[info]stellwind and I are writing a fic for Kingdom Hearts. It's going to be great, but we both suck at summaries.

"Why do you need to die for me to be complete?" Sora won't settle for this, and Roxas is finding that having a heart again is a lot harder than he'd thought it would be.

"You're a Nobody, but you're you, not me. And I don't want you to die." Although if Sora, Riku and Kairi can't figure out who's behind the new attacks, it'll be a moot point.

If it means I have a heart, I'd rather be you." Roxas wants to fade into Sora's heart. Sora is opposed. But with Sora, Kairi and Riku needed again, he might not be able to do anything about it.

Actually... combine "Why do you need to die for me to be complete?" which has the most impact in the shortest number of words (important for a summary!) in that we learn it's Sora POV and we know the stakes are high -- Roxas "dying" -- then combine with "Although if Sora, Riku and Kairi can't figure out who's behind the new attacks, it'll be a moot point." because it indicates who else is involved and the external danger that is getting in their way. the other two summaries are too vague about there being an external danger -- "being needed again" is just not OMGDANGER enough, and the first summary doesn't even hint at it being anything but an internal conflict.

... I hope it makes sense. .__.;

That's really helpful. I'll point Stella at this suggestion and we'll see what we can work up.
