To say that this story was interesting is a SERIOUS understatement.
If nothing else, you actually created a version of Emma I could actually kind of find myself liking; I'm really not a particular fan of the version in the comics at the moment (The whole Scott/Emma thing just doesn't make sense to me; she undermines his authority and belittles his decisions at every opportunity; why is he staying with her?), but the Emma you created here isn't that bad.
Plus, of course, you created a HIGHLY effective 'Evolution'-verse version of Sinister; all the arrogance of the comic version, with a new and highly intriguing plan to create his own warped branch of the evolutionary ladder.
The sheer lengths he was willing to go to in an attempt to 'upgrade' Scott may have been disturbing to say the least, but you managed to capture the mentality behind those actions brilliantly while still guaranteeing that we'd see the guy as a complete basket case.
Plus, of course, the rather interesting twist of Magneto, Mystique and the Acolytes being the ones who ended up rescuing 'Scott'- even if he didn't know who he was at the time- certainly added a few interesting touches.
If Professor X ever needed proof that the confrontation with Apocalypse changed them, that's it; they have nothing to gain and nobody to prove anything to by trying to help 'Blake', and yet they do it.
His time in the Brotherhood also added some interesting moments to the story, although I was kind of disappointed that Wanda didn't try to ask him out or something; it might have added an extra complication to the storyline, but you can hardly deny that it would have been interesting to see how she, Scott/Blake and Jean reacted to that particular issue when Scott's memories were restored.
On the topic of Jean, I have to congratulate you for resisting the temptation to just have Jean's old telepathic link with him instantly activate and restore his memories when they met; you acknowledged that the link WOULD have an influence on things, but didn't make it a 'Deus Ex Machina' solution to the situation.
My only real regret is that we didn't get the chance to really see 'Blake' going all-out against the Marauders; if he'd had the chance to REALLY work out what he could do, I get the impression he would have kicked Sinister's cronies all the way to the other side of the planet...
I get why it didn't happen, of course- he had no real way to limit the damage he'd do if he really unleashed his power so that he wouldn't affect anybody on HIS side-, but a man's allowed to wish, right?
In any case, keep up the good work!

Your story is moving, and you left me on the edge in each chapter.

I believe that you characterized the characters very good.

I love Scott's angst, and i hope you don't mind of me adding it to my C2: Angst, Give me Angst.

Thank you for writing it, as i enjoy reading it.

WOW! THIS is an amazing story. I just found it and was hooked from beginning to end.

I was just wondering, will there be a sequel or is this the end of this arc forever?

Keep up the good work. I'll just read your other completed fics.

Wow. This is absolutely incredible. That was low, even for Sinister. Excellent story, man. Love the work you're doing with Agent G in Hellfire and Brimstone, too. Its one of my favorite stories.

It was nice to see that everything was returning to normal and that both Magneto and Mystique got their kids back safely. The most important thing was that Scott was back. Now everyone would have to get use to the new Scott as well as himself. The reactions from everyone that found out that Scott was Blake were great. Scott has made some new friends in the Brotherhood. When he shook the hands of both Magneto and Mystique was great. Most importantly, Scott and Jean were reunited and their relationship can only get stronger. Emma and Betsy are now free but I wish they would've stayed with the X-Men but it's good that they have their lives back. This was a wonderful story and I can't wait to read your next one.

A wonderful ending for a wonderful story.

I especially liked the scence between Raven, Kurt and Rogue. Of course I liked the little hint of Romyness that was there too ... not to mention Mystiques reaction to it. :)

And I thought it was really well done the way you handled Scott and Lance after they found out that they were friends with a person they didn't like.

I also like the little scene the Maximoff twins had ...it's so nice to see them getting along.

But the crowning moment had to be when Scott blasted his toombstone ... and then he and Jean kissed ... *sighs*

Can't wait to read Sinister Soldiers! :)

A great end. You teid the loose ends and resolved the... unresolved issues between the X-Men perfectly. And you know I loved the final scene. I'm always eager of reading good Jott.

One of my favorite stories, indeed. You have a wonderful knack to write.
