Multiplicity [The World Ends With You/(Kingdom Hearts); Joshua/Neku, Hanekoma]

[xtwilightzx]

I bet some KH3D footage is going to come along and debunk parts of this fic. Still, I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, so here it is.

Title: Multiplicity
Fandom: The World Ends With You (main); Kingdom Hearts (referenced)
Character/Pairings: Joshua, Hanekoma, Neku, one (not so) innocuous Heartless drawing, and visions of another world.

I was a bit worried about the mention of KH3D, but I'm glad that I picked this up for a read.

That was beautiful and poignant, and while it doesn't seem to connect to KH3D too much in terms of plot, it introduces KH elements seamlessly without overwhelming the TWEWYness.

Thank you for the beautiful read!

I suspected mentioning KH at all would throw some people off, so I'm glad you gave this fic a chance :)

As much as I adore the idea of TWEWY characters in the KH-verse, I'll always love the original game cast best - their histories and experiences together - so I really wanted to keep the worlds separate, but with the events of one verse spilling over to affect the other.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment ♥

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the point of preference for the original plot. I have this great, sad feeling that despite the inclusion of so many SBSK characters, KH is going to retcon it to the basics. (Which, for another discussion, is only alright for a crossover; why spoil SBSK to those who haven't played it when they can just enjoy the separate game in full.)

Also, I've just realized that I haven't read the rest of your fics (which is terribly fail of me), but I've caught up and I think your pieces are beautiful. ♥♥

I know what you mean -- but from the trailers and the few Traverse Town scenes I've seen from KH3D, it does seem like the TWEWY characters get a bit more backstory than the way KH usually treats its FF characters. Joshua, at least, gets his moments. Mostly I just want them to expand more on his and Neku's relationship, because this Joshua seems so much more serious and this Neku less "I hate the world"; I feel they could really get somewhere with these two.

Wahhh, thank you! ♥ TWEWY really came in and hijacked my muses; I don't think I've written fanfic for a fandom so quickly after being introduced to it. This game is just that amazing.

This is a nice read, as with the way you've put together elements from disparate worlds and blended it gently together makes it really awesome to read.

And I don't think any footage from KH3D has broken this fic, either, simply because you wrote it in a way that doesn't spoil too much on that perfectly. :)

Thank you; I'm really glad you enjoyed it ♥

Haha, I hope so; I was thinking that Squeenix might suddenly tell us that these are the origial TWEWY cast now dragged into another game. Probably not, since the FF characters are all alternate versions, but I never know what to expect from Squeenix anymore.
