Reviews for The Truth We Owe the Dead
Barricade Butterfly chapter 4 . 2/28/2014
Oh my goodness.
This was so heavy and sad, but beautifully written and uplifting in those moments of remembrance. The ending made me gasp...I guess you're not continuing anymore? Your Combeferre is excellent.

Ohmygoodnessohmygoodness! I am so excited for the next chapter, and I'm praying that this National Guardsman saw Enjolras and R die and he can tel Ferre! Eek! Anyway, I love your writing, by the way, it is beautiful. I never really thought about how Ferre wouldn't actually know how most of his friends died, and that in its self is just heartbreaking. The way you portray everyone is fabulous, Courf, Marius, Jehan, all of them. You make me happy, and please continue soon!

Oh dear. I'm already crying. I'm scared to keep reading ...but I want to so much!

*screams*

So glad you updated this, Despard! :D :D I love the detail, the puzzle as always. Missed you!

YOU'RE BACK YOU'RE BACK OH GOD YOU'RE BACK!

... Ahem. I am very sorry, that was completely uncalled for. Multiple exclaimation points are never necessary. Ever.

I'm just so glad to see new stuff from you- your writing is absolutely magnificent and your art- WOW. I thought that you had left the fandom. So glad to see you've returned, if only for this one chapter.

You updated this. I am simultaneously happy and about to cry.
chattie98 chapter 1 . 5/30/2013
Oh my goodness, this whole thing is beautiful. And although, it's been almost 2 years since the last update, I sincerely hope you see this review and continue this story. It's magnificent, and you portray the characters wonderfully! Please update soon!

I absolutely love your writing and characterization! This is seriously such a great story. I would love to read more!
annevalerie chapter 3 . 5/19/2013
You made me tear up. Stop making me sad! Stop it!
Lauren chapter 3 . 5/19/2013
Oh god - I am honestly crying right now. Fics rarely have that effect on me, no matter how sad they are, but I am honest to god in tears right now. That was so beautifully written, and so incredibly sad... x

Things I Love, Part One: Your Courfeyrac!

My goodness, isn't he vibrant and so full of charm even when he's technically not alive in the story. You always give him such wonderful stories, such life, such enthusiasm! He's a delight to read. I just love all your characterizations: Marius looking rather more Hugolian than in his youth and his extreme PTSD, Combeferre's gentle quest for truth above all, even the sort of throwaway lines about Bahorel and Prouvaire! Oh they do shine in all their glory in your fics! And Grantaire! What a bittersweet but fitting end for him, for no one to know his one moment attaining the sublime. So glad you updated this, it was *wonderful*!
Luchian chapter 3 . 1/4/2013
are you going to continue this? it's incredibly well done and I would love to read a bit more :D
Taio Kaiona chapter 3 . 11/16/2011
EPIC! Je t'aime :)
Ravariel chapter 3 . 8/1/2011
This is really lovely...though I'll admit that the flashback with the kittens has been to me the highlight of all three chapters so far! "Too much sobriety leads to delusions," indeed :D The last few lines on Grantaire I also really liked...what a pity that (assuming the barricade events are all canon) Combeferre will probably be unable to record Grantaire and Enjolras' deaths in detail.
MamzelleCombeferre chapter 3 . 7/29/2011
This is so incredibly well written. You manage to capture the spirit of the past, present, and all who fill them masterfully. Your characterizations of not only Marius and Combeferre who are still alive, but of all of the Amis (particularly Courfeyrac)who are dead are spot on. Overall this is an incredibly well written fic. I look forward to more.
