I love this story (:

I am amazed that you don't have more reviews! This was excellent, I found your work because someone on Live Journal recommended it, I am so glad they did, this was great! You did an excellent job!

Nice whump story. Good job.

Wow! What an awesome story! I really felt for John in this one and it's so good for Carson to stick up for John despite him knowing that John won't like what he was doing!

Regarding const. crit, just a minor thing (you might already know this & it might have been a typo) but I thought I'll mention since you asked. I noticed you used “Its for your own good.” It should be "It's" (ie, it is), where as “its” is a possessive form of it (eg: stand the box or its side, or the cat licked its tail). I noticed many writers often get mixed up with the it’s and its, so thought I’ll mention it.

But really, this is such a fab, well written story! You dived into the psychological trauma of it so well, and I loved the descriptions that you used! :)

Wonderful story. Very well written. It was fun reading it.

Oh my, what an emotional fic. It was difficult to see our normally strong Shep in such a fragile state, so defeated, so dejected and yet you could totally understand Carson's reluctance and urgency in inserting the NG tube, for fear of losing his patient, his friend.
Thank goodness Shep pulled through in the end, a testament to his strength.
A wonderful fic and I hope you write more soon.
Thanks.

Oh, poor Shep. Great to read he has such good friends to stand in for him, although the decision was really ** them. The last sentence is so very true.
Well written story and very convincing. Thanks

aw also a great story!

Listy! You must continue to write! I loved this!! I wish there had been more :) I loved the little bits of the torture rather than getting it all at once :)

John needs some really happy pills to make the world all rainbows and unicorns.

Very scary thought on behavior mod. by withholding and punishing using the food. Particularly liked the ending statement of, "The pain never came." Very nice observation.

Loved it but the only thing that I could find wrong with it is that it ended. I'm off to read harvester now thank you

Nice story. Must have been an awful experience for him to still believe they were going to come for him. Are we going to find out about it? hint, hint

Very powerful and gripping fic. I can feel his pain and fear, not wanting to give up any control. I even got misty eyed. Awesome whumpage.

Oh that was nice! Awesome whumpage, both physical and psychological and some very nice characterisation there of pretty much all of the team. Well done!

Lovely fic, Listy. Poor John, I just wanted to go and hug him! I like how you've explored his vulnerability without going out of character, and how you've explored taking away his control. Nicely done.
