Title: Lure of Midnight
Challenge: [079] Close To You
Wordcount: 468
Characters: Riku, "Ansem"
Spoilers: For an event in KH2.
Notes: It only takes a single moment of weakness for the dark to sink fangs in you, and even less to fall back into its embrace.
Sometimes it already owns you, and all you need is a gentle reminder ... and sometimes, 'close' is under your own skin.
Other: Inspired by Alice Cooper's nothing's free.

( 'i'll be yours and you'll be mine' )

Challenge: [077] Martyr
Title: end of innocence
Wordcount: 377
Characters: Sora
Spoilers: KH (end), KH2, and possibly beyond.
Notes: Every cause needs a certain number of sacrifices; and the best are those that never see it coming til it is much too late.

( 'my mission saved the world ...' )

Title: That Which Holds Eternity Within
Challenge: [071]: Castle
Wordcount: 531
Characters: Marluxia
Spoiler Warnings: For Chain of Memories, plus a smidge for KH2's plot.
Notes: Marluxia arrives in Oblivion Castle, and ruminates a little on why he is there -- and what he plans to do about it.

( 'rose of the noble castle ...' )

Title: Desire
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 210
Character: Axel
Spoiler Warnings: Passing reference to characters from KH2, and the "Six Days" introductory segment.
Notes: Axel has his reason to hunt in Twilight Town.
(Brief reference to The Prize as well; apologies ahead of time.)

( 'please take my hand ...' )

Title: Fimbulwinter
Challenge: [068]: Time
Wordcount: 218
Character: Vexen
Spoiler Warnings: Passing reference to characters from KH2.
Notes: What does it mean to be in a place that does not exist?
A moment of reflection for XIII Kikan's Number Four.

( 'death's twilight kingdom' )

Title: Blighted
Challenge: [064]: Yin and Yang
Wordcount: 263
Characters: Marluxia
Notes: "Flower" is a beneficial sort of affinity; wood-element a sign of life and growing things. So, why is it yet an Organization affinity ... and why, by chance, did Marluxia rebel?

( 'death is preferable to loss of virtue' )

Title: Clean Slate
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 313
Characters: Two of the Sage's disciples. (Can I name these sods without it being spoilers ...?)
Spoilers: Not really, unless you don't know who these two gentlemen are. Then again, if you don't this might not make as much sense ...
Notes: Just a strange, humorous little moment before everything went to pieces.

( does anyone work well under a deadline? )

.. not what I had in mind for him, but it's a start .. ^_^;

Title: Stormlord
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 90
Characters: Xaldin, (Larxene)
Notes: The best way to deal with upstarts is, sometimes, to do nothing. Or at least make it appear that you do nothing ...

( insurrection is an art ... )

Title: Memory [end of innocence]
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 340
Characters: "Enigmatic Man", (Sora)
Spoiler Warning: If you don't know who the Enigmatic Man is, this may not make a lot of sense. References events in Final Mix; allusions to events, people, places described in Ura Ansem Reports.
Theory Warning: A bit of speculation on the origin -- and owner -- of the Oblivion ...
Notes: Before battle, a brief moment in Hollow Bastion's empty court; someone has more than one interest in dueling Sora.

( dark seed in a radiant garden )

Title: Foundling
Challenge: [60]: Sanctuary
Wordcount: 458
Characters: Ansem, others
Spoilers: Spoilers for characters in KH2 ahead! Arguably spoilers for the whole mess, in fact ...
Notes: Sometimes fate draws people together ...

( a latecomer to the garden )
