spank that new years baby

Ah, guess I'm a day late for the BIG UNMASKING? Oh well. HARK! TIS I who wrote yuletide story Gerda and the Snow Queen for ave_eva. Which is rough in places that still make me wince, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and glad that my recipient enjoyed. ♥

Meanwhile, because my f-list is doing it and I wanna be one of the cool kids: New Years Request Meme. Standard flavor this time. You know how this goes: name a fandom/pairing/characters and I write you a story of dubious drabble status to the best of my ability provided said request does not destroy my brain.

I want Sora being dumb and Riku being a cranky kleptomaniac Catholic schoolboy and also MULAN please. And Donald and Goofy and Mushu and HIJINKS. Oh, you could make it a Temeraire crossover, that would be BRILLIANT.

Also a PONY.

(You can put Kairi in if you can't write Sora and Riku on their own. I quite like Kairi in fic.)

NB. I don't mean it about the pony.

I think temeraire is totally more awesome than a pony


…and then the heartless were gone.

“Gawrsh,” said Goofy, which was a good way to summarize it. Donald was too busy holding on for dear life and swearing up an incomprehensible storm. Sora was staring. The dragon winged around the peak once to be sure that the way had been cleared, and then came in to land in one of the shallower drifts. Donald stepped off so fast that he made a duck shaped hole in the snow. Goofy helped Sora down, since the keyblade master still looked a little dazed.

“…yeah,” said Sora, once vocal functions were restored. He stumbled once, stuck the keyblade into the snow to keep from tumbling. His hair was making a faster recovery, cautiously rising back to its usual bushiness. “You are…waaay more awesome than the last black dragon we met.”

“I should hope so,” said the dragon, starting forward with a few great strides that sent Donald bolting out of the drift to avoid one of those large feet. “This ‘Maleficent’ does not sound like she was a very good example at all. I hope I have been a better one.”

“I think so,” said Sora, bounding to keep up. “I’m Sora, by the way. And that’s Goofy--”

“Hiya!”

“And Donald’s...Donald?”

“GET ME OUT OF HERE.”

“There’s Donald!” Sora grinned, rubbing his head. “Sorry about before. It’s nice to meet you, uh, especially with how you wiped out those heartless. ”

The dragon paused in his examination of a depression in the snow to swivel his head around, droplets melting on his muzzle. “I am Temeraire,” he blinked, and pushed his head forward to examine Sora more closely. Sora, used to things much larger than he was having a look at him, didn’t flinch back at all. He looked back with an equal curiosity. Their eyes were nearly the same color. “And thank you. Is that what they are called? Heartless? Do they not have hearts?”

“They steal other people’s hearts.”

“I do not like them,” concluded Temeraire, with what one could only assume to be the dragon equivalent of a scowl.

“Me neither,” said Sora, folding his arms with a similiar expression. It was a moment of Bonding, and Donald and Goofy exchanged looks. This was an aspect of traveling with the keyblade master that they knew very, very well. The next step was no surprise: “You said you were looking for someone…?”

“Yes,” said the dragon, with a sigh that came out nearly pained. Donald edged back warily, half expecting another blast. “I am searching for someone very dear to me. We were separated upon coming here, and I have not been able to find him since. It is not often that we are apart for too long…” he trailed off, apparently little overwhelmed with the situation now that he’d voiced it. Sora answered by patting Temeraire on the foreleg, since he couldn’t really reach his shoulder.

“We’re looking for someone, too. Her name’s Mulan. We’re supposed to be meeting her over this mountain. We should go together! We’ll help you find your friend.”

“Oh. Would you?”

“No,” said Donald.

“ ‘course,” said Goofy.

“Sure thing!” said Sora. “I mean, I’ve found people across different planes of existence. How hard could it be?”

The answer turned out to be: ‘very’ and ‘an adventure, but Sora was the hero of the story, and these things happened to heroes, and anyway having a dragon in your party was just plain cool.

HEARTS FOR YOU.

“Gawrsh,” said Goofy, which was a good way to summarize it.

Hee. Goofy.

Their eyes were nearly the same color.

♥ ♥ ♥

Sora = adorable dragon in another life y/n?

This was an aspect of traveling with the keyblade master that they knew very, very well.

HEE.

The answer turned out to be: ‘very’ and ‘an adventure, but Sora was the hero of the story, and these things happened to heroes, and anyway having a dragon in your party was just plain cool.

And that just encapsulates the Soraness of Sora in one fabulous sentence. Thank you, best of Muuns; it is a most glorious story.

Basically though this fic I sort of realized that if Sora were to become a dragon in one of his worldhopping adventures, he would basically be exactly the same.

(and I had a horrible moment of taking this whole concept seriously when I remembered that Sora comes with all of this King imagery through the course of the game, and if you want to get really cracked out you could argue he dethroned an improper tyrant and established himself as keeper of all kingdoms (kiiiingdom heeeeartsssss) and thus, someone...technically worthy of a celestial in status... oh god stopping now.)

I would be making encouraging noises, except I'm afraid I'm too busy laughing at you. <3

(In a dragony Kingdom Hearts AU following the narrative curves of a romance novel or epic slash fic, Riku would of course be the punkass bitch son and heir of landed gentry -- cf. Lord Allendale -- who is saved by the love of a good baby dragon ...

Anyway to be srs, Sora isn't Chinese anyway. A Japanese dragon? I seem to recall Novik refers to Japanese breeds at least once, but we're not given any sort of detail on them.)
