HitokiriKurisuta 2008-09-29 ch 1,	abuse; x ; That was stupendously written. I applaud thee. Horrifying, terrifying, and moving, all in one.
Aditou 2008-09-07 ch 1,	abuseWow. Just...wow. You tell quite the story.
Xany Kaos 2008-09-02 ch 1,	abuseOh...Oh MAN. Oh wow. Gah, I'm in shell-shock now, but I just have to review anyway. That was seriously...the most amazing fic I have ever read in any fandom whatsoever. It was just...perfect. Terrifying. Wonderful. I've been reading a book of George RR Martin's short stories, and halfway through, I realised that's what this reminded me of. It's that level of fantastic. The way you get the beautifully heartwarming, without being twee, moments between Sari and Ratchet, and contrast it with the increasing horror of the story...it just made this so perfect. That last paragraph almost made me feel physically ill (in a good way?); even though I knew it was coming, your description was just so brutal. And I absolutely love how well you translate the concept of human war to what they actually would experience--it's something I've never been able to properly suss about any Transformers series, really, and you made it some real. And the conversation about optics/eyes is such a necessary scene for Sari, that whole "similar but different" thing that she needs to understand, and it was perfectly done. As horrible as everything was, that "well, missy" line had me all squee-warm. And how she seems like the alien. But how mechanical you make it in the flashbacks...that just blows my mind because it works so well. It was just amazing. And ShortShock. Oh man. I saw your fantastic picture a few days ago, and thought he was adorable--could just hear his little voice looking at him. And today I saw a blue Vespa and smiled and thought of that cute little character. And then I read this. Woah. Just the creation of that character alone... I don't have the words, and I'm trying to. Your prose is absolutely gorgeous, just beautiful. I used to think I was a good writer, but I am nowhere near thise calibre. Everything about this story was perfect. That's the only real word I've got. Thank you for writing this. Wow.
Aeolus the Soul Hunter 2008-08-16 ch 1,	abuseAw, this nearly made me cry. Awesome job!
Misya 2008-08-12 ch 1,	abuse'Sapping' is one of the most nicely horrible things I've ever read about in TF fiction. It's got all the squick factor of cannibalism, with a pinch of necrophilia thrown in for good measure... And the fact that the characters can't stop themselves from doing it is pure classic Body Horror. AND! Thematically, it makes sense, in a grim sort of way. (You need energon? There's some energon, right there. It just happens to be inside that dead body. Enjoy your meal, soldier.) The ending is nasty (and I mean that in a good way). If I was in Ratchet's situation, I don't know what would be worse: knowing that you've done something like that, or not being told, and forever wondering... Also, I like the phrase 'feathery red protein-strands'. It makes Sari seem suitably weird and alien.
Xerios 2008-08-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseWell, this is definitely going on my favorite stories list for TFA. Very well done, I applaud you.
GBscientist 2008-08-08 ch 1,	abuseI would have preferred an ending that exonerated Ratchet, rather than simply excusing and covering-up his actions.
Tugera 2008-08-08 ch 1,	abuseHh, suppose my question on DA is answered, now. ^^ Cute little OC, poor guy. Reminds me just slightly of one of my fav chars from another show... I like him. ^^ Heh, not the kinda stuff you should be sharing with a nine year old, perhaps... She acted mature enough though. Love the ending. It's all happy again, than dark and ..woah.
Elita One 2008-08-07 ch 1,	abuseaw Bonding time b/w Ratch and Sari
Alana Hikari-Chan 2008-08-07 ch 1,	abuse... guh. I'm suddenly reminded of how very much I love your writing. ... GUH. Wow. Also, Ratchet. Also, WOW. andandand yeah write more TFA fic plz if it's all gonna be this fantastic :D

ShanDae Bachem 2008-08-07 ch 1, anon.	abuseVery well written. It's an interesting concept. Definitely makes you think about the fine lines between good and evil...
