''The Moon and Polaris'' is a SelfInsertFic of [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters The King of Fighters]] franchise written by [=PKLucky=] and can be read on [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26353465 AO3]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13692149/1/The-Moon-and-Polaris Fanfiction.net]], and [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/244004166-the-moon-and-polaris Wattpad]].
It follows the story of aspiring martial artist Kiki Cruz who travels to Japan from the United States to be mentored by three-time King of Fighters champion Kyo Kusanagi. However, she runs into Kyo's rival Iori Yagami instead and decides to [[BlatantLies gently convince]] him to be her mentor instead.
The fanfic started off as a series of one-shots (aptly named ''The Moon and Polaris (One-Shot Collection)'' which can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23512885 here]]) which were then rewritten into one continuous story.
