...you made me cry TWICE. TWICE.

Oh, crying is so nice -w- (Actually, doesn't crying release hormones or something?...)

So not the point. Anyway.

I cannot possibly imagine how you're going to wrap this up in a chapter and an epilogue, but I'm pretty excited for what's to come.

I'm sad to hear this is almost over since I've truly enjoyed reading it over the years.

I see some interesting twists in this chapter with Roxas and what I'm assuming to be Riku's nobody.

I'll be waiting to see how this ends.

Wow, I can't believe I've been reading this for so long (I jumped into reading this in '06, I think.) This is one amazing story you have here.

Stygian Solace leaves me with a lot of food-for-thought, along with various other things (I've been making predictions the entire to, some hits and some misses. It's so much fun =)) I don't know what to say; I could go into all my theories and fangirling and such, but that would take up way too much space.

I just want to show my support and say how very excited (and sad too) I am that SS will reach its final chapter soon. Good luck to you, and thank you for giving us all this wonderful piece of work. =]

Oh my buddah, I've been waiting for this story to end. I've been wanting to see what becomes of Sora and Riku >.< I'm excited keep up the good work and finish! I remember when this story came out...long ago

yay u updated :D
you did a REALLY nice job of weaving the real kingdom heart's story into your own story. it definitely connects with the game but yours is still a different take, and i love that :D
sora in my opinion has the strongest/lightest heart and im happy he's finally able to use the keyblade, but that isn't to say that riku is weak!! his heart is just a mix of darkness and light.
omg so excited for the upcoming chapters, im rooting for you!!
can't wait till the next one, hope you update soon!!

It's utterly insane and amazing that you've been working on this for seven years! Congrats on keeping up the fantastic writing!!

As for the chap itself - gods, the drama and angst! But you kept the plot rolling and I was admittedly surprised to see Sephiroth at least temporarily working WITH the Good Guys. Nice surprise there. All in all - well done!!

I have been following this story since it began...I was in College when i first stumbled on it. When you didn't update for so long i thought "Oh no, another great fanfic abandoned, but then you updated and I felt so happy. i added you to my favorites. Keep it up!

Ah! I saw your update and only then realised that I'd missed a chapter!
I had a feeling that Kairi's heart would have that history but I'm sure it'll end up being more complicated than I imagined! XD

And Cloud is very awesomely paranoid! Now, must read the next chapter! Hurrah!

Your story just seems to get better with every chapter! I am so looking forward to the next chapter and the epilogue!!

Gah! I'm so excited! I got the update in my email and then see the announcement of the seventh year anniversary in your LJ. Seven years. God, it's been so long; but oh so worth it.

I love how even pieces of the game, memorable moments, are getting placed into Stygian Solace. It's the little things like that that please my inner fangirl.

It's still great, wonderful, heartwarming, corny, funny, and a myriad of feelings that come forth while reading each new chapter. And the ending still has new surprises, in depth information that I might not have considered otherwise.

*spoiler*

"Show 'em your princess powers, Yami." Oh my gawd, I thought I was going to die laughing. That was some funny sh*t. XD

I will definatly be here until then end and after. This is THE most memorable Kingdom Hearts fic I have had the honor and luck to come across. There is so much graditute, from not just me I am sure, to you to keeping to Stygian Solace for seven years (gosh, has it really been that long? though just three for me since I started late), it's incrediably admirable and reading it has been a 95% delight, 5% agony as my heart bleeds for Riku and Sora...

I look forward to the next chapter and the long epilogue.

And just because I can't contain it anymore: *squels* ROXAS~~! and Axel~!!

Oh my goodness, I nearly died when I saw this chapter. I really should be filling out college apps, but but but this! Agh, brain melting into a pile of happy goo.

Seriously, this is my favorite fic on this site, and I have read a lot of fanfics in my day. Thank you thank you thank you thank you! You made my day, you made my week, you made my month!

I'll be waiting very impatiently for the next update!

Ya know, when i read chapter 43, i feared you might go 'full-circle' and just reconnect with the original story where Ansem takes Riku (born out of the fact this whole story had me confused for a long, long time), but thank god you didn't! Can't wait to see the finale!

But if you do end it like Kingdom Hearts I ended (riku and Mickey behind the door) then i hope you plan on a sequel...

Gah, you have no idea how excited I was to freakin' read this chapter! It felt like ages, I'm so glad! Happy Anniversary, SS!

:3

Okay, so, the chapter. I'm betting it's Mickey. Yes. That's my guess, the person talking to Riku at the end. I cannot wait for the next chapters!
And Roxas! Wo, he's finally here. 8D

No real critique, I'm just too excited over this chapter! BLOWN AWAY!

very nice... *huggles roxas*
