Bravo! Your story was beautiful and most poignant! I still grieve over the loss of this show - it's potential was deep on so many levels. Too bad the powers that be at FOX and Season 3 writers altered/skewered the storylines that spun down to the heartbreaking finale. Personally, I think FOX couldn't handle the undeniable magic that was Crane/Abby. Nicole Beharie/Tom Mison's acting chemistry couldn't be denied. It's a shame the network wasted SH's potential - unspun gold. I will always love how Crane/Abby lived life on their terms, regardless of the cards they were dealt.

Please continue writing/shipping for SH. This story is fabulous

Just found your story. I love it.

Amen to all your notes.

I would have loved to have watched this instead of that train wreck of a season (should've been series) finale. Thank you for sharing this with us.

"In that quiet moment they found the path they had always meant to be on..."

I loved this line. The fic progresses quickly, but it's filled with satisfying moments we'll only get in AU. (*quiet nods to everything in your afterword*) Great job.

the finale sucked. still bitter about it. I really liked this ending. it fit them. great job.

Perfect fix it great job

It was perfect! Thank you!

I'm not sure which was more moving, your story or your note. Both incredibly insightful and spot on. Many writers have created much better alternatives than the abomination the SH writers threw at viewers, but what I enjoyed most about this one is that the heart of Abbie and Ichabod's relationship–the deep and unbending respect for one another–was at the heart of this story.

I agree with the previous comments. This was beautifully written with an ear for the characters voices. Thank you for helping the fandom to heal!

This was beautifully done. I really enjoyed how you reflected on Abbie's vulnerability and Crane's quiet comfort. You are truly an amazing writer and give so much justice to these wonderful characters. Your commentary at the end was spot on. I agree with you so much about the ending of this show. The messiness and the complete destruction of everything we care to grew and love broke my heart. Thanks for giving us a much more concrete ending,

Thank you very much for writing this and giving Abbie and Ichabod a satisfying end to their relationship, which was denied to us in the finale. I totally agree with your note, and understand your need to more on in order to come to terms with the S3 debacle.

Thank you so much for this. Tears flowing during the entire read. I thougt your words were very poetic in telling the struggles of their last few days. I am so disappointed in their decision to take the show in this direction. Although I truly enjoy Tom Mison, I am not sure if emotionally I can continue to watch the show without Nicole.
Any way, thank you for the truly beautiful story. Be well.

This was the perfect ending. Nice to find such a wonderful writer in this fandom. I could totally see this happening. Thanks for easing our suffering a little. That's what good fan fiction is for.
