Brilliantly done. :)

"Don't tell me. We're the last two people alive and this is for the good of the species." - Perfect.

I know I've likely said this in another review, but I love the way you infuse Alec's background history into your stories, and how your fics play out like an episode. Action, adventure, suspense, angst, fluff... It's all there. I adore the UST - it gives me happy stomach butterflies.

Not quite sure what I'm gonna do when I've finished your stories. Well, asides from rock in a corner and cry. You'd better be writing more? Leave that Supernatural stuff alone. Dean will never be as incredible as Alec. Just... Just keep on writing Alec? You do it so well!

Damn! Nice way to ruin an intimate moment :D

Have I mentioned you're in the top 2 of my most favourite writers? Right their next to Roonblah. I wouldn't mind if I never read another DA writer asides from you two ever again, long as I never run out of your stuff to read.

Loved every chapter of this one, and would like to throw down some of my favourite quotes, but I've been chewing through this fic like a starving woman. I want to just hurry up and get to the end, but at the same time I don't want it to end.

It still floors me how well you cook up these storylines, and the incredible job you do of writing Max and Alec's UST. If only there were more writers of your caliber, the fandom would be just as alive as it was back in the good old days.

Right, now off to read the rest of the fic and, okay... *Must. End. Adoring. Hero. Worship. Now.*

;) sweet story

Cute! At last together!

So a new facet in your stile: very cute humor. I loved it.

Wow - what an intense ride. From the time that guard tasered Alec until the time she was yelling at him in the car to BREATHE I don't think - I - took a breath. And when she tried to catch him, hurt him and he blacked out, I nearly fell out of my chair curled in a fetal position - it was like I could feel his pain. Your descriptive writing, and the fact that I feel like you've hit the characters precisely, sucked me in from beginning to end. Poor Alec, I just wanted to scoop him up and protect him from the bad things. Awesome story, looking forward to more!

Just wanted to say that I've been reading all your DA stories and I love the way you write the characters- especially Alec. You give a lot of insight into their thinking and behaviors and I have enjoyed every one of your stories...! Would love to see more DA from you, but I'm looking forward to reading your Supernatural stories as well. Thanks for sharing!

Great read..onto next chapter..

This story is pure perfection. I love the way you've written EVERYONE, you are just so in tune with the characters. And I love Alec :)

And there we have Alec laid bare.

I like to think that Max didn't really get the bulk of what Manticore could do to them. I think they wanted to control her without breaking her spirit.

It makes sense that "494" would build some resistance. I imagine he must have ended up in Psy-OPs a lot more than any other transgenic. The fact that his personality is so different pre and post Berrisford is testament to that. He could have imitated the shy seriousness of Lehane, but instead became a little more... biting.

Thank you for exploring this.

The name Tim really puts the fear into no one. I'm hoping he meets a little bird with the name of Karma.

Okay. So reading and reviewing your story Loose the Hounds got me to check out all your other stories, and I happened to notice this one. I remember reading this, I think a few days ago. And I'm guessing that I forgot to review. *is ashamed* I am very sorry for not reviewing then. And this story is just as awesome as Loose the Hounds.

It's so nice to find another author with completed works that I haven't reread all the stories over and over again.

Also, you may want to think about joining Nuns With Pens. The members there would love you.

I love this story. The part in the woods about Max's flashback to Ben and about Alec's personality changing after the Berrisford Agenda.

I love your stories and that your quick to update.

loved it ur amazing

YAY! Hehehe *giggles madly and squees crazily* LOVELOVELOVE! That ending was so perfect! How they settled back into their banter but admitted what they wanted, and it was all just sweet and cute and yay!

Thought Alec's thoughts on Manticore and the Coercives and his experience were great, and insightful. Loved that Max punched him out of that train of thought, it made me lol. Also how the gravity of Alec's actions proved to Max how he felt, and opened up her eyes about how she felt for him. And the fact she kissed him to snap him out of his panic! :-D It was all just amazing.

You're a brilliant writer, and the entire fic was awesome! I completely loved it. Sorry for my rambly reviews, I doubt they made much sense. But yeah, amazing work, my dear! Can't wait to see whatever you come up with next ;-D

HOLY FRIT! *stares, jaw dropped*

OMG! Alec held off the Coercive's orders! OMFG! It almost killed him, but he didn't kill Max, YAY! In yo' face, Tim! Alec's right too, that is a sissy name. Pssh.

Oh, that was so angsty though. I really liked your take on Alec's experience in Psy-Ops though, how much he had changed after Berrisford, and how his personality started to develop. The fact that he wasn't the same mindless automatum as before, and the fact that even though they ripped him apart, he was strong enough to defy them. It just rings so true for him, it's perfect.

Hated the bit when Tim made him admit that he loves Max but doesn't think she loves him, what a way for him to first admit it *tuts* That arse! But I loved how he tightly he held onto his name, and how it helped him remember who he was. Specially since Max named him, that makes it so much better :-D
