This needs more reviews. D:

Aw. Although I'm sad about the length, this really was still so bittersweet.

Especially loved your metaphor of memories being roses. Very Rikku when you said, she'd rather forget it all. You've really extended it from "Memories are just memories," very beautifully. You capture Rikku well, but it still wasn't nearly as good as it really could've, (i think it's just the length). But, you haven't been at this fandom at all!! so I can't blame ya. In fact, I praise you for being able to try to switch over for a little bit and really write this Auriiku fic, and doing a damn good job at it. And I didn't expect to see any FFX stuff from you for awhile! I'm really glad to see I was wrong.

I just hope you'll get back in the habit for this fandom. For this place really needs more of your work.

all and all, a real nice one-shot for any Aurikku fan.
