''[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 [[Horrible/Fanfic|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.
 
----
Line 14:
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]] - 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!"
** "Organization XIII was not a nice group of sort-of-kind-of-former people. They toyed with minds, they twisted relationships, they used lives as tools, they manipulated innocents, they spread chaos, they captured hearts, they lengthened the lines at the DMV and they commanded Heartless."
* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]] - “Let’s attempt Maneuver 35, shall we?”
Line 27:
* [[Bold Inflation]] - Doubled, with Jeffiroth ('''[[Running Gag|JEFFIROTH]]'''). "He was so [[Badass]] his [[Genre Savvy|font was bolded]]."
* [[Bowdlerise]] - Parodied with the Gutless' name. Vexen "was going to call them the Nutless, but Disney put their foot down. Some nonsense about not scaring the children and lawsuits, something about [[The Little Mermaid|a VHS]] [[Freud Was Right|cover]] or something."
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] - "The Saïx we recruited is stoic, collected, and mildly psychopathic with a sadistic twist."
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - Too many times to count.
* [[Brown Note]] - [[Squick|"I can't see. I cannot see. My retinas have committed suicide."]]
Line 65:
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] - Jeffiroth's 100-piece orchestra includes this in its music, followed by an echoed “'''''JEFFIROTH'''''!”
* [[One -Winged Angel]] - Jeffiroth, in his second form, turns into a seven-winged one [[Clipped -Wing Angel|(though he's easily beaten)]].
** Interestingly, the original [[One -Winged Angel]], Sephiroth, had seven wings.
* [[Original Character]]
* [[Otaku]] - As a type of Gutless.
** [[Fan Dumb|And they rip each other apart while arguing over]] [[Spell My Name With an "S"|character name spellings.]]
* [[Overly -Long Fighting Animation]] - As part of Jeffiroth's second form transformation.
* [[Overly Long Name]] - '''''x-x-''M'''''arley-'''''dono''''' '''C'''r'''I'''m'''S'''o'''N'''f'''L'''o'''W'''e'''R''-x-x'''''. (sic)
* [[Parody Sue]] - [[Overly Long Name|Sakura-Rose Sunblossom Orange Juice Annie-Marie McFate ]]
Line 76:
* [[Playing the Heart Strings]] - Coupled with [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]].
* [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]: Inverted with Jeffiroth - Hair Makes Your Power Grow. And when one attacks said hair...
* [[Precision F -Strike]] - Vexen executes one in chapter 12.
* [[Prepare to Die]] - Against Xuxastell:
{{quote| “Nevertheless,” Lexaeus still had his fierce gaze locked on the imposter Nobody as he pulled his tomahawk up out of the ground. “Larxene is our comrade-in-arms and we will not stand for what you have done to her. In the name of the real Organization XIII—prepare to die.”}}
Line 92:
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]
* [[Shout Out]]: To [[Finding Nemo]], of all things: Sora's ridiculous last name in Chapter 2 is "Wanahakaruugi".
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] - Several times.
{{quote| [Sakura-Rose:]“You’ll never defeat me, you hideous beast, because I represent all that is pure and good and light in the world, and YOU are an evil creature with no heart and I have a heart and it holds nothing but love for ALL LIVING THINGS! And you’ll never be able to scare me, either! My will is as strong as stone!”<br />
“Really?” Lexaeus asked lamely, and with the slightest movement of his hand, Sakura-Rose was crushed to death beneath two tons of [[Irony]] and a gigantic summoned slab of rock. }}
Line 99:
* [[Solve the Soup Cans]]
{{quote| [[Lampshade Hanging|“Of course, this object is not going to be anywhere nearby. Oh no. It’s going to be locked up on the complete other end of the tower, behind six other locked doors, also sealed by ridiculously complicated keys and puzzles. Maybe even pieces of keys and puzzles, which we will have to run off and fetch in the most ludicrous of places before we can even think about getting out of here.”]]}}
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]] - Invoked to get a horde of [[Otaku]] Gutless to tear each other apart over whether to use Aeris or Aerith (or Vincent/[[Gratuitous Japanese|Binsento]]).
* [[Sssssnaketalk]] - Sssssecks.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] - The Riku from Destiny Sanctuary Peak High School Academy Grammar School totally isn't gay or anything.
Line 119:
* [[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 ''[[Lazy Town]]'' cake song.
