*laughs* Thanks for taking the time to comment!

What I love most about writing this story is that every single different person every place I post has a different opinion on my Axel. I'm glad to hear what you thought also - it makes me very happy!

And I'm halfway done with the next chapter, so barring the apocalypse it should be out in the next couple of days.

Again, thanks for reading!

OH DEARY ME! Know what everyone needs to do? Explain, I can't help but feeling that everything's happening the way it is, because no one's bothering to explain. Like, down to the details.

Axel...oh AXEL. It's like...GRAH, I just wanna PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE and then give him candy for being SO. IN. CHARACTER. I'm kind of afraid of everyone in the Organization. They manipulate like crazy, and seeing so makes me TERRIFIED, because I think, "Hm, what would happen if I met them?" and I would start choosing my words more carefully, and...yeah, I'm crazy, no need to really tell me that XD

In other words, WOOP, CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT CHAPTER! *skips off*

Oh my.

I remember I read up to chapter eight before...

But I went through and read the rest today.

My, my. I must say, I am exceedingly impressed. Axel is just so painstakingly in character that it makes me dizzy... and yet leaves me with the strange desire to smother him in hugs. He speaks lies as if they were truth, he kills as if there were a time he hadn't. It all just... intrigues me so very, very much. And alas, poor Zexion... I teared up at that part. Demyx will never get to see his lover again, and it saddens me ;~; And yet... I want more. More story, that is. This has kept me on the edge of my seat, constantly wondering, "Is Axel going to get caught? What's going to happen next? Will Roxas and Sora be alright? How is is going to end up!?"

In the end, I simply cannot wait until the next chapter. ^^

Thanks so much for leaving a comment! I'm glad my story moved you enough that you teared up when Zexion died - that scene, with Axel and Demyx, was one of two images that wouldn't leave me alone, and eventually culminated in the whole fic. I'm glad at least one of them worked!

Thanks again for reading, it means so much to me!

0.o You blow my mind XD I knew I would love this fic from the summary given at chapter one, but this has exceeded anything I expected (and that's part of the reason I love it so much). I try to avoid predicting what's going to happen next as a general rule when reading anything (beceause it ruins it) but sometimes it's just so easy to predict that you can't help it, and that's no fun, but I really want to know what's going to happen next in this fic. . . and I find it impossible to predict anything (and it's awesome :P).

As per point 1: I don't care how long I had to wait, it was worth it. (And can't wait for the next one. . . take as much time as you need)

As per point 2: I haven't forgotten those things, CoM is the only one I've actually played. Besides, who needs morality if you've got no heart?

[dumbtastic_duo]

You're awesome, do you know that? Seriously. You've been commenting regularly on my chapters for almost a straight year now! (I know this because I started Stockholm Syndrome last spring break)

Thanks for reading, thank you so very much!

[kiaarra]

Not quite, I lurked the first half of Stockholm Syndrome.

You're awesome too! The fact that you even got me to comment is proof of that. I used to just lurk everything, and now I try to make comments wherever I can :D I'm pretty sure SS was the first things I commented on that wasn't one of my friends journals.

. . . No, thank you for writing. ^_^

[dumbtastic_duo]

You did lurk the first half of SS - but it took about two weeks for me to get through the first half! (That fic was so much faster than this one, for whatever reason. I finished writing it in a month...)

I've probably told you this before, but you're the reason I'm still writing LLYMI - you kept bugging me about it in the comments for that other story I started instead, and eventually I figured that if there was even one person reading, I had a duty to continue on. So thanks again for that, haha.

Ahaha, I'm done being wierd now. I get all sappy when people like my stuff XD
