ohmygod! I loved-loved your story 'past is past', I thought it wasn't gonna be that good but I decided to read it anyway b/c I haven't seen that much bryxlei ff's out there, u know. I read it til the end and... wow, it was... hawt XD I was going to ask you about why u didn't include Bryan's end of the story but then I realized: it took place after T3, during T4, right? And THEN it leads up to 5 right, lol, damn, ur story makes so much sense! I hope u make another ff of bryan and lei together, soo good :))

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Bryan and Lei were both in-character perfectly. And what a ride. I'm also glad that Zhang turned into a good guy by the end, finally settling his peace with Lei after Lei saved his life.
Again, simply brilliant. Please write more BryanxLei.
Wow. I wish this pairing was a little closer to being as popular as Hwoarang x Jin. I'd never read it before your fic, though I'd considered it and I highly endorse it. :D
It really shows that you enjoy what you write. You have great attention to detail; it's a treat to read. I think you developed Bryan in particular nicely and stayed to his character.
I'm wary because I noted from your profile you've not been around for a while, (which is understandable with this site, heh). Are you still into the Tekken/BryanxLei fandom?
Ooh, old story... It took me almost two hours to read this all the way through, and I don't regret starting it. This was great, you really captured the characters. The only thing that bothered me is that Yoshimitsu was too... I don't know, not so... formal. I hope you know what I mean. Otherwise, this was just great. I'll check for more of your work. :)

I thought that this first chapter was AWESOME. Not only do you have an interesting story going, you have an excellent writing technique, good grammar, and no obvious spelling errors. :)

omfg you finished it, and i am so happy.
no happy-ending hippy-dippy bullshit here, and that makes me incredibly impressed with you as a story writer. i'm a chronic happy-ender, and i'm getting better, but you've got it down pat here. excellent job. the entire story was so realistic and heart-rending, i have actially printed it out, so that i can read it any time i want ;; [feels like a loser] keep up the good work. and, if you were going to write a lei and hwoarang, do drop me a line so i can check it out - maybe it will inspire me so i can finish mine .
lader vader.

wow... you really really really really need to make a sequel for this story! it was too good to end like that! and it took so long to finish, i understand that its hard to write sometimes...but cmon! i think we, the fans of your wonderful works... the loyal readers should get a sequel to tie this all together, and alos in spirt of the up and comming tekken 5 game! maybe that will fuel your creatvity, i hope so! anyways i really really love your writing! looking forward to more.
Hey, remember me? It's...MooNTeARZ! Just wanted to say that I really like your story and sorry it took me so long to review your story! I really like it, good job! You're quiet a good writer! If your interested, you should read my story! It's almost done! _ Anyway, I know that's shameless pandering and lame-o but I really value your input! But really, once again, great story, and I feel exactly the same way about "pairing wars" and stuff like you wrote in your profile! Anyway, good job please keep writing!
Very well done. My favorite scene was when Bryan shielded Lei during the shooting. Great job with the ending: leaving the door wide open for a sequel, but also tying up loose ends.
Ok, that part where Bryan shields Lei? Damned cute. Even if the word "cute" should come nowhere near this pairing, what with all the angst that follows it. I just don't know what else to call it. Lei's talk about destiny sounds a bit cliche, but then again, I'm willing to accept it as Lei speaking (which I think would probably be IC), rather than Lei voicing the author.
Also, the ending is very beautiful.

Ah, good. I wasafraid you were never going to finish and that would have been criminal! Well done, once again, and I love the open ending. Cheers!
Having followed this story for some time now, it's difficult for me to accept that it's finally come to an end; I'll miss reading the twists and turns with which you graced every update. Nevertheless, well done for finishing your first epic.
I'm impressed with how you chose to conclude 'The Past is the Past', mixing satisfactory resolutions with teasing 'what ifs'. The situation at the Zaibatsu was neatly rounded off, with Boskonovich being rescued, and Lei having resolved the majority of the questions that had plagued him earlier in the story. However, you also allowed room for interpretation with respect to the fate of the Mishimas and whether or not Bryan managed to capture and kill Dr. Abel, the latter of which was cleverly kept mysterious by the understandable nausea that prevented Lei from pursuing either.
Perhaps I might be fortunate enough to see a sequel following the release of Tekken 5?
