WeDidItForTheDead chapter 2 . 8/11/2012
I think I just fell in love. That was.. beautiful. Breathtaking. Entirely gorgeous. I have a thing about stories with eating disorders that don't glorify them or blow them out of proportion, and I /really/ have a thing for snarky Roxas. Besides the content, I meant the writing was beautiful. I tried to find what seperated from other or my own and held it above the rest, but it was just so seamless and seemingly effortless. Detail and brevity and a complex form of simplicity. *Laughs* Now I'm just rambling and going for overkill, aren't I? Let me just end with good job and thank you very much for writing this.

i see myself in this axel. i'm 23 and rather than wish on a star for there to always be another star i pray i'll nearly die avoiding to run over some kid on the road. and that he'll somehow heal the hole inside me.

That was absolutely beautiful.

Really it was.

Everything about it. From the imperfections of the characters, to the lessons they learned be the end of the story. (the whole 15 hours they knew each other.)

Seriously though, beautiful stuff.

Is it sadistic for me to say I like Roxas when he acts like he does here? Even if he IS anorexic. But I mean seriously... I actually like him when he's conveyed as snarky and sarcastic as opposed to rude to other people because he's "antisocial."

It seems Roxas always has some myriad of problems, no matter what I read. But I guess that's pretty understandable, considering how he acts in the games and such. Anyway, great fic here, despite all the shit Roxas pulled. Though I suppose Axel really isn't too different, running away... I don't blame him though. If that were my situation, I'd do the same thing. Only I probably wouldn't do what he did after, because I do (somewhat) care about my wellbeing.

So I guess I should probably stop babbling now, huh? If you have other fics along the lines of this one, I might have to go to your page and read those.

I spend the morning reading this, after I realized. And I feel a bit like a jerk, because I don't have the words to describe how I think about this story. I love your writing-style. I like the way you portrayed Roxas and Axel. They both are in a way to reckless to stay alive. its a great ff. I really loved reading it.
anthail chapter 2 . 8/4/2011
Excuse my language, but... Holy crap that was. That was definitely amazing.

I love your narrating style: you manage to do so much with in such little space... I'm loving how much you get out of these characters, and the relationship/bond/whatever between Axel and Roxas is just. It's completely mind-blowing, that's what it is.

And Roxas' dark sense of humour is definitely the cherry on top here. It's so difficult to write a fucked up character that isn't all two-dimensional and pity-me-I'm-emo, and you manage the spunk so perfectly.

Damn. This story is a gem, not quite unlike your Inertia Creeps.
Endings Matter Most chapter 2 . 6/27/2011
This was probably the most brilliant AU of AkuRoku I have ever read. Maybe it's just me, but I think you should maybe extend it. I'd love to see Axel's relationship with Kairi continue and maybe hear more about what she has been up to since he left. And you could even expand on how she met Riku and Sora and why they all are best friends. Also, seeing Roxas and Namine reconnect and watch the relationship with his father grow would be awesome. And not to mention more AkuRoku love! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Follow-up shots or expansion of the story would be great! I just SO want to know how the rest of their lives go!
Der Auspuff chapter 2 . 6/22/2011
That was... actually really good. It's not often I've read something like this that deals with issues like this without making them seem... I dunno, unreal. Really, good job. I really enjoyed reading it 3
qilorar chapter 2 . 6/8/2011

MoonLLotus chapter 2 . 6/7/2011
Dude, this is the type of story that I've been trying to write for months. I loved every moment of it. The imagery and character's chemistry were just perfect. Great job.
Wednessday chapter 2 . 6/4/2011

Razer Athane chapter 2 . 6/1/2011
THE PERFECT WAY TO LET THIS ALBUM DOWNLOAD AND AVOID UNI WORK IS by reading a long ass fic ;D

"You're ..." Axel's eyebrows rose in curiosity. "That's not too far off from where I used to live." - FATE BB.

"…Can we get something to eat?" - THE STICK FEELS HUNGER.

A year and a half, geez.

"I think you have a soft spot for me underneath all that ridiculous leather and clown hair." - ASDFGHJKL HAPPY

LOVELY TO SEE RAMIREZ CONTINUED ON.

ITS DEMMYLICIOUS.

"Can I see them? How graphic were they? Full frontal? Artsy? Well?" - Oh Lord XD

SO SO SO ROXY HAS THE TONGUE RING NOW. LOL.

"Doesn't really do much for giving head, you know?" / "Wanna test that theory?" - YAY XD

"But, then you showed up and everything changed." - :3

"And I like that. We're like two freaks in a pod." - lmao XD

"Grunge and punk. Funeral attire for the 21st century." - Oh hell YES.

"Okay, but only if we can whisper and glance at people nastily." - YAY XD

He turned up his nose, flipped off the people were watching him and then followed after Axel again. - OMG HE DID IT ANYWAY

"Saïx is here if you're looking for a fight." Marluxia muttered, encouragingly. - 'muttered encouragingly', odd choice of words XD

"And remember, just because this placed turned into hell seven years ago doesn't me that it has to hold the same for you today." - Lovely.

"The city lights are bright enough to impersonate stars." - Win :3

"I've been known to straddle the fence." - Amongst other things -shot-

"No one has ever given you a reason to stop." - X3 X3 X3~!

"You seem to be a little unsteady on those legs of yours, Firetruck." Roxas teased, as Axel braced himself against a fence post for what seemed to be the third time since they left the park. - ASDFGHJKL WEGY8REOG YES

'For the first time in seven years, time had stopped.

Soon, his heart would be full again.' - Perfect ending.

This was beautiful, dude. Wonderful, wonderful work.
Stormyclouds chapter 2 . 5/31/2011
This was really sweet, I loved the ending. I like how it tied in with how everything changed for Axel now. It's really cute!
calico pickles chapter 2 . 5/31/2011

Moriens-der-Lyset chapter 2 . 5/31/2011
This is absolutely amazing. I love the characterization of Axel and Roxas, the depth of their emotions and pasts, and the writing style is brilliant. For a such a short little story, it's got so much heart.
