I LOVE YOU.

This is just... wonderful. Kairi with her boys, and not wanting to be helpless, and taking action to not be helpless, and the touching on Sora's long absence... eeeeeeeeeeee.

I really like the scary feel of the dream at the beginning, and the revisitation at the bottom and just. Yes. ♥

[sister_coyote]

Thank you. :D

This has been niggling at me ever since I played through the part where she gets her keyblade -- at which point I went OH SQUEE -- and then, frustratingly, didn't get a chance to do much with it. I'd like to think she's got adventures ahead of her, and won't put up with a back seat role.

I'm really intrigued by Sora and Riku's 'lost year' (or however long it was -- my grasp of the timeline isn't so firm). That's a long time, especially when you're fourteen/fifteen.

Thank you!

I think what I love about the three of them is that they're all different and yet they fit together so well... I'm glad that came across in the story.

This has me screaming "YES! YES!!" all over the place. Not only to present Kairi as to not being helpless at last, but also to see into the depths of Sora and Riku alike.

Sora is Sora, Riku is Riku, and Kairi is Kairi -- they should live and behave and do things as they do, while they cooperate with each other. Hell YES. :D

[sister_coyote]

Thank you. :)

I'm just crazy about all three of the characters, and I wanted to play with how they're different, and have different strengths and weaknesses and habits, and yet can fit together so well because they're distinct. They just make me squee all over the place. :D

This was simply gorgeous m'dear. I love the comparison between Sora and Riku's fighting styles. Perfectly captured. And thank you for not making Kairi a wuss. You get so many cool points for that.

[sister_coyote]

Thanks! :) No wussy Kairis for me -- I was so delighted that she got a keyblade in KH2, and so frustrated that she didn't get much of a chance to do anything with it...

This has me squealing like a little fangirl, thanks a lot T_T
*runs to add to memories*

Yay! Thank you. :D
