Oh my gosh. That was such a wonderful read. I love the steady pace it had, how I felt how the two themselves were relaxing. I love how you portrayed that things weren't too rushed between them back then when Saix wasn't much of a puppet to Xemnas yet. :)

Thank you for the wonderful read. :)

You have no idea how much I loved this.

I've always like Lea/Isa, but this story has got me considering Axel/Saix now.

This is just so BEAUTIFULLY written-I love your syntax and voice. It's so poignant and introspective. It really paints more than just a visual picture in my mind.

So so beautiful.

You've a really beautiful writing style, it's absolutely captivating. You write Saix and Axel so well, it's remarkably easy to imagine.

Faving for certain :)

That was beautiful. I loved all the memories you came up with for each of them. That just makes their friendship all the more sweet, and all the more tragic when you know how it ends.

I loved the treasure box analogy. I guess the memories really would be a treasure, since Nobodies really don't have anything else to hang onto. Your style is great, as always, and I really like your constant uses of metaphors and similes in this story.

Awesome job with this!

It was hard to follow at first because I couldn't figure out who was speaking first or who was speaking which line, and there were times I had to re-read parts because I coulnd't follow what was going on. The transition from one scene to the next was a bit shaky, especially between the reminiscence scenes and the present day scene where Saix and Axel are lounging there on the moonlit sand. The pacing could have been better with smoother transitions, and a little more direct hits of who's speaking who's line.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading this fic and enjoyed looking through those sifts of memories that Axel and Saix had, and shared with each other. I find their interactions there on the sand to be cute, too.

(by the way, I'm curious-have you placed them in a specific world? At first I was thinking Destiny Islands, but once you mentioned, "Outstretched on the dune, our bodies inching a little closer – ", I thought of Agrabah instead since Agrabah has sand dunes.)

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. That whole image you made up of Saix delving through Isa's memories and treating each one like a treasure, and Axel doing the same with Lea, was just amazing. And I could just see the sand and the moonlight and feel the heat as they lay there. The imagery you conjured up was absolutely amazing.

Those snippets of Isa's and Lea's lives together were also great: Isa stealing Lea's college acceptence letter, and the thing with the kumquats, and the trip, was all so sweet and nostalgic. And that last line? T.T So sad.

Keep up the great work, and happy AkuSai Day!
