Oh, God.

I read and favorited this story so long ago, but I haven't been able to craft a review yet. This story is so utterly heartbreaking, I can't read it without tearing up.

I came back to it after a discussion about what makes Great Writing so great, and I've concluded that I don't know what it is, but you have it. This story just has that something, it reaches right into my heart and makes me ache for Wakka and poor Yuna.

I never liked Yuna in the game, ever, but I love the way you've written her, and I really believe she's as strong as people say she is. I love the hopeful tinge at the end, like - everything is so wrong now, but it will get better and we can weather this. I just... I cannot talk enough about how beautiful this fic is.

Even though you say this is a rough draft, it doesn't feel that way to me. The way you got Yuna and Wakka down was so absolutely perfect, it puts X-2 to shame. Why, oh, why did Square have to ruin these characters, I'll never know. I'm definitely going to call this fic of yours is my true ending for FFX.

This is probably my favourite oneshot from you. It is very beautifully writen. It'd be interesting to see your revised version because I think that this is a great story with out.

Well written story. Nicely done and an incredible piece of fanfic. Wonderful pov on Wakka. I almost cried, seriously, and I think you did a wonderful job with this.

If ever a story brought me to tears, it's this one - a feat that until now hasn't been accomplished. Surprising that it would be a Wakka/Yuna that made me bawl like a child with a toothache.

Yes, there were errors and I hope you find the will to return to this and correct them. However, I don't think I've ever stumbled upon anything as poignant and beautiful and *bittersweet* as this. Truly, you're a gifted person and I feel privileged to have read "Wheeled...".

Oh, this is just lovely. Who would have guess Wakka and Yuna would work together...? But it's just wonderful.

Wow. WOW. onto the favorites list you go.

WOW. Just ... wow. It's so sad that a crappy-assed highschool fic with bad grammar can get so many admirers while this has been appretiated by only a fraction of the number that it should. ;_;

Anyways, totally outstanding. The interaction between Yuna and Wakka is _so_good_; the last scene is the best. Especially the last three paragraphs of imagery(which this fic is loaded with) and the last line. It was like I was watching it... I loved this fic, it was so emotional and surreal and ethereal and every other word that describes a magnificent fanfiction. And I don't mind the sorta cut-and-paste drabble sort of style you did; everything was so well-written, I didn't care. In fact, it was effective in this fic because the present was linked so closely with Yuna and Wakka's memories.

So great job, I can't wait to read more from you. :-) and PS: Even though it's fun gameplay-wise, DON'T you dare play X-2, because your version of Yuna after Sin is so much more accurate. "X-2 Yuna"(yuck :-/) might influence your future fics. O_O No! XD

For what you call a rough draft, this is marvelous. *Regardless*, "Wheeled..." is a great story; well-paced, well-written, and poignantly beautiful throughout. I like the way you've phrased Wakka's thoughts, and the recurring images - of love of many sorts, of childhood, of swimming, and water, and all that that implies - work very well.

Keep up the great work, and Cheers!

So, I've just read and reviewed "Hail the Thief" and I had said I was wary of this fic because I feared spoilers. And, to be honest, I was a bit afraid I'd find an overly shippy Wakka/Yuna fic, and truth be told I wasn't ready for it.

Well, I always did have horrible will power, and I succumbed to temptation. And... wow, I'm so glad I did. This was amazing prose. Gorgeous and elegant and heartwrenchingly poignant. I would quote my favorite line(s) but I'd have to do the entire thing. This line, however:

"Wakka has lost his brother twice-over, and his faith in god. He isn't sure which hurts more."

Completely hits you in the gut with a steel-toed boot and leaves you gasping for breath. You write Wakka so incredibly well, every "snapshot" captures his melancholy and feeling of helplessness, without having to spell it out blatently.

Once again, a job very well done. I do hope to see more of you.

Wow. Simply gorgeous.

God, this was beautiful.

This has got to be one of the best damn FFX fics I've ever read! It was simply wonderful! Very powerful and true to the characters. Finally some insightfulness! Thanks for sharing _.

I think I'm going to kill you. Simply on the basis that you almost made me cry, /and/ you call this a mistake.

That honestly was beautiful. It was worth wading through the Pit of Voles in a moment of masochism to find this.

I don't really think you /should/ edit it; it's so clean, and simple, and heartbreakingly emotive.

Oh my. Oh my goodness. You call this lovely little masterpiece a rough draft? This is the sort of stuff I _live_ on. Breathy, ethereal, and utterly wonderful.

You really set the mood throughout the piece - it's so meleancholy, so sad. Your writing is almost poetic, little snapshots in time that are all neatly stiched together to form into...this. ) It really is quite lovely, I think.

I'm adding it to my favorites list, simply because you cannot find a Wakka piece as good as this, plus because I _loved_ it.
