I think this is one of my favourite stories I've yet to see! I wonder, will you write more about Big Boss/ Ocelot? They are my favourite pairing and,- seeing this- I'm certain that I will enjoy anything you write about them. (As long as you don't go out of character, or make it unusually kinky, or make it not emotional and/or romantic.... I'm sort of picky that way.)

Either ways, I stand by my comment saying that this was quite fantastic! A very intelligent-sounding, well-written fanfiction, if I do say so myself.

Oh goodness, you're so kind! Thank you very much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
I actually have quite a few Big Boss/Ocelot stories in various states of completion, it's the finishing that gets tricky (I keep getting distracted with new plot bunnies). But yes, there will be more stories! :)

I hope so! I exspect good things from you.

I have one question, and a slight critcism I didn't think of after reading this the first time.

I am having trouble imagining the area in which this is all taking place. I don't believe I've ever come across a glassed-in balcony, and what I imagined would be difficult for Mantis to maneuver on. I suppose my question would be to ask what you mean "exactly".

The slight critcism is that for some reason, I sort of wished you dwelled on Mantis recognizing Big Boss more, or mentioned it later. I don't know exactly how you could've worked it in to the story, but I enjoy the concept.

Anyways, again, I really enjoyed this, and I look forward to reading anything else from you!

Oh man, I'm so sorry for not replying O_O;; I'm not on LJ very much anymore. Good thing I was feeling nostalgic, huh?

Question: I'm not sure if such a place was actually in Shadow Moses, in retrospect, but I think I just made up the balcony. It also seemed to me to be foolish to have an open balcony in Alaska. So I guess in practice it's more like a sunroom? Like a viewing platform rather than an actual balcony. I hope that makes sense!

Criticism: Yeah, even I admit I totally dropped the ball on that one. I think I had some idea for a semi-sequel with Mantis going through what he knows now about Ocelot and Big Boss and what that means for the mission, but I don't think I ever ended up writing it. Maybe I will, now that you've reminded me! I'd sure like to revisit this, I have similar reservations to you about the way Mantis ended up reacting.

Thanks again, and sorry again for the ridiculous delay in replying!

And now it's my turn to be late with replies! I rarely check my e-mails, so... yeah, I was a bit late for this.

If you did do a sequel, or anything even vaguely related, I think that would be great! While I've always been awfully stunted as a fanfiction writer - you, my friend, are really damn good at it. And while I don't know what else you write, I just feel that you are a good writer in general.
I don't have much else to say, but I'll try to check this stuff more often, just in case.
