Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Rating: T
Pairing: Sora/Riku/Kairi
Summary: In order to buy a political alliance that could get her officially crowned, Princess Kairi has to bring a partner on a diplomatic mission. Her fiancé, Sora, doesn't care for the spotlight, and is terrified of messing the opportunity up for her. So they enlist their best friend, Riku, who is much more suited to the social expectations of a future royal consort. While the three agree to rules intended to protect their relationships to each other, mutual attraction and affection are difficult to turn off. And it isn't long before the stakes for the diplomatic mission itself grow higher as well.

In chapter 3: The negotiations between Kairi and Eclenna begin in earnest, and Riku begins to worry about whether he can really do this.

After only a... six-month hiatus. Oops. But I'm still glad I waited to get the rough draft finished. The rest of the chapters (fingers crossed I stay on schedule) should go up one per week.

Also, now with moodboard/cover thing. Which I'm pretty happy with.
