Okay, over the years, I’ve read this story over and over again, but its the first time I’ve come to this realization. Paul only confronts Barry verbally, never physically. He’s been covered in food, pushed against lockers, had his truck sabotaged, and pushed down the stairs but he’s never *once* responded physically... except when Barry roughly drags Dawn away *against her will* he angrily shouts and follows after them with the intention of physically stopping Barry, whether he has to fight him or not. I’m in tears thank you for reading.

Such a good story.

I’m not logged onto my account but wow I read this story all over and it’s still a favorite. Hope all is well with you! I miss ya and miss writing. It’s been tooooo long T_T

Just finished your story and it was soooo good ! All moments between Paul/Dawn, characters developpment and the interactions with others students were so great and adorable ! I appreciate all of this and I loved that both Paul and Dawn has their own sad past and inners demons !
Thank you so much for your beautiful story ! 3

I loved this story. It was great.

And now, years later, this is still one of the best written stories that I will always hold dear on this website.
You, madam, are wonderful!

*shouts into the silent void of space*

Nooooooo, not love pentagons please *sobs internally*

Well, I don't agree with such an extreme opinion on friends and secrets. Every person has the right for privacy, and being friends doesn't mean you have to unearth all your life story for someone at the first moment. For Barry to tell her was admittedly unpleasant, but her scorn was not entirely justified.

An amazing end to an equally amazing story! Thank you so much for the time you put into this, it really made my day every time I'd see an update.
I haven't been on for so long, and to come back and find this was really such a treat and for that I'm thankful.
Seriously, this was so amazing and you're such a great person x

Hello!

I started reading this 2 summers ago now and have not stopped since. It is such a wonderful piece of work. One of my favorite Dawn and Paul stories, if not my favorite. It's so realistic yet optimistic that you can't help but want to read more. I agree the epilogue was a good wrap up for their story. I wouldn't mind knowing what happens next to the group during senior year though I completely understand if this is the end. If anyone is looking for a flipping fantastic dawn X paul pairing I would HIGHLY recommend reading this one from Chapters 1-26. This story was a roller coaster just as every good book should be and it was rightfully written to the characters. Congrats on such a great job and I'm glad that you are in a better place now than you were when you first started writing it.

Till the Next Pink Promise,

The think that one of the best ikarishipping story I read is coming to an end.

I remember when I first started reading your story and got to see how you've developed the plot

On the other side, Paul's line was so cheesy that it suits him lol

Wow, it's been a while! This review is slightly late (hehe), but I finally read the last chapter and I'm just here thinking about all the great times I had with this fic. Really, it was a lovely story, and the interactions between all the characters always had me smiling to myself. Thanks for blessing this site with Chaos Theory!

On a side note, I was rereading it just now, but there was a scene with Eric and the spinach inquisition casserole, and that dish name just completely passed over my head the first time. Luckily, I caught it the second time and laughed out loud (thanks for that)

"I want to encourage to reapply for the Stanford Scholarship next year."

There should be a "you" in between the words "want" and "to."

Anyway, as someone who was introduced to this story when the sixth chapter was out, I've been stoked to see this final update.

Hope you can continue writing more stories with witty banter like this.

I'm squealing uncontrollably. Aaaaaaaah, I saw a notification pop up in my inbox about this story and I was like, "Wha-?" Good ending! Here's to more stories in the future!
