Wow this was really well made. I can see how witnessing this much bloodshed and war might affect someone who can't really do anything about it

You write beautifully!
The slow breaking in Jack’s mind is perfectly spaced and the repetition of the body descriptions and the ‘game’ and the well done’s...oh it breaks my heart.
Can’t wait to read more of your stuff!:)

Oh gosh, the development of PTSD was so well that I almost started hyperventilating! This is, god, so well done! I have no clue how to describe it, I really don't. Not only that, you show the different ways PTSD is seen, from the POV of war survivors to abuse victims through Bunny and Pitch. Plus, the different flashbacks: visual, audio and thoughts. Not many can capture the true essence of PTSD right, and I'm so glad you did!

HOLY SHIT THERES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH ANGST
I LOVE IT
THX U THX U THX U
Pls can you write more like this. I think u broke my heart. Im dying

... Wow

This was beautiful in a tragic way and it broke my heart, but I couldn't not read it. It broke my heart because of the reality of it.

Thank you for sharing.

Damn, that was intense. I love it. Thanks for writing! :D

I'm crying. I don't know if its coz I read this while exhausted and ready to finally sleep at 5:16 I'm the morning of the next day but I just burst into tears. Jack's stories always gets to me. Poor him.

My goodness, I'm a little bit of a mess after reading this, but it was so beautiful and makes so much sense with who jack is as a character. Beautifully written and crafted. The repetition of words really gives you understanding of how that would feel. I loved it.

This is so sad! Gosh, I've never seen a RotG Cold War fic. It makes me wonder if there's a Stalingrad one. General Winter and all that. Thanks!

This is astounding and horrific to read. I could easily see this happening... Jack being ignored by those he had needed help from. Pitch tormenting him. In the end Jack would have to resort to avoidance in order to save his sanity.

Wow.. this left me speechless for a good 10 minutes.
This story really delivers a solid impact on being traumatizing, poor Jack.
The use of repetition throughout the story is really, really amazing. This can be used as a great example of once of the uses for repetition in writing. It really draws attention to the little things being repeated over and over that would be easily looked over if it had only happened once.
I also really like this including the history of what was happening during the time up to the point of the huge snowstorm during 1968. It gets very interesting when one considers how much history the immortals have seen and lived through and how it can impact them.
It's a bit weird, I feel immensely sorry for Jack and am very... subdued? But I don't feel like crying which is what normally happens whenever someone goes through a very traumatizing event/series of events.
Anyways, this is a very impressive story.
Though if this was taken as canon, I do wonder how you would explain how Jack came to be as cheerful and heartfelt as he was in the movie, because it seems that he (for lack of a better word) 'became' mad. (It really reminded me of Skip Beat! episode 19 in which the angel descended into madness after saving her friend by committing her first sin: killing the devil). Would it just have happened naturally through the progression of 40 years going by or other things? Then again, I haven't watched the movie in a couple years, so... *shrugs*
I know one thing, I will not forget this story for a very long time.
Sincerely,

YOU MAKE JACK LOOK LIKE A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH! I LOVE YOUR STORIES, BUT THIS IS TAKING IT A BIT TOO FAR!

Oh, wow. This is heartbreaking and so ... realistic. Jack sounds like he's going mad.

Oh, Ouch.
