How different things will be if sora infant heart not only heal ventus heart but also vanitas?
They still be pure light and dark or instead probably pure dusk and dawn.
(I read some fics with a similar idea though they are discontinued, I just want to hear your thoughts and opinions about it both canon and AU sense)
I have considerable opinions about Sora and Vanitas because yes, sure, the fact that Sora tied himself to Ven's Heart definitely would have made an impact on Vanitas but at the same time I feel like tethering the two of them together was likely an unexpected consequence that has a closer tie to it than we currently assume, or can really prove, at that.
That said if it was more to the point of, when Ven was initially drawn to Sora, Vanitas was as well... it could've changed a lot. Like, Vanitas probably wouldn't have Unversed anymore, a lot.
And for him that would nix what is, essentially, a chronic pain issue. Creating the Unversed, feeling them die, that's a constant cycle which is pretty brutally described in the BBS novels. The Unversed are literal agony for Vanitas. It's not going to stop Xehanort, it won't save him from being beaten and broken and battered so that the old man gets his refined weapon, but-- his misery would be significantly less, his control would have to be aimed at controlling the Heartless, and it's interesting to think about how that would shift things, for them.
Would he hate Ventus half as much as he does in canon? Particularly once he learns how to use Corridors and he's not just stranded in the Graveyard, when he gets to breathe and take care of himself a bit. Would he have half as much reason to hate him? It's...genuinely hard to say because Vanitas' life would be so much easier if his own Heart wasn't nearly as broken as it is now.
Would fusing even work for them, anymore? We know that their fusion only partially worked and yes, I subscribe to the idea that part of that was Ven's unwillingness to become one, but how does Vanitas return to a Heart that no longer has a gap for him to sit in? How does he take Ven back if he doesn't have a gap for him in turn? Potentially, they wouldn't be a bomb, anymore.
Like, the implications of Sora being Sora and connecting to Vanitas are just, they're so wild. I love them, and they are so wild.
