This is gorgeous, you made the whole universe seem real (I loved that you wrote in present tense) and the characters were just there. And you may have made me cry just a little bit. Oy.

Sorry, I'm appalling at commenting, but I really just needed to say that I loved this

Pshh, judging by the huge grin on my face and the warm fuzzies feeling I've got going on, you are FANTASTIC at being the sweetest person ever, so there ♥

I'm so glad you liked this! I was honestly worried that people would read the summary and be completely turned off of it, so the fact that you took the time to read it alone means so much. And I'm glad you liked the universe! =)

Basically, you are amazingly sweet, and thank you so much for the kind words! ♥

OKAY. So, I read this for the first time on a beach. Which: OMG, first thing out of my mouth after the first few paragraphs was how ridiculous it was to be reading something so dark and intense while trying to avoid sunburn. But, damn, once I started I couldn't stop.

I have physical witnesses to the fact, too, since juniperlane and allthingsholy had to deal with my random fist-pumping and squealing throughout the entire story. It was just THAT intense and enthralling.

The universe is so fluid and real and powerful. There's that one image that haunts me, with Sheldon holding the gun after just having missed his first shot in... ever. I can visualize that so well, it's a damn shame I can't draw or take a mental snapshot because I assure it's beautiful and it's like the camera's just up and above the audience enough that when Penny drops down (my first legit "OMFG, YESSSSSS!" moment) you see just her silhouette at first and then it's just all epic and perfect. In fact the image of Sheldon throwing knives/shooting was just so hot and perfectly Sheldon in such

I squealed about your mix over at your post, but it bears repeating that it is FANTASTIC, and anyone who's not listening while reading is sorely missing out. I don't even know how you found such perfect music, but you are clearly beyond awesome

I'm not sure I can be articulate right now, because this was entirely mind blowing.

It was so *real.* Even in a different world, you kept the characters true to themselves. I don't think I can come up with any actual words to do your work justice. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I really loved Wil/Sheldon as well. The world needs more of that, in my opinion.

What stuck with me most and what I'll keep from this is the idea of people who have come through so much and are so damaged still having some kind of hope and coming to love each other deeply. That's the sort of thing that stays with a person.

[muir_wolf]

First, because it's important: I love Wil/Sheldon SO much ♥

Even in a different world, you kept the characters true to themselves. - I'm just going to grab you in a huge hug and never let you go, now, because that's honestly the best thing I could have heard about this AU. *snuggles you*

I know I did damage them, but I love that balance of friendship that they have, and I wanted to highlight that, so I'm glad you liked it! You really are far too sweet, but thank you so much! ♥

Today's word is: Amazing

[sa_4_geeks]

I just don't even know how to properly comment on something this amazing.

How you kept everyone in character in such an AU-verse is just (again)amazing. I was so intrigued when reading the summary about how the BBT world would fit into this AU scenario. Perfection. You have such an amazing way with words and characters.

I may or may not have done a fist pump when Denny got his comeuppance and swooned a bit when Wil kissed Sheldon and Penny.

[muir_wolf]

I loooove Wil, and he simply would not leave this fic alone. He just kept insisting on popping up here and there and there was no getting around the fact that he was going to kiss Sheldon and Penny. He was adamant ;) (I am aware I sound crazy)

You're so amazingly sweet, though! This AU-verse was freaking me out, no lie, so I'm glad it and the characters worked for you! ♥ Thank you so much bb! =)

I just finished (it took me a few days with work and all) and this was truly wonderful. I so admire your writing style and the way you bring the reader into this AU world so easily. I was completely immersed. I also love that the characters, as broken and altered as they were, were still themselves, and interacted with each other in both new and familiar ways. ♥

Fantastic job!

[muir_wolf]

Thank you so much! I was kinda freaking out before posting about the characterizations and the AU world, so it's such a relief to hear you liked them =) You are far too sweet, but I'm glad you liked it ♥
