YMMV / Hurricane Heartbeat

• Fanfic Fuel: At one point during the Time Skip in Chapter 6, Merlin had a Wizard Duel with Maleficent, which resulted in the former being severely weakened. How did it go?
• Funny Moments:
  • Pete gives Maleficent a progress update on their conquest of the worlds.
    Our trusty compatriots, Captain James T. Hook and Oogie Hieronymus Boogie, weighed anchor on the world just this morning. The dwarves have since been evicted from their woodlands, the prince is a whole lot less charming, and our princess… is in another castle.
  • Throughout the above scene, Hades can be heard throwing a tantrum over his plan being foiled off-screen. Pete recounts his attack on Mount Olympus, which culminated in him turning the Titans into Heartless.
    Hades: WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT OVER-INFLATED CAT, I’M GONNA ROAST HIM!
  • Though The Stinger is tear-jerking nonetheless, it ends on a more lighthearted note as a five-year-old Sora meets Chirithy and procceeds to give him a hug.
    "KITTY! MY NAME’S SORA, AND I’M GONNA HUG YOU AND SQUEEZE YOU AND CALL YOU ‘MR. KITTY!’
    “My name is Chiri—AAAGH!”
    Chiriaarg squeaked.
• Realism-Induced Horror: Riku shows disturbingly realistic signs of a child from an abusive household. He stresses over keeping up his grades, knowing that if he doesn't, his parents will "take it out on him". He comes to school one day limping while wearing a jacket in the middle of summer, as though he's hiding injuries. He spends a lot of time with Sora's family and seems almost fearful of the possibility of his parents showing up. Its no wonder he was so eager to leave home.
