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 love you. I love you I love you I love you.

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!

I just reviewed this yesterday. D:
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!

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...

i really need more of this one
soon
i really really really do
i love it
and i want more
also
UPDATE COMPLETE 180
haha

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 :]

Loli

(rofl you use past college courses you've taken as titles for Riku's classes, don't you?)

Bahahaha the bus pervert! I was reading FAQ for 180 when I saw the sole Q&A for LNOL on there mentioning him. I must say, I'm thoroughly amused (and reading the uncensored version, if that makes a difference) and would think it hilarious if he showed up again. Looking forward to reading the remaining three chapters posted so far, look for a comment from me at the end :D

Loli

simply amazing! i love how you brought out the sense of invincibility (?) of Axel and Riku opening up C: i'm really looking forward to reading more! please update soon!

LOL that was great man, the phone call is really good. so funny. and the whole "i didn't like her boobs anyway" made me laugh. good on you :) yes i really like this one. i have yet to read a fic like this one anywhere. i think it's really unique and special. this is so good. anyway, i hope you update this again soon! bye bye!

ooh man. This is really interesting. Of course I'd still prefer 180. lol. But this is really like.. erotic and makes me lean forward to the screen a lot. No seriously. XD Update soon please!! I really want to know the rest and I do sorta hope Riku encounters the bus perve as well. heh.
Love your website btw. 8D

Ah I decided i wold try listening to fake plastic trees while reading the part while Demyx sings. In my head it turned into the perfect unforgettable type of scene. beautiful, so effing beautiful.

I really, really hope you'll update soon. This fic or 180 or whatever, all your fics are hystericaly addictive!
