Wow. Intense. A.

I must say this was very well done. You have a way to make me feel terrible reading your work. That isn't a bad thing, you are bringing the same emotions I got when I watched the show. While I'm not a fan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you used it really well when added into your story. While you did make everything that happened seem completely in character, this felt like one drawn out Revy beating. While when she was younger, it made sense, but sometimes it got a little out of character. Nicely done with Rock and his reactions. My other complaint was breaking one of the rules of creating a backstory. Avoid having your character's pasts intermingle, unless already stated that they have some. This backstory would have changed how the Greenback Jane Arc turned out. You did, however, wrap up everything nicely and you should keep writing. You can improve and do great things.

This. Story. Was. BEAUTIFUL! I mean, the first three chapters where just phenomenal on their own, but everything that followed was was worthy of Rei Hiroe himself! I love how you're able to play off of the events of of Black Lagoon so perfectly and so believably...I'm legitimately in awe of this fic!

If I didn't already have a man crush on Revy, Sawyer would be be my new favorite!

I think you need to add a copyright thing for the texas chainsaw massacre. Cause clearly that's what's going on here.

wonderful story to the two of you. The way each character is written really fit the city of the dead where none are innocent and all are guilty with no one deserving to live.

It like watching a movie that really shake your life view. awesome work please keep it up.

The only thing i dislike is the fact that i did not not read the fine print now i have to read gun punk and eastern jewel for some of the history and name drop in reference.

This was awesome. Especially the end scene. The story throughout is well paced and there isn’t a dull point anywhere. Superbly done.

P.S. I am kinda curious about Sawyer’s mother, but on the other hand I guess I really don’t want to know how Leatherface ended up fathering a child.

The horror in this story is great. The misery, depression and the violence feels like very authentic Roanapur. Really good job.

Holy excrement that is a scary home. "Yes, she felt at ease here" really got to me. This is a very good chapter.

A very cute ending, I must say, especially for the limousine part

The resolution is quite befitting, though Gaavrila's end was a bit haunting.

It is an introspective tale, in my opinion, as the story, happening in the present, is a frequent reminder of Revy's past; and the history between Two-Hands and the Cleaner.

Btw, Chapter 9's scene in the Garden of Hell is the most entertaining, for me :P

I said that I would provide specific feedback about the ending chapters, and I am nothing if not honorable. Plus, what is up with the serious review stinginess in this fandom?

So grab a cupcake and put your feet up because this may take awhile.

I dislike neat bows on shiny boxes, so the ending did a decent good of wrapping things up without getting saccharine. And, boy howdy, there was certainly no shortage of characters to mention in the denouement. Good freakin' night. It's a small wonder that I was able to remember them all by the end.

Although that whole life-is-punishment-enough thing that Sawyer laid down on Revy is, well, kinda lame because, jeez, it's been done so much, I didn't mind it this time because you wrapped it into Revy's fear of being abandoned. The juxtaposition of her need to kill and her need for Rock's approval sums up the crux of Revy as a character, IMAO.

Funnily, I enjoyed the depiction of Benny most of all in these last two chapters. Maybe it was because he was so minor that you didn't think too hard about his every move, but he just shined in the simple strokes he was allotted. Dutch and Balalaika also made notable showings in the last bit. I loved the mention that Dutch looked great in his suit. I always think of him as a scholar-warrior, so perhaps I am just gleeful that someone else gave my theory credence.

I also enjoyed the Alamo reference made by Revy. It was nice to get back to Texas again and, given the sense of impending massacre, it added a well-timed chuckle to the tale to boot.

In all, the story finished on a high point. I have to be honest and say that I was worried that it would just fall apart because the middle got so squishy, but you both pulled it off. Even your night/day styles started to work in tandem by the last chapters.

I don't think that "Bloodlust" as a whole represents either of your best work, but *parts* of this story were straight-out wonderful. I also applaud the team effort because it's terribly difficult to execute without (a) murdering your writing partner or (b) sacrificing the story's vitality in compromise.

Nice. Awesome story, truly. The two of you combined are a power-house the likes of which is not to be trifled with.

Seriously, awesome ending to an awesome story.

Satisfying ending and neat work with verb choice in these last two chapters. I would have liked some resolution on Revy's drug use and relationship with Rock, but that's okay. I'm writing my own anyway.

ah, a great story. I'd say this is the best BL fanfic on this site right now. The both of you should work again together sometime.

Anything with an offensively-used bulldozer gets an A in my book.

Really, very good chapter.

Wow, that's a lot of action in one chapter and a lot of characters to balance and track! Admirable work. The showdown that we all have been waiting for (Revy vs. Sawyer the Cleaner) ended ambigously, but maybe it's not over yet...?

Excellent work creating parallels with the flashbacks. It was fun to see you switch between the non-canon story of Jasmin from the earlier chapters and the canon scene from the Japanese bowling alley. That's definite pro to Revy's drug addiction from a storyteller's persepective. You can do that sort of thing fluidly.

Final note: Poor Wheelie. I had a feeling that she would be taking a dirt nap. Some characters just can't get a break in their sad little lives.
