Very tender and very sweet. The use of imagery with the sunset was brilliant; what is love, if not an endless array of colors that greet you every morning, noon and night?

Good job.

Happy birthday to RedWheeler! She might not read this review, but never mind XD

I'm exactly like that... I am not a morning person at all, but have to get up at 4.30 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays XD It's not good.

Aww, this was so sweet. Somehow, I just knew that Max would break up with Mariam, and would instead propose to her XD Maybe it was the title of the oneshot. Must've been XD

And it seemed somehow appropriate that I was listening to 'Parachute' by Cheryl Cole when listening to this. As it's a kind of love song and all...

Anyway... I'm sure Judy would be thrilled to hear their good news P I'm sure she'd be even more thrilled if Mariam announced she was pregnant... God, Judy would actually faint. LOL.

Well, anyhoo. This was a fantesticles oneshot! D

I hope you like spazzy reviews. XP

So, I read this yesterday after I came home from work. I squealed when I saw your name paired with MaxMariam, as that seems to be the usual response from me. XD Then I saw that it was dedicated to me. So, thank you very much, I really enjoyed it! Although I think I'm the squarest square of them all. XP

Anyway, I really didn't know what to expect from this oneshot the first time around... as usual I have read it twice to get some bearings beybond: "sdjkfjkdfjkf." That's what my brain processes when I read fantastic MaxMariam. XD I noticed you made some subtlee hints through Max, but overshadowed them with Mariam's inner dialogue. I thought that that was fantastic as it took me to Max's main inner dialogue about half way through or so to even guess what he was doing. XP And I guessed right. The second time through I could appreciate the hints you gave and the subtlty of the countdown, so to speak, to the perfect moment during the sunrise.

Speaking of the sunrise, I liked how you clarified that he wanted to signify a beginning instead of an end - which was one of the hints you threw in. As well, the descriptions were amazing and really set the scene, from the actual scenery to Max and Mariam's actions and feelings.

I also enjoyed how you set up to be a break-up-ish kind of thing, for Mariam to be distracted as Max stalled for time and nerves. First time around I was so lost with what Max was trying to do. XD Up until that moment I mentioned earlier, I was all, what are you trying to do, Max? At first I thought he was just trying to be philosophical... which I suppose, in a way, he was. XP

I thought I saw an error yesterday, but then I lost it... so odds are it didn't exist. Today, I spotted something else when Max pushes her away to remain sane. It says, "... holding both of her hands in her own...," I sort of assumed the second "her" should be "his"? Considering the size of the oneshot, that is quite amazing. XP

I enjoyed the Judy references. XD As always, they make me laugh. In accordance to the ending, I didn't really have a problem with it. I thought it fit well and I really have no questions about whether or not things were wrapped up. I often feel, after writing an ending, that I don't like them and I can't place my finger on it either. XD For me, I think it may be because I think of something fantastic then I perodically forget what it was or... not think that far ahead in a story and just let it end however it ends. O.o Yes.

I really liked the ending as I keep finding more and more reasons to love unable to remain sane Max. XD Especially when you write it as it makes me sigh and happy. A regular have to get up and leave the room kind of MaxMariam this oneshot was. XP

A lot of emotions in this one, as to be expected, given the content, for the lack of a better word. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who happens to read this first. It was very up, down, up. At least for Mariam. Max seemed quite confident through his annoyance.

Oh, I just remembered something else I really liked. XD It was Mariam's reaction to Max saying that they keep each other sane. I thought it was very true as Max is quite the head over heels kind of guy and Mariam usually seems annoyed with him. XP As well, I enjoy that you throw in that Mariam, when she is really annoyed, speaks Chinese without throwing in actual words. It's always been a pet peeve of mine when people throw in other languages into a story. But I like that you throw in those kind of details for added touch and Max usually just observes her in those moments. XD

Anyway, lovely inner dialogue Mariam as per usual. I always love to see MaxMariam from you because I know it's a guarantee that you will do them justice. XD Plus it makes me teary-eyed happy. All it took for me to have to leave the room yesterday was that you wrote something about them. No lie. XD

So awesomeness right here; favouriting it for sure. XP I really appreciate the dedication. Also, I enjoy early birthday presents so I was quite happy to see this yesterday. Was the "keep writing so I can keep living" thing directed at me? As flattered as I am if it was, I am so not a reliable person as a lifeline in that respect. XD Regardless, I'm going to write you the best birthday present I could ever write just as a thank you. I should probably start now. XD

Fantastic levels of awesomeness. XD

so adorable and so well written it's just amazing

Nice story, very sweet!
