ASadAir chapter 5 . 10/2/2018 This is my absolute favourite modern AU of Will and Elizabeth. You've taken the PoC characters and turned them into distinctly different personalities that we grow to be fond of in 5 chapters! I only wish there were more to read... Hope you're doing well and that you may consider a sequel sometime soon! xx |
lisa-yo chapter 1 . 10/30/2017 Okay. When I first read this, it was dark, I was lonely and yearning for good WE stories. Not to mention it was 1 am. I started reading and I fell immediately in love. I didn't get fed up with their emotions since it was perfectly balanced and non-repetitive. I loved how Will was presented so much like his CotBP self. They always did forgo that personality as the story goes further. But yours didn't. In fact, you delved in that personality further and made it an intricate persona that is Will, modern and dealing with Elizabeth. I loved the breakup scene, the flashback, the window-fog scene with Will, his false hope and everything in between. I hated that she left him, but I loved how that flaw in personality made her human. I loved how every song I chose to listen to amplified my feelings for their relationship in this story- Sam Smith, James Blunt, The 1975, Taylor Swift, P!nk- everything matched and fit with the situation at hand. I loved how Will dealt with everything, how Elizabeth came to terms with both her ex-fiances. I loved how Will finally showed that darker side of him and the line about her being good at giving back rings. I hate how at the beginning of the epilogue, I mistakenly believed that Will and Elizabeth were already together and sharing a new apartment and that her use of "her apartment" were just to mislead us for the grander ending. That was a horrible mistake, for it was only crushing to find out in the end that Will didn't accept her advances. The key was too much to take for me, I couldn't handle it anymore- and Taylor Swift's Back to December bleared in my earphones. And then that scene in her room brought me loneliness I couldn't bear... and then the airplane. Thank you for letting me experience fluff, hope, love, heartbreak, anger, understanding, connection (to the characters and the songs I listened to), loneliness, and then hope again, no matter how dim and ambiguous. The airplane. Fuck. It was a reassuring turn, a realistic, slow build, and I know it has to end there or else it will end up winded and I'll grow fed up with whatever might occur again (torrential downpour of emotions)- BUT the airplane was so fucking subtle and it hurt me like a bitch, especially after that one sign of hope when the door opened and it turns out it was just him leaving the fucking key. Oh I love this story so much! I've been looking for a WE fanfic that wasn't overly emotional or action-filled, something that was raw and made me feel and curl my toes in anxiety for what might or MIGHT NOT happen, as in this case. Oh I hope you... I was going to ask if you could write about this again but that would open the possibility of ruining the story that is already so beautifully written! Thank you for this :) |
Robert C. Lewis chapter 1 . 7/6/2017 very very good job. sad. I'm a sucker for eucatasrophes though... So sequel please, pretty please with a giant cherry on top? |
Smithy chapter 5 . 9/14/2014 I forgot to mention that when Will's Blackberry went off, it reminded me of a scene where Drew Baylor {Orlando Bloom} was trying to kill himself after a really bad day in 'Elizabethtown', and his cell phone kept going off, and 'Can't Get Next To You' by the Temptations was his ringtone. If I honestly had a ringtone, it would be something patriotic, say 'America, The Beautiful', but some of them are so bloody annoying, it turned me off. |
Smithy chapter 1 . 9/9/2014 I never reviewed this story, and I must say, Richard was a real jerk. I am glad Elizabeth gave him the heave-ho, to be with the one she loved. |
Bee chapter 5 . 2/24/2014 My first Willabeth & so very happy at the moment :D |
The Fitzsimmons Shipper chapter 5 . 7/16/2013 Okay for starters I didn't really LIKE modern Willabeth but now...OMYGOSH IT WAS AMAZING-NESS! You got Will PERFECTLY! It's exactly how I imagined him c: And Elizabeth was awesome too. Alright PLEASE WRITE THE SEQUEL SOON! |
The Fitzsimmons Shipper chapter 1 . 7/11/2013 Gosh this fanfic is so angest-y and romantic at the same time. I LOVE IT! XD actually I've already read the whole thing twice over. c: its awesome. Alright down to business. PLEASE WRITE THE SEQUEL! *-* You must! it's totally epic...please write the sequel soon. for you fans sake... |
Sinking Shipper chapter 5 . 12/23/2012 Awww! Loved it! But I was screaming JUST KISS ALREADY! The entire time. :) Could u please write an epilogue or a sequel? Please? |
E Salvatore chapter 1 . 12/14/2010 Finally finished this. Took me all of THREE days! Really glad to hear that it's a trilogy...which means there's a sequel...and a sequel to the sequel, right? Pretty please have that up soon! One of the best fics I've ever read, undoubtly the best Pirates fic ever. |
idle curiosity chapter 1 . 10/24/2010 Oh, I know that this is completely sappy, but one of my favorite songs is "Airplanes" by B.o.B. "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now." If ever a song personified Elizabeth, that would be it. I loved this fic. I would love to see the sequel, because I can't help it, I want to see Elizabeth and Will have their happy ending. |
sweet.sonata chapter 5 . 6/4/2010 PLEASE let there be a continuation in a sequel. It just breaks my heart to see it end this way and not seeing them get together! |
KisstheRain14 chapter 5 . 3/23/2010 this was an amazing story. a bittersweet ending, but still, very, very good. :] you're a great writer. |
jennwrote chapter 5 . 3/8/2010 AH! I absolutely loved the story. It was simply amazing the whole way through, invoking all ranges of emotion. Is it too late to plead for a sequel? |
lynxlan chapter 5 . 3/5/2010 Well we always hope for happy endings but this was much more realistic. I like to believe that they will eventually find each other again but everyone will have their own opinion. Very nicely written anyway. :) |
