That was beautiful. The back and forth of the timeline was an interesting structural choice. It took me a little bit to catch on, but I think it worked, overall. I loved the analysis of how Xehanort became the man we've seen, including his time in Radiant Garden.

My only nitpick is the idea of Sora's mom being his connection to the islands... Given how old Xehanort was shown to be in BbS, I don't think she would be born yet... Maybe his grandmother, though... Then again, that's just my interpretation. Sora's mom could have had him late in life, and Xehanort could have aged poorly.

Thanks for sharing!

It's a really big stretch, yeah. But shhhh it works somehow. There's always the possibility that time flows differently in different worlds.

It is not very likely, but it's an interesting 'what if' :3c

Thank you for the review! I am glad you enjoyed it!

There's always the possibility that time flows differently in different worlds.

Actually, this is a very good possibility. Look at The Magic Kingdom/Disney Town: the characters from there haven't aged at all. (And "what ifs" are always fun! :D)

*gasps* Wow that was great!

Very thought provoking. Also well write as usual. I swear every time I read fiction by you its like reading poetry. Beautiful!

I am so very out and behind with KH... last I knew/played was KH2. So even though I have no idea what this was about it was still awesome and easy to follow.

Yes, totally believe in the whole 'time flows differently in different worlds' idea. Even CLAMP says that.
