This is beautiful! (And I love it even more because Luxord was the first to witness the horror) You write Marluxia so well. So creepy and so dangerous. Better than I ever could. Great job with this one. XD

♥♥♥ Thank youuuu! :D

I'm glad you think so. This has got to be one of my favourite pieces thus far, hehe. I know, a bit bigheaded of me, but idk, for once I managed to get to the point without dithering too much.

Poor Luxord! In my fics, he always seems to be the one who has to be confronted with all the twisted darkness of his cohorts. What with Xigbar nattering on about burying one's past (in Burial, teehee), and now Marluxia yammering on about how human bones make brilliant plant fertiliser, it's amazing how he hasn't decided to call it quits with the Organisation ahaha. I guess it works because he's probably one of the more grounded members, as opposed to, well, pretty much all of the others.

Oh, pshaw, don't say that! You write brilliantly as well! I love your drabbles honestly. ♥♥

Yess! Marluxia is alluring like a...err, rose, but several times more dangerous - all barbed thorns and poison petals. Er, yes, something like that!

♥ Thank you again~~!

What? That's not being big-headed. It's perfectly alright to like your own work! Especially when it's good. :)

LOL! So true! Now that you mention it, Luxord must be thinking his fellow Nobodies are all insane. XDDD But he's far too awesome to be swayed by something like that. So he ain't quitting. No sir. XD

Aw, thanks. :'D I try me best with them. And I'm working on improving! You are now one of the writers I put up there in my head, along with Mr Rabbitprint and uh, Ms/Mrs Sister_Coyote.

Heehee. A rose. Nice. XD

No problem! :D

Well if you say so :'D

; n ; I'll have to make it up to him sometime, just write something where he's not taken on this mindtrip by the others. But it's quite a hilarious contrast, haha. Maybe that's why he's not depicted that often in fanon. He's too grounded, along with Lexaeus. No quitting indeed! He's got more steel in his spine than that, for sure.

You're definitely going along very well, then! And, omgsh, that's the best thing anyone can say to me ;A; I'm a huge fan of Rabbitprint's work, though I haven't read anything by Sister_Coyote yet. You're too kind! ; u ;

Haha, yes. Am currently at a bit of a loss as to what else I can better compare him to.

I do. :D

Ooh, if you write something for Luxord, I'd be so excited to read it. Hmm, maybe maybe. But there's still that bit of him that feels like it can go a little, er, off. Unlike Lexaeus. Which is probably why he's so awesome, I guess. XD

Thank you! Must keep at it. Haha, me too! His work was my introduction to the fandom. Unfortunately, this meant that most other KH fics on ff.net were a slightly paler in comparison. Her works quite good too! Among other people. (And I'm not, really.)

Why thank you! 8'D

Hehe, after watching some cutscenes, I got this idea about his Other wedged firmly in my head *u* So hopefully that'll give you something to chew on hehe x) And yes good grief. Maybe it's his assortment of piercings. He seems totally as chill as Xigbar is, only in a somewhat more...polished way.

LOL I'd agree; Magpies was the first real KH fic I read, and oh gods it blew my mind. Never actually tried reading anything on FF.net because of, um, the aforementioned highschool AUs and the calender challenges and yeeeaaah. The titles some people use is a bit of a turn-off too, ahaha. I've been doing some reading and I'd have to agree! Which makes me all the more weak-kneed at being compared to the likes of them ; u ;

R-Really? That's fantastic! More Luxord to chew on! XDDD I couldn't have put it better. That's exactly who Luxord is.

Same here! That fic is awesome!I love his writing to bits. Hmm, wish he'd write more KH fics...ah, that's okay then. You deserve it! :D (The compliment, not the being weak-knee thing)

And we wonder why exactly he's neglected by the fandom :/ I'm sure he isn't the one with the absolute least screentime...is he?

I knowwww! I've read it about three times now, and it never fails to amaze me. HOW I DID NOT DISCOVER IT EARLIER I DON'T KNOW. What have I been missing?! Seriously asdfghjkl;;sdkjj. It's just so beautiful and I could go on for ever and everr. I do wish so, too. Perhaps now that BbS is out...? Well, as long as we get to enjoy his writing, I'm happy C:

; U ; It means a lot to me! It's so humbling to find people think that highly of my writing ahaha ;; But I should stop wittering away like this oh dear.

Erm. Well. Actually, I think he is! Xigbar got that extra in Radiant Garden, Land of Dragons and in World That Never Was. Demyx got his time in Olympic Coliseum and Radiant Garden (plus, he got two battles! Talk about unfair!) Xaldin was in Beast's Castle all along, and he had a pretty difficult boss fight. Saix is second-in-command and all that. Luxord did! He did! Oh, the injustice of it all!

Yeah. I'm really counting on that perhaps inspiring more fics (although there probably won't be much Organization involved...) Heehee. True true. :D

Haha. I suppose I should stop saying that then. Must save the compliments for next time. :D

....w-what. Noooo! That is the hugest crying shame ever. -weeeeeps- I thought Demyx got relatively little screentime as well, but now that you mentioned it...jgfghlf why Luxord why? D:

Ikr! They're all so much more deep and meaningful than the average fare you get on FF.net. He inspires me, oh-sooooo-much *uuuu*

They probably did that to up his awesome-ness. Silly Square Enix. Luxord will continue to be awesome regardless of how much screen time you give him. So give him MORE.

Exactly! *sigh* That guy is just amazing. If I could write like him...well. I'd be a lot happier with my writing. XD

Possibly. Make the fangirls crave what is so hard to come by! Huhohohoho. I reeaaaaallly want to see what he was like before, though. Here's hoping his Other would make an appearance in future installments! *U*

We all would be, and that's the simple truth! C'8

Ergh. Stupid people. Stupid Square enix and their marketing scheme! D: Me too!!!! So much, so bad! But at the same time, I'm so afraid of what they might do to him! If they make him lame, I'll never forgive them. Maybe it'll be better to have him around as Luxord but give us more time with him. Heck, give us fans more time with the whole Organizaion. Period.

Well said. :D

If they don't make the Organisation reappear sometime (what with all that delishus interviews he gave, and all the speculation we ended up doing as a result), a very large proportion of the fandom will not exactly be happy campers x)

Hear, hear!

But, hey, we made good progress: in BbS alone, we got to meet seven of them! Awesome. Now another five more to go! 8D

Oh, you mean they hinted at the possibility of more Organisation in the interviews? I really should start watching them then. But I'm too afraid of the spoilers! *sigh* Decisions, decisions...

That's true. And Braig seems to be quite awesome. That is a completely unbiased opinion, I swear! And it'll be interesting to meet the others too. Man, I can't wait. XDDD

Umm. I think so 8U Idk, I've only skimmed through a few of the interviews, and read snippets from the Wiki when I was hopping by for some research/background reading.

Decisions, decisions indeed :C

Nothing wrong with being a bit biased, I always say! Ohohoho! Ikrrr. This has me squirming with anticipation. Aaaand of course this tells me I should get a PS-something first before I go off on a happy little mindtrip, ahahah x)
