that waz gr8! Kudos and hats off to you! I am a huge fan of snake and Meryls you write the whole thing yrself?,i mean no inspiration? I would have loved it even more ,had it been official cannon just hope that they get togetherin MGS 4. Someone mentioned that kojima said they will.e- mail me if u have any leads on this issue!Add more on yr fan fic based on the latest developments in MGS4 trailers, y know a prediction on how their relationship will be like in Mgs4,that will be agr8 read,considering the fact meny gamers are trying to gain insight into their MGS 4 chemistry!

YYEEAAHH! FINALLY, a story with Meryl, and not with Otacon! Not because I dont like them, you've just made so many of them!

Anyway, this fic rocks! I keep coming back and read it, its so good, so full of feelings! One of my favorites!

loved this fic! (not to mention all of the other great ones you have written :) just wanted to a loyal reader and review... keep writing!

I adore this story. I have cravings for it - I just HAVE to keep coming back and reading it again.

If I don't, the itching starts...

But you don't wanna hear about that...

*Turns into a babbling idiot* Do you know how much I love this story. Call me a sap but I almost started crying... yeah almost I didn't though. Like you said to me before we don't see Snake outside the battlefield but I see him as a loving individual (once he has someone/thing to love). I thought the story was handled very well. Pure class!

I love this fic so much. I kind of guessed that this would happen to them, but it was a really lovely fic.

Wow! Great story! Very unique, interesting, and unlike anything I've ever read before. I know who Billy Joel is but I haven't heard this song before so I'll download it :)

Keep up the good work, you kick butt!

steLLa

Meryl's still alive! The hell I thought she was shot and killed and you get the stealth suit and everything. Oh wait that was another ending wasn't it? Well I can't imagine Snake to be so passionate. I mean he's aged so much after two years and he doesn't seem like that type. I can see him fighting for ideals and hell all I see him doing is fighting. I like the story, but it was really ooc. Well anyways I doubt there will be Meryl in any other metal gear, hell I doubt there will be another metal gear after how crappy Metal gear solid 2 became. Raiden he messed the whole game up. Good story, unrealistic but good story, no this is not a flame.

WHY IS THERE ONLY EIGHT REVIEWS FOR THIS STORY! I HAVE COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY LOST FAITH IN ALL HUMANITY!::brushes hair back with hand:: Okay, I'm okay. Very sweet. I'm reduced to tears. Damn you... Characterization was great,very sweet, but didn't like the dating different people thing...but hey it's you're story. I loved it!

Theres nothin i like more than a romance story based on Metal Gear Solid, the whole story was great, the storyline was true to the very end. Personaly i thought it was great, but the thing is that it keeps on repeating "This is the time...", and it gets annoying. In some parts it just doesn't fit at all. but all and all i give it a good 8.5 out of 10 :-D

Wow, that was an amazing song fic. Powerful and moving, with definete realisim. I like this one alot. Keep up the good writing :)

wow...it seems a few people have taken this to be a sad fanfic, well if this contradicts the point sorry Otaku, but I didnt find it to be that way. I think it was touching, and moving, and it made me think (didnt make me sad, but made me think. in my opinion, its better that way). You did a very nice job (emphasis on the very) of protraying Meryl's thoughts. Trying to make herself keep her 'buff' composure, and then showing through with her true love for Snake or...Dave. I applaud your skill, and yo did a fabulous job on your first song fic. Great job, Otaku Tess.

once again, you have impressed me, Tess. o_o marry me. D

... or not. but anyway. damn, this is good... perhaps you should do songfics more, hm? actually quite a good explanation for why Snake and Meryl broke it off... very in character too.

and Billy Joel kicks ass.

Ahhhh! *faints* You finally made something that didn't star Otacon? *faints again*

; Anywho, this was wonderful as always, gurlie. And I just loved the song you used, it fitting in perfectly. And I agree, I hate all the 'love at first sight so lets have sex' thing.

Keep it up! _

That was really good!
