Reading this story, it's almost a good thing the Combine put up that Suppression thing, it would be horrible for kids to be born into that kind of world, and it would be hard for them to grow up. Granted there would be babies born before the Black Mesa incident who would only know of a world controlled by the Combine, which is depressing to think about.

I like this Johnson fellow, and I like the story. Nice job. :)

Beautiful Story.

I wish there were more Half Life 2 fic like this one.

Thank You for writting this.

Brilliantly written-everyone's in character, the plot is great, and it definitely feels like City 17. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Very good. Not something you read everyday. Although I do have to ask if you could make a sequal to this telling us what happens to Johnson.

Very good.

That was a sweet touching story, Avaya was really cute! :D

Loved this. Touching story, and not many errors as far as canon is concerned. I don't think having a child under the Combine is out of the question; it's entirely possible Avaya was conceived outside of the cities.

Anyway, good stuff. It's always fun seeing the gentler side of faceless villains.

I cried. That was gorgeous. Nevermind the fact that there are no children that far into the combine regime.

The writing is flawless, and the story is incredibly touching. I love it when the combine regain their humanity

i really liked and it was funny the comment of barney on theend lol4

but great story

thanks for writing

chris

Great story, loved the ending. Ah, Half-Life memories. God damn it Episode 2 hurry the hell up! But anyways, good job, little issue with the whole Combine suppression field, but otherwise quite good. You should include Johnson in future stories.

Very good need to write a follow up

Short but story,a little error,the suppersion field on the Nexus in city 17 kills sperm and destroys incubulaters of females resulting in no children.I think there is a HAlo crossover to with Seargeant Johnson lol

Make more chapters great story

Ahh, that was beautifull. This would be a really good series, if would certinally patrion it if you did.

Deffinitly a good story tho.

That was an excellent story.

Excellent story.

I thought it was a sweet story. As for the suppression field, there are probably ways around that, like hidden settlements away from combine cities maybe?
