(okay so I copied and pasted this because ff wouldn't let me submit two reviews in one chapter and like? I want to keep expressing my thoughts? lmaooo)

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD you're the one who wrote Snow Angel? It seems to stupid that I didn't notice it now, but I was reading the Promise Outline (because I really did want to learn more about this story!) and then I was reading a basic summarization of that story with Rei and the one GUN soldier that ended up being nice to Shadow and Maria and it was just so mind blowing! No wonder I loved this story so much, and it just makes things so much sadder to see that in most of the scenarios you've thought up Shadow usually ends up alone and trying to live through a world he's never belonged in without Maria. :')))) Now I'm more pumped to see what you have in store for this fic!

This is amazinggggg oh my god I couldn't stop reading this chapter! I felt my heart rise every time there was a moment where Maria was somehow able to show herself to Shadow/move objects without knowing it and I just can't wait to see if she'll be "alive" somehow? Ahhhh I just loved this chapter dude 3 Keep up the good work!

Aaagh I was so happy to see a new chapter! Of course, let me take that back a bit, if you aren't feeling up to writing it sometime, I totally get that too. Don't force yourself to write things, it makes them feel less real.
However, I did like this chapter. The last parts especially. The fact that his memories lack so much, and yet are so twisted from the truth. And I feel Maria's pain in being unable to help him, unable to know his thoughts.

It WAS a very long chapter, but I really enjoyed reading it. The moment finally came- and I was on the edge of my seat for that moment when it was a possibility Maria wouldn't make it with them.
It was excellent.

god it's been a while and i just love what you did with the plot like

shadow at the beginning of the chapter and how gun was planning to use him? thats brilliant. like if he escaped they would put bombs in him if he disobeyed but HAH gerald destroyed that plan and it's just really fucking smart and i admire it so much

(also, the line "somewhere in the afterlife, gerald was probably laughing" made me choke on my own laughter aljksdljkfdSSFKJLD)

i love how this story is following sa2 with maria being involved somewhat like HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i was almost yelling at my screen because shes WITH SHADOW AGAIN but shes also NOT and its just ripping out my emotions at this point

i love how you write to make the reader feel tension. gerald stabbing the innocent scientist? i almost yelled. maria being conflicted over shadow killing the gun soldiers because for fuck's sake they're just people with families? it was heartbreakingly realistic and made this story feel more real

you're doing amazing! keep going!

Wow. This took my breath away. So hauntingly beautiful, I adore it so much. Your characters seem so real. Definitely one of my favorites on this site.

God I love how haunting this story is. There’s something melancholy and bittersweet about how you wrote it. Maybe it’s because of how Christian grows up throughout the course of the story which gives me this sense of time and my own fear of age, and of how long Shadow was alone in that capsule. It gives me a sense of anxiety. And the fact that when he meets Maria again he just says, “I need to take those meds again” it just breaks my heart. Also the ending with her waiting? Leaves me wanting more. I love this story, and it hurts to read it again because it hits me. Keep writing!

By far you are my favourite writer and I’m not just talking about fanfic writers. The way you can make characters seem real impresses me. The personalities you create are fleshed out and are relatable. I hope you know how skilled you are and hey, if you end up writing a story that can be made into a book and sold (cough cough changing your impossible sky story so it doesn’t feature spyro) I’m certain it will be a best seller!
Thank you for your time.

Promising. I cannot wait for the next chapter though.

Wow, I read it. I did something. I'm surprised. XD

To be honest, there's not too much to say for me. I would endlessly gush about how much I love your writing style and how descriptive it is, but I've probably done that before on some occasion. It's more of the same stuff I enjoy. Maria is still cool too; I really feel sorry for her and what she has to live with (or is she living with it because she's... kinda dead) now. If we're being real, I'm not sure I'd like to pace around endlessly after I pass away. I think I'd just want it to be peaceful and stuff. :P

But hey, if we're being honest about how next chapter will turn out, it'll probably be good, even if it is somewhat different to this one. I've come to expect great things from you... No pressure.

Oh well. Yeah, good chapter and shit. I'm going to bed now. XD

This is one of the most interesting stories I've seen in a long time. I can't wait for the next chapter, this is amazing. You're a great writer.

Oh my GOD that was amazing I'm so happy this story is underway! I agree with Saltwater, take your time on this. As always Toodles, beautifully written and I look forward to more!

I'm happy to see this story up! I loved it so far, and I can't wait to see more. But take your time.
The past story of this still has so many memories for me. I remember a lot of lines from it specifically. I love how some of those things are continued here.
