Dear author-san,
this truly a beautiful fic, beautiful on how you write and especially on your original
plot :DD

i sad when i know axel's betrayal :( i thought there'll be some akuroku too teeheee.

what i'm concerning at the moment is just the meaning of sora's mask... you had never mentioned it until the end o_O

OMG this story is sooo sweet! it's just amazingly written and very imaginative!

it's really beautifull, I'm so glad I found it! )

Wow this story was awesome. The concept is really beautiful and truly original.

I also think that this would've made a wonderful chaptered fic in place of all the time skips. It would give even more detail to how they began to fall for eachother whereas it seems a little rushed. But that's only because we don't know all of their encounters during the weeks that were skipped.

But I think it's fine the way it is. I'm really glad I got to read it. Thanks~!

BEAUTIFUL. BRILLIANT. GORGEOUS. Are there any words I'm forgetting? If there are, then those fit this story as well! Chronos practically had to literally kick my butt (through the net) to get me to read this. I will admit, I found the beginning slow and boring, but what good and amazing story isn't like that in the beginning? XD; Great job! Definitely faving!

wha? what about the green masks?

oh my...kyah! Axel, u ass...*shakes head* I should've guessed. but kyah! soriku fluff~! i can guess what the emerald means now- reflecting royalty with a courageous heart - sad thou...poor Sanyo...he's such a cool dude...

Hey, Katraa!

I have been reading your stories for a while, and I am totally amazed. I wanted to ask you about Masked - if I could borrow the concept. You see, I have had it in my head to write a story like masked for a long time, but then i read this and figured it was only right to ask you first, since you wrote this first. I had not read this before and this idea was entirely my own. It would be set in the future, where Sora was the Orion Prince, named for one of the best warriors in their history. Kairi is the visiting Princess from Mirathe, trying to arrange a marriage between the two countries. and Riku is one of her coachmen, far too lowly to meet the prince - until he catches Sora switching masks and setting out to ride along the countryside as the hero Sora. Because the masks hide their identity, no one has made the connection yet, and Riku is the only one to see the Prince switch masks. As he starts falling in love with Sora, his secret past is revealed, and he thinks Sora must hate him now - especially as he's been locked up. The story is and Akuroku/Soriku thing, so if you don't approve, I wont write it. Thanks for your tinme!

I wish it could have been longer but the ending is just perfect. x) To be honest, I didn't see Axel's betrayal coming! This fic is just further proof that there doesn't have to be hot/steamy mansex in a KH fic for it to be good.

Masked was cute and innocent, Romantic doesn't even begin to cover it!

I loved the idea behind the masks, I had never come across that before. When Riku took off Sora's mask and saw him 'naked' (or so to speak) I gasped! And with Tidus knocking at the door, I was for sure he'd catch a glimpse of one of them without their mask!

I loved this fic, but it still left me wondering what the green on their masks meant. Lineage, perhaps?

Oh wow! I loved the theme behind this story, brillant! Excellent work! :D

This was a really sweet fic. I really enjoyed the whole mask concept too; it makes the story even more romantic.

When I read this fic, a certain fanart from DA kept popping in my mind, especially after you mentioned that Sora's mask was green.

(Warning: It has Sora in a dress XD)

Oh my wow.

WowowoWOW.

So lovely, I really enjoyed reading this.

I found it fairly well paced, especially if the length of this story is considered.

It had a beautiful beginning, by the way. As soon as I read it I knew your story would most definitely be worth my time, and more. My review. Ha, hope it has some kinda impact.

Never saw Axel as an evil character though, you really went and just shattered the rules of character placement absolutely brilliantly. I liked the personality range of Tidus and Namine in relation to Sora. And its good to see a writer who's willing to compose a more real story, in terms of life and death. Thats right people, even good characters die sometimes.

All in all an amazing effort, very rewarding I hope. (I envy your friend)

Thanks, great job!

Another great story:) I loved the idea of the masks- that was sweet. I am curious as to what the green in Sora's mask meant though. There was so much in this story that it felt a little rushed, but the story is fantastic anyway.

Looking forward to any future updates! BTW are you still planning on updating your story 'breakdown'? I really love that one:)

Wow... wow... This is beautiful... romantic, and sweet, and... wow... I think I owe you a page worth of a review or more, but i want this feeling to last, so... This is perfect.

Well, in some scenes the "romantic" side isn't kept but let's scratch that. This is AWFULLY perfect.

Aww...that was adorable! Your stories are just so amazing! I loved the whole mask tradition! Though it did make me sad that Axel was the traitor, it worked really well for this. This story was just so amazing that I know very well I'll read it many times more. It has the perfect romantic feel to it! Wonderful job yet again!

aw that was so cute! ne why was sora's mask the only one that was green? I have noticed that sora's and riku's masks are the color of the other's eyes. why is that?
