Aw, I really loved this. Wish it would get updated, though I'd pull for an update on 180 or Stygian's sequel first. Never thought I'd like AxelxRiku but wow 3
I also just love all of Axel's Disney references xD
Still one of the best writers on here! Amazing Fanfiction. I was fan girl squeeing through the entire thing. I cant wait for an update! I didn't know you had made more ff since I last read your stuff. I shall have to get caught up! The things axel says is adorable. I love the analogies and metaphors. They are awesome.
omg! lol after just reading 'a complete 180', this story ties it all together so well! i loved the insight of riku's history, and you dealed with everything so well.
also, i love the long chapters!
haha, im really enjoying this story, im really looking forward to the next chapter, so please keep writing!
While in 180 Riku looks so agressive-so seme when he's with Sora, He's always on bottom here, and he looks so uke, so cute! 0/w/0d this is the first time I read AxelRiku, though. (I usually do prefer AkaRoku more) but with your great writing style, now I'm also in love with this pairing XDD
and, still, Rena is being a b*tch -_- and I wonder why Riku seems soo popular (among guys lol) here. Sure, he's handsome and cool and I really love him too, but- is he really that addicting? O_o
Anyway, I really am lookin forward for the next chappies! When will Riku become a model and meet Leon Cloud Seph etc? X) Coz I'm also curious about the other pairings, such as SephCloud and LeonRiku mwuahahahaha /shot/
and Axel, dont be mad at Riku coz of that promise plz! XD
So i've been rereading this chapter for over a year now. Are u going to update anytime soon? Please please please respond! Even if it's just to say you're quiting the story.
This is probably the best prequel I've ever read. I loved the very subtle Disney hints like Jack Skellington logos and one of the last lines, "Don't tell me the sea witch has your voice again..." (hehe little mermaid)
Lol at the Vexen thing. And you know what's weird? Every time I read Saix's lines I hear the voice of Severus Snap from the Harry Potter series. I'm just dorky like that I guess.
I never would've thought of two of my favorite KH characters together like this but you've made me a huge fan. So thanks for corrupting me. :D
I think I like this one better than A Complete 180, which I wasn't expecting. (I read the one on your site, btw) Again, well-written and few errors in this one. I really liked the parallels between the two fics, like the pictures of Riku and the stories behind them. Looking forward to the next chapter!
I became hooked by 180 and I HAD to read this. I love how you write Riku and Axel! It's too cute and so easy to imagine. I actually went to your site to read this and then came back here to review. This story is so great and I can't wait til you update!
But. I was listening to some Straylight Run and the Tension and the Terror came on and I thought 'Why does that sound like something else...' and I realized it was the first chapter of this story.
I just thought I'd say, fuck, I'm not going to be listening to /that/ song in the same way ever again. It really fits the tone of this story so far, which is cool because a lot of times authors seem to arbitrarily pick songs for chapter names that don't really fit, which isn't a bad thing, but it's just cool to find a song that really fits with the chapter/story it's part of. :D
So, yeah. I totally, accidentally, read this before 180, because I'm retarded or something...but the fact that it was good enough to then make me go back and read a mostly Riku/Sora story is saying something.
I also now like Axel/Riku because of this fic, even though I know it's not going to end very well for Riku. I don't know if it's because I like it when one of the characters is a bit older in a relationship or what, but I just really like how they are in this - well, so far - it's cute. And, trust me, Riku and Axel are pretty much the last characters I ever think of as cute. I think the reason that their relationship in this story is so interesting to me is because Riku still isn't totally himself yet, and Axel's kind of the perfect person to really help him become himself. I honestly can't see them working that well together with Riku as...well, /Riku/. But the fact that he's still this slightly introverted innocent - well, uh, it works. xD
I honestly adore this story, perhaps more that 180 (which is mostly due to me not being a huge Sora fan, he's a sweetie and all, but I just don't like him as much as other characters). Maybe it's because it's still somewhat near the beginning of the story, as I have been known to totally end up going from loving to hating a story by the end. But, I really do think I'll like this story until the end, it's really interesting to see Riku in the characterization that you've molded for him - it makes it all the more fun to watch (er, read) him grow into the person he is in 180. :D
So, I really can't wait for an update on this either. And, I feel kinda bad because I favorited this earlier without reviewing it, which I only did because after I realized it was a prequel after finishing the four chapters last night, I was so engrossed in 180 that I didn't want to pause to review this. But, now I am, so, yay. :3
I'm glad I finally started reading this! It's been sitting in my "Favorites List" and was even removed at a point for quite some time. I'm happy to say it's back on there!
Very nice start. Stuff is happening already! It didn't even feel like it was rushed, either! Skills.
Aha, anyway, off to read more!
Tenoko 5/4/09 . chapter 2
Aw and I'm not even a RikuxAxel fan and this was totally cute! I'm reading 180, and thought I would check this out too, to cute...
Well, I definitely like this so far, and I'm actually a bit mad at myself for reading it at the same time as 180, but I can't help it. I'm curious to hear the answers to the questions opened up by Larxene and Axel's conversation the first night Riku met her, and I have a feeling they're coming up within the next few chapters. I keep drawing connections between LNOL and 180, which is fun. I can only assume that this has to be intentional, but props since it makes it really fun to read for anyone in the process of reading or who has read all the available story for 180. Can't wait for your next update in either, and maybe I'll placate myself with SS while I'm waiting :]
