I read it again today and find it still my favorite fic.

Always;-)

I love you. You have fulfilled my Vamp/Raiden needs. Thank you so much.

Lovely story, I love how you manage to write the raw feelings of everyone. Hopefully your muse comes back to bite you soon ;)

I love this story so much I just had to use Vamp's last name for my e-mail(someone else took Adrien so I used the first form a different story). You are developing two different stories at the same time while keeping them perfectly linked. A unique blend of keeping them in character while developing their personalities too. Just lovely. I really am curious to see where this goes. And while I'm at it that has got to be one of the hottest Vamp/Raiden scenes I have ever read. Great mental porn. YUM.

*clutches* Please update soon! I'm still waiting for the next chapter after all this time ;_; This is one of the best MGS fanfics of all time! -huggle-

This story definitely hits the spot of amazing, intriguing and compelling all at once. It has no mercy when it draws you in to take you into a beautifully written piece of art. I love how we get to see the exploration for each characters personality and interaction between the characters. I do hope you will proceed with your story, as its been said, “it would be evil not to.” Wonderful job and I hope to see a update soon.

God I love this story so much. You seem to update rarely but with a number of chapters at the same time. I like that. I generally like the fact you kept the characters believable, but Raiden acts a bit cliche-Uke sometimes. And surely you could have come up with a better name for Vamp than 'Adrian'? It doesn't suit him. Nevermind. I also find it laughable that Olga's child has been revealed to be a girl called Molly-completely out of your control, obviously, still funny though.

Are you planning to keep writing it? Please dont tell me you will stop. There are so few worth reading fic out there, it would be cruel to stop this one without ending it

hey is this finished?

I must admit I don't know much about Metal Gear. I never played it. But I'm impressed by this story. Your writing stil is awesome!

I feel terrible that I've been reading this story for so long but have never reviewed it- bad Sukey, bad! *slaps own wrist* I absolutely adore this story, and find it to be one of the most beautiful, fascinating, well-written stories on the entire site, or possibly the net. Words cannot describe how much I adore Privideniya. In fact, the scene where Raiden and Vamp kiss in the bathroom is possibly the sexiest thing you've ever written. I litterally "squee-ed" when I read that!

HOWEVER. I was... less than enthused about the ensuing smut scene. While there's nothing wrong with a good lemon or two, the way you write is so frank, so honest, and so very very REAL, that the scene comes off as somewhat cold and voyeuristic. You've built up this characters to be deeper than the Grand Canyon and immesurably more complex, and yet when we see them in that kind of situation they're suddenly bared of all those layers and complexities, leaving them kind of... oh, I can't think of the word this late at night. Naked? And while this is most definitely an accomplishment and a nod to your superb writing skills, speaking from a reader's perspective it's kind of a jolt to the system, and not a great one. It worked great with Ocelotlet and Raikov, but Raiden and Vamp... I dunno. I guess I would've preferred a modest fade-to-black. But that's just me, I'm sure.

Anyways! Moving on. I really love the twists and turns you CONTINUALLY keep throwing at us. I'm on the edge of my seat to find out what's happening with Ocelot and the soldiers over in Russia- you could write a master thesis on all the layers of deception and loyalties that are laid over each other in that fortress. The melancholy feel of the Ocelot chapters is always so aching that I can almost not bear to read them, but I adore them nonetheless. And the Raiden/Vamp chapters? Their lighter, somewhat-humorous-but-still-serious tone is the perfect foil to Ocelot's emo-ing. I really appreciate how much the reader is able to connect to the characters, from their awkwardness and subtle flirting to their all-too-human capability for error.

Much love for this story. I will continue to check for updates, as this story shines like a beacon of joy through the horror that is the average american life. (emo emo angst.) Haha, really now. You'll have to excuse any oddness for the late hour. Thank you for taking your time to write this story, you have my eternal gratitude!

Lovely

Hi there. I didn't submit a review before because I didn't know how.

I have translated four chapters. It's a hard job. I've got to check for the references every now and then. It's fun to see "Hoo hoo I know it!"

Great serious fic. Now I'm thinking if Kojima can give a better explanation on the bio-type metal gear. I'm not flattering you, but up till now it's the best theory on post-MGS2. And what I like best is the characters. In-depth and in-character. I don't have to repeat how I love your Vamp, Raiden, Ocelot and Raikov. I say you write the most attractive OCs in a fanfiction.

cliff hanger? T_T

beautifully written, i really like ur take on ocelot, and vamp, and raiden

please keep writing
