Dark Horse Running - Chapter 1: Different Shades

[incontrast]

Title: Dark Horse Running - Chapter 1: Different Shades
Series: Kingdom Hearts
Rating: T (violence, blood, Vanitas being a freakin creep)
Pairings: None
Genre: Action, general, drama
Word count: 4101
Spoilers: Yes, various series spoilers up through DDD.
Summary: Ventus hadn't thought there was anything left to salvage. Vanitas would have agreed. Turns out they were both wrong. Ventus, Vanitas, and an ongoing legacy of second chances. Genfic.

Note: This is me attempting to run a multi-chapter story for the first time in... literally a decade?? More or less. Y e a h let's see how this goes. |D I'm predicting only about five or so chapters, so even my slow writing skills and short attention span should be able to handle it. Hopefully.

Note #2: After seeing several fandom takes on the Vanitas-switches-alignments angle and only liking one of them, I've decided to try my hand at it. This first chapter should make it obvious that I'm not going the "sweet and sympathetic" route, but sure enough, Vanitas' repentance is the ultimate goal here. This story was started prior to the release of KH2.8, so there will naturally be a lot of guesswork pertaining to KH3.
