*claps* yaaay! That was loads of fun! I would say that if the Hollywood media didn't take such a squeamish postion on two men in a romantic setting, that this would have made a damn good sequel! I was entertained from the beginnig, and sucked into the story really fast! And may I say, you have a great way of writing the sex scenes, very visceral and natural :D

As this was my second Riddick/Vaako fic reading, may I say that I haven't been let down yet, this was just as wonderful as the last fic I read!

Thank you and you did an absolutely wonderful job!!!

Brilliant. Nicely written with a good balance of romance and action. The characters were ... in character! I loved your idea to go back to Furya and the Phantoms. You've outdone Mr. Twohy quite well.

This was a great story!!!
I loved your way of perceiving Riddick's heritage and the 'Furyia' race.
My first time reading a Riddick slash story and I was so completely
impressed. =]

WOW!!!! I really really liked this story....it was very cool how you closed the story dealing with the Furyans and Necromongers finding their own planet and the whole underverse deal being a lie.....once again wow....

I found your story fascinating for a number of reasons. 1. You framed Riddick's personality in such a way that there would be no question that he would choose Vaako in the first place. (I would say there would be some doubt in people's minds who abhor slash. ME? I enjoyed it.) 2. You did not spend a lot of time in Riddick's head trying to figure out what he was thinking and why he was thinking what he was thinking. (I realize most of the story was from Vaako's POV but a lot of writers devote endless space to that. I wondered how Riddick drifted from lack of trust to swallowing Vaako whole but it wasn't enough to distract me.) 3. I didn't know how the story would change from minute to a next. (I thought it was a nice touch that the Queen Mother thought she was helping Riddick to his destiny by dismissing Vaako only to find later that she took the prophecy too literally.)

I hesitate to mention what I wasn't feeling in the story but I will...once you had me committed lock, stock and barrel to your story line why not tell me the reader about the internal sturggles which were taking place across the Necromonger Fleet. Surely Vaako, no matter how loyal and how submissive to Riddick Vaako became, would take apart the society piece by piece remaking it in his image. He would not leave that detail amiss especially since Riddick was shaking up their order.

I have met enough gay, bisexual, and men of an undeclared sexuality to know that their sexuality drives them to be just as dominant in their professional roles as men who sleep with women. Their careers would not a take back seat to being the top of their field. While he was away from Riddick or even while he was with him, he would have had to angle in different ways to keep other from attacking Riddick while Riddick explored Furya..

Dame Vaako and others were far too treacherous for them not to be at Riddick's throat.

I think I like your story as well I did because you took a position and kept moving forward in it.

Absolutely lovely. I enjoyed the conflicts between Riddick's past and expected duties, and his own expectations. Your Vaako was yummy, or certainly sounded it, and I think you nailed him with his dedication to his perceived responsibilities. The pace seemed to rush towards the end, but fourteen chapters just seemed too short when there is so little good fiction for this movie.
