Vanitas never had any reason to be loyal to Xehanort. Had he realized this fact the day he was created, maybe his life would have taken a different path entirely? / An Alternate Timeline in which Vanitas betrays Xehanort and is taken into custody by Eraqus. Will cover the entire time-span of Birth by Sleep. No Pairings.

Most days, Quillsh Wammy's name on the building is the only piece of him Roger has. But some days, he comes to visit.

Thirty years ago L fell and, with him, his justice was forced down into an unmarked grave. After L's diminish, different organizations had tried to obtain the ultimate power of rewriting the world under their own laws. AU Fanfic that focuses on Near and Mello.

No one had ever understood why he seemed so patient with Mello and unaffected by the – presumed – one-sided rivalry he had with him. An exploration of Near's thoughts on his rivalry with Mello, meronia, can be read as mutual or one-sided, rated for swears

Near's eyesight has never been perfect, but ever since the explosion destroyed Mello's hideout with the fool still inside, he's been inexplicably going blind. (Vague, one-sided Near x Mello.)

The soul mark, imprinted into each human being, reads the name of the person destined to be one's soul mate. Upon finding and touching the hand of that person, a connection is created, linking the two minds together as one. It is by chance that Near hears Mello's words: "You can't be my soul mate, Matt, there's no way your parents would've named you 'Nate'." MelloxNear.

A little boy all in white stood by the station. Out of place. It wasn't like him to venture outside, and alone. And yet, and yet... the bells were sounding, the ghosts were calling. (Post-canon oneshot.)

(Or the artist who really hates colors, but likes three boys who happen to embody a spectrum of hues).

Memories, nostalgy and promises on December 26th 2009. One last fic for Mello and Matt.

A month has passed since the events of the Game ended, and Neku has uncovered the secret report. Watching from the UG, Joshua learns of Sanae's betrayal and confronts him. However, Sanae isn't the only one guilty of betrayal, and Joshua will have to learn to feel regret for his own actions if he wants to understand Sanae's.

[AE] Near had been wrong about one thing. Light wasn't dead by the time they stumbled upon his body, and all because of a little loophole (or a little sympathy, perhaps) on Ryuk's part.

Mello's maturity was jarring compared to how Near had embedded him in his mind. He remembered how Mello had looked, his behavior and mannerisms that made him who he was. But now all Near saw were the hollow echoes of a ruined empire. Could a night away from the outside world hold the potential to bridge the chasm between what had been, what could've been, and what would never? MxN.

Ryuk looks at Light Yagami as he fades. [Short, Abstract]

Sequel to The Art of Isolation. A year after his supposed death, there are copious amounts of questions to be answered, and scraps of broken trust to be mended when Mello reappears in Near and Michael's lives. However, things can never really be that easy, as danger seems to follow on Mello's trail like a bad habit. MxN.

A quick examination of L's mindset before the rooftop scene.

Set just after the Akatsuki assault on Suna, all three siblings must face the aftermath, including each other. (I do not own Naruto).

Mello and Near are two conflicting forces, but Matt was able to drive them into a state of Equilibrium (when two opposite forces are balanced), for a little while, at least.

Mello has something left to say.

Kira is dead; many have fallen in the conflict. Left behind, Near sits and remembers those who fought and fell. Objects could never suffice in displaying the light and life of the ghosts they represent.

Neku and Joshua talk about chess, the new Conductor, and tigers. Post-game catching up between begrudging friends.

Written from an idea that was offered to me which was: "Mello meeting Near years after the end of the Kira case and Near is not doing too well for himself. He's in a bad place emotionally and financially, and nobody from his original team is still with him." MelloxNear.

[COMPLETE] What if Sync hadn't fallen into the core? What if he'd been taken captive by Luke and the others instead? A series of side stories.

Loki searches for reassurance, and comes to a decision.

Temari steals a moment to herself amidst the chaos.

The beginning of a new time in Mello's life and he has to meet them to live it. [Possible chapters to come. Maybe not.]

Some parents leave behind pictures or memories. My mother left behind her killer.

Drabble poem. Near-centric

Even as he held the old toy close, Near knew that he was alone.

Ever wondered how Shiki Misaki met her demise? Well, friend...

AU: In a world where Loki always knew who he was, where he stood in the world, and where both his mother and father were always loyally behind him, many of the holes in his soul never formed. But even if all is well with Loki, not all is well with their family. Secrets still sleep, jealously still breeds, pride still grows, and it will tear the royal family asunder.

Faced with an eternity without his brother, Loki strikes a bargain to change the past. Post TDW. (NOW COMPLETE)

This was a mistake. He was a mistake. Michael was never supposed to happen, and Near is willing to go to desperate measures to make sure nobody knows about it. But Mello isn't willing to let Near throw their child away quite so easily. Mpreg, MxN.

He didn't ask for so much blood to be shed by his hands. In fact, he didn't ask for this 'condition' at all.

After losing contact with her elder sister going to a graduate school in Tokyo, Xion travels there to check up on her. What she discovers however is that no one seems to know who her sister is, yet the lab are hiding something which could be connected to her disappearance. Xion decides to investigate, unaware of the dangers of discovering the truth... Rated T for Suicide.

Vanitas has been broken for much too long, and he's determined to be whole again. But when Ventus's light proves too weak to merge with, Vanitas finds himself without any options . . . until he saw her.

"Joshua is not alive. He is an image on a computer screen, a mutant strand of numbers. He is the ghost in Neku's computer, an afterthought, a misspelled word. He is a glitch. Joshua is a glitch and he is not alive. But he wants to be." AU, Joshua and Neku

Sometimes, he remembers what it was like to be human, and he can't stand it. Because then, sometimes, he regrets his weaknesses. He hates them. He hates himself. Sometimes, he regrets ever being born. Joshua, Neku. Post-Game. Multi-Chapter.

Sometimes, she hears whispers of things that have been and will be, though she has no proof. At other times, however, she can hear nothing but the howls of the wind. The desert may speak, but she cannot always hear. And there, she believes, lay the problem. Naruto. 723 words.

"There is nothing wrong with him, but then again, maybe it's everything that's wrong with him. Maybe he was never sane to begin with." Joshua-centric one-shot. Pre-3D, TWEWY spoilers.

Previously called Amaranthinum. While Joshua struggles to survive in the game between him and the angels, Neku struggles to understand the Composer. After all he's the only one who can help Joshua, as his only friend in the RG. Joshua/Neku friendship.R&R

"Vanitas Vanitatum, Omnia Vanitas." What is this existence? Why fight the enveloping darkness? A short, rather morbid piece inspired by Vanitas. Warning: Contains some dark elements.

The morning after Gaara flees with Kankuro and Temari from the failed Konoha Invasion, how will he and his siblings react to his emerging new view of life? Will Gaara, as he has feared, simply vanish from this world, or will his life serve a purpose?

It's Christmas once again, and this year Near's convinced that he will spend it alone. However, when a mysterious box is sent to the SPK building, Near finds out how wrong he really is. Hints of MxN. Rated to be safe.

Wammy's House, Mello Centric, Mello has a nightmare that gets to him. In the end it leads him to question just how perfect Near really is. MelloNear if you squint, Beyond Birthday is mentioned.

Like all of Near’s downfalls, this too was Mello’s fault. No, that was incorrect. Mello was a downfall in and of himself. One-sided Near/Mello.

SANDSIBS fic. What does it mean to be brothers? Gaara didn't used to consider Kankuro his brother, but their relationship has slowly changed. Can they cement their bond? Set post Shippuuden ep. 32. Now the first story in a series.

[Manga based. Character study. Pyschological.] Gaara doesn't understand how to be just human. [SPOILERS up to Manga 280]

A ripped shirt. That's all Gaara communicated with, sending one every time his siblings attempted conversation.
