limona 2005-06-05 ch 7,	abuseI just read your fic this morning, and I wanted you to know I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been a couple years since I read any fanfic, but after the Alias finale I thought I would stick a toe into the pool of Alias fanfic while I procrastinate on my studying. It took me several clicks through several favorite story lists to come across a fic of this quality. Your characterizations were good, and I particularly enjoyed your care with detail about Meghan's personality. I also liked how you used Weiss much the way the show uses Weiss. A couple of things I noticed: When Sydney was Meghan in the hospital, it was a little confusing to hear about the hospital sending someone to look in on "Sydney's" dog. Also (and I know this was not the point of the story at all), I kept wondering why Jack hadn't moved heaven and earth to find his daughter. Thanks for the good read!

xanya-forever 2004-12-31 ch 7,	abuseOh gosh, this is the first fanfic I've read in a month, and it was TOTALLY worth it. I don't have any time to review because the internet is more of a luxury than a necessity in France, but you'll get a proper review when I return home to Australi, okay? For now let my just say that I LOVED it and I even cried.
Agent Katy 2004-12-21 ch 7,	abuseaw so cute an oh so sad its over great story u are a great writer! please write a new fic soon!
Emily Carol 2004-12-19 ch 7,	abuseOh, I get the title now. It goes back around. Amazing writing, I absolutely loved it!
valley-girl2 2004-12-18 ch 7,	abuseI'm almost afraid to start reviewing this chapter. I know that when I do, it'll be over. "The name ‘Bristow’ is now stenciled across the dented side of the metal mailbox in neat, block letters. Monthly bills, grocery ads, and the occasional greeting card are addressed to one Sydney Bristow, a quiet and unattached young woman who lives in a house near the beach." -> I love how you had her alone at the beginning of the chapter. I mean, I'll grant you that there were a few seconds where I was "aww," but then I got too into it to mind. "She finally remembers how easy it is to just be Sydney." -> I have nothing to say about this, except that I love it. "Her students seemed appreciative of her offer to devote the final period of the day to some silent reading and with a quick surveying glance, she confirms that they are quite engrossed in Death of a Salesman." -> I liked the Arthur Miller I read. I am still meaning to read this one. "She’s still not entirely sure of what she wants, but the position as a long-term substitute teacher had virtually fallen in her lap and it’s something she enjoys." -> Wow, I just have to say. Enjoys substitute teaching. That's impressive. lol. "She’s had the car for nearly six months now, but she has yet to find the elusive seat position that perfectly fits her height and posture." -> I KNOW. What is the deal. "With a tug of her hand, he reels her around and up against his chest before pulling her into a reverent hug, “Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to your happiness, Sydney. Nothing.”" -> learning his lesson. Good, good. Much better. :-D "Instead, he opts for three simple words. “Happy Birthday, Syd.”" -> oh. oh, that rules so much. I can't even say. Thankyouthank you for that. I forgot how much story-time had passed! That took me completely by surprise. And it was wonderful. "He pulls back for a moment and watches with solemn eyes as she considers the sweetness of his gesture in contrast with his neglectful behavior just one year prior." -> Yeah, I think that's what we were all doing. "However, as her birthday drew closer and the completion of the mission seemed more distant than ever, he became aware of just how skewed his priorities had become. A quick phone-call to headquarters had resulted in a long string of reprimands as well as the promise of a formal inquiry upon his return, but if such consequences were allowing him to be here with Sydney, his decision had been the right one. Protocol be damned." -> Have I mentioned how simply wonderful this chapter is yet? Man. I loved the angst. I love this. Thank you! "He responds gratefully, “I can’t believe you let me.”" -> I can't decide if those words tie or beat out the happy birthday line, for being the best ones of the chapter. wait. I've read the chapter once already before reviewing. I'm sure there's another line that I like a whole lot, too. :-D "Sydney cringes noticeably at the sound of the dog’s claws scraping loudly against the flooring, but her sour expression is quickly replaced with a bemused one when she spots the cone-shaped party hat perched atop the dog’s head." -> LOL! I can't believe she let it stay on her head. My dog would kick it off the minute after it was on. "She nods silently, not about to reopen the can of worms," -> that was very good of her. "He lifts a finger to her lips and effectively blocks protests of any kind before taking the box back, “There’s no pressure here, Sydney. I’m not expecting a yes or no answer of any kind. I’m simply returning something that was and will always be rightfully yours.”" -> Seriously. You're writing him so nice now! haha. it's very enjoyable! That was a very good gift ceremony. Yay for Vaughn. "“Michael, I’m ready to come back.”" -> yeah, I was right. Except that line is really paired with how she first kept him out on the porch, and then went off about going back. I loved that, because at first it's so easy to be confused and wonder what she's talking about, but at the same time you do just KNOW. I mean, faster than Vaughn did. :-D Fantastic. "That this moment would be the beginning of something new." -> Aw! See, I told you I would be sad. Or maybe I just told you I didn't want to review. (I already put it off a day or two. lol. Oops.) No, I'm sure I told you I was sad in the last chapter. I don't know. I'm also quite tired at the moment. lol. Anyway thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us! I appreciate your ending comment, as that saved me from being totally sad about this story being over, but I am still mostly just sad about it. Wonderful stuff. Here's looking to the not-too-distant future!

I'm looking forward to reading more from you- really, Roundabout was a pleasure to read. I take it you enjoy reading Faulkner- you've got good taste!
Tricia 2004-12-17 ch 7, anon.	abuseThat was a wonderful end to your story - well worth the wait to see Sydney and Vaughn happy again. I am so glad that he was there for this birthday, after he botched the last one. Now they can finally have their happily ever after. Thanks for sharing this with us.
