Hey, there!
I just love this one. It's been quite a time since the last update. Are you ever going to continue it? It's such a great story and it would be a shame if it would be left uncompleted.

wow, I love this story. I can't believe it hasn't been updated for... well... ages.
I hope we do get to see more of this story as it is one of the few that have kept me interested. Sure you have your reasons though :)

I'm sorry to see this hasn't been updated in almost a year. I think it's really well written and the story has so much potential. It would be a shame if you wouldn't finish it. So please, update? I promise I'll review...

Oh, goodness. I never thought the day would come where I'd love Winston more than Kurtis. Well, maybe not that much, but with the way you write that old butler, I must say, the competition is on. His side comments are to die for (er, no pun intended) and very rarely do I find a fic that actually makes me like that old skin bag of bones and arthritis (for I have witnessed too many stereotypical butlers in my time. Happy to say, this was not one of them.) Kurtis' dialouge was flawless, I absolutely adored his preference of coffee and all of his other witty conceits that he threw at Lara. (His billion year old ancient weapon getting washed by Winston? Priceless.) Lara is also exectued exceedingly well, what with her one liners and brisk repetoir (because we all know I spelled that right...not.) Her comment in response to Winston's unforgettable choice of weapontry was amazing and had me in fits of hysteria. Oh how sad I am that Winston gets killed off. Such things upset me. Wah.

Oh, another thing I must point out, lest I shall be a terribly reviewer. Your narrative paragraphs are stunning. And by narrative, I mean those glue like sentences that make the story coherent. IE: the explanation of how Lara got back to the mansion, the restlessness foretold once she arrived, the action scenes that were described to perfection...all these scenarios that lack dialouge were done flawlessly. Usually I am bored when vocal communication is absent, but I found that with the way you write even things that normally seem mundane take up an exceptional interesting edge that would normally not be present with most writers.

Anyway. Excellent job, and belated happy birthday. Here, have a cookie! :)

I figured if I left another review, it would inspire you to update quicker! ;) I love Winston's character in this, at one point it really made me laugh about Lara's comment on his choice of weapons. Class!
How's Reborn in Shadow coming along? Hope there isn't any writer's block :(
As I said UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! i beg you :D x

Loving the plot line you've got going here... I'm finding it a bit confusing, seeing as I don't know a thing about the games, but that's okay!

Bwa hah ha haa! The chirugai got washed up! That's just too funny. *grin* I laugh every time i think about it. I also like Winston in this story. There's just something comical in his behaviour. Keep it up, this is a great story! Can't wait to see what happens next.. :D

I can't believe I'd never noticed this one before now. I enjoyed it; a job well done Jordy.
I especially liked the part in Chapter 2 when Winston had the toilet brush. It reminded me so much of this TV show episode I saw the other day.
Indian Jones? Ark of the Covenant? Hm...what is going on there? *ponders the connection*

Mwahaha, Mrs. Karel! This chapter is a true trip down rubber-ducks lane… Evil lawyers… surreal butlers… tea vs coffee conflict.
I’ve seldom laughed so much as when Winston washed the Chirugai. 800 years of history dust gone down the drain. Oh that poor, poor Lux-Veritatis, takes just one English butler (correct myself: Irish) to ruin it all.
And this is my personal highlight here: "...in its captive miniature ocean...". Beautiful wording!
Try as I did, I couldn’t locate the Indy ref… must have to do with the Ark of the Covenant, I gather. I’ll probably realize in a couple of days and then slap my forehead, D’oh! But it felt wrong to hold back this review just to prove myself how smart I am.

Oh, almost forgot. You know what I did like a lot as well? That Lara is already considering a romantic involvement with Kurtis. Good to see a fic that lets them act like adult people.

Yay! Kurtis Kurtis Kurtis! :D

The first thing I have to say is: I LOVE your Winston. He's totally fantastic... the poor Chirugai, legendary weapon of the Lux Veritatis, having to suffer the indignity of being washed up! This is a lot more lighthearted than RiS, and it works really well. Not that I'm saying RiS isn't. Y'know! :)

Like the three Periapt Shards = three Sleepers idea, and the Ora Dagger/Periapt Shard parallel. As always, it looks like you have a Master Plan in mind... can't wait!

I love proper observations of Croft Manor, too. It makes me go all fangirly...

*plonks down on your doorstep to wait for more*
