bone + tissue by ilien

Summary: Riku ducked down to meet Sora’s gaze, because even with him sitting on the dresser he still didn’t reach Riku’s height. “Are you hurt? Do you want me to cure you?”Sora shook his head slowly, listlessly. “Is something else, Riku. Like,” he grimaced, bringing his fingers to his mouth as if he was going to cough or sneeze, but it passed. “Something wrong.”

Comments: I never considered the concept of Riku literally eating Sora’s nightmares before reading this fic and it awakened something in me... haha

perchance to (day)dream by Emlee_J

Summary: Sora is one of the bravest people in all the worlds, but some questions are quite simply very hard to ask.

Or; coming out is always difficult, but Donald and Goofy make it a little easier

Comments: There aren’t a whole lot of fics out there that feature Donald and Goofy as well, they’re characterized so well in this fic and seeing Sora come out to them actually made me tear up

victory tastes sweeter when i’m with you by curovogel

Summary: “You and Sora,” Mulan says

“Sora and I,” Riku replies.

“I looked into it, for I wanted to be respectful of your warrior’s culture,” Mulan continues. “After their journey is over, a Keyblade Master bringing his consort to explore the wor—”

“Excuse me,” Riku interrupts. “What did you say just now?”

Comments: Reading this fic right after KH3 soothed my soul, it couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

take me to a place with real-life love by timetoboldlygo

Summary: It could be that he's just dreaming, but Sora knows better. These aren't dreams - these are other worlds he's visiting night after night. He's seeing different versions of his life, of himself, and of Riku, who is always there by his side.

Sora isn't so oblivious that he can't notice hundreds of universes conspiring to tell him something important about Riku. He just wishes his Riku was with him.

Comments: Sora hopping universes in his dreams is lovely concept and I adore fics that blend together canon and AU like that. It’s so sweet and it makes my heart full.

Unmei by Kaori_chibimaster

Summary: He was from the city. Sora knew this because he practically exuded upper class—not in a snobby way, though. Not with how his laid-back demeanor had him leaning over a surfboard, legs crossed loosely and a lazy smile on his face. He looked at Sora and jerked his head. ‘Come here’ the gesture said.

Sora went to him.

Comments: Reading this felt like getting a warm hug, and I have often found myself pulling it up to reread after a bad day. I enjoyed seeing Sora and Riku’s relationship develop, and the worldbuilding makes me nostalgic for a village seaside life I’ve never lived.

Always That Way by Insomiak

Summary:  How can Riku not know? They’d never come out and said it. But somewhere between Riku throwing his life away to save Sora’s and the long looks and the willingness to spend eternity together on that dark beach, he’d just assumed.
