Holy fuck, this is the best thing to happen in forever! But please do tell me, how am I ever going to get any work done on my own stories when I'm stuck glued to this thread and hitting F5 every 30 seconds?! I love your characterisations! You got Soldier and Engie nailed spot-on, and I'm in awe of how you write their dialogue. Engie's accent is perfect, and the way they argue is very realistic - I could literally hear their voices in my head as I read along. I don't know if you're looking for any kind of constructive criticism on this, but the one thing I can find to mention is that it might be nice with a tiny bit more descriptive narration. Then again, your dialogue is so perfect that no further descriptions are actually necessary; there's never any doubt who's talking or how they're sounding, whether tired, exasperated, or angry - your choice of words is so precise that anything else is simply not needed. That's pretty damn impressive. I can't write dialogue worth a tenth of this. In short, I am in love with this fic from the first post and already on the edge of my seat for more. Thank you so much for sharing!
