* EvenEvilHasStandards: Xenon, a villain who [[spoiler:blew up the entire Prime Cluster and is trying to conquer the multiverse through time travel]], changed his name because his AlternateSelf is trans and he didn't want to implicitly deadname her -- even though he hates her guts, he considers this an act of "basic immutable decency".

[[spoiler:Though another less-altruistic reason for him to change his name is that he's not entirely cis himself.]]

* AlternativeSelfNameChange: {{Alternate Sel|f}}ves Xenon and Nox both changed their name, Nox because she's {{transgender}} and Xenon because keeping his birth name would be kinda like deadnaming Nox.

* AlternativeSelfNameChange: {{Alternate Sel|f}}ves Xenon and Nox both changed their name, Nox because she's {{transgender}} UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} and Xenon because keeping his birth name would be kinda like deadnaming Nox.



* {{Transgender}}: The scientist Nox is a trans woman. Confusingly, her AlternateSelf Xenon claims to still be a cis man, though Nox disputes this. [[spoiler:She's right; they were deliberately suppressing their gender because they hated the idea of having one more similarity to Nox. They end up TakingAThirdOption and identifying as "vaguely non-binary non-male".]]

Added DiffLines:

* ScareQuotes: When Rachel and Riley accept an EnemyMine situation with [[spoiler:their unnamed abrasive headmate]], Riley presents it as a decision on their part, despite Rachel having just pointed out that there's no real choice to be had in the matter -- or as the other party puts it, "You've 'decided' to 'let' me 'join' your 'team'."

Added DiffLines:

* TheNameless: [[spoiler:The antagonistic person Rachel met in the arena of her Dive to the Heart actively refuses to accept any name, partly because he likes being mysterious and partly [[{{Troll}} because he knows it ticks people off]].]]

Added DiffLines:

''Beyond the Borders'' is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' SelfInsertFic by Tropers/{{wingedcatgirl}}, with heavy assistance from James [=CyberLink=]. It started as a ContinuityReboot of wingedcatgirl's ''Fanfic/ADecentSelfInsertProbably'' (but ultimately developed into an entirely distinct story) and could, if you squint real hard, be seen as a companion piece to James's ''Reality Just Is''.

But it's also a published work, so you can read all about it [[Fanfic/BeyondTheBorders on its own page]].

This DarthWiki/DarthWiki page, on the other hand, is for the ''DarthWiki/{{unpublished|Works}}'' portion of the fic -- things written but not yet posted, ideas conceived and not yet written ... and also references to not-yet-launched TLP drafts. That's a ''type'' of "unpublished".

You sure you don't want to read [[Fanfic/BeyondTheBorders the main article]] instead?

!!This fic might, in future, contain examples of:

[[folder:One last chance to not read a bunch of contextless spoilers...]]
* AlternativeSelfNameChange: {{Alternate Sel|f}}ves Xenon and Nox both changed their name, Nox because she's {{transgender}} and Xenon because keeping his birth name would be kinda like deadnaming Nox.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Xenon, a villain who [[spoiler:blew up the entire Prime Cluster and is trying to conquer the multiverse through time travel]], changed his name because his AlternateSelf is trans and he didn't want to implicitly deadname her -- even though he hates her guts, he considers this an act of "basic immutable decency".
* InsistentTerminology: Rachel is not [[spoiler:the "host" or the "original" of the system, she is the "firstborn". She and Riley are of the opinion that the former terms devalue the personhood of the rest of the system.]]
* ShoutOut: Rather than normal profanity, Kira uses the minced oaths from ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' -- shirt, fork, bench, etc.
* {{Transgender}}: The scientist Nox is a trans woman. Confusingly, her AlternateSelf Xenon claims to still be a cis man, though Nox disputes this. [[spoiler:She's right; they were deliberately suppressing their gender because they hated the idea of having one more similarity to Nox. They end up TakingAThirdOption and identifying as "vaguely non-binary non-male".]]

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=ci1d4uud81i0d2dn7n298x1q whatever this one ends up called]]: After Rachel casts Libra, Yuffie uses a FuumaShuriken to show her [[spoiler:the glowing blue lines on her face]] this has somehow caused.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=xeu6tq33yais6yvb4yjf7s3s this one might be a while]]: Rachel points out that nobody with sense would store a firearm with ammunition loaded. After some banter which implies Yuffie had done just that (or else relied on the assumption that someone else had), Rachel sternly repeats "nobody ''with sense''".
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=ye2y3e1rgd1j9cfuo0aa0yz9 "Ridiculous-case scenario" is probably gonna stick]]:
** Shortly after waking up, [[spoiler:Riley]] laments that Rachel is in "basically the worst-case scenario", at which Rachel wonders if the "worst-case scenario" shouldn't be something more like [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGod cultists planning to sacrifice her to a volcano]]. They roll their eyes and clarify that they're talking about things that are actually possible.
** {{Defied|Trope}} by Aerith, who clarifies that when "anything could happen" when an aether-sealing spell breaks, that still only refers to the relatively limited domain of ''things that can happen when an aether-sealing spell breaks'', not ridiculous hypotheticals like "spontaneously casting an unleashed Ultima".
