The Daybreak Tower

A Tower of AUs

[daybreaktower]

MoD (long overdue) update

hi everyone, Mod Ienzo here. it's been. A while.

I'm sure you're all wondering where we've been, and the truth is... Well, anywhere but here. Mod Vani and I have both been busy with irl and neither of us had the time to update the blog.

To give you a quick rundown on important updates:

The sequel to Everything Has Its Price is on hold indefinitely, and so are Mod Vani's other AUs. Mod Vani has been busy with other projects that don't belong on this blog, and has had no time to work on their KH AUs.

I haven't been on tumblr a whole lot in general lately due to a lack of time, and while I do still check in occasionally, because of my absence I've been slacking on updating this blog. Also a combination of irl being irl and a lack of creative inspiration gave me the worst case of writer's block I've had in years, but I'm finally getting over that and slowly picking up writing again.

Speaking of, how are my own AUs doing? Well, they sure are doing! I'm reworking my previously established AUs, have started not one, not (Axel voice) two?!, but THREE! new AUs (Light help me I need to update the Floorplan and I don't even know what I'm doing with some of these AUs), and am juggling all of these as well as various oneshots and a few other projects at all times. I sure have been keeping busy!

Other projects? Yep, other projects. I can't reveal more about those yet, as they're still in development and I'm not quite ready to seriously start working on anything, but things are coming. Eventually. For the time being, I'm focusing on a few oneshots that I would like to finish and post sometime this year.

On behalf of Mod Vani and myself, I apologize again for the radio silence. We will most likely end up falling silent for an indefinite period of time again as we work on projects and sort out ideas, but we will be back eventually, we just can't promise when that will be. In the meantime, our askbox remains open, feel free to ask questions about our AUs, I check our askbox regularly.

Throwback- uhhh, Wednesday? Is that anything???

Anyway throwback all the way to October 2019, when I first said this to Mod Ienzo. And that’s how it all started lmao.

Fun fact; originally it was just going to be EHIP, and it was going to be called “Wings of Memories”. However after some thinking and going back and forth we decided to make it a series split into three. ^^

Chapter Forty-Two: Radiance

AAAAAAAAAAASORRYWE’RELATETHINKFAST- *hurls this across the room*

We’re here! It’s the end of EHIP! My longest work yet, literal novel length. I’m not gonna think too hard about it or I’m gonna mcfreaking lose it. Plus I already wrote the sappy speech in the end of this chapter so- hah 8′D

EHIP might be over, but WoM isn’t! I am taking a break, to rest and build my buffer back up, but there will be a part two. That’s a threat <3

No but seriously, part two is in the works. I hope y’all who read this to the end will read that as well when it comes out uwu

Thanks, and I’ll see y’all in the next one.

And hey, Nokori gets to be on the cover for once! Ain’t that nice.  ...I really, really hope everyone figured out who Nokori is by now haha- I mean, I haven’t been subtle. ‘Nokori’ - ‘Remnant’...

Hello everybody! Sorry for the delay on the latest EHIP chapter. I’m currently having a bit of scheduling trouble and Dark Road has taken over my life so I’m not sure when I’ll get around to beta reading. I try not to make a habit of this - we are at a very important part of the story, after all - but unfortunately my scheduling trouble will continue for a while so the next few chapters may be uploaded with no logic to their upload schedule whatsoever. They’ll be up as soon as they’re ready.

Ok this fanart did it, what is EHIP?

dgfhgjfhgdfdhg thank you Anon, I'm flattered-

EHIP - short for 'Everything Has Its Price' - is the first fic in the Wings of Memories AU, which is going to consist of a total of three fics.

the premise is "what if Kingdom Hearts, but with the plot of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle?" (TRC being a favorite manga of both MoDs)

you don't need to know anything about TRC to enjoy EHIP, in fact I encourage you to steer clear if you don't wanna get spoiled for EHIP, since I follow the main plot pretty closely.

but, yeah, it's got everything - action, shenanigans, bad decisions, good decisions, worse decisions, feels, and even a touch of romance. the romance is even plot relevant!

for more details, I refer you to our Floorplan tab on the homepage, or the official EHIP summary on AO3, the link to which you can find in the Library tab.

I hope this answered your question!

Arrival. Once Again.

This was supposed to have gone up after Sora’s official introduction to the story but, eh, what can ya do.

Again, old art is old, also it got corrupted when I switched laptops so it’s a little yellow. But still good. Yeah. Still good.
