... All I can think is: *sob* and... wow. When I read the line when Lance wonders if Pietro is getting eaten by worms, I felt like I was punched. I guess I'm kind of a slowpoke, I didn't get that Pietro was dead already, so I was just like: Huh? No! *siffles*. And listening to Farewell by Apocalyptica didn't help at all. All I can say is that unlike many fanfic authors, you don't make death all splashy and dramatic, it's more like a real death, just utterly dumb... And so, so sad.
I like how you describe Lance, he shuts everything in, but the few things he lets out are so touching, philosophical, beautiful! Best (worst?) thing about your story is that it's beautiful in all its sadness... I feel weird having enjoying resding it. Eh, fanfic readers are just a bunch of perverted, masochistic beings and that's a compliment . Anyway, I don't remember if I already commented your fic or not, but it's just so realistic, poetic (in a morbid way...), well-written, coherent. Poor, poor Lance... Well, I guess I'm just gonna go back to listening to Apocalyptica and crying XD.
Wow, I loved this fic, even though it was oddly depressing, I took my user name form the Everclear song 'Heroin Girl.' It's my favourite, along with Amphetamine-I have a weakness for drug names, even though I won't touch the stuff. I have all of their CDs, and I live in Oregon, so I've seen them in concert a couple of times. Art Alexis never fails to amaze, I'm afraid. I love the X men, they have to the best american comics in the whole world, adn X men evo isnt bad either, although I was dissapointed by the lack of ROMY.
... holy Jesus, that was good. I'm glad I read it at work; if I'd read it anywhere else I would've started bawling right here and now.
Ugh. Isn't that the way of life, though? Just because you fix something doesn't mean it's going to be all better. Just because you think you can doesn't mean you actually can. I guess Lance had to learn that the hard way.

You know how one story can push you a little over the egde when you're having a bad week? Be honored; this was that story. I cried, and then i realized that the anger and the confusion in it were so raw, and that was what touched me. It seemed real, the drama was so honest in a way.
Thanks for sharing this with us

By Christ...conclude your fic... pure anguish to wait the end of that story. He is Wonderfull!
Aww, poor Lance. I wonder if Pietro was really a target of a robbery? Annyway, your wroting talents are unbelievable. Wonderful, just wonderful. I especially enjoyed chapter 7. It had so much insight in it and I just seemed to connect with it. Is that true, about rape fantasies steming from repressed sexual abuse? Its very interesting. I also enjoyed the sentence "I think there’s a little part in all of us that wants mystery and bad things, that wants to be unhappy because it’s dramatic." Very insightful. Please update soon with the last chapter, I will be looking forward to it.
-Sniffle.- Pietro-kun...-Huggles Malik plushie.- I loved it. The angst was so deep, and this is very well written. Not to mention the many mentions of slash in this. It was spectacular, and I'm not overexaggerating. I flat-out loved it. You're going to continue this, right? Only a few chapters probably, but I'd love it if there were just at least one more. Domo arigatou!
