Summary
Surely this couldn’t be happening. Had Sora… given up? Sora, whose heart opened its doors to all in need of shelter, who laughed while slaying hordes of monsters? Sora, who dragged Riku bodily out of the darkness and into his light? Sora, who forgave him for everything he’d done without a second thought?
Riku reunites with Sora, but he never thought that in the time it had taken him to get there, Sora may have already accepted his fate. KHIV.

Summary
Sora’s fingers brushed near the hilt of his Keyblade more than once—an unconscious gesture, the muscle memory of someone who hadn’t stopped fighting even when the war was over. His shoulders jumped at a clang from a nearby bakery, his entire body flinching at the crash of a cart overturning in the alley. Each time, he played it off—adjusting his glove, scratching his neck, tying his shoe.
But Riku noticed.
He’d seen this before. Hell, he’d lived it.
It was in the way Sora’s eyes darted too fast across open spaces. The way he subtly scanned rooftops and shadows without thinking. How his breathing was just a little too quick, like he was still waiting for a Heartless or a Nobody or something worse to drop out of the sky.Riku notices Sora isn't coping very well. How will he get his smiley Sora back?

Summary
Riku frowns at it, then gasps, registering the changes. Soul Eater is… different. The same, but not. The hilt is no longer so demonic in shape. Half of it has changed, becoming feathers, shaped softly like a bird's wing. The length of the blade is longer, the end still curving into the sharp spikes, but another feathery wing branching off the end. Becoming the teeth… of a Key—
No. No.
Riku drops it in a panic, heart fluttering. Did he steal Sora's Keyblade again? He can't have — Sora still had his when they fought. Riku hadn't pulled it to himself, exerted his will to claim it.
No, this is Soul Eater still. His blade. Darkness still courses through it; of course it is his.
What has he done?
Riku, a changing Keyblade, and the breaking of the day after the night.
