I've been reading this story for...God I don't even know how long. I do remember waiting and waiting for it to be finished so I could have the whole picture to myself but that was a long time ago. But...every once in a while I come back and read this, hell, I have it saved on my computer in case this or you disappears and I'm so worried about losing it I even have a paper copy somewhere. Anyways...what I wanted to know is...what inspired you to writ this? I mean, this is one hell of something, there must have been something to churn this out from...right?

very interesting at the beginning. a little crack in the middle. stressful at the near ending. and the ending itself had me shocked. really really shocked. you had a way in writing. when i finished i felt a little sickened. and that means your story leaves great impact. lover your writing and hope to see another KH fiction out. oh, when you rated this one 'M' i really think this's the very first 'm' for stressful content.

I don't even know how to review such an amazingly written story. You basically took every expectation I had (most of which involved tropes that authors tend to use when it comes to mental or physical illnesses) and flipped them upside-down.

This was, for lack of a better word, brilliant.

Thank you for an amazing read!

There are no words that can describe my emotional reaction to finally finishing this story. However, I would like to comment that it is fantastic beyond any sentence that I can dredge up. Fantastic work, as always.

I...can honestly say I wasnt expecting that ending.

They both died...that is so sad! especially because Kairi was always helping...but no1 helped her!

This story made me thing until I didnt want to think anymore. It was beautifully written and captivating.

To put it in its most naked form.

You are amazing. As is this story. Just so...good. (but veryveryvery sad)

Well that's sad :( - That is actually what I said out loud to myself at the very end. Very very beautiful but sad sad sad story :( xx

Don't write fanfiction anymore, just do original stuff and get it published already. You're amazing.

There is something indescribable about this story. I don't know what it is. I first read this in early 2007, almost 4 years ago. And it still remains on my mind. I vaguely remember details, events, and people, but that's not what's really important. This story has some sort of power over me that, deep down, I have never felt from any other story I have ever read. Even the Tolkien world, while enthralling, does not make me hurt and question my very existence like this story did.

I don't know how to explain it. This story wrecked me, over and over again. I stayed up all night reading it and went to school the next morning in a buzz. I told all my friends about this story, but I was too afraid to share too much, as if the precious gift would be maimed and taken away. I still remember that day as one of my fondest memories.

I left the song "A Decade Under the Influence" by Taking Back Sunday on repeat the whole time as I read this story. Even as I listen to this song now and read this story, a tear comes to my eye.

'Suburbia' raises so many questions. In the midst of love, death, tragedy, and friendship, who are we? I noticed that another reviewer had similar questions after finishing this story. The ending, with Sora looking out over Suburbia, is one of the two most memorable and powerful endings I've ever read (see 1984 for the other one.) Ultimately I think this story is very spiritual. As a whole, it is somehow transcendent and greater than the sum of its part. For me, this story is a meditation on my entire life and existence that is just as powerful as any "religious" meditation.

Bless you, and thank you, for this wonderful gift. I will cherish it forever. It is the golden standard of all fan-fiction, and even literature: to transcend the written word and sink into the mind of the reader permanently.

I could write so much more, but I will leave it at this.

This was excellently written. Heartbreaking. Thank you for writing it.

Very catching start. I love that Sora hates the classics because they're boring and likes modern better, that's me for sure. People always go on about classics in entertainment but sheesh most "classics" are so overrated. Can't wait to see how Riku handles the rest of the summer :).

I love this story so much! Thank you for writing it. I just fucking love everything about it, even the ending.

Also sorry about the earlier post... I was having a shitty day and the ending made it worse. V.V

This really was a great story, good character growth, funny dialogues, not much of a plot but still not bad! But then we get to the pathetic, depressing, abrupt, disgustingly short and completely uncalled for ending. A story that I would have rated at least a seven out of ten now gets kicked down to a measly two out of ten because of a shitty ending. Unless you work on your endings for your stories don't bother writing anymore.

I absolutely adore this story. I read it a few years ago and I remember thinking how amazing it was so I decided to read it again. There is something so raw and real about it and it affects me in ways I'm not even sure I can put into words. Over the years I'd forgotten some details of the story but I've always remembered the end because, to me, it is perfect.

I can't fucking believe what you did to the story! This was the worst ending I have ever seen in my entire fucking life! I hope you get aids for ruining this story you fucking cunt!
