Amazing, amazing. I loved it.
I like how you wrote the thoughts slightly rambly and long, and it made it somehow more Rikku in the way, and more believable. I also loved the pinwheels little sidetrip about long hair - it brought a spark that made the piece special. :]

This is just the right mix of sad, sweet, and unbearably hilarious. Also, you had me laughing fit to bust at "big bloated death tick." I'm glad someone else thinks the same of Yu Yevon.

Best. Story. Ever.

You are one amazing writer. Your works always make me laugh, feel sad, inspire and think "god, there are so many intelligent people in the world why aren't they around me?"

This story is magnificent! I love Rikku and the idea of pinwheels instead of flowers, and I love her humungo crush and her talking to inanimate objects and happy faces. Also, the nod towards the long hair in X-2 (which I thought was a horrid sequel but what can you do?).

Anywho, the ending was sweet, and I lulz at Auron and his "no" face (probably) and his responses.

I feel so bad for Rikku. I wish Auron had lived. I also love the reference to liking Kimahri, which would have been hilarious and awesome at the same time.

Amazing job! Keep on doing what you do crazily and awesomely well!

Adios!

That was so awesome. the whole thing actually felt as if it was written by Rikku herself. It was all a class and huge mess of words and lots of images going on at once, to the point that it was slightly confusing, but that is how i always imagined her mind to be like. Well done.

Woow, I can't believe I didn't review this sooner. I read it ages ago and loved it, and now I've read it again and still love it!
I find Aurikku hard to like for some reason, but you've made this the most wonderful pairing in the world. ^^

fdhfjkasdhfjk WUH ;_; That's so depressing, but so happy at the same time. :3 Nicely done. Rikku was pretty well characterized, too, I must say. The writing style might have been a bit difficult to wade through on occasion, but it wasn't bad at all. ^+^ Keep writing~!

I have not seen this level of talent in a long while. Your writing was so vivid and playful. It was like a collage of imagery and feelings that formed a beautiful living masterpiece.

I loved how you used the pinwheel imagery to keep the angst and tragic feelings at bay. It was adorable how their movement or lack thereof personified the characters they were a tribute to. You kept a very light and positive mood in your writing when it's more natural to make it depressing. I commend you for that. It's true to Rikku and makes this story stand out even more wonderfully.

Beautiful. I really enjoyed this.

my brain had major issues processing some of the crazycrazycrazy rikkuness of the ENTIRE piece, but in the end i think it's cute? haha. rikku was on-spot PERFECT. teach me, woman! (: just kidding. i like the end especially. she would totally get his coat, had he died any other way. i betcha.

(: all i have to say is a m a z i n g job. you're my hero.

This was absolutely, gloriously, wonderfully spectacular. The way you capture Rikku's mourning is unutterably amazing and it makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I felt as if I am there standing beside Rikku over their graves and I could feel all of her hopeful, sad, happy, and angry emotions as if they were my own. Rikku feels so real and so tangible throughout the entire thing, after reading the last sentence and found my self unable (and I still find myself unable) to believe that Rikku's field of ancestors only exists in fiction and that if I sought it out I could not stand over the colorful blitzball that represents Tidus. This fanfiction is just to great to put into words, I love it and I envy your talents to the point that it hurts.

This is an amazing story.

This is hands down, one of the best Aurikku fics out there. It's believable and you captured Rikku's personality down to the pat. It's bitter sweet and not overly mushy or angsty.

And the last scene in this fic involving the pudding is definitely the icing on top of the cake. It's so . . . right and sweet yet also sad. I actually teared up a bit when I read this fic and I could feel Rikku's emotions.

I do hope you'll be writing more Aurikku in the future and not just a one-shot but a multi-chapter one.

Am favoriting this story.

I don't like Aurikku. I nearly despise it. If I ran a Rikku shrine, which I very well might because she's just awesome like that, I'd write a whole freakin' essay on why I don't like Aurikku. And with this fanfiction, I am a believer. I get it.

And you're mean for making me this way. Rawr. xD

I absolutely loved the sad little 'whe' when the blitzball deflated. I had to reread the sentence two or three times cause I didn't know it -was- a blitzball at first, but then I started laughing. ^^ And it was long, but not in a God-please-let-this-end kind of way. It was a nice long. And I really was glad you put in the part about growing your hair long - it explains why Yuna and Rikku's hair was six feet longer in the second game. xD Though realistically, two years without a haircut, Rikku's hair length is possible. Yuna's - ehh, not so much. Anyway. I babbled. But this fic is awesome, and now I can't write an anti-Aurikku essay. That takes one page of content off any future shrine. Dx Aww, darn.

You rule.

I liked it... but as most aurikku fics, it was slightly sad.

That was so sweet, so sad, and so perfectly Rikku.
