This fanfiction, written by IluvAUs on fanfiction.net, is set post-''[[Kingdom Hearts 2]]''. It goes off of the [[Wild Mass Guessing|somewhat insane fan theory]] of [[Kingdom Hearts|Riku and Sora]] being related to [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth and Cloud]], though it manages to avoid the typical [[Die for Our Ship]] implications that many others of the same ilk run into, and is fairly well written. It
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]- Kairi's molding into one.
* [[A God Am I]]- Sephiroth.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] - Kairi, after witnessing {{spoiler|an armada of ships Sephiroth commands orbitally bombarding Radiant Garden}}, gets [[Unstoppable Rage|really pissed off]], and proceeds to {{spoiler|run right into the ravaged town square to the Gummi Ship, pilot it, and single-handedly manages to destroy a nice fraction of Sephiroth's forces.}}
** Vincent also gets one on Notre Dame as he {{spoiler|overcomes his inhibitions about using Chaos form, and proceeds to rescue Kairi from being burned at the stake.}}
** Four words. [[BFS|Keyblade.]] [[And This Is For|Omnislash.]] [[Death
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] - Kairi trying to get the boys' attention {{spoiler|while Esmeralda is dancing.}} Pushed into CMoF territory by the fact that {{spoiler|VINCENT, of all people, is also affected by her charms, and it is only with great effort that he can focus.}}
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - {{spoiler|Vincent and Riku have a surprisingly heartwarming chat after witnessing Quasimodo being passed over for Phoebus by Esmeralda about their own [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited loves]].}}
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
** And Vincent is also quite the snarker...
** Quistis, in her introductory line to Squall.
* [[Deal
* [[Doomed Hometown]]- [[Final Fantasy VII|Well]] [[Kingdom Hearts|duh]].
* [[Dramatic Irony]] - Sephiroth and Hojo have a little discussion about [[The Reveal]] which Sephiroth, without too much testing, gave to Riku. {{spoiler|Sephiroth is speaking with his (unbeknownst to him) father about his son, Riku.}}
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
** {{spoiler|Riku seems to swing back and forth between this and grabbing the Villain Ball... Sometimes doing the latter to be Genre Savvy.}}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]- Kairi does this to Sora before her Rousing Speech to get him to fight Sephiroth following {{spoiler|Riku's death}}.
* [[Go Mad
* [[Hannibal Lecture]] - It's a fanfiction with SEPHIROTH as the main villain. This trope is GOING to come into play.
** And Hojo, well, being {{spoiler|Sephiroth's father}}, is quite good at this as well.
Line 104 ⟶ 103:
* [[Please Wake Up]] - {{spoiler|"Kairi? K... Kairi, please. Please, wake up."}}
** {{spoiler|"Riku, get up, this isn't funny!"}}
* [[Post
* [[Precision F-Strike]] - Riku is none too pleased with not getting a straight answer. "Stop dodging the question, and answer me, damn it!"
** And, in what could qualify as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMoA]] for Vincent, he says to Hojo {{spoiler|[[
** Riku, once more, when confronting his mother, loses his temper a bit- implying she was a street walker.
** Sora claims, rightfully so, that Riku's parents were never married when he discovers what almost happened to Kairi...

* [[Sanity Slippage]]- {{spoiler|Kadaj. Oh so much.}}
** {{spoiler|Riku. [[Go Mad
* [[Secret Test of Character]] - {{spoiler|The Derris Emblem tests.}}
* [[Sequel Hook]]- "It seems the Palamecian Empire has placed a fleet in the airspace of a neighboring world, in direct violation of the World Order."
* [[Ship Tease]] - Very much in keeping with the source medium, the author has hinted several times towards Sora and Kairi being the pairing, though Sora's sometimes unusually strong reactions to what happens to Riku hint more towards the [[Ho Yay]] seen by [[Yaoi Fangirl|yaoi fangirls]] in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
* [[Shout
** [[Final Fantasy VIII|"I'm not a child. I can do this."]]
** [[Batman Begins|"I'm not going to kill you. But that doesn't mean I have to save you."]]
** Sora has a little talk with Cloud about his motive for going after Sephiroth. After denying it's about revenge, Sora calls bullshit, and suggests that he and his friends go to help, and Cloud inexplicably loses his cool, shouting [[Star Trek: First Contact|"NO! Nooooooo!" while overturning a table]].
** [[Tales of Phantasia
** [[Code Geass]] even gets a wink when Riku muses to himself {{spoiler|as the island burns around him}}.
** [[Revenge of the Sith]] gets a nod in an exchange between Riku and Sora.
Line 135 ⟶ 134:
* [[This Cannot Be!]]- Kadaj, as an homage to the Tales Series, lets out a massive one when when he's about to be struck by an [[Memetic Mutation|IN-DIG-NAY-SHUN]] based spell.
** {{spoiler|Riku utters the 'impossible' variation on this when Sora stabs him.}}
* [[
* [[Took a Level
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]] - Riku, in classic [[Heroic BSOD]] form, takes this position after discovering the [[Awful Truth]].

Line 153 ⟶ 152:
* [[Where I Was Born and Razed]]- {{spoiler|Riku [[Star Wars|has too much of his father in him]], and does this.}}
* [[Batman Gambit]] and [[Kansas City Shuffle]]- Sephiroth has been running a massive one from square one. {{spoiler|He only ever created or hired his minions [[Kansas City Shuffle|to serve as distractions for the heroes as he made whatever preparations he needed]] to in order to become a god, [[Batman Gambit|counting on their utter need to save people]] from distress and death to keep them busy.}}
* [[You Are Too Late]]- Sephiroth began the final stage of JENOVA's fusion with Kingdom Hearts [[Watchmen (comics)|thirty-five minutes ago]].
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]- {{spoiler|Given their genetics, Riku and Sora were pretty much destined to drift apart and turn against each other at some point.}}
