"She sobs and holds a hand up to her mouth as if she can push the sound back into her throat." That it was I did at exactly that time and now I cannot stop crying! This is the greatest Alias fic I have read in a really, really long time. It is so beautiful and so wonderful, just absolutely amazing! You wrote them both flawlessly, very much in character, I love the tenderness and love between them. It is exquisite! This is just perfection, oh so heartbreaking, but perfect nevertheless. I loved the line "Maybe he would've gotten along with Cynthia after all." It was so sweet and it made me laugh out loud, shortly followed by tears! “Favourite Michael and Sydney moment” was just cruel, my heart completely crumbled, it was so… I have no words; this is the most superb piece. You are simply fantastic!

Oh wow. I don't usually read Sydney/Vaughn, but this story was amazing. And so utterly heartbreaking. I had no idea it was all in Vaughn's head, not until Weiss revealed the truth. And that last sentence had me in tears. So beautiful, and so tragic.

I love, love your story. It's so sad. Poor Vaugh :(

Wow, this was really amazing. I've been looking for a good fic to read and this hit the spot. It had me going until the end. Sad and excellent all at the same time.

Incredible

Wow. Well...It started out great.

The ending was a bit of a let-down, IMO...As a matter of fact, it was downright sadistic on your part. *cringe*

Completey heartbreaking. Yet, for some reason, I find this fic hard to dislike :) The way you wrote it was absolutely perfect; the ending stabbed at my heart.

Sad, and beutiful in it's simplicity (as well as it's tragidy).Bittersweet perfection.

oh so so good. oh man thats so good. so sad so sweet oh poor vaughn . well done- this really is outstanding - dani x

Oh...my. I'm still crying, and I had to wait 5 minutes before I could type! I'm in computer class, too, but I don't care. I couldn't stop crying if I wanted to. This is AMAZING writing. For the record, if all of your writing is like this, you don't have to worry about betaing. The story is so touching, and then when you realize that up until the hospital you've been inside Vaughn's mind...it's just an intense, tragic feeling. I-I barely have words. It's so devastatingly...beautiful. I don't even resent that it depressed me more than I want to be depressed these days (JANUARY! ACK!). It really didn't depress me that much...it just made me think, and cry. I've never really done both at the same time. It's wonderful. I think I'll be reading more of your work!

Beautiful, sad, heart-breaking. And that ending blew me away. I loved the part about the dreams. Great job on this.

Agent Otter, I must say that this is one of the greatest Alias fanfics that I've read. I actually found this story a few months ago, and have just finished rereading. Still, you have not failed in bringing me to tears a second time.

I love your style, as well as the excellent way in which you captivate your readers. The language is spot-on and incorporates just the right amount of emotion.

I am a big reader of S/V fanfic but I have never given feedback before. BUt your story has moved me to show my appreciation. Please continue with your writing. You have tremendous talent.

I came here from a link on the TWOP site and am speechless. The story is beautiful in a "rip your heart out and make you weep" sort of way. Sydney's ghost comforts Vaughn and he stays alive because she stays alive.

Enchanting and heartbreaking.

I just wanted to chime in belatedly that I love this story. It made me cry for a good ten minutes after I finished it, and for me, that takes a lot. I don't cry at a lot of things that aren't real- movies, books, songs, shows. This, to me, is real. Your prose breathe life into your Sydney and Vaughn, and tap into the emotions that lie in the deepest recesses of the heart. It makes me forget that they aren't supposed to be real, and that's the highest compliment I can think to give to a talented writer as yourself.

Oh wow, oh wow. I got kind of bored and wandered around looking for fanfic recs. I came across one for this fic and decided to read it, though I'm not a huge SV fan, or much of one for that matter. But that doesn't matter, cause fanfic isn't the show.

This is amazing, amazing writing. It moved me; I mean, you almost made me cry! And it's SV, too! Just beautiful, wonderful story, right down to the very end. Wow, Vaughn imagining everything, that came as quite a shock. I'm glad you didn't write it so that they both escaped, because it's perfect just the way it is. I practically *live* for angst (though I'm not that great at writing it) so even though this was sad, I really enjoyed reading it. And even though it was sad, there were sweet emotional moments weaved in. Wonderful job, and I hope that my review was at least somewhat coherent.

When I have more time, I'm going to check out your other fics for sure.
