The perfect story to read in a damp and windy autumn evening. Despite the fact that it is imbued with sorrow, it radiates heat. Thank you for restoring one more piece of the Missing Year!

This was lovely!

Beautifully written. You captured both characters so incredibly well. I just absolutely loved it.

I love stories of the missing year. It allows us to witness what we believe to have been during that time between Robin and Regina. Thank you for writing this scene for us. It reflected the vulnerability of our Queen and how Robin so easily fit with her, even then.

So good. So simple in theory, but also very meaningful and complex. I'd be interested in more in this verse.

I haven't reviewed anything in forever, but I have to say something about this one. I LOVED THIS! I'm not sure if it was solely your writing or the mood I was in when I read this, but it smacked me square in the chest and even had me tearing up a little. I know you might have heard this for the thousandth time, but you're amazing! Never stop

Great story! I love a good missing year fic!

And this is perfect.

I wish I could explain how much I loved this fic, how deeply it moved me, how it made me realize that it's one of those never written oq (PLUS a kitten) possibilities that made me fall for this ship EVEN harder but I can't cause words aren't enough but I do have a few tears and a big hug and a few kisses and so you can have those. You're so so marvellous, I hope you know it!

I honestly got emotional reading this. I just love how you write and how it all flows. Plus, Regina playing with a cat. :D

Only you would take a "Black Cat" prompt and turn it into one of those stories that bring so many tears to my eyes that my folks believe someone hurt me! It was beautiful Allison! I honestly cried so much with the kitten's sad story (and wanna hurt badly that idiot that practically killed those three little cats!) and even more with the way you combined Binx's story (NICE TOUCH THE HOCUS POCUS REFERENCE, OMGGG!) with Henry's. As always, in awe!

That's such a lovely heartwarming story. I love it so much! Thank you for bringing a bit of magic instead of spooky festivity into OQ Halloween. It's such a perfect story showing Regina as a true mother that she really is and her and Robin as kindled spirits who don't need words to understand each other perfectly well, he knows her heart and she knows he does. Thank you for bringing that classic OQ magic back! Plus, I'm always weak for that missing year.

I'm in love. I cried just a bit and sad Regina made me sad too but I'm glad Robin was thereand Binx. I kinda want to know more of him, will he be comfortable in the castle? what will happen to him when they're back in Storybrooke? Loved this!

Oh my gosh - I loved this so much. Her worry for Binx - I can't even and Robin figuring it all out and knowing just how to speak with her - my heart!

Love this. You made me cry first thing on a Sunday morning, but it was worth it. I love Robin's patience and the tone of the whole piece was perfect.
