Between Light and Dark

"...he wasn’t going to fall here, not now. In his surety he felt cool, light handles materialize in both his hands, and sure enough, as he raised his arms, the Oathkeeper and the Oblivion, his two Keyblades, were firm in his grip.

The Heartless was caught in the two crossed blades. Without hesitating, Roxas forced them apart, the blades cutting the shadow in half like scissors."

Excerpt from Kingdom Hearts: Rebirth of the Simulacrum, Chapter II: The Balance of Twilight, which you can read here: http://orderxiii.livejournal.com/2509.html

In a nutshell, it's a post-game fic about what happens to Roxas and other key characters from the game. Well, mainly Roxas, but everyone else ties closely in and make appearances. Starring everyone's Nobody grump Roxas and that snazzy Sorceress from Final Fantasy VIII, Rinoa Heartilly. As far as fanfiction goes, I generally avoid it like the plague, but this one sucked me right in and now I'm addicted to it like Roxas is addicted to crack... I mean sea salt ice cream. (/em sarcastically makes the air quotes gesture.) Read it from the beginning here: http://orderxiii.livejournal.com
