I'm a little disappointed that Riley is going too, i think it was important for Ellie to go through events with Joel alone, it makes her more independent and tough. But with Riley going on that journey too Riley takes up the mantle of protector, completely changing Ellie as a character. But hey I'm enjoying so far, so I'll keep going and yeah I know I'm late to the party, only just finished the game yesterday!

What a WONDERFUL story, Taco!

It makes me happy that Ellie now has 2 people who love her and care for her more than ANYTHING! Ellie SOooo deserves that after her hard and terrible life.

I REALLY loved how you filled in the gaps during the cutscenes and I LOVED how you showed us their thought process dialogues during their speaches during the cutscenes. I think you did those REALLY well, Taco! )

Overall, LOVED, loved, loved the story Taco! )

SO well done! )

Now, if we could just get you maybe to someday finish 'The Alternateve Part II'! ;)

BTW, for the age that you were during writing these stories, you did a MAGNIFICENT job of writing them, Taco! It's a testament to your writing skill. I wish mine was HALF as good as yours was at that age! And you KNOW how old I am! ;)

Thanks for the BEAUTIFUL story, Taco! Luv ya for it! )

Thank you so much for this story. I loved it. I can't even start to describe how I feel because there is so much that is so right. I love how it ends without the need to have a dramatic and bloody ending. The time for that will come for sure: but this works completely.

Time for me to get obsessed with your sequel.

That was a great twist, And I love this story and I'm not that far...

But Riley dies so soon! I wanted to see that interaction with Joel! Darn!
Could'nt we have a bit more? I guess I,ll have to see. Great work

Yes they fucking do. But the story you are writing kicks serious ass

Listen to "Tears of the Light" from Kingdom Hearts while you read this chapter. Thank me later. Or don't if you can't see past your own tears.

Excuse me while I comment on how spectacular this chapter was. The use of O'children was flawless and actually playing the song after realising what song you picked made it so much greater. I can barely describe the incredible nature of this story so far. If this is chapter 4 I can't wait wait to read the next 24 chapters. Sleep deprivation, activate!

I love it.
I need this fanfiction in Spanish lol

Oh, I love this. Really, really do. Thanks for writing this, thanks for taking your time to write this lovely story, thanks for writing an amazing character such as Leon, I love him too. The ending was just perfect, just what I expected for all the characters, and I'll be reading the sequel as soon as possible.

OMG it was so beautiful :( It wasn't sh*tty...just beautiful, perfect, so deep and cheesy and you made me fangirl almost in the same way I did the first time I saw Riley and Ellie's kiss...
Thank you for writing this. Thanks so much 3 Now I don't want to read another fanfics because this...this one is just great in so many ways!
-Sorry about my English and I'll be waiting ansiously for the sequel-

I had kitty's theme from the movie the painted veil playing in the background whilst reading the end of this chapter. I can not even describe how I felt when reading the last few words...

Bravo Taco, bravo! Thank you for writing this fantastic story. It was a great read! Grammatically, and in terms of plot. I wish you well in your future endeavors. Thank you again for sharing this amazing peace of fanfiction.

I don't buy that you're 14/15. That's just not possible. For your age, this quality of writing is indescribably good. Please write an original book. I'd line up at the bookstore behind a few hundred fans.

This was amazing!

I suddenly missed Sarah so much while reading this. Like, a lot. Like, pouting at the thought of her. That song was in American Horror Story! Ah, that was so cute!
God, the lie is ripping them apart.
This was so amazing. I was listening to Fly On and God, I thought I could hold out. And then the last part, I was just crying. I'm still crying, but happy crying with just happy watery eyes and a swelling heart. So, on to the sequel. Thanks for writing this, beautiful.
