A correction to my review: Loving the story! I hope you and your family are getting through this tough time alright.

Loving the story, hoping for an update soon!

Oh, oh, hearts.

Augh. They are so beautiful. Poor Jecht. Augh.

Wow, this entire story is so amazing. You've got the characterization, the romance, the humor, and above all, you've got a plot that has me on the edge of my seat, wondering how Rikku's dreams will be resolved with the rest of the world... will she have to give up Auron or not?

I played FFX for the first time this summer, liked Auron and Rikku, and went looking for fanfic about them, and yours is by far the best. Thank you for writing it, and I'll keep checking back for more. :D

WOW! you were the one to hook me on aurikku; congrats! i can see a bight future in writing for you!

Words cannot describe the scene with the monkeys :D

This story is uh-mazing! I've never played FF10 or 10-2, but you describe it so well I don't really need the background information. I love how you are building Rikku and Auron's relationship- it's more realistic.

Hope you get over your plague of sickness, and that you find the inspiration (and time!) to upload the next chapter!

After Auron says 'there won't be a next time, I won't allow it to happen again' its got me kind of scared to read the next chapter. I'm not sure if I want to read the next chapter! XO ...Wait, nevermind, I still want to read it :D
Update soon, please.

Awesome chapter - Update again soon please!

Omg, I just started reading this story yesterday, and I haven't been able to stop since (I have no life XD)
I love this story! *favs*
All of the people in it are so in character, and I love the moments with Rikku and Auron (I'm an Aurikku freak XD)
I thought this last chapter was awesome! I laughed alot when the monkey's attacked Jecht's face :D
But I feel really bad for all of the characters at the end of this chapter. They're all so depressed. Rikku's feeling guilty about making Auron choose between her and Braska. Braska seems upset about something (probably because he made Shiva do such a dangerous attack so close to the others), Auron seems angry that he couldn't protect Braska. And I feel bad for Jecht because he's the only one who got seriously hurt :(
Anyway, I really hope you update this again, soon! I want to know what's going to happen next.

I hated the djose cloister of trials. I don't know why I had so much trouble with it.

Can't wait for the next update. :3

I might have possibly hated blitzball MORE than you. D: I didn't understand the rules, though I'm certain I read them a hundred times in the tutorial. I lost every game. Poor wakka looked so sad in FFX when I lost.
Wow sixteen minutes? I didn't know that. cool!

&& as for the story I loved reading about the hypello. I'd always been extremely curious of them, but the games themselves never went into much detail about them.

Gosh I'm so glad there are new chapters for this.
Memento Vivere is the only reason I sign onto fanfiction. No lie. :]
I was surprised about Lenne! I had nearly forgotten that Rikku even had the dressphere, let alone that Lenne would ever take over her.

Anywho, onto my praise of your story, : D. I love the scenes you set. They are places I have physically (well as physical as video games go) seen before, and yet you describe them in new and marveling ways. They characters are so lively and believable. I literally could go on about how much I love this story. But instead I'm just going to go onto the next chapter.
thanks so much for your work on this story and continue to be awesome and update. <3

I completely lost track of all the stories I'd been reading several months ago. One of the first things I did was track this one down. I'm glad I did-- it's really taken off since I last read any updates. Thank you so much for this great story.

Wow. DiD yOU KnOW thiS Is THe BEST AuRIkkU StoRy oN THIs Site? huH? beCAuSe iT iS. i ReaLly hopE You ConTINuE. BeCAUse If yOU DON't, I'm gOnNA HaVe to HURt YOu. AnD ThAT WOUldn'T Be VERy FUn aT AlL, Now WouLD It?

Or WAs It?

Excellent chapter, as always! <3
