Fantastic chapter. I love how you re-told it from that episode in the actual show. When I read your fic, I can't help but feel so depressed for Vegeta...because we all know that he doesn't win against Frieza in the end. And it's so infuriating that a character like Goku, a character who ultimately dislikes the saiyajin race and never suffered under Frieza, wins against Vegeta's cruel master.

This line got me--"However, Vegeta realized that Nappa must have been concealing this supposed knowledge from him, because— why? Did he think Vegeta wasn’t strong or intelligent enough to handle it?"

Frieza not only tormented Vegeta's body, but he warped his mind, as well. I can see why Vegeta held no remorse for his fellow saiyajins. He couldn't trust anyone, not even himself. Ah, amazing stuff! I love the incredibly fast updates, too.

Your plot is astounding. I have read (and even written, tee hee) so many fanfics that just kind of follow Vegeta around as he relives his past. He gets beaten by Frieza here or there, he gets harassed by Zarbon, and then he goes on missions. And it's mostly for the angst (which, of course, I love). But your story could exist in the actual DBZ story-line. The way Frieza has been secretly setting up Vegeta to fail and even having him replaced by Cui, was brilliantly depicted. It's real, sick mind games that are so subtle, you can feel Vegeta's anger and betrayal. No wonder he runs from Frieza's army. Really awesome work!

Oh my god. Oh my godjflskdjf, sdlfjsdlkfj, fsdkjfls

THIS STORY. JESUS. DO YOU POST THIS ON FF.NET OR TUMBLR OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW ASAP WHEN IT UPDATES BECAUSE I AM FREAKING OUT. OH MY GOD.

GOT A REC TO THIS FIC THIS MORNING ON TUMBLR AND IT'S BEEN THE BEST VEGETA TORTURE FIC I'VE READ IN A LONG TIME. OH MY GOD. I AM FREAKING OUT.

I want you to know that inside I am still locked in caps, but I figure reading this will be easier if I let up on that. Jesus. Your Frieza is exactly how I picture Frieza. I don't know how you do it. Oh my god. The gaslighting that Frieza is doing in BtP Part 1 with all the drugs and the gaslighting *here*. Oh my god. I am seriously freaking out. This is an absolutely brutal fic and I am at least 7% releaved that it's taking place in cannon timeline since that means there's a chance this wont end up being one of those dark fics that ends horribly for Vegeta and absolutely *wrecks* me. I love seeing my bbies in pain but oh man if there's no redemption or escape -- it kills me.

Anyways. BT-DUBS YOU ARE GREAT. YOUR STORY IS GREAT. YOUR WRITING IS GREAT. One of the most effective realistic (as those things go in our world filled with crazy ki fighting maniacs) depictions of emotional abuse and just is absolutely AMAZING. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!

I've read plenty of Vegeta-torture fanfics. I love them. But yours is really horrifying. I think it's just the raw, blunt way you write the reality of Vegeta's abuse. I feel I can relate to his pain and you portray his betrayal so well. Absolutely no one is aware of what happened to him...and his pride would never allow him to speak of Frieza's evil, disgusting ways. It's a no win situation for Vegeta and it really shows why he became a truly disturbed, selfish character. Love it. Looking forward to more.

Even without Frieza's presence poor Vegeta is torturing himself in his absence! That is some sad trauma right there. Is this going to be an AU or is it following the canon story-line. I want someone to save our poor prince! As usual, spectacular writing. I can't wait for the next chapter!
