Along with it came the odd sense of fear and embarrassment. How could he possibly handle this, when he wasn’t even sure what it was he was feeling?"

Takes place after, "How to Confess Your Love in One Bite." Sora suggests a Secret Santa gift exchange, and everyone is very excited! But when Roxas draws his best friend's name, he's not sure how he feels - or even what he is feeling in the first place. Can there be a way to figure it out, and hopefully tell Xion in the process?

Summary: Roxas and Ventus Week Day 5!!!

Where had the time gone? It felt like just yesterday Ventus gave this to him, blue eyes full of joy and excitement. Now here he was, sitting atop the clock tower completely alone.

Stupid charm, not doing it’s job properly.

Summary: His subconscious poked and prodded his conscious, trapped in a long-running game of tag. Sometimes he could hear the laughter like it was the first day they met. Other times he would catch a shadow moving across the hallway. And he always chased it... chased and chased, only for his heart to break once more. [VanVen drabble]

Summary: Aqua has escaped the Realm of Darkness, but the hold it has on her mind is not so easily broken. The Mysterious Tower represents safety and a chance to recover if she can find a way to manage her nightmares. Meanwhile, Axel and Kairi's keyblade training has stalled, and perhaps training from the newly returned keyblade master is just what they all need to help them face the burdens they carry.

This is technically a sequel to the previous entry in this series, The Moon and The Tides , but can be read as a standalone.

at first sight.

On nights when Kairi can’t sleep, she goes out to the play islands.

It’s the only time she lets herself go. Riku still can’t bring himself to face it at night without Sora at his side, but Kairi has the opposite problem. In the daylight, she can hear echoes of Sora’s laughter off the trees and the stones, catches glimpses of their younger selves running around with supplies for their raft— a child’s dream of escape.

They were never allowed here at night. At night she finds some peace. 

(this fic is a standalone, you don't need to read part one to get what's going on here.)

She twisted around to look at Isa, her eyes bright with excitement. "There's this holiday I guess, right? I don't know if it's celebrated on other worlds or not–" She was speaking animatedly, bouncing around in place. Lea was worried the box would fall but she kept it steady, somehow. "Basically there's this whole day that's like, dedicated to dads and stuff, right?"

Summary: Nomura said that the title “358/2 Days” had a hidden meaning:

“The 358 days are shared between two people, so ‘/2’, but I'd rather you imagine which two we are talking about. After you've finished playing it you might change your mind about who the two people are.”

I believe that the the true meaning of the title was that Axel was reliving his past while watching what Roxas and Xion were going through in the present. For the entire year, he was experiencing déjà vu.

This will be a retelling of “358/2 Days” from Axel’s (and sometimes Saïx’s) point of view. Axel’s thoughts, feelings, and motivations were kept intentionally vague throughout the series. This story will attempt to expand on exactly what he was feeling (which he kept hidden from Roxas and Xion), why he grew a heart, what kinds of activities and missions he was doing when Roxas wasn’t around, as well as provide flashbacks of his and Isa’s dark past.

But, high school proves to be just as difficult to get through than all the other trials he's faced thus far. It doesn't help that he's got a ghost of a memory of virtual Twilight Town and a crush on his lab partner.
