Wow. Just finished reading this monster and it is bloody amazing. I have no idea how you can write/plan/create such an intricate and absorbing story. The level of detail on all manner of subjects is stunning. If it was a book, I wouldn’t have been able to put it down. As it was, my phone was permanently in my hand. So nervous that Matty was actually grounding Mac and he was done.

Don’t know what I’m going to do now. I have that sense of bereft when you finish a really good book!

Wow. What a chapter. I love your writing. I’ve been glued to Turkey Day and now this fic. Can’t wait to read the rest of this story. Hope you write more Mac adventures/whump!

So I’m rereading this for the *cough* time and just noticed the. ‘Coming home after being hit by a car’ part! If you haven’t written it yet (I don’t think so, but I could be wrong) you NEED to, lol! I need some more of your stories in my life!

I spent about the last 48 hours reading this story from start to finish. I pretty much haven't moved that entire time (in fact I just sat up straighter and my whole body protested) I wish I had the words to tell you how amazing and agonizing this story was. Absolutely incredible. I sobbed for about 6 solid hours yesterday as I was reading, I cannot imagine how it felt to write some of those scenes, especially as Bozer has to make that decision for Mac and the team saying goodbye. I loved the in depth focus on healing and recovery.
I was so stressed I was shaking to the point where I couldn't even read or focus during the scenes when Mac tricked Riley into getting off the boat, and then was pinned to the wall.

Thank you so much for writing this story. I am in the most incredible post fic haze right now. This story was amazing, incredible and I don't have enough superlatives to tell you how much I adored it.

Finally finished this fic. I LOVE Mina even more than Baby Yoda. I would love to read a story about her. Oh yeah, and Mac. I'm glad he's back in the team. I loved how you had Matty make him argue himself back into the field.

Thanks for reminding me why I like macgyver so much. I haven’t watched since mid season 3 but stories like these remind me of how much I love the characters... it’s better then the tv show

Great read! Glad you stuck with it!

Oh man! It has ended! It HAS ENDED! frowning...

No, Thank you!

What an amazing monster you created! Actually, a family of realistic monsters! *smiles*

This particular one started serious ( still interwoven with humor), followed by many intense action scenes, then lots of heart broken and tear jerking scenes, many surprises and twists, and ended with a sweet and delicate scene that made me grin, smile, and raise my drink to cheers back!

Love the Harry Potter references and how Paully the Owl brought Mina to them. Hahah. What a great way to introduce a new fury member of the team. Ingenious! Also, when Mac was recovering, a kitten accompanied him to help him heal and calm down, now it is his turn to help a kitten recover. It is a full circle! A life message.

So how Dr. S. manipulated the team is the parachute for Mac!

Matty’s questioning with Mac was intense! She is amazing! YOU captured her so well! Depicted their verbal sparring well! I don’t think I can defend myself this well.

Because this story is so grand, ALL the OCs (humans and animals) are needed. You also did a fabulous job of writing from each character’s view point.

You have written vast, intricate, interconnected, informative, realistic, emotional, exciting, complex, funny, and nostalgic stories. I feel I am watching a Macgyver movie or trilogy! I am running out of words to praise your monsters without repeating myself! Well, I have limited vocabularies too.

Nonetheless, THANK YOU for making me ponder, wonder, worry, cry, smile, grin, anticipate, laugh out loud, giggle, google ideas and words, etc. I learned much observing your fantastic, profound, and colorful monsters. I marvel at them AND at you!

Cheers to you, Dr. Haven. (of Google, medicine, and psychology)

Look forward to Saito and Mac story!

This has been an incredible journey from the start, turkey day, through now. This chapter and as the end has been as amazing and deeply satisfying as the others. It makes me feel so nostalgic. I am so sad that it’s ending but so in awe of the perfect ending. Thank you for bringing us these gem of stories. I can’t imagine all the work that has gone into these. I can only thank you for sharing them. I would be interested to know of anything else you do write ().

It has been wonderful and a privilege.

Hey there:) I am finally logged in and therefore can give you a non-anonymous review! In short: I loved this! In slightly more eloquent form: I loved this so, so much! Like, this series is probably one of the best-written, best-plotted and most true to the characters story that I have ever read and I am in awe of your attention to detail and your commitment to doing all plot lines and characters justice. You should absolutely write original fiction and then let me know where to find it, cause I would be buying the hell out of it. Thank you for bringing this gem to life and making my day brighter with each new chapter notification, it was truly appreciated!

Wow, I can hardly believe that this monster is finished. I want you to know that I enjoyed each and every single word of it! You have such great talent, it's incredible!

I love your characters, your OC's as well as the guys we knew from the show. Everyone felt 100% natural and believable. Especially your portrayal of Matty knocked me off my feet, it was so amazing! She's probably my favorite character on the show anyway, but in this I loved her even more.

Another thing I ADORE is your almost obsessive dedication to details. When I'm reading your descriptions, I can see the scenes play out in my head. It's awesome how you manage to walk the fine line between too little and too much information. It never gets dull.

Oh, and the ending is just perfect! I was secretly hoping that Mac would somehow adopt Metrodora (sp?), but this was even better! Having Mina delivered by owl... OMG, I died and went to heaven! *hearteyes*

Wow, I can’t believe this masterpiece is finished! What am I going to look forward to now? Lol. What a perfect ending to a truly amazing story. Matty is such a master manipulator, and it was great seeing Dr. Parsons again! And that kitten, so adorable sounding I just want to squish it! Thank you for an awesome story, I’m looking forward to whatever you have in store for us next!

Amazing ending to an amazing and so well thought out and masterfully written story! Thank you for all the effort and can’t wait to see what you put out next!

Thanks so much for this extra long chapter, and extra long story! You had some big events happening throughout, almost like 3 stories in the story. Loved it. You write very well about the psychological thoughts and feelings of the characters, especially Mac. Thanks for writing!

I was gonna say "Thanks" when I read that scene, but now I have to pick my jaw off the floor. I really did enjoy this. I'm glad he got a kitten.
