I can't say Ruby's reaction thrilled me in this chapter, not to say that what Michonne did was right, I was just hoping I don't know, for a different approach. Concerning your question about shipping, for a reason or another I totally wanna see some Merle/Michonne action.

Omgosh I'm sorry it's taken so long to let you know how much I loved this chapter
I kinda find it really interesting Ruby had a little conflict with Michonne's revenge, even though he's a horrible person, she at least still has a conscience about torturing someone. I know that's what goes down in the comics, but I'd definately be confused why Michonne wouldn't just kill the Governor, so I got a kick out of Merle's comment ahahaha. And I liked the conversation with Lori in particular, it's so adorable how you have Ruby embarrassed to talk about her love life hahah, no wonder she and Daryl are so compatible.
I'm so excited for the next chapter!

This was an amazing chapter but that cliff hanger, UGH! I really want to know what happens next! This chapter was shocking, but in a good way. What Michonne did to the Governor was awful but he definitely deserved it. The reactions of the group and Ruby were definitely justified. I absolutely love how Ruby and Daryl have been taking it slow and how Daryl is kept very much in character. I really like Merle and Ruby's conversations also, its nice to see that he truly does care about Ruby. I can't wait for the next update! Keep up the great writing! XOXO

I absolutely love your story. I love Daryl/Ruby. I just wish you would have some more description of characters, items, settings etc. I've been reading this story for months and I have no clue what Ruby is supposed to look like.

GAH I can't explain how much I am in love with your story! I found it two days ago and I've read it ALL as fast as I could haha but now I'm wishing I'd slowed down because I really can't wait for another update!
As for predictions - absolutely no idea what's going to happen! You always surprise me haha
Deaths - Please don't kill the children! I really think they can develop further. Andrea can go though- never really liked her that much. But apart from her, you've done a really good job in making sure everyone in the story is necessary and has their own little redeeming qualities haha :P Don't think I could part with them!
Relationships - Really loving the slow burn for Ruby and Daryl ;) While I can't wait for them to get together completely, it feels more satisfying and real to reaaalllly build up to it. I reckon Merle/Michonne should get together at some point... not anytime soon, but in the future haha what an odd pairing.
Your story and narrative elements are so well done- can't fault you for anything there. As for the technical side of things, there are a few spelling errors and word mix ups but nothing you can't fix :) I'm free as a beta if you ever need help :)
Really loving this story- thanks for the epic read so far!

This story is amazing, I cannot wait for more!

Good story. Great story. (v)

This story has been so breathtakingly amazing so far. This if my first time reading a Walking Dead fanfic and it is amazing. I am so glad I found it. The characters all seem to be acting in character and I love Ruby. She is such a real and relatable character. I can't wait to continue reading further. XOXO

Update soon please! THIS STORY IS AWESOME. And more Ruby/Daryl please :3

WOW! What an amazing chapter! - as usually, even though there's not much of Daryl&Ruby. I must say everyday I like her more. She's in an apocalyptic world where everything has gone to hell, even the ethic as she well knows, and she has seen lots of revolting thing, but every new hideous action could disgust her! She isn't naive, but little bit innocent, maybe? Though I like it, and I like her.
Well, I completly agree with Ruby's reaction, as you have said, it must be so difficult to look at your friend after knowing what she is capable of. But even so, Ruby tries to understand her due to their friendship, and that is what matter. It's pretty realistic, though nasty.
I still hope the coming people won't be the Governor, but Milton with frightened people, but maybe I must get the idea of the upcoming battle. They can't go to a battle without a little conversation between our favorite pair! May be you could make the Governor running away - and go back when no one expect. You know, keeping everyone tense. I would like no one will be killed, but it's true someone need be, as it's a war in an apocalyptic world. I really, really beg it won't be Daryl, Sophia or Merle, please, it will be overly harsh. I probably won't keep on reading if Daryl dies. Well, it is maybe a little exaggeration because the story is really gorgeous, but he can't die! No, he can't! And I suppose Ruby won't be killed, as she is the main protagonist and who tells the story, so it will be a dreadful end. I'm pretty fond of Lori in this fic - I think it's the only one, so I'd rather she will be stay safe, just like Rick.
I think that once I said that I'd like a Michonne/Merle, I can't explain why, but I think they pretty do a good pair, though they quarrel so much- might it's a good moment to kill Tyresse? But I don't know, I also like the relation between Tyresse and Michonne! And what's about Andrea and Sasha? I didn't like her death in the show, but you aren't giving her so much importance here, and Sasha... I barely know her. How difficult it's to choose! I fell sorry for you!
Well, you'll see what to do, I know it'll be a good choice! And I really hope so much read a new chapter soon, so update soon, please! And don't dare driving us into madness due to the nerves!

What a great story you've created, and I loved this chapter especially! I worked through this in the past week or two, and I was dreading running out of chapters. :) So I was extra happy when this turned out to be such a long one! I thought the torture scene with Michonne was really realistic and well-written. I really like the Merle/Michonne/Ruby dynamic. I really, really, really hope you don't kill off Merle! I so hated him at first in the TV show, but by the end of the series I felt like I understood him so much better. He's such a complex character. I really think they could have done so much with him. I love that he has such a presence in your story. I love the slow development of Ruby and Daryl's relationship. I also really like the Michonne/Tyreese pairing.

Very good update! In regards to what Michonne did I kinda feel like Ruby got over it pretty quickly, not that the governor didn't deserve what he got because he does completely but, because like you said, it would be hard to look at someone the same way again knowing they're capable of such torture and mutilation. And no matter how you wanna spin it I think that it definitely means Michonnes got some issues lol.
Next chapter somebody needs to die lol. I'm not evil and I like how you write everybody and I don't want anyone to die (I really don't) but I think it's time to see the cosequences of this post apocalyptic world and having tortured a psycho and let him live. Don't ask me who cuz like I said I love everybody and I don't want any of them to go. Though I kinda don't want it to be Andrea just because she's now gone on the show, and that makes me happy, but I'm kinda intrigued to see what you can do with her cuz I think she could be a cool character.
Romances? I got nothin lol, I just can't see any of these people who already aren't with anyone be with each other but who knows. Maybe you could bring in different characters *shrugs*. Whatever you do I can't wait to read it :)

I think the Governor got what he deserved but I think it was wrong of Michonne to put Ruby and herself in danger like that. I agree with the way Ruby acted. It'd be hard to stomach your friend doing that even though it was deserved. I don't know if I'm reading into it but it seems like Merle may be a little bothered, dare I say jealous of Tyreese. Anyway great chapter definitely looking forward to an update soon (:

Ruby's reaction to the actions Michonne more than plausible. So it should be.
If Michonne has decided to take revenge and began to do so, she had to make it to the end and kill the governor.
With Michonne is not all right, it's already clear.
Governor may have to go with revenge, I doubt that he is able to do this now, he was seriously injured?

sophia/carl it be cute and we see daryl and ruby awkwardly trying to give sophia the talk XD aka i don't think the gov have lived it only takes a man when his dick cute off 4 mins to go into shock and then be beond help thou he have lived and felt the pain for another 3 mins
