This is amazing. I love your descriptions. With a few short sentences and words for each Amis, you are able to convey so much of their personality in a strong, powerful way. Beautiful!

Wow. That was amazing. "Paris will rise like Grantaier rose from slumber to stand by his side" - perfect. Thank you so much for this.

This is so SAD and yet so BEAUTIFUL and just I can't even comprehend. Your writing is gorgeous. Thank you so much :)

Holy cow. Holy cow I'm crying. This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever read, and towards the end I couldn't read it, the tears in my eyes were so numerous. Thank you for that wonderful piece that tore at my heart (but in the best way). You are an extremely talented writer and what works of yours I have read I loved. Keep writing and inspiring people. You have a marvelous gift.

This is amazing. It really captures the chaos his mind must be in as he dies, and yet he remains eloquent until the very end.

Ahhhhhh FEELS
This was very, very good. And now I am sad. This deserves all the favorites.

Whoa. This is just fantastic, I never realized that he got hit by eight bullets and there are eight other Amis. You described them all so well.

I'm speechless. That was beautiful. You nailed every single character so perfectly. I loved how he remembered snippets of them, like Jehan's flowerpot or that one memory of Joly. It was a little odd that he didn't seem to feel the bullets before his mind turned to his friend, something could have tied that in better, like a sentence or so, but otherwise it was really well done and the ending was perfect. A beautiful idea, perfect characterizations. I've never read your Jehan before and he was wonderful!

Suggestion... You can post stuff and I can't, so could you PLEEEEEEEEEASE do me a favor on behalf of the Semi-Holy Stolen Loaf of Bread and suggest The Seven Days of Online Barricades Made out of Mountain Dew Boxes (if you're new, it's a loooooooooong story-not Bricksize, but still.)? PLease? Please? I BEG OF YOU!
Also, I think you should write some Grantaire/Enjolras because THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH OF THAT!

We have a Barricade Day?

Citizen, those words hit me as hard as the bullets- I nearly cried :( Well-written!

Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. This was lovely and heart-wrenching and beautiful all at once, incredible. All the little details were amazing, everything that was so personal about all Les Amis, everything that made it so much more personal. There were little facts that made me smile- like Jehan's flowerpot skull- and things that made me want to cry- like all of Enjolras' reflections on Combeferre and Courfeyrac :( And the description of the bullets hitting Enjolras felt so *visceral* like I could practically feel them, it was devastating. I never really thought about how exactly Enjolras would have died, but your description made it seem as if it took forever and happened all at once at the same time, and wig each of the bullets represent an Ami, it really felt incredibly powerful. You have a real talent, this was extremely well written :))

I'm crying and that is something I do not often do over fanfiction.
This is a masterpiece, plain and simple. The stream of consciousness style yu have written in fits perfectly with the time frame in which it is set, the space of only a few seconds, and yet so much information is conveyed.
I never related the number of bullets Enjolras took to the number of Amis, a haunting piece of information which you paralleled exquisitely.
The ending was heartbreaking and yet so uplifting as well (also perfectly in character but for you that is always guaranteed) especially the sentiment that although they died they did not fail. Sometimes the sacrifices at the barricades can be seen as a failure and a waste and although the deaths of both the fictional Barricade Boys and the real unnamed ones was a tragedy you have found another way to look at it that gives hope.
I cannot find sufficient words to explain just how much this moved me and meant to me. I have been off fanfiction for a while, so to come back to such excellence was a real treat and a pleasure.
Well done, mon ami.
SPAS or Libz

I'm trying so very, very hard not to cry over here and it's not working- really, really not! I have absolutely no words to describe your descriptions of the Amis- each of them even in Enjolras' moment of excruciating agony was so poignant and heartfelt- I honestly can't choose but I did tear up a bit at Jehan's 'long live the future' and Bahorel teaching him savate and never being a lawyer was just painful as was the clause 'love of all kinds, flowing intensely and free'- a stunning, heartbreaking, gut wrenching, moving and yet somehow hopeful tribute to all those both real and fictional who died on this day 182 years ago- very, very well done and definitely something I'll come back to later when I'm feeling less upset!
Much love,
