One More Adventure]: The second volume of the saga. This time, [[The Black Cauldron\|The Horned King]] enter the stage as the main villain who tries to claim Kingdom Hearts' power and that alone should tell you how awesome this fic is. ** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4909170/1/Kingdom_Hearts_Shadow_of_an_Empire Kingdom Hearts: Shadow of an Empire]: The third volume of the saga. The guys returns to the Star Wars universe, this time around the time of the original trilogy. The fic tells the heroes' advantures and struggles as they allies with the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. The fic takes a little more deeper look into the characters than the last two fics as how the strange galaxy and the battle between the light and the dark sides effect the characters' mind, thoughts and feelings. An recommendation to both KH and SW fans. The only sad part is that it hasn't been updated since 2009. [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1431742/Z_Alexander Z.Alexander] * Recommended by Axisfiraga * If you're a fan of Axel and Roxas, you should check her out for sure. You don't have to like them as a pairing to enjoy her bizarre but ever interesting characterization of the two...it's so different, but the more you read, the more it grows on you. She also goes on to write with Larxene, and I have to say, I don't think I've ever met someone who can keep to her character so well, and give an actual realistic vibe to her behavior. Her stories do tend to be AU, but man, are they awesome. Some of her stories: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5312880/1/Eine_kleine_Nachtmusik Eine Kleine Nachtmusik]: This story focases heavily on Larxene, and her characterization in a modern world. She feels as though she isn't real, like at any moment she will fade away, but she's steadily trying to keep her head above water. You see her weakness, but with her spitfire dialogue, it's hard to anchor which type of person she really is. It's a bittersweet story eventually unfolding into Larxine with sprinkles of Akuroku, but the pairings are not what drives the story. Her strong character keeps you reading, because something is pricking at your nerves like something is going to happen. A surefire ~~recomendation~~recommendation to anyone who is a fan of these characters, or who wants a new view on how humanity can be seen through the eyes of someone who is sane, but is looking through broken eyes. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4862061/1/Loveology Loveology]: ''We'll learn to love each other, if it's the last thing we do. And if we run out of time, at least we'll know what we had was real. [[Aku Roku]]. Larxiné. [[So Kai]].'': The story is viewed through three sets of eyes -- Roxas, Larxene, and Axel. This isn't about pairings, it's about bonds and understanding, but I would be lying if I said this didn't have a dark undertone. Roxas sees the world through numbers that nobody understands. Larxene knows what it's like to kill. Axel knows what it's like to watch someone close die. Somehow, through it all, they found one another and live through routine. But routine is fragile, and they're slowly forced to try and cope when cracks suddenly start to form. If you want a peak into the heads of those three, this is definitely the story for you, and you won't be disappointed. == General Fics == Line 73 ⟶ 53: ''[[Those Lacking Spines]]'' by Gexegee/Organization VI (meta, parody, crossover) ▲* Recommended by ~~Dommie222~~Fleb * Recommended by [[Tropers/Fleb\|Fleb]], [[Tropers/Nadrixam\|Nadrixam]], [[Tropers/Quanyails\|Quanyails]], [[Chaosof Ages]], [[User:Ellamew]], [[Tropers/Gamerex 27\|Gamerex 27]] * ''Synopsis'': When Organization XIII is laid low by a new enemy called the "Gutless" that attacks its victim's... [[Insistent Terminology\|you-know]], it's up to the Organization's ~~manlies--er~~manlies—er, surviving members to save the day. Along the way many common fanfiction plots are roasted and Organization XIII watches [[Moulin Rouge]] It's also hysterically funny.

Unlike most fics, it is more like a walkthrough for a fictional game, going into detail about game mechanics and setting details, with an additional emphasis on bosses. * [[Tropers/Ry Senkari\|Ry Senkari]]: Note from the author, the parts of the story concerning {{spoiler\|Xion}} were [[Jossed]] by ''Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days''. Just a bit of a warning there.

In any case, it's hinted to be just another part of the game rather than a display of affection or lust. * Comments: Words cannot do it justice. It is dark. It is beautifully written. It stays true to the characters and blends seamlessly with canon. Its conclusion is both abrupt and haunting.

One journey. * ''Comments'': Wonderful story, if a bit rough around the edges. The author manages to write yet another 'It's AU and they are high school students' fic without falling into the cliches that litter most other 'normal' ~~[[A Us]]~~AUs. The author is the son of a PA, and it shows with the amount of research that has clearly been done. He manages to handle a sensitive subject without being unbelievable or over the top. * ''Warnings'': It would be hard to write a story with four cancer patients without including at least a little character death. Line 575 ⟶ 531: * Recommended by: suadela, moooomoooo * ''Pairings'': Sora/Riku and Sora+Roxas friendship * ''Synopsis'': It's about growing up, mostly. Sometimes it's about love and sometimes it's about friendship. Sometimes it's about hockey. But sometimes it's about the difference between what's real and what's fake, between being a boy and being a man. * ''Comments'': I'm not usually a big fan of AU high school stories, but this one is honestly one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read. I would pay money to buy this in book form if it were available. * ''Warnings'': Rated Mature for language, drug use and sex. Line 584 ⟶ 540: * ''Pairings'': Zemyx, AkuRoku (Which seems to be bigger than the Zemyx at points), Sora/Riku * ''Synopsis'': Closeted band geek, Demyx, suddenly gets the urge to join the high school marching band when he sees Zexion, a member of the drum line. This story details his adventure though the marching season, and how all the relationships grow and change with band drama. * ''Comments'': One of the best AU's I've ever read for this paring. Not only are the characters all very in character, but it really captures that marching band feeling: including the drama, friendships, after parties, cheesy speeches, and why people do love the marching band.
