Just reread this story. It's such perfection, I'm sure I'll be rereading it for years and years to come.
Really hoping you'll grace us with some more fics soon!

Wow thank you, it was amazing. You write so well! The characters are really them, it could have been a flashback episode :) can't wait to read the other chapters

Great chapter

Wow. I just read this for the second time and it blew me away again. One of the best fics I've read. You've captured Harvey exactly as I think he is. Absolutely amazing.

Loved this! It played into all their missed opportunities so we’ll and I’m glad it worked out in the end!

I don’t know is you really can read this, but you write them as they are. I can see Harvey and Donna saying these things, they are so H&D. In fact, those are the things that the writers should have put in their mouths in 8.16 and 9.01.
You should have been in the writing room of this show. Thank you for it. Please keep on sharing your talent with us

All your fics are amazing but this one... I was speechless when I first read it and I’m speechless now rereading it. Thank you so much for this.

oh gosh. i've been working on reading fics i may have missed when i thought i was done with suits last year. and my god. i truly don't know where to begin with this one. just read every chapter, and just— *CHEF'S KISS* your writing is enchantingly GORGEOUS. every chapter was pure perfection, and so THEM. there was never a moment where i was like "oh i don't know if harvey thought this" or "i wonder if this would happen." it was always EXACTLY how i have harvey in my head, how i imagine him in the moments you wrote about. there was always at least one moment that was so incredibly full of emotion in a way that encompasses darvey that would just bring me to tears every damn time. thank you for writing this, truly gorgeous.

I REALLY FELT THIS FIC. Haven't read any darvey stuff lately and it's really nice to go back to reading and land on this story of yours. i felt so lucky reading this knowing what we know now. This was such a great read! Loved all the brief canon summaries and i loved that you wrote darvey so incredibly well and so true to their characters. THANK YOU! Really enjoyed this, kris. :) now #krisfic some more please ffs you've been slacking XD

I absolutely loved this, your writing is excellent! Thank you for an amazing, brilliantly told story xx

I'm here because Blanche sent me (and Jessica too) They said you wrote something where Harvey jerks off to Donna and I had to read it and of course I did. AND I'M DEAD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WRITING SOMETHING WE ALWAYS KNEW HE DID. You're a genious (I'm sure you know it but I'm saying it to leave it clear.) I love how you always make me picture everything like a movie, the way the show is. It 's perfect, it's very Suits!

I don’t cry really often but I’ve cried nearly every damn chapter. Not sure if you’ve opened the Pandora’s Box of my repressed emotions, if I’m resonating with Harvey’s suffering, if your writing is that profound, or all of the above. What a beautiful work.

I knew from the title that it was a dream but chief why am I still crying

love. this was so well done.

Yep. Still love it.

Some highlights this time around. At least one of each chapter. Sorry, if I should have already mentioned some of them :D

1. “His own orgasm is so intense he thinks he might go blind. There's come all over his shirt and his cock doesn't go soft for long enough he thinks he might have broken it. "Shit," he exhales, rubbing his hand over his face, his head resting on the back of the couch, staring at the ceiling, wondering what the hell that was all about. "Shit."” ... argh... In all the ways this is freaking hot it’s also really really heartbreaking. I feel so so sorry for him :(

2. “There's a reason he doesn't really let himself fantasize about her often. It always leaves him feeling off kilter. It feels too raw. (It feels too close to longing.)” ... YOU. JUST. GET. HIM. Never getting over the fact. Ugh.

3. DESK SEX FANTASY. That is all.

4. “The way she made him feel. Like maybe falling in love didn't have to be synonymous with falling apart.” ... DEAR LORD! Those sentences get me every time :‘((((((

5. “He hates being dramatic, but it feels like her leaving him tore a massive hole in his chest, and he's doing everything in his power to protect what's been so violently exposed.” ... my god... maybe it wasn’t such a bright idea to reread this when there is a massive hole in my own chest. Seriously. The things you’re able to put into words. Perfection. Honorary mention - because of perfection and tears: “And he meant it. Of course he meant it. This way and that way and all the ways there could possibly be, and what does it even matter how. Love was never – never – the issue.”

6.1. “He used to be better at compartmentalizing, separating the feelings from the physical. In fact, he insisted on it. It's unnerving how they've become one and the same.” ... how far he has come. The transition from the beginning to this point in time. So so so true to them. I feel lame for keep saying it but... it IS perfect. There just is no other word for it

6.2. This one gets an extra because it makes me cry every single time and when I think about this fic, this is always the moment my head immediately goes to. It‘s one of the most true, heartbreaking, amazing things I have ever read. I can‘t quote a lot, but this is etched into my memory:
Donna puts her arms around his neck, smiling, "There used to be more sex, though."
He smiles back at her, breathing her in. It's vanilla. It's always vanilla. "I guess we're an old couple now, huh."
Her smile turns sad. "That would be nice.“

7. “he does the right thing and he tells Donna, but she knew already, except she didn't and she's giving him back the key to his apartment, and it feels like a break-up. It's ridiculous and inaccurate, but every inch of space they put between them always feels exacty like a break up to him.“ ... crying. ugly. tears. And more of them: “In the end, it's almost effortless, giving up everything with Paula for Harvey and Donna. It hits him like a ton of bricks yet he's not surprised at all, the things he's never letting go.”

8. “This is what making love feels like.” That’s it. That’s all. Thank you.

(Reviewing for chapter 1 because I’ve already reviewed for chapter 8)
