Rest is a short one-shot Kill la Kill fanfic by janewithawhy, which concerns a sleeping Satsuki and Ryuuko in the early winter morning hours.
Tropes used in Rest include:
- All Just a Dream: It is implied that the cuddling Ryuuko and Satsuki were doing was just a memory.
- Dead All Along: This is implied to be the case with Ryuuko.
- Downer Ending: And a heartbreaking one at that.
- The Ending Changes Everything: We have what appears to a genuinely sweet story of sisterly interactions between Satsuki and Ryuuko as they cuddle and tussle in bed, however, it's not, as the ending implies that Ryuuko was Dead All Along, leaving behind her ghost and a memory.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It does concern sleeping.
- Ghostly Chill: Apparently, but the story does take place in winter.
- Seasonal Baggage: The winter seems to be associated with sadness, if the summary gives a clue:
- Summary: Winter plays its light tricks on the waiting.
- Slice of Life: Somewhat, in that it concerns Satsuki and Ryuuko during the early morning hours.
