Wow...just...wow. That was fantastic writing! Probably one of my favorites I have read. I honestly was dreading reaching the end and hoped desperately to see the option for more chapters at the end. :) Literally the ONLY thing that I would have changed is the use of the f word after the gun practice. Only because the rest of the story is truly so eloquently written that when I read that it was almost like a splash of cold water on the face and seemed so much different than the rest of the writing. But hey...it's your story! And a fantastic one it is! Thanks for sharing it! :)

I think it is a very good story!

This is wonderful!

Wow ... just wow. So excited to be the first one to review this amazing gem of a story! Like I've got "dibs" on it! :-)
I've read this story three times so far and I can't get enough of it. By far the best "Taken" story on this or any of the fanfiction boards I've ever read. I mean that. This is amazing writing. I usually don't gush like this, but I can't help it. I'm a huge fan of this franchise and you've written all of them spot on. No one's out of character the least bit, which is usually the biggest criticism I have for a story. You've absolutely nailed each of these people so perfectly, I can hear their voices throughout the story. I love how tentative and uncertain you wrote Lennie and Bryan's relationship especially and how gradually they're finding their way back to each other. All three characters are wounded, all three will have permanent scars from their experiences, but - most importantly - all three can heal and move forward from their wounds and be stronger for it. Love it. I just love it. Completely realistic given who they are and how they've been presented to us in the films.
I'm in complete agreement with your Author's Note preface - Lenore deserved better writers and in the capables hands of Famke Janssen, they really owed her more screen time and a better script. Thank you so much for fleshing her out and giving her a voice. She deserves it. Also, her complicated, tumultuous, but ultimately enduring relationship with Bryan was finally given its due and both characters were better served for it. Even Kim and the damage she suffers gets explored here, too. I loved how perceptive she is in discerning the orange juice and the newspaper. Smart girl and it's something she'd absolutely have done.
Please continue on with this story or write a new one regarding these three. You obviously have great affection for them to write them so brilliantly. They're safe in your hands.
Many, many thanks for sharing your talents! I'm so glad I found your story - you've made my day much happier for it.
I truly look forward to more of your work. Take care.
