I love this one! WeskerXChris is my all time fave. I really hope it's going to continue I really want to know if Wesker gets out like he said he would.

This story was a fantastic read, and for only one chapter, it kept me coming back to re-read it over and over again! The entire time Wesker and Chris were interacting, I had the RE5 voice actors in my head - adding more tension and heat for me.

That D.C. Douglas did an EXCELLENT job, and his David Bowie-esque impression for Wesker was just eleven out of ten for my bros and I. You could tell that the voice actors were either fans of Resident Evil or paid decently (or BOTH), because whew, they put their all into it, feelings and everything! All of them blew me away with their stellar performance. Wesker's mostly, though. He was evil, cunning, and you knew it and loved it.

I was just wondering, which Chris physique did you have in mind? The Resident Evil Remake version? Or the RE5? Because I know Chris and Wesker are about the same height in RE5; although, it does looks like in Chris's stats he grew a few good inches taller in the intervening years. I believe originally Mansion-incident, he was 5'9, I think. And then, in the remake, he was 5'11. Come Resident Evil 5, he's 6'1. Albert Wesker's character stat has always had him at 6'0, I believe. Wesker weighed more, based on musculature, and obviously, Chris's weight bloomed up in RE5 - MAN, with those muscles, Chris is such a BEAR. Chris's pre-RE5 design has him looking very baby-faced, pretty-boyish, etc. And lithe and finely muscled for his figure - kinda like Leon's from RE4 (which I very much enjoyed). RE5... Chris looks very rugged, weathered from time and a man's man - and very imtimidating in stature, what with his HUGE cannon arms and barrel-chest, haha.

So, um, yeah - I was just wondering what mental image to go on, because my brain keeps switching between RE5 Chris and RE1R Chris (with HEIGHT added on, of course), which is very jarring. Wesker's was a no brainer. I just used his RE5 look (without the coat, albeit awesome, I don't think you wrote that he wore the trench-coat, so Wesker didn't have it on in my head), which made me fan-girl so hard, you wouldn't believe! Or maybe you would. :D

Anyway, back on to the story! :)

Your strength lies in characterization, clearly. I could tell that with the dialogue and the characters' actions to one another. Right off the bat, you sucked me in and I read and re-read it, at least three times more. This isn't my first time reading it, but it is my first reviewing for this chapter. You don't overly describe, and pointedly, you don't need to. Your story flows very well with the characters and their personality, that describing every itty bitty thing becomes a thing of the past, at least here anyway. You let your characters show the reader through their discussion and actions what's what - you make them real and have personality. You don't add any unneccary amount of flair to the mix with paragraph upon paragraph of descriptions only, and THAT is what thoroughly grabbed me and my attention. Awesome, and two thumbs up, good ma'am or sir! :D

Chris is still his highly moralistic self, which is such a god-send - I loved how I could see he was getting impatient and hot-headed with Wesker and his ego-centric ways when he was attempting to bribe Chris. Wesker was polite (in an almost honey-tongued way), smooth and there is definitely an undercurrent of power; he's dangerous and he knows it. What a bastard, and I mean it in the most admiring sense, because Chris kept refusing and refusing but Wesker kept at the lost cause (baiting, it seemed), until finally, Chris got fed up.

Is Wesker into the underground, shady dealings? A highly paid assassin? A man with a plan? Does the Umbrella world still exist (zombies, etc.)? These things I kept asking myself, as I read. Wesker is into something, that's for sure, and Chris is going to get a lot kick in the butt for his actions!

I can't wait for the Wesker/Chris slashy-ness! Well, I CAN. I've been on the edge of my seat, but I will wait. :)

Happy writing, magnificent work, and best of wishes,

C.S.

This is very interesting. It's good to see some good AU with different situations than the one's in the games; let's you play around with the characters more. I hope you get back to working on this one soon; I'm eager to read more.

I really like the direction this story is going, and I don't like many AU RE fics.
Please please continue this! C:

You must continue this! Wesker's God Complex must have Chris for himself! It's demanded! With RE 5 out now, they just made Wesker hotter and you can certainly see Chris underneath him moaning. I think you got the personalities down well, I can't wait for the next chapter.

Waiting to see where this goes! I'm thinking poor Chris has bitten off more than he can chew...(or, well, the biting hasn't come yet? ^.^).

And, yeah, like every other Wesker/Chris fan, I'm totally, irrationally excited for RE5.

I'm not usually one for Chris/Wesker stories, but I must say I enjoyed this one. I like the way you've written it.

Hope to see a new chapter soon. :)
