Wow... That was really amazing. I always enjoy your writing and this was no exception. I'm only on like 4x10 or 4x11 so I don't know what more is going to be revealed about Richard but he really is such an intriguing character. I had a feeling there was something special about him but then to see that he looks exactly the same as he did when Locke was born... Hell, just the fact that we see he was looking for Locke that long ago... I cannot wait to see what that's all about!

And Alex =[ Damn it, I really liked her =[ I actually felt for Ben when the guy was holding the gun to her head. It doesn't matter if he's a good guy or a bad guy, or even both, he obviously really did love her like his own flesh and blood & to have to watch her be killed... *teary eyes*

Doubters purged, buried in caverns. Believers march on, souls of the departed tallied on their shoulders. Tears on shallow graves swallowed by afternoon downpours.

This is perfection!

The direct and to the point style of the fic meshes perfectly with memory and how it can hit you from nowhere and never softens the blow.

I love your use of Richards faith and how it builds an extra dimension to the character. It is certainly not something I considered Richard to be in the past but it makes perfect sense, I'm just left feeling ashamed I didn't see it before.

There is far too much in this fic i adore so I shall just conclude by saying thanks for sharing! ♥

Very, very good!

I love the structure and the round and round and round concept - but most of all I like the tie-in with the bodies in the caves from S1.

Great work, thank you for sharing!
