And the cast list only grows in the sequels.

Working in the shadows to avoid interference from Organization XIII, the group quickly expands to include villains from multiple different franchises. And as they build towards their goal of ultimate conquest of reality, they find themselves facing opposition not only from their respective heroic adversaries, but from rival villainous factions as well.
There are 3 installments as of June 2021:
* [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15267864/chapters/35416329 ''Quite A Glittering Assemblage'']], focusing on the formation of the Overtakers and their quest for the Book of Prophecies
* [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17235797/chapters/40532171 ''Villains of a Sort'']], focusing on the Overtakers as they [[spoiler: recover from their defeat and imprisonment at the end of the original fic]].
* [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22248874/chapters/53127742 ''All the Forces of Evil'']], in which the Overtakers begin branching out to pursue personal vendettas while securing their power base after [[spoiler: conquering Mount Olympus]].
!! ''Quite a Glittering Assemblage'' and its sequels provide examples of the following tropes:
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The series manages to keep the Overtakers sympathetic largely by positioning them against enemies who are even worse than they are.
* TheBadGuyWins: ''Villains of a Sort'' ends with [[spoiler: the Overtakers using the Armageddon Key to destroy the [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Greek gods]] and conquer Olympus. Sora and Riku vanish, and Zeus uses the last of his strength to teleport Hercules to safety before he perishes]].
* BetaCouple: Several of the minor Overtakers end up hooking up during the course of the series:
** Kieran and Sid
** Demyx and Hans
* BrownNote: The Armageddon Key, [[spoiler: a rearrangement of [[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries Rapunzel's moondrop incantation]] that can [[KillTheGod kill gods]] and even ''destroy the tapestry the Fates use to predict the future''.]]
* CasinoEpisode: Hook and Jafar go on a date to [[Film/TheLastJedi Canto Bight]] in ''Villains of a Sort]]
