| whatsthefracas 2008-06-22 ch 15, | abuselittle late on the review but OMG i adored the scene with robin, marian, and penelope. it was perfectly executed. perfectly! love it love it love it. haha. so brilliant! |
| harllett 2008-06-14 ch 15, | abuseI truly, truly loved this chapter. It wasn't laden with OTT drama or angst or romance, but every part was important and struck a real chord. Allan and Penelope - I am actually starting to see these two as cute together!! I giggled so much when he called her Rafiki. And the image of her in a helmet! So funny! But I think she actually needs one! Also, it was kind of sad, because her airy fairyness comes across as a defense mechanism - like, if she acts ditzy she can avoid answering questions about tricky issues, like the drugs. Aw little Lukey!! “I heard the eighties want their pants back.” LOL. HOMG please have Marian call her baby Zeus. That would be awesome. And yay Robin finally found out! Loved the plastic surgery fake out - so funny. And so typically Robin! In your usual brilliant style you took an awkward moment and laced it with just the right amount of humour to make it both entertaining and touching. Saff with Jane's clothing - oh! So sad. And Will, watching...it must have been so hard for him! And ah cliffhanger! I remember the pandemic, and how panicked Saff was...oh no! Quick, Will, give her a big hug... Oh, I'm worried too, I think I need a hug as well. Over here, my boy... |
| Mizco 2008-06-14 ch 15, | abuseGreat chapter. I'm glad Robin finally knows. |
| My-Little-Emmilette 2008-06-14 ch 15, | abuseHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Emma xoxoxoxoxox |
| Shanima 2008-06-14 ch 15, | abuseOh noes! I remember the global pandemic. This will make things very interesting. I liked how this chapter was a series of scenes in various parts of the house, like scenes in a film. And all the disney references made me smile :) Finally, Marian told Robin! The silly boy... Saffiya wearing Will's mothers clothes was really sweet, but must have been so weird for him. -x- |
| Candyfloss77 2008-06-13 ch 15, | abusethe bit with Dan opening Jane's clothes made me so sad. And the pandemic?? i have a feeling it's going to be a dark oncoming chapter/s... sorry if my review is short/bad, i am writing this at 6 in the morning because i have to go to a party! update soon! x |
| Biancaneve 2008-06-13 ch 15, | abuseOh, I'm so glad Penelope's alive in this universe... she cracks me up. The Lion King, LOL. And I loved the bit about Allan feeling more mature around her, because he has to take up the slack when she's being... herself... And, um... womb-fruit? Really, Penelope? Teehee. The breast-implant thing was a great fake-out, and I'm glad it's finally out in the open. The "who's the dad?"/"Not funny Robin" bit made me giggle too. And Lukey's clothes! Baha! "The eighties want their pants back..." Penelope really does need a helmet. Also possibly knee-and-elbow pads... I've used up my stock of coherence for the day writing a stupid exam, so I'll just have to say that Djaq's memories of her mother when she sees Jane's clothes were wonderful, and leave it at that. Eek, cliffhanger! Pandemic! |
| Vulpes Lapis 2008-06-13 ch 15, | abuseSevere Wii elbow. Can't use left hand. I see your fanfic update and suddenly I feel a whole lot better. Did you know your writing has analgesic properties? FINALLY Marian told him. FINALLY! That poor man shouldn't have been left in the dark for so long. I loved the breast implants confusion--I had to explain to everybody here why I was laughing so hard. And of course, as usual, Penelope is completely bonkers and seriously awesome. Apart from the drug adduction. And naturally you leave us at a cliffhanger. WHAT IS VAYSEY PLANNING THAT INVOLVES GLOBAL PANDEMICS?? |
| Candyfloss77 2008-06-10 ch 14, | abusei liked how you put in Will/Saffiyah making up and then told us that Guy gave Saff those scars. Your writing really is great, and i love it. And the twist with guy letting them go-(sighs and claps) speechless! update soon please xx |
| lili44 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abusebrilliant chapter your descriptions were utterly beautiful loved it all especially Will and Saffiyah reuniting! |
| Biancaneve 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abuseTedious? Tedious? *bad Spanish accent* You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. The real standout bit for me in this chapter was the Guy/Saffiyah scene - disturbing, yes, but very powerfully written. Your picture of the seedy neighbourhood was brilliant - I love the way you always find unusual ways of describing things. It often reads like one of those "What am I?" riddles, but in a much more sophisticated way, and it's great. Loved the image of the penny that remains in Guy's pocket as a sign of the compassion he sorely lacks, and the way he reads Saff's defiant gaze as a reproach on behalf of the tramp as well. I found it interesting that he was reflecting on *her* "mistakes" - an insight into the way he justifies what he has done, by making it her fault. That really rang true. And this bit was just awesome: "his father's breath burning his neck, the cry of “failure” and the painful pounding in his head – all of which sounded almost delicious with redemption." Phew! I'm intrigued by the scars on Guy's palms... can't wait to see what that's about. (And this is where you tell me it was already explained several chapters earlier and I am a blonde bimbo for forgetting...) Meanwhile, Allan and Marian are a riot as always. Marshmallows and "Mother Mary." *snort* Yay Wendy actually did something useful for a change - I'd say she owes Allan one after he took care of her at the ball. And Penelope - oh no! LMAO at Will and Saff as "the Aladdin and Jasmine of this genre", and Saff's scene with the photos on Will's wall was so touching. "Her pupils flickered from photograph to photograph; faster and more desperate to leech out the memory clinging to the pallid walls..." Both the writing and the idea behind it are wonderful, and I got a lump in my throat when she got to the final photo. And then WillSaff make up. Aww! I particularly loved this little descriptive gem: "The distant hollers from the local drunks weren't the only echoes chewing at Will's peace as he stared thoughtfully into the ceiling, hoping to erode through the plaster and watch Saffiyah as she dreamed." I could just see him doing that! Yay for multiple updates this week! Damn, has *everyone* finished exams but me? :( |
| harllett 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abuseOh. This is alright, I suppose. . . . . . Um, OK. That was me trying not to hit the gush button like I seem to every time I read this fic ;-) but it won't work...because... OMGWILLANDSAFFHAVEFINALLYSORTEDTHEMSELVESOUTANDITMAKESMESOHAPPYBECAUSETHEYWEREBEINGSOSILLYANDOHMYGODTHEYKISSEDANDTHEREUNIONWASSOLOVELYMYHEARTALMOSTEXPLODED. And, *breathe*. I am trying really, really hard to fix my thoughts into some kind of coherent order... Allan and Marian! Allan and Marian! I love the way they interact, its almost flirtatious but not because obviously Allan knows his boundaries when it comes to Robin's girl! And then the bit with Wendy being like "Hey, I'm a cool teacher, I'm not going to drop you in it" *produces keys, tool of rebellion* was so funny. The only part of this that made me go "oh!" was the discovery in Penelope's purse...oh noes... Okay, Guy, please get away from me or I might punch you. Yay for letting Saff escape...BUT THAT IN NO WAY REDEEMS YOUR EVILNESS, EVEN IF YOU LOOK AT ME WITH YOUR SEXY GUYLINER. Will rescued Saff *bounces happily* I laughed so hard at him crashing through the door, I just had an image of him running into it and getting knocked backwards! But no, he bursts through, Super-Will!! And I love how desperate he is to free her, "scrabbling at her wrists"... The Marian/Saff was brilliant. I love that they are friends; they should totally have had some girl time in the show. Marian's giggling fit was brilliant, and Luke - oh, my heart exploded from the adorable factor! I also liked the description of Will's room, although at one point I thought Saff was going to find a picture of herself on the wall! Oh noes! Will broke his camera! What is sexy photographer-Will going to do now? Oh, I see what the little minx is going to do...run upstairs and ravish his lost love! *ahem* okay, you wrote it a lot more touchingly than that. I love how she comes out of the room as he gets upstairs, and I LOVE their kiss and more kiss! “I thought I'd lost you -” he whispered into her jaw. She could feel the unshaved stubble on her nose, his firm hands cradling the back of her neck as the hot moisture trembled at her lips – the gap between them molding until no white walls could peek between their bodies; legs tangling and stumbling out of the hallway until they collapsed on Will's bed, muscles never faltering as the pair clung to each other." *dies of happiness* |
| soulprovider 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abuseThis story is amazing! The description is fantastic. The Will/Djaq was awsome!! |
| Vulpes Lapis 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abuseThey made up--FINALLY!! You had me worried there for a while... This is a really, really fantastic story. I love absolutely everything about it--especially the way you've put our favourite outlaws into a contemporary setting while still remaining true to their characters. Penelope is a special breed of win, by the way. She's so quirky and weird and freaking AWESOME. She's totally opposite Much, and yet they fit together. XD I'm looking forward to more. |
| jinxywinxy 2008-06-07 ch 14, | abusethis chapter confused me a bit, but thats probably cause im thick...oh well. update soon. |
