Aaaand that was quite creepy. Thank you for pointing out just why we can't sympathize with Edward Cullen.

Oh, thanks. I really didn't think it was that good. I'm so glad I managed to make it creepy enough to point out everything that's wrong with Edward's brand of vigilantism

Thanks you! I'm so glad you liked it. I was really unsure about this, so I'm glad you think it's good.

Dammit, you've destroyed my little fantasy where Edward really does only kill the worst people ever. Obviously that's still not OK, but it was better than imagining him killing indiscriminately. I guess the bit of my brain that tries to prevent brain-melting-syndrome had made me overlook that this is EDWARD making the judgements on who 'deserves' to die *brain melts*

Awww, I'm sorry for that.

But he really isn't killing indiscriminately here. Each and every one of my characters here had done something that canon!Edward didn't approve of. I didn't know if I managed to convey that or not, though, but the point is, given his canon personality, he actually WOULD consider these people to be sinners and a menace to society.

That didn't quite come across... Great story, but what did each of them do that Edward locked on to them for?

I'm sorry, I realise that the story might be on the vague side. Basically, Daniel drank while underaged (and during the Prohibition, no less), so that's what he did. Jonathan was a businessman, and, well, you pretty much had to do at least a few shady things to get really successful. The old man in the third section didn't actually do anything wrong, but he had a mental illness, so Edward considered him a threat to society. And the last girl was killed because her skirt was too short (and she was flaunting her sexuality, in Edward's eyes).

Edward was channelling Light Yagami there towards the end. Was that exactly as planned?

The idea of someone like Wardo judging people is insanly scary, and you did a very good of bringing that accross.

XD I'm glad you noticed the Death Note references. Really, they're pretty much obligatory in a story like this.

and yes, I agree. Given that he was killing the people HE considered to be sinful and evil...well, there's bound to be a lot of bias, and we've seen what insane morals canon!Edward has...

Vigilante!Edward has always struck me as a very Lightish type. I actually heard those last few lines being said in Mamoru Miyano's voice!

Well, most vigilantes who participate in murder remind me of Light, but I agree, Edward's self-righteousness is very uncanny.

XDD I did that too! Edward totally has the exact same voice as Light in my head.

XD I'm glad I managed that. What do you say is the creepiest part?

I don't want to look like a whore, but I'd really like to know what I did right.
