Hi, 13 years late (lol) but I have to tell you that I come back and read this fic about every year, and it is permanently stuck in my dumb little brain.
This fic made me watch Avenue Q.
It made me read Anna Karenina.
Something about the writing and the setting and the character journeys in this has just impacted my life for a long-ass time. So, hope you see this, and are doing well. Thanks 3 :)

this fic still lives in my head rent free. i read it when it first came out. vividly so many details have stuck with me. axel's green chucks, anna karenina, the way axel laughed his ass off at roxas for kissing him on the cheek, the college party, the mall kiss. long live this particular brand of late-aughts emo au akuroku. truly a time capsule.

Wow, this published in 2007 huh? Well before my time on the Internet. Unfortunately, I was too young back then and while I might not have understood half of the rom-com references you had in this fic, it was still a blast to read through.

I’m a sucker for the idea of Roxas being this kid who has way too much anger issues and I don’t know why. Also, Axel not having any sort of fashion sense is just gold. Honestly, all the characters either fit with their canon counterparts really well, or I like the deviations it has. XD

Not sure if you’re going to see this comment, but hope you’re doing well. Glad you wrote this (Also, KH3’s coming out in less than a month in case you didn’t know. hYPE)

this story was published in 2007 and i am here reading it in 2019.
kingdom hearts is powerful.
your writing is excellent. if you've been published, i would love to pick up anything you've written, even if its just a phonebook.

I dont even knew what Kingdom Hearts is. Still don’t. I don’t even read yaoi as you called it. And still...it’s more than past three in the morning and here i am. It just proves how much a good story and creative writing can go. Really. I don’t know where you who you are but please know you’ve reached a lot of people. This days, in which time is fleeting and theres oh so many distracting things like a cellphone with wifi connection, people are reading this and giving it the time it most definitely deserves, and that’s telling

I really enjoyed this story. Good writing and well paced. ;)

its almost 11 years since i first laid eyes on this fic and damn just some of the most gripping writing out in the world. i reread this like every couple of years

The one thing, THE ONE THING, I remember about this fic is Axel's shirt. Wtf even?

You will probably never see this comment but can I just say that I loved your story. Your an amazing author and I hope that one day you will write novels of your own.

That was really darn rad, I loved all of that story, thank you for writing (:

3 words, absolutely brilliant.

Haha, reading author's notes always makes me review. I mean, after some notes from the chapters I've been thinking of reviewing for a while but was too lazy to lift my fingers except save for clicking the 'next' button to read on, and I guess because I have serious doubts a story from years ago, would have an active author still, who could maybe see this review? I guess it would appear in your email but one could always pass it off as junk mail.
Right, onto something about me, aren't I so important in midst of the tens of hundreds reviews, well I made my name 'call me lohan' because I was quite surprised, to find my own name, in the exact spelling, in the last chapter. So well now you know I have the name of somebody whose last name is Lohan, if you still remember what you wrote years later haha.
Anyways, this story is everything as great, detailed, and beautiful as those favs and reviews claimed it to be (sorry, I tend to judge some stories by reviews when the summary doesnt give me an urge to click on the title) And the first chapter I was like, woah, and had to brace myself for the amount of sheer great writing that was pouring onto me like niagra falls. Seriously, I was majorly impressed by those transitions of yours, I didn't even realize there was a flashback until at least a paragraph in, it just flowed so naturally, gotta give you serious props for that. And second, your extensive knowledge of vocab and random things which stand out weirdly but still kind of connects to the story and to real life amazes me. Never knew there was a shop called black sheep. One day I swear I'll sit in that shop (or at least the shop of the name if its not local, hopefully, probably not haha) and think to myself, Axel and Roxas sat here in that fanfic, and reread this story there and just imagine whatever comes to mind, maybe about how you probabpy been there once, maybe how good axels tastes are in coffee there. I don't know. But one day I'll do it.
Oh my gosh I just shoved ten miles into your throat, real sorry, I would praise this story some more but I wouldn't want to take your time, or the time of anybody reading this. So um have a great day or night! Your story is awesome! And uhh if you ever want to contact me just type in 'Andhitittillitdies' (too lazy to login) or you could find me in the reviews or other akurokus by awesome writers like bluefunk, sorceressfantasia, and viii of xiii
Not that you'd waste your time on reviews of some story when you're definitely successful in real life. Gah I must really love the looks of the words I type, I'm sorry, have a great rest of the night..or day.

Huh, there seriously are those two restaurants? I need to visit them one day and hopefully shake your hand haha, if that could happen. Probably in some parallel universe.

Oh my, oh my goodness. /stares at 'deceitful above all things'
you're the one who wrote that amazing fic? Truly, this, your writing, the references you make and the metaphors you use, absolutely astounding. Very lovely and pleasant for my strained eyes at midnight, which intend to move onto the next chapter after dropping a review.

Funny how I read your other story mentioned before, and somehow came back to his through other authors favs. But in a seriousness, this is amazing for the first chapter, I swear you have magic powers to manipulate words and morph em into pure amazingness.

Have a great day

This is like my fifth time reading this story throughout my life and I am JUST now laughing at the juxtaposition that is combining Kingdom Hearts names like Roxas and Namine with swanky American names like Liam and John.
