Fic: Of Three (Kingdom Hearts; drabble collection)

[synchroshatter]

So! Finally! This is my help_japan gift fic for yamikonumber7, who very kindly donated and requested some fic for the BBS trio and Terra/Aqua. I went down the unrelated drabble route, and even though they're vaguely in chronological order, apologies in advance for any tone-related whiplash! I hope you enjoy them anyway. :D

You know, I got this the day you sent me the email - I've just been either AFK or in a RP journal the entire time since then.

And, you know, I've reread it seven or eight times since then.

You know I freaking love you and you're brilliant, yes? Your characterization is spot-on and you craft emotion perfectly, with just the right amount of humor to accent it. I just. Between the comment about the puppy, Aqua feeling hope again, the new Wayfinder, and the image of Cid trying to convince a hapless bartender to get him some tea, dammit, I feel like I need to go back and make another donation, because you've given me so much more than I paid for.

♥!

I'm really glad you liked it! Writing it was fun, but like I said, pretty hard to finish the pieces (especially the Wayfinder one *headdesk*). There were a whole load of ideas too that didn't get finished, so who knows, maybe I'll get those done one day too! XD I kind of want to give them a whole big post-game happy ending, because if it sucks to be anyone in KH, it's probably them.

Cid would totally expect tea from the bar. Disney already made him give up chain smoking, they can't expect him to give up his other major vice too!

Ugh - this is what I love about your writing - your ability to fit fluff and meaning together seamlessly to create a set of drabbles that take you on an adorable journey about these guys. I find it difficult to write this trio so that they're not crazy shiny happy people or moping angst bunnies in the corner; but you reach a healthy and happy medium without detracting from their original canon selves. You must tell me your secret! XD

This bit made me giggle (at work may I add!):

“Master Eraqus,” Aqua began in that even tone that she always seemed to hope made her sound mature and diplomatic. Unfortunately for Eraqus, it usually worked.

Master Eraqus is a pushover and you know it XD

So all in all, thanks for sharing this - I'm going to have to mem' it as good takes on these three are often difficult to find because they're buried amongst the plague that is Akuroku. Thanks for sharing, and thanks to yamikonumber7 for such a great request! :)

*running out of BBS icons, I guess this one works?*

Aww, thank you! I’m always kind of worried writing them comes off a bit clunky, if that makes sense, so I’m glad it didn’t in the end! ^-^ Maybe one day I’ll write them a longer happy ending, if I can come up with enough shenanigans for them.

Haha, he totally is. If he could feel fatherly towards Ven, knowing what he is, he’d totally give in eventually to whatever they asked. And Aqua would probably soon learn that being mature and responsible can get you a long way. Terra would probably bribe her to make requests for him. XD

I know what you mean though I can’t complain about the akuroku, I guess! I kind of figured these three would be far more popular than they are, so I found searching for fic on them always a bit of a problem. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again for reviewing (and mem’ing)!
