While I wasn't able to get an account due to some technical difficulties, I do enjoy this story a little more than Empty Rooms when it comes to happier endings. Still lots of misunderstandings, and confusion, but definitely lighter than Empty Rooms. Though I am sort of curious as to why you haven't chosen to publish all of your stories back on Wattpad, seeing as how it might make you a bit more well-known, I'll choose not to question it. I am also wondering what will happen next in present time. What if Walter wakes up? Will he approve? How did he slip into a comatose state, anyways? Will Hans ever consider Vlad as one whom he can trust with his family? Will Jake ever get trusted? Many, many, questions flood my mind as I continue waiting for answers. But it's certainly a good story you have going on here. I hope you update soon.

Ah, I hope you update soon, Author. Almost been a year, you know? The story is gradually thickening.

*o* I LOVE it! Hope you're able to update this soon- just spent the last couple days reading this and it's absolutely golden 3333

Agh, this is the seventh time I've reread this in a time span of four months. Are you planning on uodating from chapter 23? I'm growing anxious here. Thoughts like 'What's going to happen?' and 'Is the Author going to update?' has been swimming in my mind for a while now. I know it's been only a few months and that most authors have a writer's block for years, but this story is just too good to stop on it. Please, at least, make an author's note or something that tells me you are still working on this story. It's very good and has better spelling and less errors than most stories I find. So it can't be because you think no one likes it. And I doubt it's from a bad case of writer's block. Considering all I am asking for is an appropiate path to lead to:
•Walter waking up
•Hans losing or gaining more suspicion towards Alucard/Vlad
•Some sort of chapter with maybe some more emotions for the reader to feel along with tension
And maybe a chapter with some discovery of Vlad or Walter's past from Integra, Anderson, Seras, and maybe either Van Helsing/Hellsing or The Captain/Hans.
If that's the case, I could help you transition a bit but still let you surprise me. I don't have an account on here nor do I have a valid email for this website. But if you have Wattpad, my username is Yorushima .
Then, I might be able to give some transitioning tips.

But other than that, this story is really great! I'd say a good 4.5 rating. If you respond with an A/N or tell me personally that you are in fact still working on this and haven't given up on it, I could give it a nice five out of five rating. Until then, keep it up!

What do you mean unhappy? The story makes up for silly things like that. In fact, if you were to change the Hellsing characters' names, you might actually grow from an online fanfiction writer to a full-paid author. Besides, I didn't come here for the yaoi. I came because there was no yaoi. I'm not a homophobe or anything, but I'm not one for romance. But you don't need to apologize. Only an idiot who didn't believe your description would get angry. But very nice story! It's been a while since I found such a good fanfic. Well done!

Good story of course

This chapter made me want to fight someone! Grrrrrrr!

Well done once again, I can't wait for part 2!

I. HATE. WALTER. Jerk, bas_! And poor Vlad, THESE are his good memories of his uncle.

Hehe...Vlad answering the cell phone. Yep might cause trouble.

A moment of relief, thank goodness. Hmm... This is the point you've gotten me to, Vlad is all beaten up (in a fight in which he didn't want to participate (damn Walter to the deepest pits of perdition, it's his fault, Vlad would never have hurt anyone on purpose, sweet little boy but Walter, Walter doesn't want to be a decent guardian and throws the innocent artistic child in with the wolves... Ok off topic)), almost falls off a building, is dropped by the cops, interrogated (ok, ok somewhat questioned) by Integra, but gets to eat pizza and have a shower... And I'm Thrilled!

You...it...I... DUMPSTER ?! DUMPSTER?!

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

...

Possibly I should not be posting reviews immediately after reading a chapter. This could get ugly.

Maybe I need to take a break To go read something lighter and less gut wrenching like oh... "As He Burns Away" perhaps. Hmmm... Envisioning Walter in Alucard's place in that story... Yes, yes that DOES cheer me up.

Um... Is this a flame? It isn't meant to be flame like... In truth I'm not entirely sure what constitutes flameness. Please take it that your excellent writing is killing me (errmmm that might not be so comforting). Nevermind, I've got to go find a kitten to hug...

Oh no...:( Pawnshop...no, just no... Although, on the other hand, yes! yes sell flippin' Walter's stuff (I'm glad he's in a coma, except that it's making Vlad's life so very difficult...did I mention I hate Walter?). Gah...I knew Seras would show up, I knew she'd be Anderson's sister...it was inevitable. I don't like Seras and never have ever and generally avoid stories in which I think she will appear, but...well...I guess she's not as irritating as usual...so far.

Gracious, gracious me how very negative I'm being. I do like Integra being the mother...and police chief. Hehehe.

I like Vlad, he's trying. Oh he thinks he's stupid :( such things, said to a child, sink deep and can become a permanent part of a person's psyche. I think I may be taking this story a bit personally ( it's hitting on too many familiar...erm...what? buttons? nerves?...whatever).

Anderson needs to back off, except I don't want him to back off, but I don't think he can just 'fix' things for Vlad. I do want him to be Vlad's friend, I actually like him a lot. Oh, the shoe/washing machine fiasco, that was an excellent bit of writing, showing in one little scene the utter difference in world views and experience of two characters. Nicely done :)

So that's what happened to Vlad's fingers. Always better to be tortured by a friend...for one's own good...sigh...
Vlad needs a good, strong, long, hard, completely uncreepy, snuggly hug. Now. Or possibly I do. Both, I think, though it may, once again, place me in the rather awkward position of explaining that my feelings are being wrenched about by a fictional character's plight.

Ok. I want you to write a story, right now. I want Vlad's parents not to have died, his father to realize that there are forms of brilliance that have nothing to do with mathematics, Vlad to grow up being supported in his art and music and for Vlad and Anderson to meet on equal terms and become good friends, admiring and enjoying each other's talents and strengths. Oh, and for Vlad to never, ever have fallen into Walter's 'care'. Would you do that please?

Teasing :)

Mostly ;)

Chapter 2. Well you made me cry. I hope you're happy :( :(:(:(:(

Ok that was mean, but I am crying and I HATE crying and I HATE Walter!

Sooooo... This is the one you updated hmmmmm? Fine, I'll just read it then, so there, humph! This is what I was thinking last night(when I finally got a spare moment for reading) even though I KNEW I wasn't going to like it AT ALL. I would only try it (like brussel sprouts) 'cause you didn't have anything else new up and I wanted to read something new (because I've read my favorites nearly to pieces... but have no doubt that I shall read them again ;) ). Humph.

Well mumblemumblemumble I like it...a lot. Dadgumit. I've only just finished chapter one and I am, metaphorically, sitting in the corner and pouting... and reading. Sigh...why do you do this? Why do you write stories I am determined not to like and make me like them? That's a bit cruel, don't you think?

Ah Ha! I DON'T like your Art teacher, professionally speaking I assure you she made poor decisions in handling the whole situation. Really, letting it escalate to the point she did... So there:p something I didn't like.

I'm wondering if other people will read this review and think "What a b-!". Heh, I'm wondering if you will think that as well ;). Posting it anyway...

I still enjoy this story

Please, I know it has been some years, but maybe someday you will find the Inspiration to continue this. I just went over here to check if anything has happened, but unfortunatly not. Maybe this project is not yet abandoned. I would really enjoy a new chapter. But so far now, good work :)
