Reinna 2008-06-26 ch 3,	abuseI'm not even halfway through reading this, but it's so engrossing and well written that I thought I might as well review now. I love the way you portray the members of the to-be-Organization XI, and your explanation for how they came to be there and the way they react to ending up there makes a whole lot of sense, but is also something I've never seen before in any other fic. Fav'd for pure awesomeness.
Bob the Almighty 2008-04-01 ch 15,	abuseYou know, this has got to be one of the most fascinating, and realistic portrayals I've ever seen done of the Organization. I like how you're so subtle about certain things, and that you haven't picked a definite side in the 'do the Nobodies really have no emotions' debate- and that the evidence shown could go either way, but there's no way to prove it. I like that they're scientists, first a foremost, and that even though they were not necessarily evil, they weren't good people before becoming Heartless either. It's interesting too, how Xemnas is portrayed- I can't tell if he does know a lot more than what he's letting on, or what is going on in his head. Anyway, I can now see why I've seen this fic recommended so much.

Lil Tanuki 2008-03-27 ch 1,	abuseI’m allowed to be heavy,” the other researcher mumbled back in monotone, not bothering to open his eyes. “I’m dead."/ D: Best line ever. : O I've never read a 'begining' story for the 0rg. it seems like I've chosen a /very/ well written one to start with. : ) -Tanuki
Dark Wink 2008-02-25 ch 15,	abuseThis is very well written. Good characterization is something I love seeing, and you've managed to write each character in a way that I can definitely believe for that period of time. Your backstory is very methodical, and the pace seems slow at times, but not only is this a story which benefits from a slow pace, you did such an excellent job of building up the anticipation about the next possible discovery for the organization that I was compelled to keep reading. Excellent story.
OnlyInThisLight 2008-02-07 ch 15,	abuseAbsolutely brilliant; one of my favorite fanfictions I have ever read. I love how thouroughly you are explaining the creation of the Organization, and the reasons why they choose to remain Nobodies instead of simply rejoining with their hearts. Your writing is wonderfully in-depth, witty, beautiful and engrossing. You given us everything we love about the Organization and the Kingdom Hearts universe, and thrown in many wonderful new plots, theories, and perspectives to chew on. (Aerlen's slow transistion to Larxene and her interaction with Vexen, Xemnas's past and strange affintiy for sweets, and just what role each and every one of these remarkably vivid and fleshed-out character's is going to play in Grand Scheme of Things). I simply cannot wait for the next update! Oh, and it's from Vexen's POV. That's an automatic win.
b9 iNe 2008-01-31 ch 15,	abusewow! I am SO intrigued! This story was beyond fascinating, the amount of detail and accuracy you put into this is simply astounding. It seems you're not continuing this, though. I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the awesome story!
Xahtonnoj 2008-01-25 ch 15,	abuseI...I simply can't describe your awesomeness...please update soon.
The Walkin' Dude 2008-01-24 ch 1,	abuseUpdate the goddamn thing!

kitty1994 2007-11-03 ch 15,	abuseI really like this story! I never really thought about how in-depth the beginnings of the Organization was! I can't wait to see the next chapter!
thoughtless dreamer 2007-10-09 ch 15,	abuseThis story is, by far, the most well-thought out and well-written fanfiction based on the creation of the Organization that I have ever discovered (and will most definitely remain my favorite as I discover more; I was fortune enough for this to be my first). It really is incredible, how you've managed to bring those first six initial scientists to where they are currently in the story. You've brought them from their first, unsteady arrival as Nobodies in The World That Never Was to a place quickly shaping up to became a second Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion. I was admittedly bewildered when it became clear that you were to describe the events in Vexen's perspective, as there are so few fanfictions in which Vexen is the main protagonist of the story; and yet I was very much pleased with the change in perspective. I am particularly awed by the intricacies you insert all throughout your chapters; each detail helps to make the story a little more lifelike--to the extent that the science that you suggest is so sound and so deep that it is very nearly believable. You also manage to consistently keep each character true to their persona from the game which, as I find from experience, is commonly quite the challenge. I could not, for my life, put my laptop down for an extended amount of time without yearning to get back to this story throughout the entire time that I was catching up the story's latest post. Whenever I wasn't reading it, I was constantly thinking about it, trying to piece together all the facts, latest events and additional members. I was particularly pleased with Demyx's (or Myde's) entrance--Demyx being my favorite Nobody. The scene with Vexen's struggle with the Dusk brought even more amusement for me than a scene in your fabulous story normally would. I'm looking forward to future posts on this incredible story; thank you for all of the effort you have put into it thus far!! ~Jessie
myeerah 2007-10-03 ch 4,	abusebookmark Excellent story thus far.
unknown reviewer 2007-10-01 ch 15, anon.	abusethis is perhapse the best organization based fic I have ever seen. The degree of detail is incredible but not so overwhelming that the story drags. and all told from the perspective of perhapse the 2nd least featured organization member, Vexen. (the first being Lexaeus) The dialog is spot on with each and every one of them, though i would have liked to see Saix moving up to his 2nd in command position. Luxords arrival was very well done, can't wait to see how Marluxia's arrival will shake things up, no doubt he and Aerlen will hit it off nicely. I very much hope you will be continuing this great fic
