What a long, strange, but oh-so-worth-it, trip it has been. It is very rare that I read literature, even published books, that has such emotional intensity as this. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. It was a pleasure to read, and the closure was just as satisfying. Even when it was heartbreaking to read, it was still excellent.
I tip my hat to you, talented authoress, and look forward to anything else you write in the future.

Simply wonderful! I am sorry to see the end of the road but it was one heck of a ride! I adore how you show such details and emotions in this story. i'm rooting for the second ending you hint at simply to prolong my love of this journey.

Thank you so very much for this fic- there are some fics that I've read that set the standards for whatever pairing I'm reading about, but I think this one in particular has set the standard for my fic reading in general. Even when I've had to struggle through a few clumsy choices, it made up for it almost immediately. There hasn't been a fic to date that I've come back to read over and over again as much as this one, even with it's length.
This story is a solid performer and I would say it's near perfect in execution- your writing is of high technical quality and I thoroughly enjoyed the characterizations of two of my favorite TF:A characters.
This definitely will be a fic that I recommend others to read, and if they are daunted by the length, well, I'll beat the slag out of them and make sure they understand that it's damned well worth the read.

And what a ride it has been...! Glorious. Though I might have missed a chapter with the updates-en-masse. (excuse to read again? *innocent look*)

Primus... I can't believe I've blown through a full 63 chapters in only a few days... How could they do something so horrible to those sweet little twins...? I mean... Prumis... Those poor kids... Slag... Getting teary eyed again... Change of subject again I think...
Hmm... I know there was something... OH! About Lockdown's weight! Or... Any of the other bots for that matter. You've seriously got them under weight. I don't know exactly how much each of them weigh, but I know that Optimus Prime weighs in at 35-40 tons. XD These guys are not lightweights to say the least. Took me a while to dig up that number too! Alright, enough with the nit picking on technical things!
The story if fantastic so far I think and my spar...Er... Heart... is clenching for poor tortured Lockdown already! You know that he's been tearing himself apart, wondering if Prowl got away, wondering if he was okay, jerking at the uncomfortable feelings that plagued his spark and only taking comfort in them because they assured him that his Prowl was still online. Poor grumpy ol' bot must be at his wits end with worry, all while being tormented inside the Autobot stockade... He's come so far emotionally and now this! What's more, not the lie he was so painstakingly trying to hide from his beloved has come out so he'd going to have to handle the heat from that too assuming they get out of the place in one peace... O! Now I'm ranting... Please forgive me for that...
I truly look forward to seeing how this progresses. You're style of writing is wonderful and inspires me to pick my writing back up and continue my own fics. Who knows, I might try my hand at TFA too! Also... I fully intend to do some fanart for you once I get the chance! I hope you like it...
Anyway, look forward to more!

Oh man, I don't even know what to say about this story. The whole thing is just constantly nerve-wracking. ^^; So much emotional turmoil, and people we don't know if we can trust. You never really know how people are going to react in this sort of situation, especially poor Prowl. Who will he believe? I hope he at least gets to hear Lockdown's side of the story, although I'm afraid that seems unlikely when they're both prisoners.
Hrm, well. Thanks for updating! I was really curious about what was going to happen. I guess I'll get on to the next chapter now.

Ah, just as "Odd Couple" becomes happy, "Partners" becomes more dramatic XD I feel so sorry for Jazz in this. I wouldn't wish Sentinel Prime on anyone, haha! And the poor jet twins...the Autobot high ups are such jerks. I'm excited to see what happens next!

F-oh God. I...oh God.
I've been following this story for months. I never reviewed because...well, I dunno. Mostly because I read it all at school, and I COULDN'T review from there. And I was afraid my review would be lost amongst the 600+ you've currently amassed.
But still, I've been following this story for months. And, honestly, I had my own little fit of joy when I saw that you'd FINALLY updated. I love this story more than Odd Moments or Odd Couple. It's so much deeper, () so much more...personal? I guess that's what I'm aiming for. Sixty-three chapters has allowed for readers to get painfully, almost inappropriately, close to Lockdown and Prowl.
I love the twins. And I cried when I read that their personalities had been wiped. I cried fat tears of sorrow.
But it's so BELIEVABLE. Everything about this story is completely believable. You write war and hardship painfully well; I love it. I can almost believe that this all totally happened in real life and you're only recording it. Almost.
Poor Anicon. What will become of him?
I love your OCs just as much as I love the canon characters. They're well-rounded and not...retarded. Not all "LOL I get my way always and forever because I'm an OC! =D". Wonderful job on them. -thumbs up-
I also love how deeply you portrayed Jazz's sorrow. Again, this goes back to the previous "you write war and hardship painfully well" statement. IT'S SO SWEET, BUT SO BITTER.
By the way, your plots are fantastic. You rock my socks.
I want to say more, to praise you and this story until the world explodes, but...I feel like I can't put into words how much I love it. And I'm terribly sorry I didn't review earlier.
But reading the end of this chapter, and seeing that there wasn't any more, made my soul hurt. IT HURTS SO BAD.
I will love you forever and be your loyal servant FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE if you update soon. D'=
Please? For the sake of my aching soul.

I cried this ENTIRE chapter. Seriously, Jazz, poor baby! And... and not our precious twins! Why, Percy, why? Why would you do that?

Aw poor Jazz! That's just wrong! Poor Optimus.. POOR TWINS! MAGNUS YOU ¢¬¢∞¬¬#¢∞&%$%·$"· XD I hope Jazz and Prowl can somehow be friends.

I gotta say, you never give any rest to the wicked. Whoo! what an emotional meat-grinding two chapters. It's very interesting the points you bring up, and you really show both Jazz and Prowl's regret and uncertainty with their respective choices. But you also show conviction, and every though they suffer and question if there is something more than just themselves, you have them stay true to their beliefs.
In many sources, there is such a thing called the Character Arc, where one character begins one way and grows into something else. I agree with it to an extent, but I agree more with what you're doing: The Character Labyrinth, where character growth doesn't have to always travel forward. In these few chapters, you show Prowl doubling back and once again doubting. You pull it off because you don't have Prowl ALWAYS doubting and questioning - then there would be no growth.
Over all, great chapter. You do wonderful work. Take care.
QOTRS~

Yeah! It made me cry to see how much both had suffered, but it was very well written and executed. I can't wait to see what happens to Lockdown and Prowl, and what Anicon is going to do now that he is evil.
