Loved this story so much! I don’t know why, but Kyle acting all creepy and suspicious and yet obsessive while wearing the pants in the relationship was interesting to see, but in a good. This story is “different” but it’s a good different!

What the fuck

I just had to hop onto my old account to review this even though I'm pretty sure I left one a decade ago. It's still gripping. How old were you two when you wrote this? I still find myself thinking back to this story even now... the buildup... the delicious relationship between Stan and Kyle, how incredibly hot and awful it is, how it makes you want for Stan to escape his clutches. I have read so many fanfics, so many books, and this one really does stand out. Although rereading I find myself getting more annoyed with Stan, feels like he was seduced by the siren song. I really wanted him to leave. I also agree with many returning readers - Kyle seems kind of... really abusive. It's fiction and somewhat of a fantasy, so I give it a slide, but Kyle's behaviors really are very unacceptable. Stan makes it seem like in the end he was overreacting to everything, but I really don't think he was!

In fact, in this current political atmosphere (and because I just watched American Horror Story: Cult,) I think HHS is some kind of male-empowerment, possibly white supremacist group. What hints that to me is that in the final chapter, Stan comments that the group talks about "interesting news and political happenings," and how they "affect the group." Considering the prepsters that take up this group... not hard to connect points A and B. Stan seems like he's not very, uh, "woke," at least in your rendition of him. He seems very preoccupied in his own life and doesn't think about things in a bigger picture way, so the nature of this group probably side swept him. (After all, he was only thinking about how Kyle was acting "weird"... and to be honest he was acting in the way a lot of those kinds of people do, elitist and all that.)

I wish y'all were still around so we can have some back and forth about this because I would love to hear your opinions 10 years later. Ah well. Thanks for the memories and strong concerns. Not all stories have a happy ending I suppose. Hope someone talks to Stan about abusive relationships, maybe Wendy. Peace!

Loved it. One of the most detailed fics i’ve ever read even if it was made 10 years ago haha. Anyways the story towards the ending did put me off though. All the build up and effort put into getting Kyle out was so engaging that it kept me up reading all night. Though I didn’t like Stan being a huge hypocrite in the end

Man, I remember reading this in my mid-teens when it was still on-going and checking every day to see if a new chapter was released. It's still one of my favourite Fanfics of all time and probably the one that had the most influence on me as a writer. I think I always looked at it as the ultimalte goal of what I wanted to accomplish with my own Fanfics one day, even after I started losing interest in SP and moved on to completely different fandoms.

Now, over ten years later,

Honestly, this story was a master piece, but I feel bad for Austin and Kenny, especially Kenny, he wanted Stan as his best friend, even though he knew he couldn’t replace Kyle, and it’s almost like Kenny knew it was gonna happen, probably why he let Austin it too, he kinda just, accepted fate, but honestly I admire this work, kudos to you

Hey you two, after reminiscing on old drawings of mine I came across some fanart I did for this fic from about TEN YEARS AGO! Isn't that insane? I think it's insane. I'm using my old dA name for recognition's sake, but gosh, it's still as good as the day I read it when I was 14. I hope you're both doing well, and I'm thinking about doing an updated, and much better fic art for this sometime soon - wish I knew where to send it, but hopefully one of you will stumble on it some time in the future. Best wishes to you guys, I'm so very lucky to have been a part of the south park slash comm in the old days, when you both were our beacons of light in the fic side of things! xo.

I somehow stumbled upon this around 9pm yesterday and, after reading the description, thought I'd give this story a shot. And boy, did I fall in love with it: the setting, the OCs, the mystery, the suspense, the interpretation of the main South Park characters. You had me reading all 19 chapters from 9pm all the way to 4, almost 5am, which really shows how you had me engaged throughout. You guys got me to a situation where I could not properly sleep unless I had all the answers to my questions that were madly squirming in me like a bunch of maggots and the gasp of relief (and sorrow) at the end left me both happy and sad.

I was happy to finally reach the ending and conclude my thoughts of it, and finally head to bed after hours upon hours of reading your story.

And yet, it kinda is a pity to say that I do agree with a majority of the reviews here: I did not enjoy the ending as I did the earlier/mid chapters. It was like the rush of adrenaline and sugar from within me had simply just died down to a hesitant, curious "What?". To me, it's as if you've built upon so much drama and so much kerfuffle and so many layers upon layers of plot that, in the end, didn't even mean anything. In a way, it felt as if Stan had his own mind brainwashed due to his affection towards Kyle and his new friends that somehow collapsed all the efforts he, Kenny and Austin had put. Or, in other words, the cult got to him, the hero.

I had believed this would be a tale of pulling Kyle out of the oh-so-evil-and-ever-so-creepy cult but seeing Stan join said cult, the very one that he had swore against and discovered fault upon fault upon fault in, was just so, so, very anti-climactic. I would love to see an alternate ending of sorts to this but I know this would be very unlikely as this was written in 2008 and it is now 2017, a good 9 years gap, haha.

However, I do applaud and thank the both of you for writing this. Despite whatever emotions I had for the ending, this was still, all in all, a good read. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be visiting some of my favourite chapters to fanboy over once more, haha.

Cheers! :)

God

Its been TEN years since I last read this story... I remember reading this back when it was first actually being written. A fucking DECADE. I was in high school still and now I'm a grown ass woman, job and degree. Oh my god.

Still a good story though

This seems like such an amazing story, I took a peep in the comments and I'm kinda disappointed for the end I haven't read yet. it makes me not wanna read anymore knowing Stan submits and joins, knowing there are lots of loose ends and the last chapters are 'bad' in quite a few people's opinions.

SATANIC CULT, IM TELLING YOU.

I BET IT'S SOME SATANIC CULT. A RULE IN SATANISM IS TO NOT BOTHER PEOPLE WHEN IN OPEN TERRITORY, IF SOMEONE BOTHERS YOU AND WONT STOP, DESTROY THEM I CANT

Fuck. What a great story. Kinda freaky. KYLE IS WAY TOO POSSESIVE IN THIS STORY THOUGH. I am glad that the community in here was so gay-friendly. I really liked Austin, the way his character was portrayed. I am sad that he and Stan stopped being friends. I am sad that, even though i am kinda ok with him being in the HHS, I feel sad that he did it solely for Kyle. That kinda pisses me off... Idek. I just got super attached to Kenny and Austin. At that first scene in chp. 19, I totally thought that Kyle raped him in his sleep... Scared the shit out of me... :/ i think this story should be made into a movie, even though I don't like how it ended. 8/10

THE ENSIMG WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

I LOVE THIS STORY PLZ NEVER STOP WRITING#!

Oh god... Last chapter... Im scared
