ABLUH. Yes. This fic was made of awesomness. I'm usually a bit suspicious about stories going along with the actual plot, and they're usually crap and make me want to strangle myself, but this was . It was so tragic and heartbreaking, I really feel like crying now. Aswell as being pretty and sad and all, I still feel really uncomfortable now. All the gagging and the sorta-rape has made me kinda scared. Meep. I was chanting reassuring stuff to myself while reading the scary parts. lol. Anyways, I adore you and your writing. A LOT. You deserve a medal or something XD OOH NIGHTWASH! /cough/ I mean Nightwish. Amaranth is like the only song I like from the new album with the new lady ._. I can understand it going with this fic. And the music video is based on a really beautiful painting! I'm totally getting sidetracked now. You rule, this fic was great, and Nightwa-wish has great songs. Amen.

My favorite is Nemo. Though I loved this music video

Wonderful writing, as always!! The twisted bittersweet relationship between the boys really did it for me. And how Axel was willing to break Roxas to get what he wanted. Aww.
It was so sad!! Really amazing, though. Thank you for writing!

I think i'm going to cry.
What a sad akuroku fic.
i like it though.

Love,

I had every intention of reading this, and going to bed.

Alas, now I must go read something happy, before I cry.


;_;

I knew this was going to be good the moment that I read the title and then read that this is indeed based off the song by Nightwish. I also figured that this was going to be really sad. I was right on both accounts.

I love how you write, firstly. =) You have these short sentences that you use that are just so freaking powerful. It's a beautiful style, really. Oh and then the characterization! You beautifully capture the pain and the emotions that are going on. I loved the desperate, bitter Axel and could feel my heart ache for him by the time I finished the story. And Roxas staying even when his memories returned was just shgdskgshdkjf. You did a great job with their love/hate relationship. This part sticks out to me (in terms of their relationship and just in general): " Axel smiled sadly, "Do you hate me?"
"Do you love me?" Roxas shot back angrily, frowning.
"That's not fair, Roxas." "

Brilliance. Tragic brilliance.

Much love to you, and keep up the great work! =D

o that was a good manga~ *is sad it went unfinished* but you did a hecka god job =w= ahhahaha poor guys♥♥

*hits head* Why do I never understand things!?

I listened to it with the song, twas good. Very good! Wish I could write a better review, but I'm still sorta realing (sp?)

I read this twice, the first time I had to stop and cry every few paragraphs or so (being the overemotional wimp that I am), then the second time I managed to stay reading the whole way without too many tears and now faving time!

It's so sad that Roxas could just... leave, but I don't think this story would've been nearly as effective if he hadn't. Seriously.

I think listening to Amaranth while reading this (what I did the second time) makes it all the more sadder, really it does.

~Roxas-Has-A-Stick
(and I think you made him cry too)

woah, what? ...roxas just... left?

/This/ was based off of Nightwish's song!? o.o; Holy feckles, this is awesome! Ye! Song fics FTW! X]

Amaranth is one of my most favorite Nightwish songs and I just had to listen to it while reading this story.
But, but, but, nuh! T.T You made me want to weep for Roxas! For Axel! FOR THEIR LOVE! D:

Goodness me, you've kept me AWAKE and it's almost midnight because this story was so enrapturing! I told myself, no, just a sentence or two, maybe a couple of paragraphs... If it's interesting, I'll continue it tomorrow.
I COULDN'T LEAVE! You sucked me in. The emotion in this fanfiction is just so deep. From the very beginning you hook the reader with temptation because you want to find out why poor Roxy is tied up like a dog.

My dark assumptions were correct. )= I'm not sure if I should be happy that I guessed correctly or sad for Roxas or both. Squeeze Axel into the sympathizedable for crowd and I think I'm good.
I'm probably not making much sense, but like I said, it's late but I couldn't sleep until I reviewed your magnificent story. I went into the other room and tried to read but this kept HAUNTING ME! D: There is no other word for it. This was looming over me like a cloud and I kept reliving it like a dream. I just couldn't seem to let it go.

Axel... I just wanted to give him a big Roxified hug! Daw... The beginning with his pain was so touching. It brought into existence his motives in the game. I really liked how you stitched the actual time line of the real game into this. Not only that, but you didn't make an AU out of this! Someone once said to me that for every in-game fanfiction written, there are 10 AU's. I don't think she actually went through and counted each and every fic on the site, but look at the numbers and you're sure to see that AU's greatly outnumber those set in the actual realm of the game. So kudos to you for pulling this off with splendor! :D

I was a little surprised when Axel forced Roxas to play the pet, but it's not like it came out of the blue. Axel is one of those people who rarely surprises me and I must say that your characterization was magnificent. There are many versions of Axel but there are few that make me jump up in applause like yours does. He's high emotional, wanton, and yearning for the only one who can even make him feel anything. Even if that's pain.

The poor fellow. ):

As for Roxas... Wow, when he said he remembered the last two days my jaw just hit the floor. Such a bond even after they establish hate.
You have really defined the whole 'AkuRoku' thing very well. Hate and love go hand in hand, especially when you're talking about our favorite redhead and his keyblade wielding companion. This was beautiful in that tragic sort of way. It's like blood and roses, or blue fire.

All in all, this was a wonderful read.
I'm still sitting here gaping in sheer awe at the magnificence of this story.

.I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E.

Very much love for this.

You know, usually I don't go for the M rated. Usually I think, "Ah, jeez. Another smut. Not Plot, No Story, No Point. The real meaning of Yaoi." But this one was different. Sure, I could feel my face heat up embarrassingly at the sexual part, but that was part of it all. The point, plot and story. It had depth, it had feeling (or lack-there-of in some cases) and it had a confusing, yet oddly satisfying ending. So thanks. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

mucho love,
*siagr;

I'm quite iffy on this fic too. It's sort of dark and angsty. With a side of (starts with 'r', rhymes with 'ape';). O, Otakon? Who'd you go as? Pix? :D

That was... amazing. There are no other words to explain xD Still can't wait for more SD to come out. :D

Man that seriously put a damper on my left over giddiness from AkuRoku day D':
But in a way it kinda made my day cuz I always love your stories x_x
I think what makes me really sad though is because i could really see that happening.
And I think I might have started crying when Roxas asks himself why Axel was being so gentle.
I think this is better than what the doujin would have been.. at least it[doujinshi] provided visuals. But this gives it more depth. I was kinda disappointed too when I realized she wasn't going to be finishing anytime soon =[
