This is great! Good job!
Vanitas has feelings for Aqua!

Is there such a thing as... darkly sweet? I don't think so, as I have never heard of it before... but that was just the correct thing for this story.

Darkly sweet.

Poor Vanitas... who would want to be a tear? I'm sure they were not happy tears.

But well, he's dark after all. Nice story :D Very... darkly sweet.

So my mission is to leave a review for everything you've written. It's going to take me a while. -;;

Well, I can't honestly say that Vanitas/Aqua is my favorite of your pairings. Actually, with any other author, I'd probably have to refuse a Van/Aqua story. But since I've read your other works and have gotten familiar with your style, I'm comfortable enough with it.

I found it amusing that Vanitas's name was not mentioned throughout the story. Perhaps your intent was to help the reader empathize with him by not mentioning his name, which has a very dark, villainous association with it due to his role in the game. Maybe this wasn't what you meant to do, but I certainly got that out of this story.

I will assume this is the first you've written of this pairing to help me better understand your characterization of Vanitas. I felt that his actions suited him, particularly when he first wakes, and I can easily see him reacting in a similar manner if he were ever to experience feelings of attraction within the canon.

So, good one-shot. The overall effect was sort of poignant, and I see that this will be continued in another story. I can't wait to see how that one contributes to this plot!

Happy writing!

0_0 I love this. This is fantastic, well-written, and reminds me of all the thousands of reasons I love this pairing. You write Vanitas wonderfully, even when he's trying to kiss Aqua - a wonderful feat, mind you.

Lovely, lovely job

You know what I really like about this story? How you focused a lot on Aqua crying even in her unconscious state. I love how you described that, and I really like Vanitas's reaction to his tears, and how commands her to stop crying again. That inner struggle again. Beautiful. I also like how you had him move in to kiss her, but he couldn't because of some sort of invisible restraint.

And this line: How fortunate they are, he thought, that they are born from your eyes, that they live caressing your face, and, in death, they are a kiss on your lips…

It's amazing. Very poetic, and pretty. So much imagery in just one single line.

Great job.

Whoa. My mind is officially blown. Okay, this is now one of my top 5 Kingdmo Hearts pairings.

Wow, just wow. I don't have any words for this. The most impressive thing is that I can't imagine him do that, yet he's still in character.

O_O

This is so good. I love this pairing.

You did a really nice job writing this. Keep up the good work.

Loved it!

Wow, This was cool! Who knows, maybe it happened? They never told us, how or when Vanitas left Neverland, Or what he did before it x3

Great one-shot! You wrote them both to be in character really well.
