Oh, such a good story~ I found this from a link Lizeth posted on DA, and she was dead on with her high praise for you! I can't wait for an update! It's too bad the links to the pictures aren't coming through, as I would love to see them...

Wow, this is really good. There's too much that I like to be able to put into words, although there is one thing that's confusing me. The swapping back and forth between the past, though interesting, can take a few lines to realize which time frame you're in. And is the 'past' Riku's actual past, or the past of this timeline? Regardless, it's a great story, and I look forward to the next chapter.

Meeh? Where's the rest? I really wanna see how this ends up! Will Sora be bad like Riku was? God I hope so...FINISH PLEASE!

I love this fic; it's extremely well-written and the characters are believable. I really hope that you update soon. This is one of my favorite fics and you put so much work into it. It would be sad to know it's abandoned.
Lovelove, Ruaki... Don't leave us alone... D:

just wondering when will you post the next chapter? by far this is one of my favorite. they're great with rikuxsora interactions especially when they were young and sora tried to calm riku by telling those tales. the part where moogle calling riku-po and crawling him ups and downs are very lovely, at first i was hoping that the little would accompany riku, but yeah, riku couldn't take anymore burden, he only needed sora on priority.

this fic also gives the chill with the idea of sora being on darkside. i guess this is the only fic (in my opinion) that i found it realistic with how sora acted. personally, i couldn't take the idea that sora would be willingly dark, so this synonymy was really perfect in reasoning for him to be dark. your idea of crossing the path was a real impression, you could even go for some original fics :) with this.

on riku's mother past, well that was sad.

cid's dialogues were funny, really suits him that way. don't know why but your cid kinda made me like "oh, i wanna met a real cid one day" he was cute in a way, ha ha.

oh yeah, i also liked the part where riku met the mirage of sora in merlin's house where originally it was sora meeting kairi. and ooh, sora ask riku if they could play. gah, i couldn't stop squealing on that part.

anyway, it's been too long since you haven't update. i've read this few months ago and waited for the new chapter up until now. gr, aren't you going to continue this?

Beautiful story! ;D

I love "Synonymy" very much. Your writing is one of the most beautiful styles I have EVER read. There's a mystical quality to it that automatically draws me in like a moth to flame. Usually, I absolutely detest stories written in first-person point of view. However, this story is an exception.

I do admit that the jumping from third-person POV to first-person POV in the beginning chapters was rather sudden, however, it was nothing I couldn't deal with. The concept of ZioN is a bit foggy to me, but I'll manage. In any case, there was little about "Synonymy" that I found bad.

On an unrelated note, the flashbacks of Riku and Sora's childhood were fun to read too, as they gave depth to the characters and made them seem... alive. It's as though they're real, and I commend your talent with characterization. It's simply fantastic. On another completely unrelated note, Mogki is adorable. XD I wanted to hug the cute 'lil moogle as I read. But I digress...

"A crown? That's kind of lame. Why?
Cause I'm king of the islands!
Hey! What does that make me?
Um... ... my servant!
No way! If you're gonna be king, then I'll be.. uh...
My servant!
No! I'll be the best knight ever! No one will be better than me!

Fingertips caressed the metal, closing over it to capture the charm.

I'll protect the king!"

This quoted bit is one of my FAVORITE parts. I love the symbolism of the crown in this sense, and how Riku is presented as the knight protecting the king, whom is presented as Sora. I don't know... it just seems so deep to me. The thought of the two being portrayed in this sense never occurred to me before, and seeing it in "Synonymy" made me smile. I laughed when I read "Um... ... my servant!" The incorporation of humor is really well-done.

Ah, and another bonus: the uber-long chapters. Kudos. I LOVE long chapters. Yet another pleasant surprise was the art for this story; it's absolutely gorgeous. Absolution's depiction was utterly beautiful. These facets combined with all the other awesome aspects of your story made it a wonderful read. The characterization, plot, writing, art -- EVERYTHING was perfect.

Beautiful job on the story. I really admire your skill in both writing and drawing. I hope the next chapter'll come out soon, because I'll be waiting very eagerly. XD

I like the way you did Athens. You did a good job of adding in all the historical stuff while still keeping the Kingdom Hearts?Disney feel. Pretty Impressive!

The battle scene was great! Definitely worth all the time you put into it. I also enjoyed the bit of comedy relief we got with the visit to Merlin.

An addictive read! I'm enjoying getting to see the interaction between Riku and the other characters he never really got a chance to interact with in the original game.

Okay. I just have to say that the scene where Riku got the keyblade was a bunch of no-holds-barred AWESOME. At the line "I wasn't going to take this shit lying down." I almost started cheering. I don't normally get that moved by stuff I read, so I can say for sure that you're doing something right. ^_~

Wow. I really like this. You are a very good writer!! The take on this I find very interesting and I hope that you will continue it. Has this been discontinued? I would hope not.^^

It is ever so very hard to find a good writer on that often times I question why I still sift through all the garbage to only find a handful of stories worth the light of day. And then I find a story like this one and I am reminded why I trudge on. And it truly saddens me to see such beautiful pieces of work collect dust unfinished. I will not ask you to update. I only ask that you continue writing. For you have what it takes to be a writer.

I just started reading this story and I love it! Can't wait to read the rest of the chapters!

just wondering... are u going to continue this... its been three years and i know that your still here because u update ur favorite stories list. i really enjoy reading this story and its also at a cliffhanger so that really sucks so update soon...please?

I can't believe how many times I've read this over and not reviewed it! *o* Your writing style is almost hypnotic, it drew me in like a magnet. I loved the fragment, and the interaction between Riku, Donald, and Goofy turns out some hilarious results! Riku's memories on Destiny Islands really got to me emotionally, it was magnificent how you depicted them. ^_^ I'm so excited to see what happens next!
