I immensely enjoyed reading this fic. :) I think you did a great job in executing the premise. The disjointedness of the narrative and the interweaving of Allen's and the 14th's memory were really effective in portraying Allen's confusion and the takeover of the 14th in Allen's mind. It was heartbreaking to see him struggling, but at the same time lose grip on his identity. Kudos, author-san!

Wow, thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I tried to show the chaos is conflict in his mind, and I'm pleased to see so many people understood what I was trying to do! I'm happy you liked the mixed up memories, they were rather fun to write, actually XD

This is really great! I love how you wrote the change from Allen to the 14th! It's really good. Especially him not know which memories are his and looking to see if he's still the same person in the mirror.

I do think you should write a side story! :D Maybe this from the Orders point of view on what's happening to everyones favorite little exorcist.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Haha, that was actually what I was thinking about writing if I ever got around to a side story XD Everyone seems to want one, but I haven't got the time or inspiration right now, so maybe once the summer starts I'll start getting into the mood again. Or if the manga starts up again soon (please, Hoshino? ;__;)

That'd be rad! Bah, school has and will always get in the way of the important stuff. :/ Thank God for summer! (Oh, I know! I was reading it with my friends and cried when I saw that! Please come back to us dgm! TT_TT)

Thank you and welcome to the comm! :)

I'm glad I managed to reach you, since sometimes I feel like I'm too dry (like some boring old Victorian novel) or abstract (like some freaky, psychological novel that always gives me a headache) XD

Nice fanfic there ^^ I really like these kind of fics about the 14th and Allen losing his memories. The style is something that totally fits it too. If you can continue it please :)

WHOOOOO~! I'm really late to the party. *laughs* But when I read this, I just had to comment because it was a lovely, sad piece. Very evocative, and I particularly liked the way which you wrote that last section. It was almost chilling, but very peaceful at the same time...somehow Allen(?) seemed resigned to his fate...
