Oh my god, I'm sobbing, this is amazing. And so sad. And depressing. And fluffy. And I love it.

Somewhere around chapter 9 or 10 I finally realized that Henry was at a funeral. I was so worried about which one of them was going to die, because I knew it was going to make me cry regardless. Well, I had a sloppy sob through the entire last chapter. Like I needed tissues and it was noisy.

There were so many layers of emotion in this story and I think that’s part of what made it so beautiful. I ended up at this fic because I googled “best swanqueen fics” and this was the first recommendation—I was not disappointed. Part of me thinks that you should change the names and publish this. I would seriously buy it and spring for the hardcover version, just because I see myself wanting to read it over and over again.

every damn time, every time i read it i freaking cry and i read it a lot.
you're freaking amazing writer for leaving me in tears.

Damnit! My dogs are staring at me wondering why I’m crying...

I'm sitting in bed at 1:32 in the morning crying because of this. My heart is broken, this was written perfectly. I read this in one go and just broke out in tears

I knew it was coming, I read this story all in one go, you made me cry. I just can't articulate my feelings well enough now. Thank you for writing it. It's beautiful, no, extraordinary.

i love this so much, this was incredibly soft and i honestly love how cora is portrayed here :))

it took me twenty minutes to get through this one chapter, it's safe to say that i am already extremely emotional

This story literally broke me. I'm literally sobbing RN. Beautiful.

:( thank you for such a beautiful story

Man, each time I read this fic it just about destroys me and I end up wailing like a newborn. Every. Single. Time. Even after all these years.
Thanks again for this marvelous gift.

It is a lovely story but I couldn’t read past their deaths. I wish the warning had definitively said main character death. I was widowed last year. It will be a year Jan 23.

AHHHHH this story destroys me every time I read it. Everything about it is just so good. Henry (for once) is such a delightful character. I just love the personality you gave him as a narrator here, the way his internal monologue compliments the story. Of course the love story between Emma and Regina is just as epic as ever. The ending makes me sob like a baby every time I read it. I wish this could get made into a movie, I think it would just be stellar.

I don’t know why I have never come across this before, but this broke my heart. I have not cried like that for a lot of years.
The most wonderfully written, piece of work I have ever read.
Thank you

“I’d be lucky enough to see it”. I’m rereading this fic and I’m legit dying. Knowing the ending puts a whole new perspective on the story and it’s even more extraordinary.
