1. I think my first ever ship on here was actually Riqua thanks to @heartsdive, the two of them are both having experienced the Realm of Darkness; Riku understands better than anyone what it’s like to be struggling with darkness and inner demons, so he’s a shoulder for Aqua to lean on when she needs it.

2. RikuRoku. They just have a really interesting dynamic and the way they met is certainly a unique one, it’s nice to see how much they have grown since that first initial meeting. I’m glad that I’ve gotten the chance to write both sides where they make up for their actions in the past and start fresh.

3. Rikai / Sorikai / Soriku. Honestly I love the Destiny Trio, I do wish Riku had gotten more time to interact with Kairi, we hardly got to see the two of them together since KH2 and its kind of sad. After all they were friends too and Riku clearly had feelings for her in KH1 if he was going to suggest that if he won, he got to share a paopu fruit with her.

4. Veniku. Ventus and Riku are such a unique pairing, especially since Riku is a dreameater of sorts? This pair has gained a place in my heart thanks to @foundliight and their Ventus, since their Ventus tends to get nightmares and since Riku doesn’t typically sleep due to insomnia as well as PTSD; he tends to make sure that everyone else is alright and sleeping soundly. He looks out for him.

5. This is tough because i have a lot of feelings for a bunch of ships for Riku. So i’m gonna add my honourable mentions here. Rikushi /RikuXi because the two of them wanted to do what was right and help their friend, even if it wasn’t the best way. I know he didn’t treat her right when they first met, but he realized his mistake and saw her as her own person.RikuNami is another precious ship which technically is built on RepliNami, Riku had time to meet her and get to know her while she was working on fixing Sora’s Memories. The two of them had gotten close during their time together and he cared about her.Lastly, Vaniku. This one was one that crept up on me, but Riku and Vanitas both understand what it’s like to be in someone else’s shadow- or more specifically Sora’s ‘Shadow’. At first it would be a bit antagonist it, but I could see the two of them getting along and understanding one another.

1. I know this is gonna surprise some people but uh… Avaced. This is all thanks to Leche and their Aced blog ( @ursaced ). Honestly the dynamic they have is really special and they sort of mesh in a way that I never would have expected. He’s her big Teddy Bear and She’s his feisty Fox. The two of them already must have been close since he had asked her to form an alliance with him in Backcover, alongside Gula.

2. Gulava. This shouldn’t be a surprise but just watching their interactions and the little subtleties in Backcover, it’s not hard to tell that they are close. They are almost always in close proximity to one another. Ava cares a lot for Gula, and vice versa. Especially considering Gula does the one thing he isn’t suppose to do which is tell Ava about what’s written on the Lost Page, what he wants to do. And while she doesn’t help him, he seems to know that and admires her for her strength to do what’s right. I’m writing her with my friend on discord and their Gula, and god I love them so much. You know who you are~

3. Luva. I just think they have an interesting dynamic, and which we had gotten to see Luxu interact with the other apprentices more. But I’m basing this on my interactions with @gravitasfatum‘s Luxu. The two of them are awkward and precious around one another. And while it can be read as platonic or romantic, Ava wants Luxu to know that he deserves to be happy; even if things didn’t work on in the end as she thought he had been the traitor.

4. This one crept up on me since I have a verse where Ava had made it to the future and ended up meeting Vanitas. This Vanitas belongs to @vanities-redemption, the two of them end up travelling together and experiencing different worlds and experiences together. It’s with Ava’s help that Vanitas realizes what he was missing and it was because of him that she realized the mistakes that she made in the past.

1. Okay so it if wasn’t obvious on this blog by now but, I am a sucker for VanNami or rather Vanitas and Naminé. This ship really got rolling thanks to @tenebrxsus, and honestly, there development and bond is really important to me. They’ve come so far and its really sweet watching them because they care a lot for one another and are extremely protective of one another.

2. Another ship I fell in love with and found was super underrated was VenNami, which thanks to both @windsnull and @foundliight, I’ve come to love and adore it because both characters are precious and sweet. The two of them also ironically were in the same location, Castle Oblivion, which I just found out and wonder if it would have been possible for Naminé to communicate with Ventus while messing with memories.

3. RokuNami. I think this one is pretty explanatory, but every since I saw KH2, I fell in love with them. Even though their interactions were short and limited, she helped him even if it was to help Sora. She wanted Roxas to know the truth, because he deserved to know it. After all the lies and half answers he was given, he deserved to know what was being hidden from him. I know my threads with @serendimpetus are some of my favourite because it helps explore a different path.

4. This one snuck up on me but NamiMax is adorable and I have @pageofgoof to thank for it. They are so cute and precious, because Naminé is just happy to be around the other and know she isn’t the only one learning how to use their magic. They get along pretty well and have a sweet bond that I’m so happy that its a thing now.
