I'm not usually into yaoi, but this is still just a really really well written story (and hilarious!).

I do have some questions about how this is categorized though, considering it's not really Kingdom Hearts canon at all - they just took some of the characters. The reason to use these characters to using OC characters instead seems to rely almost totally on just having a good visual picture of what they look like. And I guess just think more about them if you really like the characters.

Kingdom Hearts fic discovery! by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-04-02 03:44:00 UTC Reply

I found this through TvTropes, so sorry if it's been reported before, but I found that this fic was notable for taking a whole lot of bad ideas, namely high school AU, angsty backstory,significantly fouler language than in canon, and explicit slash, throwing it all together...

... and creating a fic that is really, really good.

Seriously, I suspect this to be a professional author having fun in other peoples' fandoms. This story is the reason I can't bring myself to condemn any genre out of hand. I don't even like the main pairing and it's still my favorite story. So I thought I'd share it. I especially love the way it deals with rival love interests, and the way the backstories don't seem contrived or ridiculous, nor do the characters whine about them. And there are some real underlying themes that carry it all, I'd say.

So, your opinions?
