just have to say that i thought the first few chapters rocked, because it gave us a pretty nice idea of who NIKOLAI is, and that is the whole purpose of first-person pov, in my opinion: to build a "closer relationship" with the narrator. besides that, as you said, characters progress over time; you don't notice RIGHT AWAY what kind of problems nikolai has. there would be no point to the story almost if you just came right out about the characters. and i know i'm totally late with that, but i wanted to comment.

i can't believe i didn't read this before, when it was first sent into my inbox...heh. oops. anyways, i read it now, and i about died laughing for quite a bit of it. desya is a skunk, really...*cracks up*

at least he can play nikolai without actually using as much effort as you'd think. big skunk, but that's what we love about him! adorable fucktard, yes.

and he's probably just shot himself, no?

More, more more! :3

Wow, I didn't think Desya had it in him!

That was an awesome chapter.

Revenge is sweet!

Update soon! I promise to read on time... :]

Yay for Desya pointing a gun at Isaak!

I like this chapter title. _

I hate Isaak.

Nikolai married? Can't picture it.

Another great chapter...

I can't wait for the next..

Kolya on the drugs is really quite emotional isn't he?

I like it though. It's a real change of pace for him.

[tears]

Kostya can't be dead... Pasha needs him...

Desya's mother turning up is really random though... wonder what her role is?

haha this was hysterical! OH-MY-GOD. haha!

xD Leone is great... The Star Wars and the blueprints.

Chinchillas are adorable. I want one.

Haha. Desya turned into a sex kitten. XD

If I were a hitman, I would have business cards.

xo

Aw it makes me laugh but at the same time. Its pretty upsetting how drastic...in a way Desya was willing to go for Nikoli, But i guess thats how much of an effect of change Nikoli had on the poor boy So Excilent job. Please keep up the work

Ha ha I love Leone! I loved the whole 'Blueprint' fiasco; it was pure brilliance. I was also all "FIORE!" then realised she said about one line. The Mona Lisa rant also highly amused me. As for the Chinchilla (I always thought they were dogs lol), I am curious about what it will be used for! I was surprised at Desya screwing Nikolai over... but not disappointed. I do wonder what Sevastyan's opinion on this will be!

Fave Line: “No, no, he’s never that neat. Sledgehammers are favored.” (Gold)(Zaq!)

Just started reading this story but I gotta say I really like it!

Leo. Seriously you have a sick humour to write someone like him. Best chapter ever

/sorry for the crappy review. But hey it's one nonetheless.
