Wow...Just wow. There is something about the words you write and the stories you imagine and the world that's created which has me reading at such a late hour. I LOVED maniac Mavis, your approach to her character was not something you usually see.

Then there's Jellal with his own demons he's trying so desperately to fight. "He wanted to fly,he screamed. He wanted to touch the stars." That ripped my heart to pieces.

Mental disorder isn't a common topic in this fandom so I'm very glad I stumbled across this. You interpreted everything perfectly. Right from the symptoms and experience of having disorders to the fact that love can't heal everything, and that you can't tough it up and face everything alone.

I finished reading just now and I have to admit, I'm feeling tingly at the tips. I'm going to miss this. Fabulous job. I haven't read all your stories but this is definitely on my favourite list.

i loved it most where the fact that they did not rely all in love and tries to heal independently. very much realistic and amazing

this is beautiful

This was beautiful. I really dont have any other words for it. I love it.

Ahhhh yay! That was perfect. Don’t get a man to fix you. Fix yourself then get a man just for funsies. Love.

Awww! I know that love doesn’t fix everything, but man, I still root for it to. Lol. I’m glad she’s being brave on her own!

I’m not gonna be okay if he’s not real.

Mavis is creepy af

Poor Erza.

Ahhhhh! Shit is getting cray. And it’s been cray, but still.

Oh man. Some effed up things are going on here.

Woah. So this one is going to be a wild ride.

Oh my goooddd, Candace, this piece was just so utterly beautiful! I don't have the proper words to describe what I'm feeling right now! It's hit so close to home that I can't stop the embarrassing tears from falling, and that has never happened to me! Schizophrenia is something I've seen two people very close to my heart suffer through, and it's an intermittent beat that can either be too high or too low, and to treat it is hard enough, but to accept it's permanent residence is a whole other suffering. You cannot truly understand what goes on in the patient's mind, and it's tougher to react appropriately so to not trigger anything or hurt feelings when you're not a doctor, and you don't fully understand the symptoms, and when you have personal feelings attached.

The way you jumbled the puzzles of Erza's memories, and the way you laced Jellal's condition was complex and superbly done! I was left swinging on a pendulum of right and wrong, reality and figments of imagination. The bond created between myself and the two lead characters left me trying to balance an equilibrium, and to stay afloat midway on the happiness scale was harder once the scale of helplessness and permanent damage started to sink further!

There were moments when I felt so suffocated, the only thing keeping me rooted to continue reading was the fact that I knew the genre is Romance/Drama and not Angst/Tragedy. The hope of it getting better for Erza and Jellal was a strong pull and the mystery of the incident clotting Erza's mind was insistent on discovering! Part of me thought Mavis would hurt Erza or Jellal, and part of me was sad when Erza's condition deteriorated and wouldn't seem to get better. Part of me was drowning when Jellal lost his sanity and gave me the inclination that he too would not recover- he was the vice and pillar keeping Erza satiated and upright until then! Part of me was elevated when he became better and looked out for Erza when she could not look out for herself! Part of me was drowning again when she wouldn't get better, and when she wouldn't make the call after he left until she couldn't even if she wanted! That's the part when the chapter closed and I didn't realize there was an epilogue. What kept my heart from exploding was the last block of the story that put my racing heart to rest, and relaxed the ache in my head! The happy ending of the two stabilized, having found one another again, and rekindled the love was the bandaid of reassurance!

So much more to say, but I'm all over the place right now, and I don't quite know how to structure my sentences at the moment! I'm into the sweet stuff, but sometimes what you really want is something bittersweet, and I didn't realize I wanted that until now! I'm beyond content!

hey! i enjoy your jerza fanfics! keep em up! we need some good stories for them

((One of the first lessons Erza had learned was that she needed help)) This is so true, so important and so difficult.

I'm really proud of Erza's effort and the efforts Eileen and Kagura does for her.

OMG! Jellal is there... my heart skip a beat... I have to get up and look for some snacks cause the emotion is killing me... OMG! QwQ *happy tears*

((She almost sighed when his fingers found their home in her hair.)) YOU ARE REALLY STRONG ERZA BECAUSE I FUCKING DID! I NEED THOSE COOKIES CAUSE AM DYING HERE! DDDDDDD':

They were fighting their own demons in separate ways but they wanted to meet again. QwQ This fics is so good... they do not apologies or explanations, they know their reasons. They understand it completely!

((And she wanted him to stay.)) QwQ This...

I'm crying right now... my heart is the heart of a chicken... WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL FIC!
