**Comforting Vanitas ~ Vanitas and Fem!Reader**
-It's not obvious at a first glance if and when Vanitas needs comforting. The boy wears his armor to protect his emotions as much to protect his body — his facial expressions are endearingly transparent when he's caught off guard or thinks nobody is looking.
-Because of this, it takes you far longer to realize when he needs to be comforted than you'd like. Eventually you begin to recognize his ticks, the subtle changes in his voice, and other tells he has.
-Your first attempts at comforting him are disastrous. He hates being pandered to, pitied, or otherwise looked at sympathetically. When you offer him support, he scoffs and leaves the room with a sarcastic comment. For a time, you're at a complete loss.
-Ultimately what ends up working best for Vanitas is distractions. Of course, it can't be obvious that's what you're doing, or he'll get offended and storm off to disappear too long for comfort. The best way to distract him is by taking him to help you with something. He'll groan and complain, but eventually always joins you in whatever task you've concocted.
-At first you weren’t sure if what you were doing was actually helping or not — Vanitas’ complaining always seemed to increase tenfold whenever you asked for his help. Over time though, you learned that the more he complained, the more he was actually enjoying himself and the complaining was his way of trying to hide it.
-Slowly, the presence of Unversed near the castle diminishes. In small ways, you can see how Vanitas is beginning to feel comfortable around you — his barbs have dulled around the edges, his scowls don’t reach his eyes, and his posture changes ever so slightly. Eventually, it’s like he never lived anywhere else.
hc about brain cockblocking lauriam trying to confess to femreader because he also has feelings for her, thank you!
Hi Nonnie! I’m not sure if I came at this from the angle you were hoping for, but I thought it would be interesting to show these events from Reader’s POV. I hope you enjoy!
**Love & War ~ Brain & Lauriam Both Like Fem!Reader**
-Honestly, you really don’t know what is wrong with guys sometimes. Over and over, Lauriam keeps asking you to meet him places — Daybreak Square, the lighthouse, the gardens--and over and over, it seems like he wants to tell you something.
-At the last minute, Brain always appears with some new task for Lauriam, or a mission for you. The missions make the least sense, because he’s not actually even your Union leader, and you kind of doubt that your Union leader is using him as a messenger.
-When he gives tasks to Lauriam, Lauriam always stands there, staring pointedly at Brain. Though you know him to be extremely capable, Lauriam always insists that he needs Brain’s assistance, and then they both go on, leaving you more confused than ever.
-It doesn’t help that Chirithy seems to know exactly what is going on, but won’t say anything to you about it either way. You even ask some of your friends if they know what’s going on. They give you the same sort of response as Chirithy, and assure you that you’ll find out soon enough.
-Eventually, you're fed up with their antics — all of them — and incredibly curious about what Lauriam has to say. The next time Brain tries to interject between the two of you, you tell him to wait because you want to hear what Lauriam has to say.
-Though he seems flustered at your request and Brain's smug attitude, Lauriam finally manages to confess — he has feelings for you! And just like your friends told you, everything starts falling into place.
-You turn to Brain and demand to know if he knew this, if this was why he kept barging in, but it’s Lauriam who answers you, and you find out that Brain has feelings for you too. With their rivalry and strange behavior finally explained, you realize that it’s up to you now — you have a choice to make.
Headcanon about Riku and fem s/o after the events of remind. Fluff or angst (maybe both)
Hi Nonnie, thanks for the request! Lucky and I haven't really discussed including spoilers for Melody of Memory, but considering it came out six months ago, I went ahead and included hints at it here. Nothing too spoilery anyways, but I'll give it a tag, and then I think after that we won't mark MoM spoilers.
SLIGHT MELODY OF MEMORY SPOILERS!!!
**The Aftermath ~ Riku x Fem!Reader After Re:Mind**
-After Sora disappears, Riku becomes distant. He and Kairi waste no time preparing to leave, packing their things and ready to leave the Islands without a second thought. Of course you have no second thoughts going with them, and Riku doesn't try to argue against it.
-The three of you go straight to Radiant Garden, and once Riku and Kairi are immersed in looking for Sora, you're kind of left on your own--save the Restoration Committee.
-It takes a while and a few failed attempts to finally get Riku away from Cid's computer, and you couldn't have managed it without Aerith's help. Her gentle but stern tone left no room for arguments and Riku finally agreed to take a break.
-The two of you walk around Radiant Garden and you attempt to talk to him and try to bring him out of the funk he’s been in ever since Sora disappeared. You wish you could do more, but after talking for a long time with no response, Riku finally acknowledged you.
-”Y/N.” His voice is soft, but breaks through your tirade and you immediately stop talking. When you look over at him and find him smiling, something inside of you snaps and the tears begin in earnest. He doesn’t say much else as you wrap your arms around him, finally realizing the toll seeing his grief was taking on you.
-Through your tears, you apologize to him, even though none of it is your fault. “It’s okay,” he tells you gently, then confesses that he should actually be thanking you. That surprises you enough to get your tears to stop as you ask him why.
-It’s then that he tells you that your presence, though he didn’t say it at the time, has been critical in holding him together, especially once Kairi went to sleep. You sniffle and tell him that you didn’t really do anything, and you wish you could do more.
-Riku assures you that you’ve been doing plenty, and he’s grateful to have you and your unconditional support. Seeing his smile again is the best gift you could ask for, and you assure him in turn that together, you’ll find Sora.
Wai wait wait another one! WHat IF... The (male) s/o of Vanitas that they started to have a thing in kh3 propose to him before the big fight to make him come back again in a Replica in this timeline to be together for a happy end... ? In your opinion, would Vanitas will accept or can't see something else than living in BbS time? I hope it make sense. Still love you 💙
Soooo I got to the fifth headcanon and realized I had too many more to not make it a ficlet, and well, here we are!

**Stay With Me ~ Vanitas x M!Reader**
-When you first see Vanitas again after all this time your heart nearly stops under the onslaught of emotions, but it doesn’t take you long to parse through all of them and identify the most prominent — longing. You make it your mission to meet with him, carefully planning your moment to slip away from your friends and find him.
-The moment you’re alone, it’s all you can do to keep from throwing yourself at him. The last thing you want to do is scare him away, so instead you just ask “How?” He answers and it’s in that moment that you realize even though you saw him, you still weren’t sure it was actually him. His response leaves no room for doubt though, and that’s when your composure falters.
-You begin talking about how much you missed him and how happy you are that he’s back until he cuts you off. He tells you that he’s not back for a sunshine and roses reunion, he’s only back to try to become whole again, and besides that he knows Xehanort is using him.
-Before your heart can fracture too deeply, you remember the replicas that the group at Radiant Garden are working on, and tell Vanitas about them. “You could stay,” you tell him. “You could be yourself.”
-For a long moment, Vanitas is silent and the only thing that keeps you hoping he’ll accept your proposal is the fact that he hasn’t left yet.
———————-
“Y/N,” he finally said, “what do you think I’m doing here?”
The words came to your lips immediately, but his expression made you hesitate to let them spill out. “You said… you wanted to be whole.” Even though you were repeating his words back to him, the answer sounded wrong.
“That’s right,” he drawled, turning his back to you. “Now why don’t you tell me how I’m supposed to do that in a replica. Just one hollow shell to another.”
"You're not," you said defiantly.
It wasn't the first time you had said this to him, unable to believe that he could care for you if he was truly hollow like he said. But it was the first time he didn't laugh at your words. He stood silent, unmoving. You wished desperately he had taken his mask off; you were dying to know what was going through his head. Your stomach tumbled over itself waiting for him to answer.
"How naive." Your stomach dropped. “You really don’t know anything.” He faced you again, still unreadable and impassive. “I can never be whole. All the good, all the things worth anything, those went to Venty-Wenty.”
“You’re wrong, Vanitas. You’re your own person! I don’t believe that you’re hollow.”
Now he laughed. The sound grated against your nerves, raised goosebumps on your skin.
“Thought you were smarter than that.” His words were accompanied by a dark corridor springing to life. “I’m just the stuff left over that he didn’t need.”
“Vanitas, wait!”
But your words fell on deaf ears as Vanitas stepped through the corridor, leaving you to stand alone in the Badlands, and dread what tomorrow would bring.
Who is the most underrated character in Kingdom Hearts?
For me, definitely Vexen.
He's a character I wasn't sure about for a long while. But writing him on this blog completely changed that. He's a deeper character than a lot of people give him credit for!
I think he's definitely deserving of so much more than he gets.
I even got the chance to write for him in the Disorganizine (Organization 13 fanzine)!
He's a nervous wreck of a person, that I just love.

--------------------
I'm so sorry about the delay, Nonnie! Lucky told me about this ask and I totally spaced on it, BUT I'm here to say that I think Vanitas is really underrated.
It may not seem like it with all the requests we get for him and I do think there's a lot of loud fans in the fandom, but... I just can't shake
the feeling that he's not really appreciated, overall.
It's probably just me, but I just love him so much, haha!
Are sfw requests still open?? If not, sorry about this I'm not 100% familiar with Tumblr yet lol (this will be my first ask, hope I'm doing it right) if so, can I request a ficlet between Vanitas and a soft and caring, almost motherly fem reader? The plot being the reader helping Vanitas adjust into a more healthy and normal life after if and when he gets redemption (if that makes sense). Again, sorry if I'm doing this wrong. I just want some soft and tender love for our angsty boy 🥺

**Amidst the Clash ~ Ephemer x Fem!Reader Angst**
Words: 765
The sound of thousands of Keyblades clashing together could be heard even above the rain that had begun to fall. Each crash seemed to echo in your skull, shaking your teeth as you looked around wildly. Everything was blurred. You weren’t entirely sure if it was rain in your eyes or tears, but you reached up to wipe them away roughly all the same. Fingers tightening around your Keyblade, you spun in a circle. Nobody was paying attention to you, for now. You dreaded the moment you would again have to raise your Keyblade against a fellow wielder. The unions had been created to protect the light, not fight over it, and yet…
Here you all were.
Ephemer had warned you to stay away. He hadn’t said anything else, had always been secretive and kept things close to his chest, though you knew he hated to do so. For a long while, you hadn’t even suspected he knew that anything was wrong outside of what you knew yourself. But the last time the two of you had met, he’d broken his characteristic cheerfulness. The careful distance he kept between you had closed as he embraced you tightly.
“Something is going to happen,” he’d whispered desperately in your ear. “Something awful, something I can’t stop.” He’d paused, shuddered, continued. “Please, just stay away.”
You’d barely had the presence of mind to ask, “Stay away from what? From—” You? But before you’d finished your sentence he’d pulled away and was gone.
“Ephemer!” You cried out to him in the same desperate voice you’d used that day. Though he hadn’t given you any more information than that, you’d still found yourself here today. How could you stay away after what he’d said?
“Ephemer!”
It was getting hard to see anything through the rain and fighting, let alone a single person among hundreds. Flashes of faces you thought you might recognize ran by, voices that were impossible to distinguish as familiar when all they were doing was screaming pounded against your head. His name was on the tip of your tongue again. A yell came out instead.
Instinctively, your Keyblade came up to block the blow that was aimed at you, sending your arm shaking with the impact. The rain was white noise, the battle muffled as you focused on defending yourself. You didn’t recognize the wielder you were up against, unable to tell even what union they were from. Everyone looked the same in mud. The only question: Why, why, why, why, WHY?
In the mud, you were all the same. In the mud, everyone was an enemy.
You parried their blows, sometimes needing both hands just to keep your Keyblade steady. Legs aching, it was all you could do to avoid the other battles raging around you. Were you even fighting the same wielder as before? Or had someone new taken their place without you ever noticing? Star clashed against star, against blade, against heart, an endless cycle.
What could possibly be left at the end of it all?
Would Ephemer be left?
In the mud, you lost your footing, and finally knew what it was to be struck by someone you’d once called ally.
The cry that left your mouth was soundless, but you felt it all the same. Your Keyblade dissipated, leaving your arm tingling with its loss, a far cry from the dull warmth radiating through your back that quickly faded to cold. Slowly, everything became cold.
Darkness fell like a fog and when you awoke, the world was still. You held your breath, and the world hovered, incandescent.
“Y/N?” A gasp filled your lungs when you heard the voice; the motion was sharp, quick, pain. It wouldn’t let you move, all you could do was watch as he knelt down and took your hand in his. “I told you to stay away.”
A hushed laugh meant more pain, but you couldn’t prevent it.
“How could I?” you managed. “I—“ Knew you would be here. The words got caught in your throat.
“I’m sorry.” Ephemer’s voice was thick. You thought he might be squeezing your hand, but your arm was pins and needles again. The horrors you’d seen were too fresh in your mind to offer any sort of comfort, to tell him not to be. It didn’t help anything, but he was sorry and that counted for something, so you nodded, feeling tears track their way down your face.
You couldn’t be sure, but through the fog that overtook you, you thought you heard him say, “I’ll make this right, Y/N. I swear it.”
Who is your kingdom hearts husbando and your Kingdom hearts waifu? Well, my Kingdom Hearts husbando is Sora, Axel, and Terra. My Kingdom Hearts Waifu is Namine, Larxene, and Aqua. I’m sorry if I choose Terra as my husbando and Aqua as my waifu. XD
I don’t blame you at all for your choices Anon. Great choices indeed. Since you did top three for each, I am too.
My top husbandos are Riku, Axel, and Xemnas... or maybe Young Xehanort... Vexen. Oh gosh, no Ienzo definitely deserves a spot.... But then Lexaues...LUXORD! Oh and of course Xigbar can’t be forgotten.... All of them. YUP All of them are my husbandos.
In all seriousness, the top is Riku. He’s the one that always makes my heart skip when he smiles. His loyalty, his snark, his eyes, his everything. He’s just lovely.
Waifu, similar problem, but I think I have more of a handle on myself. Namine and Aqua.
My top girl has to be Namine though. She’s kind, soft spoken, and I want to give her everything. She deserves the world.
-Mod Lucky
------------------------------------------------
For husbandos: Riku and Vanitas. I greatly enjoy a lot of the other KH guys, but Riku and Vanitas are just hnnnnnnnnnn. I connected so much with Riku when I first discovered Kingdom Hearts (I was also fifteen and desperately bored and full of wanderlust) and that was what really initially drew me to him first. Then I got to watch him grow, got to watch him on his journey and really just become confident in and forgive himself and I'm kind of rambling and forgot where I was going with this, but the point is that I love him, haha.
As for Vanitas, he honestly kind of snuck up on me and it took me a while to come around to the fact that I actually really like that snarky, evil little gremlin. I guess I first fell in love with a fanon version of Vanitas, and then backtracked to grow attached to him in canon too. His pages in the BBS light novel just break my heart.
For waifu, I'm torn between Kairi and Aqua. Aqua is just a steadfast and wonderful character, and her dedication to her friends is so admirable. She never stopped trying to do what was right, even stuck in the Realm of Darkness as long as she was.
For Kairi, I have to say I love the sass (can you see a trend here?). There are moments where her sass has made me laugh out loud and other moments where it's downright adorable. On top of that, she had the same dedication and determination as Aqua, and it's been so amazing to watch her go from a damsel in distress to STRAIGHT UP HOLDING HER OWN AGAINST XEHANORT WITH SORA LIKE GIVE THE GIRL SOME CREDIT PLEASE.
