I missed reviewing this somehow, and that's a crime in itself. This was so painful yet exquisitely beautiful.

I hope someday your muse can be resurrected.

I think I've just read one of my favourite LO:CI stories. Beautifully written, painful but with a little bit of hope at the end. Perfect.

I just...God I don't even know where to begin with this. So many beautiful phrases and images you convey in this story. I actually feel quite overwhelmed.

Although you ended at a good place I can't help but want to know more. How they are managing in the real world? Work? Life? Families? and just trying to be a couple.

Original and awesome story. Took me to places no other fic has. So sorry it ended where it did, but glad too because it's perfect.

This is beautiful and sad and wonderful. Really.

This is a beautiful piece of work.

Aaaand your killing me. I actually hesitated to read this since I've never actually read a story where Bobby is genuinely mentally ill. I've always wanted to, but...I guess it would have needed to be handled a certain why? Like, say, how you handled it? Which was perfectly. Your writing still is just wonderful. Clearly get Alex's unease, sadness, loneliness, her need for him to not be gone from her life now. And even though it's not through him you still know what he's thinking, feeling, throughout. Loved it.

Great story! I have to admit, I'm a sucker for emotional pieces and this one definitely had a lot of emotions and a lot of heartwrenching. It's a wonderful insight on what it would be like if Bobby ever broke down. I have to admit, I've got no idea about the medical mumbo jumbo, but it kinda sounds... well, medical ;)

I also like the somewhat open end - if they're gonna make it work or not, if he's going to get out or not, if Eames will feel "normal" again... or not.

Well, what can I say, it's just great.

Can't believe I waited so long to read this. Generally I don't like "Bobby goes insane" stories, but this was beautifully done.

Eames' pain was so visible-that's not the right word, but...perceptible. Palpable. I can see her worrying over what to say in the letters and struggling to figure out how much to push-you captured that perfectly, the way she has of just *doing* something quickly because she's fast and smart and decisive (has to be in that job) and then agonizing over whether or not she did the right thing. It's genius how you portray her in all her contradictions-closing herself off to save pain but inevitably falling into pain anyway because she can't quite close herself off entirely.

There are so many moments in reading this story where a turn of phrase made me mentally go "ooh," and that's mostly how I judge the quality of writing in stories-I think that this was amazing, and that in general you are a phenomenal writer. And now I am going to stop gushing and go check out Jonathon Coulton.

Oh, and I really want to find out the rest of that Wheeler kissing Eames story...a sequel? Maybe?

Wow! I really really wish you'd divided this into chapters so I could leave you 10 reviews instead of one. Good idea first of all. Letting Bobby actually go crazy - perfect and scary. There was one point mid way through when I thought ... he's going to die. And the ending made me cry because although it's hopeful, it's also sad. I'll be reading this one again and again. - Dix.

Apparently I can just keep reviewing this story for, like, forever, but...whatever. By now you know how I feel about it, I hope.

Now.

Now! I need...I NEED you to write the Freckles Kisses Eames story.

Just saying.

:)

kept holing my breath!WOW!whew!that was some writing you got there but thank you i love everything about it..

This is just wonderful...thanks for sharing!

Wow, love how intense this is and how - I don't know - *desperate* they feel, it's exactly what I needed (to read at work instead of doing what I should be doing). Good work, and thanks for sharing it!

What a beautifully written story! I love it - so sad, and yet hopeful at the same time. Your style is phenomenal.
