* ''Synopsis'': [[WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw Harvey Birdman]], along with his faithful sidekick, Peter Potamus, goes to The Castle That Never Was to arrest the leader of Organization XIII, Xemnas, alleging copyright violation, since his WeaponOfChoice reminds a lightsaber from StarWars.

* ''Synopsis:'' A ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''/''Franchise/FireEmblem'' crossover that follows the plot of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'', as experienced by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Yuna]]. Due to the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters nature of both fandoms]], this is already showing signs of being a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. {{Magitek}} abounds, since mages and healers are common despite the contemporary setting.

* Comments: Well-written and lovingly made; a must-read for Riku fans. The characterization is nuanced and faithful to canon. Though the story goes with the less popular Riku/Kairi pairing, the ship is very well written and done in a way that is respectful to their friendship with Sora. In addition, Antipode restores [[TheSoulless Xemnas']] status as a TragicVillain, exploring his characterization from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Final Mix''. The series is full of Disney references, from the blockbuster films to the more obscure Saturday Morning cartoons. Though its a long read (and the first fic has aged a bit), it very much captures the heart and feel of Franchise/KingdomHearts whilst keeping its plot fairly manageable. It embraces its potential as a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover event without going overboard. Overall, Antipode is a massive love letter to both the Franchise/KingdomHearts franchise and Disney as a whole.

* Comments: Well-written and lovingly made; a must-read for Riku fans. The characterization is nuanced and faithful to canon. While the first story follows a similar story structure to the original Kingdom Hearts, subsequent entries diverge completely from canon, borrowing elements from the games when necessary. The story also gives Kairi time to shine and restores Xemnas's status as a TragicVillain.

** ''Comments:'' This series of fanfics is published in "episodes" of nine chapters each. It really takes the phrase "alternate universe" literally - Seraph prefaces each episode by stating that he takes "great liberties...with names, places, etc. in order to create as original a story as possible." Among these liberties include characters being given more "realistic" names (for example, Demyx becoming "Tim"), and in some cases [[GenderFlip gender flipped]] (Xaldin gets renamed Linda, Marluxia is now a {{Bifauxnen}} "Marley," and Vexen is Ansem's wife). However, the series nevertheless gets a lot of details right about appearances and personalities (JerkJock Axel, despite being naturally dirty-blond like his twin Tim, dyes his hair red to match his canon counterpart, and at least once he utters his catchphrase, "Got it memorized?") It's also highly serialized, so definitely make sure to read the episodes in order (although Episode 2, which mostly consists of flashbacks, may be read out of order with Episode 1). And it's surprisingly {{Troperiffic}}, with enough pop-culture references to turn the heads of Creator/JossWhedon or Creator/DanHarmon, which really adds to the fun. It really SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove.

* ''Comments'': It's so hard to find an Axel-fic that isn't a) a slash-fic or b) completely out of character. THIS story, on the other hand, is neither of those. It's wonderfully written, set in a fascinating AU-verse that ''doesn't'' just ignore the events of the main storyline, and keeps Axel so brilliantly in-character that I am continually awed by Broken Republic's skill. Not to mention that its comment section SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove, seriously. This is an amazing piece of literature that deserves more than it's getting.

* ''Pairing'': Sora/Kairi/Riku
