“Our Little Connections” and “Sweet Victory”
Characters/Pairings: First drabble: Sora, Axel/Roxas. Second drabble: Sora/Kairi/Riku.
Warnings: NOne
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: 1: Sometimes, Sora is confused by his emotions. 2: Sora takes Kairi and Riku to visit a very special person.
Comments: The first one is just… it works so, so much for me. Because this is how Roxas must have felt watching Axel *spoiler* and I just wrote out five sentences of gushing that I had to delete for spoilers. So. It’s good and I loved the intensity of the emotions. The second drabble, I didn’t like quite as much as the first, but oh my god Sora is adorable. And I can totally totally see them doing this.
Two separate one-shots, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel, Naminé, Someone
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: After CoM and before KH2, Axel meets with new allies.
Comments: Moonsheen does an amazing, amazing job of capturing the not-quite-human aspect of the Nobodies. And her characterization of Axel in particular, but really all of them, is just wonderful. And watching NaminĂ© question Axel about his role in the events of Chain of Memories is just really interesting. I had to reread it once to understand, but I think that’s because I’m not familiar with novel canon, which this is partially based off of.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Sora/Kairi/Riku, Axel/Roxas
Warnings: Very non-graphic sex
Summary: On memories retained and cracktastic pseudo-porn
Comments: Okay, shorter than I usually like to rec, but I absolutely cracked up at this. Because the key to writing the good crack is to make it vaguely plausible, and this is something I can so totally see happening. Which ups the humor level by infinity.
One-shot, complete.
Reason
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: Axel and philosophy and being a Nobody.
Comments: The first time I read through it, I didn’t particularly like it. I reread it though, because I felt that I missed something the first time, and everything just clicked into place. It’s a brilliantly characterized fic about Axel, mainly, and the nature of Nobodies. Oddly, I like Axel studying philosophy, because to me, the logical thing to do after becoming a Nobody would be to read philosophers about what the nature of the human heart is. And I really like the way Axel and Roxas’ relationship is written, because it’s more sharp-edged and dangerous than usual. And as much as I am a shameless fluff hor, this feels like a more realistic depiction considering the nature of the relationship.
One-shot, complete.
First Impressions
First Dance
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas, Org13
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep. Look, all the KH2 fics I rec have spoilers. I don’t even recall if I even bother saying that they have spoilers all the time.
Summary: Organization XIII meets XIII. Axel is intrigued.
Comments: I like the way the author portrays the Organization. I like the darkness and ruthlessness, while the author maintains the sheer dorkiness that caught my attention to the Organization in the first place. (Although the dorkiness level isn’t really quite as high as I’d like.) I love Larxene in this, especially, but then I’m rapidly falling for Larxene in a major way.
Linked one-shots, ongoing.
Best Imitation
Characters/Pairings: Sora/Riku/Kairi, Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Lots
Summary: Sora decides to do a play. Roxas helps. Post-KHII.
Comments: As always, moonsheen writes the best fics. It’s sparkly and fun and sad in the right places and works. And Sora is adoreable, and his conversations with Roxas, while sometimes kind of confusing, are just right.
One-shot, complete.
We Do Too
Characters/Pairings: Demyx, Xigbar
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: “Demyx wakes up in a new and confusing place as a new and confusing creature. Fortunately, someone is there to give him a helping hand.”
Comments: I have a major, major soft spot for Demyx. He’s just so adorable, and I occasionally like the flaily inept characters. Okay, very rarely. Almost never. But damnit, I like him anyway. Largely because of authors like this, who write about him so nicely that I just kind of have to like him. Also, cue cards are always funny.
One-shot, complete.
Initiation
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas, Demyx
Warnings: None
Summary: “Teasing Demyx is a time-honored Organization pasttime.”
Comments: Just a short humor fic that actually managed to be funny. Pengiesama was one of my favorite humor authors in the Prince of Tennis fandom, too, just because she has that ability to write something one short step above farce in such a way that it’s actually funny. And damnit, that’s rare.
One-shot, complete.
Naught’s Requiem
Characters/Pairings: Sora, Riku, Kairi, mentions of Axel and the rest of the Organization
Spoilers: Yep
Warnings: None
Summary: After, Sora remembers
Comments: This is what I wanted after watching a certain scene of Axel’s on repeat until I had the damn thing memorized. Something that acknowledge the Organization for being people, damnit. And I’m already touching on spoilers and not going to say more.
One-shot, complete.
Torch
Characters/Pairings; Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: Axel takes Roxas to a beach that Roxas doesn’t know.
Comments: I just love the characterization, and the teasing. The entire fic just worked for me - Axel’s teasing, and Roxas’ reaction, and the whole premise of it. And just, I’m already getting to the point where I don’t read Axel/Roxas fics unless I know the author elsewhere because I’m getting really amazingly sick of seeing wangst, but this just made me grin and want to read every single Axel/Roxas fic that shows up on my flist.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Roxas/Axel
Warnings: Not particularly graphic sex
Summary: Roxas tops.
Comments: Okay, this is hot. Really hot. And I love the “You’re not short” bit. And the way Roxas totally and completely tops Axel. And really, everything about this fic.
One-shot, complete.
The Plan
Characters/Pairings: Sora, Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, Leon
Warnings: Crossdressing
Summary: Yuffie and Aerith trick Cloud and Leon into a contest, and Sora into judging.
Comments: I just thought it was cute and funny. I liked the multiple endings, with all the different ways it could end. And Aerith and Yuffie manipulating them like that amused me to no end.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Saix/Axel
Warnings: Non-con sex
Summary: Saix attempts to punish Axel
Comments: Okay, I have to admit. Saix/Axel is kind of one of my OTPs, in that incredibly fucked up way. I love the sheer amount of damage that sex between them would inflict. And if it’s done right, Axel’s just as formidable as ever and holy fuck is that hot. And this drabble captures everything I absolutely love about that pairing.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: Axel makes a different decision.
Comments: I love well-done fix-it AUs. And I love the way chibimazoku absolutely nails Axel’s characterization. And what more is there really to ask in a fic?
One-shot, complete?
Servants of Masters
Characters/Pairings: Roxas, Organization 13, Dusks
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: A look at how Dusks’ natures are intertwined with their masters back at the World that Never Was during the events that took place at Castle Oblivion.
Comments: Really a fascinating look at them. The part where Roxas had to deal with his pet Dusk made me go “daww…poor little thing” but then, I’m a sucker for anything remotely resembling pets. And it’s just- I hadn’t seen any sort of fic that really just looked at Dusks’ relationship with their masters before, and I really found it interesting.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Sora, Roxas, Kaoru, Hikaru
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Er. None in the drabble, some implied in the Things to know about CFUD section.
Summary: The twins meet Sora and Roxas
Comments: This is just short, cute and funny/
Things to know about CFUD: Both Sora and Roxas are there. They have been recruited by Tamaki as the CFUD branch of the Host Club’s resident twins.
One-shot, complete.
Entrapped By Glass
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas examines Axel’s hands
Comments: Wow. For a fic in which the most physical contact is hands touching, this fic absolutely drips sexual tension. I love the way the author wrote Axel’s reactions to Roxas, and Roxas’ almost idle curiosity.
One-shot, complete.
elegy to embers
Characters/Pairings: Axel, Sora, Roxas
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Yep
Summary: Axel, and what remains even after.
Comments: …Someone want to explain what I can say about this that won’t spoil anything, and I’ll happily say something, besides that it’s really good and made me sad.
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Roxas/Axel
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas and Axel discuss cats
Comments: Okay, tooth-rottingly sweet, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. And the world needs more good Roxas/Axel fluff
Things to know about CFUD to read this: Axel gave Roxas a kitten. Isn’t that cute?
One-shot, complete.
Untitled
Characters/Pairings: Axel/Roxas
Warnings: None
Summary: Roxas proves his existence through ice cream
Comments: This is just cute and angsty and fluffy and everything I love in fics. Yes.
Things to know about CFUD: Izumi is the teacher of Ed (from Fullmetal Alchemist), and she recently taught Roxas how to make ice cream. Also, not exactly important to understanding the drabble, but fun anyway, the thing posting the drabble is the Wang Fairy, which inhabits Lee’s (from Naruto) soul and gives him blissful amnesia when Sakura abandons him. I ♥ CFUD.
