Ah, this is what I get for not checking for a couple weeks! I missed this update until today. Anyway, this chapter was totally fabulous. I love the way that you wrote Free, and how PERFECTLY you captured Spirit's POV, too. Black Star and Tsubaki were a lot more believable in this chapter. And that bit with Soul and Medusa was so perfectly, perfectly creepy.

You know, just the other day I flipped through the ENTIRE Soul Eater archive. How did I miss this one!?! The plot is amazing, and I've gotta say, I'd been wondering what might have happened if he hadn't blocked it too. And there aren't nearly enough stories where Soul needs to be protected, even though that's an obviously huge tendency in Maka.

They characters are portrayed perfectly, I can see them doing everything, hear them saying the words, perfect. Really the only thing I can suggest is that there needed to be a little more about Soul's situation. I would love to see how he got captured, maybe as a bonus chapter or something. Its just that the way you wrote the chapter where it happened left me thinking 'oh my god, what happened? How?' And thats the other reason; true he's still in training and not really a match for a witch, but still, it can't be easy to restrain someone who can turn any part of their body into a blade, or morph at will into a huge scythe that only Maka can move. Also, I'm rather curious about how the've managed to restrain/contain him for a whole month. Though maybe that has something to do with all that fatigue you mentioned he had.

Only technical problems were minor too, just a few missing words and the occasional tense change, things I find happen to me when I start going to fast.

Keep up the good work, its amazing, and I've gotta know whats going to happen next.

OMG I love it, Love It, LOVE IT! Sorry I didn't read it sooner! I just heard about it on the forum!

Aha~ an update! How I smiled when I saw this!

YEAH YOU UPDATED! *huggles* Awesome, dude, just AWESOME!

This was a very good chapter, because YEAH I see plot happenin'! And YEAH we finally see Soul again (even though he's more than just a little worse for the wear, huh? :( ) I like how us readers can see the plot thickening and manifesting itself, leading to all sorts of conspiracies without everything being too easy or cheesy. And I especially liked how Black*Star ignored Maka's warning to tell Tsubaki it was all just a dream. So in-character of him. :P Even sillier was how Tsubaki was all, "We're doomed." The fate of your best friends CAN seem small in the face of a big test, huh? XD All in all, GREAT chapter once again! b^^d

P.S.: As someone who graduated from uni app stress last year, all I can say is hope for the best. Sorry I couldn't say anything less cheesy, but, well...ALL THE BEST!! b^^d

YAY!! You finally, FINALLY updated!! I have been waiting and waiting and wondering and wondering. YAY!!

This was a good chapter. The plot is indeed perking up, and moving along quite nicely. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :3

I loved the part with Black Star and Tsubaki, that was good. TsuStar always makes me smile. ^_^

As well as Maka and her Papa. I love the rare tender moments between those two, as its normally used as a catalyst for humor. And he made her giggle, YAY!! It was cute~ You always write the best father/daughter moments for these two, I've noticed.

FINALLY WE SEE SOUL!! I have been wondering what's been going on with him!! I'm glad he seems to be faring pretty well. Ah, but it's always boring on the prisoner's end, isn't it? Sleep, be beaten, listen to Medusa gloat, sleep. Not too much fun. Poor, poor Soul. *huggles imprisoned Soul*

Poor Maka. Her life is a big pile of sucky-suck right now. Hopefully things will improve.

Your writing is amazing. I love the way you write. If I could, I would drag your writing home and keep it forever in a little box. And pet it and love it. Yes. That sounds SO creepy. XD *pets Marsh's writing*

Good chapter!! Keep on truckin'!!

Happy Writing!!

Its so pretty! I want to cuddle this story noaw! Plez. May I adopt it?

Epic awesome Free rescue is epic awesome!

I think that the situation with Tsubaki was resolved a little bit too easily, and Black Star was just a little bit too willing to accept Maka's silence in the matter (especially considering that Tsubaki got hurt). But other than that, everything was perfectly spot-on, as usual. I *love* Maka's Books of Doom and I *love* the way that you wrote everything going through her head during her battle against the guards.

WHOOT! AN UPDATE! :D

And WOW...o.o The plot is seriously thickening here, dude. Poor Maka. Poor Black Star. And poor Tsubaki. All of them are getting caught up in all this, and...wow. o.o Most of all, poor Soul. When will he and Maka meet again? They're not running cruel experiments on him, are they? NO :((

And Maka is a BOOK? Eh, makes sense I guess. I mean, if POTS can be weapons in this series, why not books, rite? ^^

Update as soon as you can, yo. I can't wait to see where this leads next! b^^d

OH WOW! I just read this entire story straight through, beginning to end, because I COULDN'T STOP!! This was a VERRY interesting--would you call it an AU? So this a review for the entire series so far.

I love the way you write. Your prose is very good, highly vivid and descriptive. Good characterization, I love how you flex the dialogue, and the way the characters consort. I also like how the story is so introspective and deep in the character's thoughts, even during fight scenes. You do a good job of lacing what they're thinking in their head with what's going on on the outside.

Maka eating souls was . . . interesting. I totally didn't see that coming. But I thoroughly enjoyed that part, it was very well done. You described the pressure Ragnarok was putting on Maka very well. And I loved the "I killed a man, Soul." That was good.

I also like the you're doing the implied pairings. It's better than blatant, screaming "blush, blush, I think you're cute" stuff that's in a lot of other fanfics. It's way more subtle, I like it.

Maka's a BOOK!! Can you say "Maka-chop Hunter??" XD

That's all I got. Keep up the good work!!

Happy writing!!

you got me glued to the screen during the fighting scenes. Maka's weapon form was totally unexpected! I was hoping for her to be a scythe actually. Never the less, this chapter still rocked. please update soon!

I am amazed. This story is just simply terrific. You capture what's happening and how they feel. Amazing. Please continue.

Did Maka faint at the sight of the black blood or was it the black blood in herself? What did happen between Soul running and Maka's waking up? Why the heck did Soul decide to call Crona, "Pinky"? Why am I asking all these questions and not reading to answer them? That's a good question.0.0
And I'll check out what you said about ep.48.

I'm NOT gonna ask about the beginning. Heh, Kid a hairstylist. Must be hectic when he makes a mistake. So, instead of Free it's Crona they're fighting and not with Black Star and Tsubaki? So, I suppose the whole secented candles, Soul and Maka yelling at each other in front of Stein, the Black Star:"Nyahaha! I will overcome this jug!" Stein: "No, the jug is a jug. The water will suck at your soul, so I suggest you put only a finger in for now." Black Star sticks hand in water, the party, Eurka and Mizune failing to kill Medusa and so on and so forth didn't happen? Well, I'm gonna find out.:P
BTW you might want to be a little more descriptive in some parts and, at times, I'm lost and can't figure who spoke. Please work on that.(Lots of people have that problem, trust me.)

Wow, you have a very interesting writing style. Maka's Room is so...Maka. Kinda glad you didn't have any romance stuff, parents yelling at each other, insane doctors trying to assure and sweet(not!) nurses threatening is waay funnier. I wonder what happens next.
