I have just spent every available moment of the past few days reading this, and I really don't know what to do with myself now. This is an amazing, encompassing, passionate story, and it does what the best fanworks do - it completely enhances and deepens the original work. I've seen other comments say this, but I really can't help but imagine this as canon now. I've watched the movie since starting this, and I think the real power behind this is how real and in character everyone remains. It so easily (although I'm sure writing it was not always) fits with the canon we have now.

I think my favorite thing is how real it feels. Not just within its own world, but it feels like a completely plausible future reality for the world we have now, because despite the technological and astronomical advances, people remain the same. People still fear and fight and act like complete assholes - whether because they aren't ready emotionally for what it means to love (Jim) or because they just are (Howlett) - and that's the real connection this story creates.

You are amazing. Thank you for this.
