Thanks so much for continuing to write this story, you don't know how much this fic means to me, best fanfic ever really! It's always such a joy to receive an e-mail about an update, I always cry a bit, yes, this fic is THAT good. My gosh I can't wait to read the next chapter, what a cliffhanger! I'M LIKE WAAAAT Vegas?! DELTA? /3 Gosh I love you. thanks for this roller coaster!

Ah it's good to be back and review this fic again
Surprisingly it didn't take me as long as I expected to jolt the memory back at where I was left off and can easily going into this chapter right away. I want to give you the general thought process as I read this chapter. One being that I still don't trust DOC and find it funny that the story address some stuff after I think about it to the point that i'm asking am I being swayed? is this story suppose to make Doc suspicious as a red harring or is it just me. like I thought "this get every information out of everyone easily reminds me of a therapist" then Pewds addressed it. when it was mentioned again right after Pewds slipping twice that "yeah Cry did open his heart to Doc in the similar manner" it really make me think and even more concern now.
As whole Delta fiasco. I have a feeling that when this might be the chapter when the shoe drops once I reached the middle of the chapter, we've been building this up for so long now after all. At first my thought is like "Aw he's gone for so long to find the food Vegas needs for the pregnancy(?)) but then caught on pretty quick when Speed confront Pewds about the med and was like "oh no...the sleeping pills are in the food isn't it?"

now I really wonder where this will lead. I feel like it's either
1. Vegas and D sucessfully made their escape but the event created the rift in the group and especially to Pewds and Cry situation where they have yet to agreeing on leaving or not and make everything falls apart
or
messing up their plans Delta softness result in all side falls apart and all hell break loose immediately

what ever it is I'm excited. It has been a long journey, 6 years can you believe that and really you are not obligate to continue this for this long and yet you are still commit and wrote all those 300,000 words I can't say how grateful I am enough. Well whenever the next update is coming whether it will take a year or more I will be sure to check it out.

Heya! It's been a while since I last review! And my, aren't you on a roll this year!?
I want to talk about the previous chapter too, since i didn'r review it but i just want to get to the point in this chapter as soon as possible sooo i'll just say that, good chapter! Tesla's backstory is certainly both interesting and ominous. There's just something unsettling and disturbed about Children killing each other. Not to mention the whole explaination of what's up with Tesla split personality. You know, i know it's impolite and not a compliment to compared character to something else. But i just couldn't help it. Tesla now really reminded me of Frisk from Undertale. I know Tesla came first but after reading that chapter and looking back, the similarity is there.

But anyway let's move on to this chapter boy, i love it!
I love the whole confrontation with pewds and the Vegas-Cry bonding moment at the end to bits. I love how tactitful Pewds was during the whole conversation and can't help but get incredibly and disapointed with Cry in this chapter, wait no, just during the conversation i guess,like he justs need to stop, that whole unhealthy control freak mindset and stubborness. It just so painful watching him making progress and admit he was wrong then fell on backward hard on his butt and have to redo that developement over again from time to time. It just that whole mixture of i don't want to loose an argument plus a little jeleusy/obsessive behavior and then bamm throwing a tantrum, and it's not even because he's wrong in his logic, like, even before he spells it out afterward to Vegas i already kinda agree with the idea that it's not good to stay put in one place, that they should keep moving and evolving perhaps finding temporaly rest but would continue onward afterward but noooo he never said any of that to Pewds instead it just bringing those finding safe place bs and of course If we put THAT against Pewds' logic it would crash and burn. Pewds is definitely totally reasonable with everything he said. Not even manipulative, just tactiful and reasonable. It's both frusterating and entertaining, you know, like watching Pewds destroyed Cry in the chess match that you know Cry can win but instead having to watch him throwing tantrum about it.
Now, that bonding moment afterward with Vegas. It just so freaking cute and knowing it intented to be parallel Vegas/Delta with Cry/Pewds is just-arghhh it just so good. Dang I started off like i going to talk about it a lot, but that's just it, it just a really good scene. A nice released from all the tension in the previous scene. Arghh just loving it!

Poor Speedy, like tesla i can sense the storm coming and eventually this whole conflix is going to break loss, and i fear he's going to be the one who take it the worst.
And Vegas, it couldn't be more obvious she's pregnent, or have a bad stomuch problem like Cry used to have. these are the two think i can see Cry being "familiar" with, guy being a family man of course would noticed Vegas be haviour being similar to something he had seen before.

Your writng continue to be astonishing! Even when nothing happened, it still managed to captured me and make me excited for more, how they think, how they talk. and the way you write the characters! It's just so good i can actually hear their voices! I don't expect new chapter to come soonish and i won't pressure you to hurry, take your time! like these ones, the wait will be worth it and get me all excited for this fic all over again! have a happy new year and holidays. Hoping for the great year to come :)
(ahhh so good to be back with reviewing)

so happy to see an update! it was amazing and I can't wait to read what decisions they will make. I'm glad to see this story still gets updatesHappy holidays!

YESSS! This is the best thing that I saw in my email today! But really though, I was thinking about reading this again yesterday just because I miss it haha then boom, an update!

And holy shit, once again! You deliver these emotions so well! Like, I could be having the time of my life today but then I read about Cry's apprehension and sense of dread about the whole situation and I can't help but feel that way too. But that's what makes it so great!

And finally, Tesla's backstory! Okay, I get how she became like that but I'm still on edge. Even with Speed too last chapter! It's like they're trying to decide for Cry and Pewds. Or I dunno, maybe I'm just in denial that someday, they'll have to separate. 'Cause I know next chapter's gonna be a landslide of emotions. I can sense a fight coming ahaha

I still think Vegas is pregnant. That or bitten/infected. But if she's infected, she should have turned by now. But we also don't know the symptoms and duration of turning to zombies sooo. Huh, I just realized that they haven't really encountered someone turning. Although when Pewds killed his first zombie in that church and Cry found him unresponsive, the latter's first thought was 'oh no, he a zombie' but he didn't even left Pewds alone that long soooo maybe turning into a zombie would be pretty quick. I'm rambling, huh haha. In conclusion, I think Vegas is pregnant. (watch me get it wrong haha)

Also, I found you on AO3 haha. Been there for so long but I never thought to search you there. I could have read this two weeks ago! Maybe because this is the only Pewds/Cry fic that I still read haha also, it makes it special for me to read it here because I found it here. Anyway, I'm preparing for the storm next chapter. I'll bring tissues next time haha

Ok, ok...this is my absolute favorite chapter just because of the scene where Pewds saw Cry. So much raw emotion. But that's not the reason why I'm commenting.

I was watching a gameplay of Outlast 2 (not Pewds'...i don't really watch him anymore) but the player was kinda slow on the uploads. I'm not annoyed or anything but I just wanna see the ending. And it just so happened that I caught Pewds' livestream for his last episode of said game. And I thought, why not? I haven't watched him in so long.

And he changed so much! But in times of panic and fear, I can still see the old Pewds that I idolized throughout highschool haha. And that made me think of this story again. And so I read it again. And I KNOW what's gonna happen but I still cried like I did when I first started reading this. I happened to read my comment from more than two years ago too. My god that was cringy haha.

And so here I was missing old times when Pewds and Cry would play co-op together. I missed their dynamic so much. And then, and then...last night, Pewds posted something that made me squeal like a fangirl. A video of Bloody Trapland...of him...and Cry. I was squeaking the enitre time, it's embarassing haha. And they exchanged characters! So Pewds have that stupid yellow blanket and I feel like my emotions are personally attacked haha

But seriously, you deserve way more attention and readers from the effort you put into this awesome story. Really, really thank you so much because I feel like I'm also growing emotionally with the characters. I really feel like I've learned a lot from this. When I just need to cry to let out heavy feelings, I go back to emotional chapters and let myself go.

This is becoming extremely long so I'm gonna stop now haha. Sorry for any spelling and grammatical errors, still wiping my eyes from crying haha

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

I'd forgotten about the whole drifting thing that's kinda going on with Pewds and Cry (and has been really, since nearly the beginning because they can't freaking talk to one another about feelings (seriously, boys, please)) since they came into the Fire House and been learning to get along with the others. And Cry's jealousy being another cause of it and stuffs.
And I was going to say something else that had been brought to my attention, but I completely forgot about it because fabulous unicorns.

But fabulous unicorns.

THE HAT LIVES.
But oh my god, I love these OCs. Just sayin'. My opinion of the Anorak is definitely improving here. (I mean, it wasn't *bad* before, but to be honest I wasn't sure how to think of him. On the one hand, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. But on the other, fuck I hate when people don't give me straight answers.) Also Vegas. Poor child. I think Delta is still one of my favorites though. Him and Speed(y). I have mixed feelings about Doc though. On the one hand, so far he's a really cool guy. But on the other, the whole "you feel really at ease talking to him and stuff" kinda rubs me the wrong way.
So hey, I've been binge-reading this. In case you can't tell. And fuuuuuu I don't want it to end.
But also, kinda worried about Pewds. Cause so far they haven't addressed the idea that maybe the apocalypse has spread beyond America and into Europe and that there is no safe place. And if that's the case, he might not have Marzia or his dogs or any family to go back to. On the other hand, if there is and they get out, how would they cope? Especially since he and Cry seemed to have sort of developed a dependency on each other.
Also curious if they'll meet any other notable YouTubers? We had a brief moment of Ken in the beginning, but how are they all faring? Like, I think when it comes down to it, most of the YouTubers that played a lot of horror games in the past (and just generally have a certain kind of personality or willpower), such as Manlybadasshero and Scott Jund and Russ and Minx will probably also be surviving. Maybe a few others, like Markiplier or NicoB or even Tobuscus, if just because they got lucky like Pewds and Cry or if they somehow ended up with the right person/people. Heck, I'm definitely curious about the rest of the world outside of this particular area they've been in so far. And Cry's family. That too.
Also slightly worried because I love this group of survivors they've found themselves with, and judging by every zombie apocalypse story/game/movie/etc in existence, they'll either end up dead, evil, or they're going to stick around to the end. I hope for the last one, but considering, there's probably not a high chance of that.
Okay I think I've exhausted my thought process for now. xD Back to reading!

After a little under a week of binge reading, I just read this whole fic for the first time. I admire the amount of effort and time you clearly dedicated to this story and your writing, so I wanted to leave you a lengthy comment as thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece with us.

I love this story so much I think it is one of my favorites. Not just of Pewdiecry or fanfic, but overall fiction. It may be a bit biased-since my love of zombies and the relationship between PDC is strong-but that isn't all there is to it.

This story has all the elements I love. The first I want to talk about is that slow burn. I fucking love slow burn romances with a passion. And you created an amazing slow burn that is so slow that the reader has to pay attention to see it grow. It's not another love story that happens in a matter of days. It's not another where one's heartbreak immediately draws he or she to a new person. It's not one of those love at first sight. No, this is much more. So much more. Pewdie and Cry are friends for so long, with subtle little developments. It seems so realistic for a pair like them, especially considering the environment they're in. Romantic love can be hard to find when you’re focused on survival.

Similarly, I love the push-pull relationship between Pewdie and Cry. I love how you've developed their characters, based on their actual real actions in their videos, and considered how the apocalypse might change them. While Cry is cautious and critical, Pewds is more brash and observant. While Cry seems more logically driven, Pewds is more emotionally driven (I mean, they both have emotions driving them, but do you get my point? Like how Cry is concerned about supplies, while Pewdie is concerned about them being alive). While Cry is quiet and reserved, Pewds is loud and talkative. It's these differences that complement and repel both characters.I love it because, like Delta says, there’s something special about it, about them.

God, the conflicts.
I love me some angst, all right? It's so realistic because, especially in their circumstances, being around each other all the time is going to drive them nuts. They don't always think on the same wavelength and that is what makes the conflict so juicy and defined. I also love how you created conflicts where there isn't really a victim. Both Cry and Pewds are at fault for most if not all the tension created between them, and I love that. It's not about who is right or wrong, but what is (Does that make sense? Lol) I find this very realistic because a lot of couples fight in relationships because they will not always see things eye-to-eye.

Next, storytelling. Much like pacing, I think the balance of description you have is amazing. When a major event is occurring, you go all out. Usually, I like to read comics over literature because I find it easier to immerse myself when it's drawn out for me and I can see the emotions of the characters (most of communication is nonverbal, after all.)You're descriptions are lengthy but not difficult for me to picture, and with them I’m able to feel the emotions. So thanks for that :D

Before I forget I want to mention my love for your OCs. They are so creative and interesting to me. I love how they each have their own quirks and are not based on stereotypes, like a lot of characters end up being in mainstream media now-a-days. I also love the dynamics between them, such as the one between Vegas, Delta, and Speed. I love 'Betta’s scissor passion and her sledgehammer skills lol. I admire the way you took a pieces of Cry and Pewdie and put them in your OC’s because it really amplifies those qualities and helps further the relationships. (Like Tesla talking to herself vs Pewds to objects.)

Lastly, I just want to say that I love your notes at the end of chapters. It's really interesting to hear what your reasoning behind certain decisions in you writing you made. It's not something I see often, if at all, unless the author is directly asked about it. These snippets just make the story feel so much more understandable and real.

I cannot contain my excitement for the chapters to come :D Thank you so much for everything you’ve already written. It truly is a beautiful work you’ve created here, and I hope you’re proud of it.

Hi, I was the guest that posted the comment before this haha It's really been so long since I logged in to this site that it logged me out already haha but when I got the email, I didn't even bother to check if I'm logged in or not. I'm just that excited.

I swear to god I almost cried when I saw this on my email last night. The wait is so fucking worth it. Really, I'd wait 10 years just for the next update. Okay, that's exaggeration but you get it haha.

It's sad that I know what Pewds is going through, not the strangling part but the helplessness. Like, I get that I'm okay and everything is gonna be fine but I can't help to overthink sometimes. I acknowledged the problem and is getting help but minds are sometimes irrational so I'll think that I'll never be better. I really hope Pewds gets better.

Is Vegas pregnant? I know the vomiting part was mentioned last chapter but in Pewd's perspective, I can't help but wonder. Because I get why Pewds vomited but Vegas? Delta said she can't stand the smell of a particular food and when Pewds confronted her, she panicked. She also relaxes when Pewds told about the expired food. Or is this just an elaborate ploy for Pewds to admit he's getting sick too despite not having any of the expired food? Ah, I guess I'll find that out later.

Delta is such a fanboy seriously haha. I really liked their heartfelt talk. He basically said what all the fans want to say about those two. I know Pewds never forgot that they're a team but it still feels nice to be reminded.

And I really liked Speed's character development! To be honest, when Pewds was mentally listing the possibilities of what Speed could have said, I'd thought that too. It's the cliche thing to do right? But this, this is better. Because it feels real. The helplessness, not knowing. Knowing but can't do anything.

And of course Cry! It really warmed my heart to read the scenes where Pewds just touched Cry then he felt better and the one where Cry said he'd always have Pewds' back. So much has happened between these two and this interaction just made me root for them even more (not that I was not rooting for them in the first place). I really hope Cry's choice to leave and Pewds' decision to stay will be resolve. But knowing you, it'd get bumpy again haha. One moment, they're being BFF's then they get mad at each other. But oh well, I guess we'll see what happens.

:) I dunno if your still here, but this is awesome. I honestly love this story. The characters, the way they interact, the emotions. It's wonderful that you can inspire such things in huge chapters with much detail. Well, if you're out there, just know this an amazing piece of art you've written.

Anyways, have a nice day! :)

this is my most favorite PewdieCry fic. You know why? 'cuz you love characterization and you don't half-ass your way through the plot. It's PewdieCry but the romance is so lowkey(of there's even a romance at all) that when they start to interact with each other, it's special. i love this so much. I love Pewds and I love Cry. you are awesome. please update soon because whenever I think about the most awesome gaming duo, I can't help but think of this story. :)

You have no idea how happy I was when I found this story updated. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I'm literally screaming inside!
And it was a wonderful chapter, filled with lovely moments between Pewds and Cry. You're such a good writer! The emotional depth and their friendship and AGH. I love it so much!
This is my favourite PewdieCry story, and I will keep it in that place, it is so good I just can't ever abandon it. Looking forward to the next chapter! :D

My gosh, it's good to see you again! A day before you updated this fanfic I was playing The Walking Dead and I couldn't stop thinking about this fanfic, I swear, if you hadn't posted this chapter the day after, you would have seen a new message on your Tumblr of me crying for a new chapter. This chapter had me quite emotional, what Pewds is going through breaks my heart, the way he fakes his smiles so he won't worry Cry and others.. Oh that hit me deep inside. We all have been in that situation, haven't we? And Cry's jealousy? Should I feel bad for liking that? I just really want to see those two together! What is happening to Vegas? Will Tesla's secret ever be revealed? I'm excited for a new chapter, hopefully it won't take another year for an update because I'll certainly go insane if this is just a tease, I love this fanfic a lot, to the point of saying that this is my favorite fanfic. Be very proud, dear, because this fanfic is worth waiting for. Thanks for taking your time to write this chapter, I really really appreciated it as I'm sure everyone else did. Be safe! xxx

Your fan,
Lady Ambika
