The World Ends With You, "Promises" (Shiki)

[sincere]

She wanted so much to be Eri but she never really thought about what that would mean giving up. What finally drives it home for her is clothing -- perhaps naturally.
Contains core character issues expressed via pretty clothes. Little drabble to the fic_promptly prompt "she finds that she's disappointed to look in the mirror and see Eri". I've got a lot of those prompts to post by now...


.promises.
( Fashion is important, Neku. )

The World Ends With You, "Unresolved Issues" (Kariya+/Uzuki)

[sincere]

After seven days of hell, Yashiro Uzuki was still dead. She hadn't made peace with herself. She hadn't become a better person. She hadn't learned the value of life - or whatever you were supposed to learn. But all of that was part of why the Reaper who tormented her decided to come get her.
Contains approximately 100% headcanon. I did a lot of thinking about why Uzuki was in the Game, what was holding her back, and what her entry fee would have been. It's not even half covered in here, but I really liked writing in Kariya's POV. Written to the fic_promptly prompt, "they meet again as allies the day after her Game ends".


.unresolved issues.
( It wasn't hard, really, to see when a person was dragging themselves down. )
