Oh Lily, you DO spoil us! Moar Mama!

Absolutely smitten with Xemnas and Lexaeus, as usual. Don't you ever stop writing Saix, somehow no matter which fic I'm reading it sounds perfectly like him.

Plus, shock reveal of Xemnas liking Saix! ....or not. Still, wonderful. Love it, as usual. :)

[minntaka]

Haha well I'm not sure about spoiling you, as this update was looong overdue.

I'm glad you like the kids :D To be honest with you, I grew a bit tired of this fic (hence the late update) but the one thing I do like about it is that I can write Xemnas to be a complete loony ^_^

Lol yeah, I bet you didn't see that coming. It was difficult for me to make Xemnas' crush on Saix to be in character and within reason, but hopefully I made it believable to some extent by filtering some Terra into him :) Thanks for reading! ♥

So I caved and read it. And I loved it. I'm usually not fond of "Back to babies" stories, but once again you've proven that I'll read anything you write and like it. So yes. Completely in love with Mama Saix. Can't wait to see Luxords reaction. Hopefully (for Saixs' sake..maybe) he'll come back with him to the Organization. By the way, Xemnas crushing on Saix is fabulous, especially how he prattles on about Saixs hair.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, as out of my three multichapters, this is my most popular but my least favourite to write XD (Figures...) I agree that the babies storyline is hardly original/unattempted, but it was the first idea I had that got me into writing two new things (KH and humour). And yeah, with Luxord in the picture, things should start to pick up for Saix...provided I gather enough motivation to write another chapter, because my interest is really dwindling with this.

Haha, I couldn't resist a bit of pervy creepy Xemnas XD It's meant to be satirical... Thanks for giving this fic a try even though it's not your sort of thing!

(And btw, icon love!! ♥)

XD. That seems to be the case for a lot of writers. They dislike writing the things the pubic likes the most. Funny how that works. My problem with baby fics is that the characters are usually outta character. I mean, I can understand the babies being outta character, but the adults? That's what I like about this, because all of the adults were in character, and it seemed plausible that they would react this way. I wouldn't force yourself to write. If the inspiration comes, then it comes. People can deal with late updates.

Not a problem! It was a fun read.

(Thank you. I stole it. XD)

I think in general, humour fics go down better in fandoms, which is a bit of a shame as the only style of humour I can write is what you see here XD I can see how easy it is to slip out of character with a storyline like this. A couple of times I've written Saix to actually care about people / situations when he wouldn't, so I've had to rewrite and scrap bits and bobs...!

Yeah, I don't want to force myself to write, but not updating since October was very lazy on my part XD

Mini!Xemnas has to be the most resilient child in existence. And possibly the densest, given that he doesn’t seem to realise he’s potentially next in line to feel the claymore after all those plushies. XD

And your adult!Xemnas- I’d like to adopt him as canon. Especially love the diary entries about Saix, which actually remind me of a lot of romance fic out there, and Saix’s reactions, which is probably how most would respond! And the obsessive doodling. Which I will probably always link with him now.

I really like the way you switch as well between the hilarity of playingcard!Xigbar and the horror of Liam killing all the slave children, and yet it not seeming like a big deal to Saix because yeah, no hearts. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but the fact that you can work twisted elements into something that’s generally very funny is really good.

So yeah- I’ve seen a few ‘now they’re children’ fics about, but this is the first one I’ve seen that really makes it work. = D

♥ Thanks for reading!! It's not a fic I'm most proud of (due to the unoriginal plot and excessive sarcasm), but I'm glad you enjoy it! It's difficult for me to pull off such a crackish concept but keep the Organisation in character (especially Xemnas) but I enjoy writing it to some extent as I can play around with the way the Organisation functions since SE kindly left it out. At the moment I'm trying to think up of a logical explanation for their income besides munny flying out of Heartless XD

I deliberately wrote adult!Xemnas to be a complete loon. To have him crushing on Saix believably, I decided to do diary entries (cheesy I know but I'm too lame to think of anything else!) that reflect on his memories, so that there's a bit of a base for his behaviour rather than having him utterly OOC.

As for Liam/Marluxia, he's a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine ^_^ I seem to really enjoy writing him as a psychopath and couldn't resist sticking him into this fic.

Thanks again for reading ♥

That's usually the way with these things- the fics you'd rather put on the backburner for a bit seem to be the most popular whilst the ones you get drawn into are the ones that don't get read. XD

Good luck with the income question! I'd have suggested the obvious choice of Luxord's gambling supporting them all, but seeing as he's currently causing havoc in TT, I guess that's not an option...yet? >_>

[minntaka]

Yeah, I wonder why that is. I have to admit it's a little frustrating (as I don't put nearly as much effort in this fic as I do my others), and I have noticed that there are loads of KH fics out there that are insanely good that receive little to no attention (not mine, I hasten to add).

Yeah, am still stuck on it! It'll probably take me another 3/4 months to come up with an answer XD But yes, canonically speaking, I have assumed that the Organisation was funded by Luxord and his prowess as a gambler XD ♥
