We've Gone Rogue

Welcome to the Kingdom Hearts Rogue Nebula.

[kh-rogue-nebula]

See you next summer!

The Kingdom Hearts Rogue Nebula is officially finished! These past eight weeks have seen 11 new writer/artist collaborations step into the spotlight, many of which will continue to post past the event. We are humbled by our participants’ talent and tenacity!

The event moderators would like to thank all who participated in the event - writers, artists, beta readers, and cheerleaders - for their time, patience, and work throughout this event and the events preceding. The Rogue Nebula was a success, all due to the efforts of its participants. Thank you!

The Rogue Nebula moderators are currently discussing future events to run under the Rogue Nebula banner. We are accepting suggestions for events and themes via our Tumblr askbox and at [email protected]. In the meantime, however, we gently invite anyone interested to continue to read our participants’ continuing stories, and to reread our participants’ completed stories if the mood strikes. Feel free to drop a kudos, or comment or two if you’re feeling spicy!

Again, we extend a huge thank-you to our participants, as well as their readers. See you next time!

KH Rogue Nebula 2020 Recap

Did you catch all the stories? Are you sure? Check out a full recapitulation of the entire event. Some of these stories remain ongoing so make sure you mark them down!

Title: Hurricane Heartbeat Rating: T Pairing:  None / Riku/Kairi Chapters: 1-8 Complete?: No

Ven was meant to sleep in Sora's heart—not replace it. Now, he's trapped in the child's stolen body, forced to live a lie. The stars are fading fast, and as he grapples with his new identity, he'll find the past is not so easily escaped.

-

Title: Gasping Rating: T Pairing: None / Demyx/Zexion Chapters 1-15 Complete?: Yes

Demyx knows things aren't going to go his way. He's going to die, cold and heartless. But maybe he can prolong the inevitable.

In the ruins of Radiant Garden, Demyx prepares himself for his final stand. At least, that's what the Superior is supposed to think. Instead, he's readied a speech, short and sweet. If he wants to avoid certain doom, he'll have to act quickly. Luckily, not-Roxas & Co. seem to be pretty forgiving.

He's going to die anyway. He may as well do it with a clean conscience.

-

Title: Aicaya Rating: T Pairing: Sora/Riku Chapters: 1-19 Complete?: No

On a remote seaside town of Dorhaven, lives a trio of siblings that manage a floral shop after the sudden disappearance of their parents. Unspoken thoughts and feelings drift them apart, making things tense and more rigid than the icy weather that swirls over the desolate beach. They know nothing about the outside world, or the world beneath the waves. But then when a creature from below washes ashore, they start to learn more about the world beyond their shores.

-

Title: Speaking in Static Rating: T Pairing: Axel/Roxas/Saix Chapters: 1-12 Complete?: No

When Axel bemoans his latest failed romance before the Open Mic Night at the local coffee shop, Saix’s advice is clear: “Go scope out some new blond musicians to proposition.”

Roxas, through no fault of his own, catches Axel’s eye. Axel, through several faults of his own, falls hard and fast. Saix, drawn into the middle from both sides, attempts to mitigate Axel’s emotions while wrestling with his own mixed feelings.

Eventually, they’ll have to master the art of speaking through the static.

-

Title: Potentials Rating: M Pairing: Kairi/Sora/Riku Chapters: 1-10 Complete?: No

Kairi, Sora, and Riku are Heroes working under the auspices of The Defenders of the Light. The organization is ostensibly dedicated to fighting threats both mundane and extraordinary, as well as scientific research into the superhero phenomenon. In practice, it’s also devoted to marketing, with the Heroes it employs becoming some of the world’s biggest celebrities, and their battles a form of entertainment. As the organization teases a new conflict, one that could be especially dangerous for Riku, and corporate control tightens, Kairi has to face the realization that her employers do not have her best interests - or those of the world - at heart.

-

Title: duties & promises Rating: T Pairing: Roxas/Olette Chapters: 1-7 Complete?: No

What happens after 'happily ever after?'

For Aqua, it's continuing to fight and train Olette (and okay, Roxas too) in the art of the keyblade. For others like Larxene, it's to embrace the pain and suffering wedged deep inside her heart – and Olette? Well, she's not so sure what she'll do next. All she knows is that when war continues without an end in sight, no one really wins.

or: the post-KH3 AU where Aqua chooses Olette as her apprentice, and only Roxas was Surprised.

-

Title: Stress Pelican Rating: E Pairing: Aqua/Namine Chapters: 1-5 Complete?: No

Some people should come with a warning label. I am one of them. Aqua Toyoguchi is ready to take names and kick ass. Too bad all that's gonna happen is she’s gonna go through a nasty breakup, lose interest in her band, and actively sabotage her own life until reality gives her a vibe check. Things couldn’t be better, and then things couldn’t get worse. And then… Then she meets Naminé. -

Title: The Lord of the Castle Rating: T Pairing: None Chapters: 1-2 Complete?: No

Riku didn't asked to get into this situation, but maybe the Light was a magnet for problems.

When Terra asks for the help of the Council of Light to help with the search of his daugther, Riku is the one to be sent to help. He's ready to find her, but not to be dragged into the place she has been kept to and forced to help the other people trapped inside the place. As he suspected, darkness is the root of the problem.

What can you do when you need a princess back, but the kidnapper it's the place she's being kept in?

-

Title: Insomnolents Rating: M Pairing: Axel/Saix, Axel/Larxene, Namine/Xion, Aqua/Terra, Larxene/Marluxia Chapters: 1-4 Complete?: No

Future. Isa, a broken soldier caught in a small world, finds a stranded alien who fell off the moon on the day of the Dirge.

Present. Lea has spent his life gathering machine parts to rebuild a machine of Old. Completing it was a pipe dream that turned into a nightmare.

-

Title: Mise en Place Rating: T Pairing: Sora/Riku Chapters: 1 Complete?: Yes

Mise en Place - Everything in its place.

Riku needed a change, and working as a baker at a summer camp seems like exactly the type of change he needed. Anything to get away from a home filled with misery. If he happens to meet a brown-haired, blue-eyed counselor there who steals his heart in an instant, then what can he really do?

-

Title: Immortals Rating: T Pairing: None Chapters: 1 Complete?: Yes

Albeit the war is over, Isa still has his own battle to fight, against himself and a new enemy that's threatening to destroy the place he now calls home.

As the organization teases a new conflict, one that could be especially dangerous for Riku, and corporate control tightens, Kairi has to face the realization that her employers do not have her best interests - or those of the world - at heart.

Title: Gasping Rating: T Pairing: Demyx/Zexion Chapter #: 10-11

Demyx knows things aren’t going to go his way. He’s going to die, cold and heartless. But maybe he can prolong the inevitable.

In the ruins of Radiant Garden, Demyx prepares himself for his final stand. At least, that’s what the Superior is supposed to think. Instead, he’s readied a speech, short and sweet. If he wants to avoid certain doom, he’ll have to act quickly. Luckily, not-Roxas & Co. seem to be pretty forgiving.

He’s going to die anyway. He may as well do it with a clean conscience.

Title: Aicaya Rating: T Pairing: Sora/Riku Chapter #: 12

On a remote seaside town of Dorhaven, lives a trio of siblings that manage a floral shop after the sudden disappearance of their parents. Unspoken thoughts and feelings drift them apart, making things tense and more rigid than the icy weather that swirls over the desolate beach. They know nothing about the outside world, or the world beneath the waves. But then when a creature from below washes ashore, they start to learn more about the world beyond their shores.

Title: Speaking in Static Rating: T Pairing: Axel/Roxas/Saix Chapter #: 9

When Axel bemoans his latest failed romance before the Open Mic Night at the local coffee shop, Saix’s advice is clear: “Go scope out some new blond musicians to proposition.”

Roxas, through no fault of his own, catches Axel’s eye. Axel, through several faults of his own, falls hard and fast. Saix, drawn into the middle from both sides, attempts to mitigate Axel’s emotions while wrestling with his own mixed feelings.

Eventually, they’ll have to master the art of speaking through the static.
