Wow.

That's what I keep saying to myself. I've finished this amazing masterpiece of a fiction and I'm trying to decide whether it's my favourite. It was probably the funniest one I've ever read. Blame Axel.

I think you did an amazing job on this fiction. People have told you it's realistic and true which it is and that's one of things that makes it so likable.

From the very beginning, I was captivated. I was always like "I want to read Marigold" because I was addicted! Axel's point of view was very entertaining but that's just Axel all over anyway! The things he came out with...and his thoughts...TOO FUNNY!

I liked how Axel was honest, even if it was a painful truth. I'm glad he took Roxas in, even if he was a moody little **. I'm glad he was determined, even if it got him nowhere.

I can't describe to you how much I laughed throughout this fiction. The little things, the obvious things you put in there. I can't remember all of them but one that sticks out to me was when Axel went to spy on Roxas to see what he was up to, and dragged Demyx along. That whole scene where Demyx was being loud and Axel was growing irritated by it and was all "Demyx!" I can't remember the quotes from the top of my head but THAT bit was very damn side-splitting! Another bit that I found funny was when Roxas rung Axel up and was informed of the redhead's boner! Hahaha, nice one Ax!

Anyway, I think it's pretty cool how you divided each chapter to each one of their accounts! Nice to know what they are both thinking although you can KIND of tell already! Yeah, I liked that very much. Axel's account was WAY funny.

I believe Roxas could go somewhere with his film-making! And Axel did too :)

I was a little unsatisfied with the ending because there were so many questions I had...but in a way it was a good thing you ended it like that. Not everything turns out how we want it to. But one burning question, even though it may seem DEAD obvious, did Roxas love him? Because it seemed that throughout it that Axel was just there. If you get what I mean? There for a reason but that reason wasn't fully explained. I can't really articulate what I want to say but I just wanted to know whether Roxas got with him in the end and if they ended up as a couple. It was kind of obvious that Axel liked him...and Roxas probably liked him back but I don't really remember Roxas properly addressing that and coming out with it? He denied being gay throughout this! I'm glad Axel was like " I know the truth, you're gay. Why are you here? You know, people will find out soon enough" OH MY GOD AND WHEN HE SAID TO LARXENE, PUBLISH THE PHOTOS! oh wow...I was like "yay Axel!" because really...it needed to be done.

When Axel cracked...when he snapped. When he couldn't do it anymore...when he cried,I think I died a little. I mean, I felt sorry for him throughout this because Roxas wasn't really straight-forward with things and always left the poor redhead to just...wonder? He never really gave him the answers he wanted. I hope I'm making sense. I like it when he cried in front of Roxas...that was kind of cute. The amount of pain he was in. And Roxas was just being bitter! I know Axel screwed him over just a little but there was NO need to be THAT mean! When he said/thought 'now you know how I feel' when Axel was crying his eyes out. Aw poor poor Axel! He only wanted love, and a few ** ! hahaha which Roxas willingly gave him. It was kind of like...take whatever you want from me and I'll be cool with it. Was Roxas ever straight to begin with? I mean...the first chapter! He bloody wanted Axel! I knew it! Oh my god, I'm rambling!

I keep telling my best friend Jaela to read this but she doesn't like reading it from Axel's point of view. But she doesn't know what she is MISSING! I absolutely loved this fiction and I'm looking forward to more amazing stuff by you!

Well done!

This is possibly the most beautifully written story I have ever read on this site. Your situations are very original, in my opinion, and the style is beautiful beyond compare! Very 'Catcher in the Rye'. By the way, I am a sucker for opening paragraphs such as yours, and it's really amazing how you made the main characters so impossible REAL it almost physically hurt to read the final chapter. It almost killed me, I swear. (LOL- CitR reference)
My favorite parts were the opening paragraphs (he's a sucker for garden gnomes, huh? I just love how you randomly brought up garden gnomes through the story, too), the scene where Axel broke Roxas' camera (because we can all relate to this), and then when Roxas gave Axel the camelskin coat (I found myself thinking, "Okay... now where the hell will he WEAR that thing?") and was thinking of setting it on fire. Gotta love that. If any of your other stories are even NEAR this beautiful you are officially my favorite writer in the entire world.

So, I just finished reading this story, and for the past ten minutes I've been staring at the screen, wondering what the hell my response is to it.

I feel like I should hate it. It was far too cruel, unrelenting, depressing, and all around unfulfilling to my needs of some sort of happiness or comfort to be even remotely enjoyable.

And yet, at the same time, it was deeply satisfying, beautiful, profound, and just plain perfect-- a read that I'll never forget and that I'm so glad I found.

In short, I'm a little lost for words. My throat is still aching; my chest hurts. For the past three hours, I was sucked into this beautiful, realistic world you created, and now I feel like I've just come out of a really exhausting, painful, but somehow life-changingly brilliant experience. Does that make any sense at all?

Probably not. I'll stop rambling now and just tell you that you are a wonderful, talented author, and that this story, regardless of whether it was positive or negative, had a huge impact on me. Thank you for showing me that fiction can still have meaning. I can't wait to read more of your work.

This will definitely go on my favorites. Thanks again,

I don't know why I don't hate this story.

I really should. It's horrible, angsty, evil, cruel, it made me cry. Aren't you supposed to hate things that make you cry?

But it was also beautiful and profound, and I personally thank you for putting something with meaning out to exist in the world today.

If I could describe this story using one word, it would be 'achingly'. Achingly is an adverb, but it fits best (or at least is a better alternative to 'ache' or 'achey'. Those don't work at all.).

This story is that little crescent-shaped burning in your heart that screams so purely that you can't tell whether it's pain or desire, and you are sure that it's probably both. It's achingly beautiful, achingly profound, achingly sorrowful, achingly raw.

And I appreciate it.

I can't say I didn't cry. This story touched my heart.
It touched up a lot of things about life. REAL life. It's so heart breaking. I couldn't stop crying. Gawd. This is amazing. So real. So touching. I can't find the words to describe how I feel or how wonderful this story is. I'm not one to describe well. *not a writer of sorts*

I just love it.

Oh god.

Why so fast? You could have played it out a little but I still enjoyed it.

God chapter.

Amazing chapter.
Very different from all the other fictions I've read.

you know, this is actually my second time reading this story, first time with an account though, and i think i loved it more the second time around, haha, I'm not sure how that's possible but there you go =]

I don't really know how to word what i want to say.
it was very well written, and the narrative was amazing. The characterization was great, the plot line was great. the little tangents that Axel and roxas went off on.

I really wish i could form the words to say what i want to, i just don't know how, all i can really say is that this has become one of my all time favorites. it was incredible.

i just sat here today and read this entire story. and you know what? IT WAS FECK'N BRILLIANT. i loved every minute of it; kudos to you for that. ;D

OMG, I haven't read a lot of KH or AkuRoku fanfics, but this one is really different. I mean, you're certainly a hell of a writer and I gotta say that Axel's personality fits him perfectly. Or at least fits the Axel I had on my mind. And the thing about Roxas' eyes, I totally agree with him. When I played KH II for the first time, I didn't like Roxas at all. But his eyes insisted to call my attention the whole time and then I ended up regreting the fact that I had to start playing with Sora. Anyway, congrats for this chapter, there's no doubt I'll read it till the end.

Aaw, that was a good story!
In the ending I was like -TEEARS-
But no. It's all good.
Thanks for the work, that was heart and soul, man. Heart and soul. =^-^=
...If that makes sense. O_O

I think I've reviewed this before, but I just read it again. Words can't express how much I love this story, I think it's my favortie on here. so thank you tons and lots of love.

I loved this, realstic, not sugar coated, I think you wrote it the way the two would actually of told it. I loved how they would just randomly rant about stupid things yet make total sense with the story, I loved how things just didnt make sense soetimes. Because that's how life is. Its not a "moive" like you said, it didn't end perfectly. It didn't really end at all because it was LIFE it keeps on going. Though you don't really know what happened to them afterwards, and you're still yearning for more, it still concludes nicely. There are still things I wont ever know, like what was up with Sora and Riku, or why Axel was so picky about the window. All in all I really enjoyed reading this; thank you for writing it! :)

Hahaha, okay, so I don’t even remember how I found this fic, but man am I glad I did. This is fantastic so far, probably one of the most out there AUs I’ve read in a while. I mean, Roxas wanting to be a director and Axel getting stuck by lightening? That’s so original, definitely haven’t read that ever before!

Axel’s narration is really well done. You write a very funny and entertaining Axel. And god I wish I knew what he did T_T

I’m super anxious to get to the next chapter and find out what happened with Roxas and his dad, but I’ve got to get up way the heck early tomorrow. Sorry if I forget to review the next few chapters, I’m really bad at reviewing each chapter because I get sucked into the story >_<
