abuseBefore I comment on "For Love of Country", I'd like to tell you that even though I was massively depressed over the chapters, your damn PS's ruined it for me! They made me laugh, and that was bad. You could've had me bawling... tsk tsk tsk.

*sigh* all's well, though. I still think you're an amazing writer. FLoC consisted of a depressing perfection, and I promise you: You got the intended reaction from me. Congrats.

abuseOkay, I think I just used a whole box of tissues during that last chapter alone. Even though Vaughn died, I just love all the emotion you brought across in this story. Love, loss, determination. And you even brought the stoic Jack Bristow to tears. Great great great story!

abuseIncredibly good. I was a little unsure about the first chapter but then I'm a pretty unforgiving critic. The last 2 chapters and the epilogue were great. And yes, I admit it, I cried. The thought of the perfection that is Vaughn dying was too much to bear.

abuseA friend recommended this to me and although I dind't bawl lilke she did, I was moved. I've always felt that this would end badly for S/V despite my shippy heart. Thanks for writing such a great piece about the end. Excellent.

abuseOverall, I really liked your story. I loved the reason Vaughn died - I thought it was very true to his character. You did a good job of showing how Jack had no alternative but to do what he did. (I didn't think the end of that chapter was ambiguous at all.) The bit about the stars was particularly moving. That said, I noticed that Chapter 1 doesn't flow as well as 2 & 3 and the epilogue. It almost seems to be written in a different style than the rest of the story--more hackneyed-sounding and not as tightly focused. If you could polish it a bit I think you'd have a great story from beginning to end. And now, off I go to read your other fics. :)

abuseWow. That was heartbreaking, but perfect the way it ended. A few weeks ago, I saw a show on the Discovery Channel about the wall of honor, so I love how you incorporated that in the story.

Finally, this line: "Her son had died for the daughter of the woman who had murdered her husband," blew me away, just like it did Jack.

Great Job.

abuseGah. That was so incredibly depressing. There's nothing to make someone want to cry like angst so thick you couldn't cut through it with a knife. You seem to have accomplished your goal -- great story!

abuseGood god, Im crying. Seriously. Wow. That was immensly powerful. I cant believe it. And, well, for a guy, you write like a girl. Emotionally wise. And that's a good thing (in case you were confused) most guys your age cant hit the emotion factor, mainly because they dont allow themselves to get emotional in life, but you have nailed it. WOW. This was soo great. I cant wait for you to update Angel Dark.

abuseOMG! That was so good. Better than sex even. LOL. Now that's a compliment!

Honestly, that was freaking amazing. I'm at a loss for words. It'll probably be a couple of days and several readings later before this story will truly sink in.

Great job. One of the best fics I've read. And coming from the only male Alias fic-author (are there any other?). I've gotta hannd it to you; I don't think any Vaughn-loving Chica could have written this. I know I couldn't have!

ruby->still waiting for more of ham and cheese!! that's just too funny!

abuse((sniffles))

Kick ** angst. I'm sitting here trying to think up something rational and intellegent to say, but I really can't come up with anything. The watch part brought on the sniffles, then the last line pushed me over the edge.

Wonderful. That's all I can come up with.

abuseOk, now I'm really bawling. Wow. Just wow. F*ckin amazing. Truly haunting.

The Jack/Vaughn interaction.. and Jack and Mrs. Vaughn.. the torture you put Vaughn through.. the pain.. Wow. Absolutely loved this. Why must I be such a ** for angst?

Interesting that you said to listen to "My Immortal" because that's exactly what I was listening to when I was reading this.. I love that song and I thought it suits the fic well.

And no, you can't kill Vaughn in all of your stories.. That would be.. um, cruel..

Wait, but Sydney IS real.. and so is Vaughn.. right?!

Thanks for this wonderful story. Loved it. Hope to read more of your work.
