[[File:Poor__Poor_Vexen_by_Oriana132_8328.jpg|frame|<small>[[Room 101|Let's just say it's]] [[LazyTown|not been Vexen's day.]]</small> ]]
 
Once upon a time, in [[Kingdom Hearts|The World That Never Was]], at [[Brick Joke|an indeterminate time of day]], Xaldin, Vexen, and Lexaeus encountered a monster that was destroying the Organization by taking their... [[Unusual Euphemism|you know]]. Immune thanks to them being "ugly" (a [[Big Bad|teenage fanbrat]] is in control and clearly doesn't realize that <s>these three</s> Lexaeus is [[Author Appeal|MANLY]]), these three nobodies embark on a world-hopping journey to save their comrades, battling the gutless and [[Shout-Out|countless pop culture references,]] in an attempt to restore logic, sanity and good humor to the fanfiction universe, all while protecting their groins [[Groin Attack|from assault]] by the Semes. Who are kind of like [[The Heartless]], but instead of hearts, are disembodied, um... you know.
 
Yes, really.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2903858/1/Those_Lacking_Spines Those Lacking Spines]'' is a ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fanfiction written by Gexegee of [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1020616/Organization_VI Organization VI]. As a [[Meta Fic]], it parodies just about every aspect of [[So Bad It's Horrible/FanficFan Works|bad fanfiction]]. Xaldin, Vexen, and Lexaeus race through [[Alternate Universe|alternate universes]], and encounter a wide variety of [[Fanfic Tropes]], including [[Slash Fic|Slash Fics]], [[High School AU|High School AUs]], [[Self-Insert Fic|Self Insert Fics]], [[Song Fic|Song Fics]], [[Crossover|Cross Overs]], [[Crack Fic|Crack Fics]], [[Wangst]], and [[Canon Defilement]], while keeping the plot of [[The Virus|Gutless]] changing the remaining members of Organization XIII into [[Seme|shadows]] [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|of]] [[Uke|themselves]]. Along the way, it viciously lampoons several other franchises, lovingly mocking everything under the sun in a brilliant, hilarious (and sometimes long-winded) romp through fanfiction itself.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]] - To a video of a ''bee'' pollinating a ''flower''. It's Marly-dono, people.
* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]] - The [[V for Vendetta]] reference, anyone?
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]] - Xaldin's sideburns.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] - The heroes have landed on the City of OC, subverted the [[Mary Sue]]'s intimidation power, easily destroyed Marly-dono's prospective army, and are about to storm his lair. "Agh! And they're throwing their unconscious bodies into my beautiful rosebushes! THOSE WERE RAISED BY HAND, YOU BASTARDS!"
Line 28:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - Too many times to count.

Line 60:
* [[Never Say "Die"]] - Xaldin actually states himself that "the Organization never says die!"
** Which makes it even more hilarious when Larxene appears and (literally) ''does'' say "die" just seconds later.

* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] - Jeffiroth's 100-piece orchestra includes this in its music, followed by an echoed “'''''JEFFIROTH'''''!”
Line 111:
{{quote|It was unfortunate for the Grand Master Fangirl that this sickly little idea was not any ordinary idea—it was a being that ''lacked'' a brain, a heart, a ''spine'' and most importantly, it lacked… you know.}}
* [[To Make a Long Story Short]] - Twelve chapters too late.

* [[Viewer-Friendly Interface]]
* [[Wangst]] - Zexy-poo's trademark.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]] - Vexen is terrified of cake after being tortured with the ''[[LazyTown]]'' cake song.
