Summary: A tale of a ghost, a berserker, and approximately eight thousand cups of coffee. Saix is alive and Vexen is dead, but not every book is closed and done. Set post-CoM, AU for the theoretical. Rated R for this chapter, for... things. Worksafe?

amazing. saix is so in character, as well as vexen and everyone else thrown in on the side. i've never read a fic where saix and vexen had anything to do with one another before, but this was just... something else. lol, i don't even know what to say. you really blew me away with this piece- everything about it- abstract and deep- just the idea of saix going through vexen's things and ABSORBING it all.. this line, in particular, really stood out to me:

Something about the set of his mouth arrests his attention; Saix lets the faucet run, cold water burbling over his hand, and wonders when he grew so confident as to drink from another man's life.

i feel like that very last part kind of.. summed up what saix was all about in this.

anyway, i really wish i could say more or point out something super analytical or intelligent (because you reaalllly deserve it after writing such a fantastic and in-depth piece), but i'm not so incredibly gifted and, honestly, at the moment, i'm still quite blown away. i'm definitely memory-ing this. :B it was amazing; it has to be one of the (if not THE) best Organization XIII fanfictions I've ever read. i absolutely loved it.

oh, and i just realized that this is chapter one, so stupid me for repeatedly calling it a 'piece'. D: yey.

No no, don't worry about it. I make that mistake quite a bit myself.

I'm glad you liked the fic. :] Granted, I only wrote part of it, but I did enjoy writing it, and it means a lot to hear that someone else enjoyed it too. ;D 'Something else' is definitely one of the things I like to hear anything I write described as, so I'm happy.

Don't worry about intelligent feedback, because... I'm just glad to know that you liked it so much! ^_^

Thank you! :) I'm glad someone liked it. It's a.... different idea, that's for sure, but kytha and I both had fun throwing it back and forth, and probably put more time than we should have into it, so it's really nice to hear that someone else enjoyed it too. :)

Glad also that Saix and Vexen passed the IC bar for you; that was one of our big worries, that the characterization wouldn't be as good while we were trying to play with the metaphors of each.

Thanks. :)
