Hi Phoenix Downer, hope you’re doing well! I was reading your latest AU about the Sokai family, (which by the way, I loved! it’s such a moving story, and I almost cried during the conversation between Sora and Emi! 😭💗 It’s so sweet how Sora tells Emi that darkness isn’t something bad and that he could even train her, the father-daughter relationship is fantastic! And I also adored the part where Kairi calms Miyu down by telling her that everything will be okay, trusting Sora completely 💗 and of course, Haruto being curious about seeing Sora as a Heartless gave me so much tenderness!)

And I also wanted to mention something else that really surprised me, and it’s that in the first chapter you mentioned that Miyu is already dating the guy she likes! 🤭 And if it’s okay to ask… I was wondering if Sora and Kairi will find out soon? I think it would be something really interesting to explore, and I think you mentioned something like that a while ago! If you ever write it I’ll be one of the first people to read it, that’s for sure! I love everything you write 💗

Awwwww thank you so much Miraxelymlb! This was such a lovely comment to get in my inbox 🥰

I'm doing okay, thank you! I hope you're doing well ❤️ I’m glad you liked the latest SoKai Family AU story! I've been meaning to post it on here but hadn't gone around to it yet, so I'm glad you still found it.

Awwwww yay, I’m glad to hear the story was so moving! I really wanted to show Sora and Kairi being good parents to their kids, and I absolutely think Sora would completely accept any of their kids dealing with darkness and would offer to train and help them. And yesssss Kairi reassures Miyu and shows how much she trusts Sora to take care of Emi, I like showing the two of them being a team and supporting each other in front of their kids. And hehe yes Haruto I think would just be so fascinated by his dad being able to turn into a Heartless and now his younger sister, too.

Haha yes! And someone else was curious about that too. I'll have to address that in a future story for sure lol. I would be really curious to imagine how they would react. I guess it would depend on who she's dating and whether or not they approve lol. And yes I do think I mentioned it might be one of the sons of one of their friends! I'll have to think about it more and think about what else I want to address in the next future story, because there’s still also a humorous Christmas-themed story earlier in the timeline I want to write (that involves a very young Emi mistaking Sora for Santa and the misunderstandings that ensue lol).

Awwwww thank you so much, it really means a lot that you like my writing so much ❤️ If/when I do get more SoKai Family stories written, I’ll try to share them here as well as AO3 if I can!

Thank you for the ask ❤️

Do you think Kingdom Hearts 4 will follow the tradition of the other mainline games, where the ending cinematic shows Sora and Kairi holding hands? (And that there'll also be a hug between the two at some point in the game.) It would be really cute, honestly!

I think it will! I didn't even think about how they always hold hands at some point during the ending of each numbered game, but you're right, they definitely do. I bet we will see some variety of handholding in the KH4 ending and a hug as well sometime before that.

I'm going to go a step further into copium territory lol and hope for a Sora/Kairi kiss in the future, too. I used to think it was unlikely, at least until a much later game, but Square has been more bold with the romance lately, so I think it's a possibility. Especially because Sora and Kairi have already hugged, held hands, and shared the paopu fruit, and the logical next step for their romance would be a kiss.

(This post will either age really well or really poorly lol, we'll see in the next few years).

Thank you for the ask!

What is your favorite sokai hug and why? (I don't know if anyone else has asked you this but I'm always curious to know the different opinions)

I don't think anyone has asked me this before! Honestly it's so hard to choose because all of them are good a;lksdjf and happen at such important turning points for their relationship.

There's the KH1 hug where Kairi protects him and he regains his humanity and the first thing he does is embrace her and thank her:

Then there's the KH2 hug where he's feeling ashamed because he didn't accomplish what he'd promised, but Kairi doesn't care and gives him a hug anyway, and it takes him by surprise but then he closes his eyes and hugs her closely:

Then there's the KH3 hug which is like a reversal of the KH2 hug where this time he's the one catching her off guard. I also just really love how he's guarding her with his body because it's his last ditch effort to protect her no matter what:

And then this beautiful hug when they're reunited in ReMind and it's just so satisfying to see them embrace after everything he went through to find her:

I think, lining them all up like this, I'd have to pick the KH1 hug and the ReMind hug as my favorites? The moment in KH1 is just so iconic, and I love how he thanks her. And then the ReMind hug is just so beautiful and satisfying, and they're both so happy and content.

I am also really hoping for a beautiful reunion hug for KH4, so fingers crossed on that 🤞 I think I'm gonna be an emotional wreck the moment they reunite.

I'm curious though, what's everyone's favorite SoKai hug?

Thank you for the ask!

One day do you think you'll write about the "Au family Sokai" again? I mean, that would be really cool! (although of course that is if you want it or not) and I really must say that I became very fond of Miyu, Haruto and Emi, I could even sometimes identify with them, and it would also be interesting to know about the new brother or some interest romantic of Miyu 👀 I don't know, but any decision you make will be fine 💗

Awww thank you for asking! I do have a few more story ideas for the AU that I want to write at some point: Keyblade training shenanigans with the kids where Haruto accidentally gets everyone but Kairi turned into a cat, and then a more angsty + fluffy piece involving Sora's Heartless form (since the kids have never seen it before). And then of course I want to do something for the youngest brother ❤️ He has a name, personality, appearance etc. I just want to figure out the perfect intro for him.

I'm really glad you like the kids so much. That's such a huge compliment, and I really appreciate you letting me know ❤️ I had a lot of fun creating them, and it's always fun revisiting the AU!

As for Miyu's romantic interest, I always thought it would be highly amusing if she started crushing on the son of one of Sora and Kairi's friends...who should it be is the question though 🤔 😉

Thank you for the ask!
