Hehe, thank you very much. Yes, well it would have to happen eventually that one of them would become infected. And without giving too much away - there are quite a good deal more chapters coming.... plenty of time for more people to turn.

Thanks so much. More on the way in the next couple of days. <3

*WARNING This comment will be full of spastic rambling and shouting through captial letters*

Shit. Wow. I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT THE SECOND THE STUPID WHATEVER THE HELL IT WAS FELL IN HIS EYE!

That's what happened in 28 days later you know. Fuck, I KNEW he was going to be infected!! NOT BRIAN! NOO! Damnit. HOW IS IT GOING TO GET BETTER NOW????

But LORD this is SO FREAKING INTENSE. SO intense, I cant even...like WOAH. I can't even leave a coherent review. GOD. I hope they find Paul and George before Brian does! Jeez, I'm like actually scared now. CURSE YOU AND YOUR WRITING. GAH.

I don't know what's going to happen, and it's seriously killing me. BKLJDSLFJOIEWJF. That's all I can say. KLBJSLDKFJ.

...I don't think I've ever used that many capitals in anything I've ever written or reviewed. Hm.

OH, and once again, the characterization was just lovely. (I felt I should say something about the actual writing instead of just shouting at you) And you're right, high stress situations always make people realize how much they love each other. I find their reactions very canon, and I still love how little Ringo is able to hold it together somewhat better than everyone else. That really says a lot about him.

I love how you STILL somehow manage to get all that across to the readers while making this so incredibly intense. Hah, I bet Paulie won't hold off on John anymore eh? ;)

Hahaa! Well I got a good old laugh-out-loud out of that, so thanks!!

Yes, and all hail Richard Starkey! I figured he would probably be the calming influence in any kind of stressful situation, at least he seemed to be in real life.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback :)

[eleanorrigby_66]

I know right?? How will they cope without Brian??? And an un-coherent review is better than no review, love! In fact its great! I'm so glad it had that affect on you!! Even though you hate me for it ;)

Yes, poor Paulie and Georgie. They'll have to protect each other. That's assuming they've already managed to escape.

I never used to be a huge AU fan either, but was turned on to it by dooleynoted (have to give credit here!!). I think it works so long as their characters don't change... and thankfully you seem to think they haven't here, so PHEW! and thank you very much!

More on the way in the next couple of days!

A TRAP.

YOUR PICTURE HURTS MY HEAD.
GUUUH.

THE KID IS A CLONE, I SWEAR.
IT'S A TRAP.

Oh my Gawd.... whatever do you expect me to do with myslef now?????
That was so... so... INTENSE! And action-packed!! And you've STILL not told us what happened to Paul and George... and now THIS terrible bombshell! I can't believe Brian's infected!!

And I have to agree that as well as all the action, you've still SOMEHOW managed to keep all the emotion, and affection - and keep it all perfectly in character. And even though Paul and George didn't feature at all in this chapter, it still felt as though they were there - they were a big part of it.

But OH NO! They left Nel and Mal behind! And DEAR GOD, I hope they find the boys before Brian does. I am SOOOO SCARED! You always leave me terrified at the end of each of these chapters. I had a dream about this fic the other night by the way.

I loved...
“Wait, we need more….”
“We have PLENTY!”
“BUT PLEASE… HE’S SO SICK!”
“RINGO WE HAVE EVERYTHING! LET’S GO!”
“WHAT ABOUT CLOTHES???” Ringo cried
“WE DON’T NEED CLOTHES!”
“But… but he’s been sweating…he might need…” God, I love how Ringo

[eleanorrigby_66]

Hehe, thank you, I'm glad you liked it!!
I was actually planning on having an update on Paul/Georges situation first. That was the big plan. But then I realised it would be far more evil of me to keep the suspence going, and to NOT tell you where the hell they are!!

you've still SOMEHOW managed to keep all the emotion, and affection - and keep it all perfectly in character.
Whoo! Thank you! I'm so glad you think so. The whole point of me writing this story was not to focus on the action/gore but the relationships/loyalty. So I'm glad you think it's working.

Oh yeahhh, and Ringo will forever be caring and considerate no matter WHAT the situation!!

Oh god, I knew Brian was going to go first and make a f-ing confused and confusing Infected. It's his kind of fate. To take chances for the boys, run himself 'til his body can't take it and then be devoured from inside by his own insecurities (fueled by the infection). I suppose it's too much to hope he'll collapse in a heap in the woods and stay there until this madness somehow burns out of his brain? Of course it is. I am anticipating his next appearance with terror.

And Mal and Neil!!! NoOoOOO!

[eleanorrigby_66]

Yes, I didn't at first plan for these infected people to be run off insecurities, but that just sort of happened. That way they're not full-out crazy zombies... they're just driven by deeply-hidden anger that becomes incontrollable and extreme. And I think dear Brian always did feel on the outside of the Beatle-circle (as everybody was), but wanted to be RIGHT on the inside. I mean, I'm sure he was as close as anybody could ever get, but hey!
