Thank you!

And I am full of adoration for your icon. XD

"Edmy? Funny name." "Edmund." "I think you should come with me, Edmy." I can totally see him telling Xemnas that the kid's name is "Edmy or something." XD I just love that exchange soooo much.

This whole thing is adorable.

Needs moar army brat. ♥

"You told the scary boss guy my name was Edmy!" "Yeah, but isn't Demyx better than Nuxmedd?"

Hee, thanks. I'm so ridiculously fond of that background and the era. No this didn't give me an excuse to go read some books, of course not.

LOL, I love the opening descriptions of poor Demyx's blurring vison. And his interaction with Xigbar is perfect. I love how you write for them!

I also like how you give Demyx a logical name and Xigbar messes it up. LOL. I can see that! There's just no logical name that can be gained from removing the X in "Demyx".

The ending lines, about fixing the universe and Xigbar's response, is just great. X3

Thanks!

There's a few Demy-x names I like, like Dyme (which is common as dirt) and Myde, but they don't quite work so well for a British guy. Xigbar's just bad with names! It's a failing of his. ♥

He didn't have the heart to tell Demyx what's really going on.

So much ♥

Xigbar is SUCH A JERK. XD I mean, gawd. At least listen to your recruit's name.

But, tee hee~. Yes. They're adorable. "Edmund" included. X3 I will never, never get tired of hearing "first moments as a Nobody" stories. Especially ones that aren't swimming in angst.

Haha, so late, Lj ate this comment. D:

But eee, thanks. I figured I should start it from the beginning, so I'm glad you like reading the kind of stories, since I looooove writing them. Xigbar and Demyx kind of totally defy angst. They'd have no idea what it was if someone put some angst in front of them and had a sign.

I love this, I like the way Xigbar isn't offering him anything really like sympathy but still being a sneaky recruiter.

And you win a lifetime supply of interwebz for the 'Edmy' bit. *still giggling*
