"Angel of Twilight: Grief’s Adept"

Hey all! Sorry this isn’t an update, but an announcement/heads up.

Okay, does everyone know that “ClockWork BreakDown“ has been moved into the general section? No? Now you do!

Anyway, as of ridiculously early this morning I sent the freshly typed chapter 5 off to be beta-ed, which means I have no idea how long it’s going to be before I update, ‘cause it’s fucking 40 pages long!

Whooot! I AM Insaaaaaaaaane!

Ah well. . . . I’m going to answer the reviews left of this here, just because. Don’t worry, I’ll answer them again in brief on the other fic. But here I can go reeeeeally in-depth.

Here we go!

AkuRokulove: Axel likes their nicknames too, he invented them. XD Actually . . . I was making a play on the name of an old artist/band ‘Iggy-Pop’ . . . but hmmm . . . soft drink number 2 . . . . that could work!

Yes, poor Demy indeed. He had his . . . um, ‘heart’ broken and smashed and all around mutilated. He really needs some love . . . Good thing Ax is there. XD . . . Although Ax helped in his death. ~.~;;

Meh, it’s something that seems likely because of fandom views. If we want to do this honestly, Ax doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone but Roxas . . . though he might give half a fuck about Naminé because of Roxas, but you gotta read the manga for that . . . Still, it just sort of clicked it my head, which drives this further into the realm of AU.

Yes, Zexy’s death was the saddest moment in CoM for me . . . and I hated Axel from then on . . . Until I started KH 2 and saw how gay for Roxas he was. XD Yeah, his puppy dog eyes got me X__x.

Come on . . . it’s Demyx! There has to be something crack-tastic going on when he’s around! He’s too cute for there not to be! Yeah, I love doing funny and sad and then funny again.

Thank you for that, I try to be logical when I write. Basically there was all this stuff that either didn’t add up at the end of 2 or that just seemed to plot itself out but never be said directly to the players. So I just took what I saw and ran with it. Put a little artistic license spin, and there ya go!

Nah, CwBd isn’t going to be over for a loooooooooooooong time. Nope, that’s just a chapter end, not an end-end

Showndra Ridge: I understand. I was crushing on Zexion from the instant I laid eyes on him. Same with Marluxia. And Saïx. Not in the same way for Demyx and Roxas, I thought they were adorable and i wanted to huggle them. Hell, I was head over heels for Roxas by about 2 minutes into game 2. I actually didn’t see hoe sexy Axel was until I started to see j-pegs of 2 then I started to play and I saw he was a firkin’ beast!

And then there’s the Xehanort triplets. Sexy all of them. Sexy bastard of darkness. Sexy beast of stubbornness. Sexy bitch who made bad decisions and begot the other 2.

Yeah, the re-fusing . . . gotta think if he saw that happen with Repliku (Replica Riku, right?) it’d fuck with his mind . . . because he’s a smart cookie and if a fake Nobody could be absorbed back into the spawning human--which is what I belie really happened in the CoM game--than how simple would it be for a real Nobody to be absorbed by their spawning human?

No worries though, I’m a sucker for traditional greek comedies. . . . And I’m an expert of having my cake and eating it too . . . even if it takes me forever and a day to do it. ~_~;;;

CrimsonEnigma: ::Lunging-tackle-huggle:: I. Love. Youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Your reviews made me soooooooo happy! And Yes, YES I will have you for a beta if you are willing to deal with my insanity! Just e-mail me at [HappyDragon411@yahoo.com] because your e-mail is hidden so I couldn’t contact you and that was driving me crazy because I had to continue working on the fic.

But we’ll work out those details later . . . if you have time to be my beta yet . . . .

Anyway. . . . The reply!

Ah, thank you, thank you. You’re too kind as always. ^.^ It makes me happy to know I can do such good work!

Theories and suppositions built from playing the games, reading the manga, and the fics. The fics helped the most in building up my lines of thought. I just connected all the dots in my own little way . . . which usually leads to me unwinding the strings a few weeks later and wrapping them around different pushpins to make a completely different picture . . . . yay over thinking things. -_-;;

Well . . . short answer: Yes. And it’s your fault. XD

I was going along . . . minding my own fiction . . . and then I read your review. Mind you I read these weeks ago, but still, read them I did. And then . . . as what always happens with me . . . I started thinking.

And thinking.

And thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinkking.

And visions of Pre-Axels and Pre-Demys danced through my head.

And then AFF went ape-shit and introduced subcategories no I now can’t turn this into an anthology of shorts for them.

So I’m going to start a new anthology--or short story, depending on how much effort I put into it--chronicling/summarizing their time on Solaris. . .

And I also started thinking about what it was like when they first showed up in Twilight Town and hooked up with the Organization. . . . so It’s probably going to be a short story . . . damn it. . . . I might do that for the others who don’t have back stories yet. I’ll just gloss over the back story of numbers I through VI. . . .

So there will be a story. . . .

Prelude to Nothing: Book I (Tales of Solaris)

Moo? My characterization was good? People always say that. . . . Well, there wasn’t really enough of Ziggy, but good to know I’m on the right track. I kind of thought I was going too left field with Demyx . . .

Don’t worry, I calculate something between 1/3 and 1/2 of chapter five is written in Ax-in-es, and I’m glad to know that you like that. Axel just has that “I do not give of fuck about your etiquette” aura, and slang always seems to roll off his tongue so easily.

XD He uses those nicknames constantly. HE’S The one who was calling them Zexy and Vexie! Before anyone else did--IF anyone else did! So it stands to reason he’d have a nickname for everyone. Although Mansex did come from the fandom, and I know Axel would get board enough to try and unscramble everyone’s name.

Soon. . . .very soon. Sooner if you can be my beat. And don’t worry if you can’t yet. Spot 3 is now permanently reserved for you. So just give me a holler when you’re ready.


Welp, that’s all for now people. With luck, you’ll be seeing something before the end of this month.

Peace all!

P.S. C.E.? If by some miracle you get this within the next few hours (it's almost 2 PM, 9/13, as I post this), I'm gonna be busy all tonight, so I won't be able to respond until tomorrow at the soonest.
