Oooh, I love seeing adult Jess and Rory have grown and changed, yet they are still so in character! I especially love that Jess's restlessness hasn't really left him, but that he still loves Rory and wants to marry her. And his proposal was so in character and hilarious. Just love, love this!

Beautifully written, I hate that Jess can't find peace even when he's with Rory, but it makes so much sense. Well done, very tragic.

Great little story and i can totally see this happening! loved it!

I really like this, any chance of turning it into a chapter fic?

good story

This makes me sad. It's beautiful, but it's so horribly sad.

I love it though.

And hey, guess what? I finally got around to checking my emails and seeing all the updates from you that I'd missed. Whoops...

good chapter & more please

Can something be tragic and beautiful at the same time? Because I think this was. Truthfully, I kind of forgot that you can also write other things besides amazing fluff and it was great (and painful) to be reminded of that.

It kills me that Jess still can't find peace. Guess that's what happens to those who have too much of a soul.

The morning talk is amazing, with the scribbling and the promise that they'll get married, and the fact that they don't need rings and just... stuff, as long as they are together.

A little heartbreaking yet perfect.

ohh. Interesting.

I was hoping and waiting for when Jess would write SOMEthing on Rory. And now it's happened. And she on him, double score!

I like the openess of this story, the sort of way that they're living, and the (semik?)conflict that they have.

:)

I... This was.. Ugh. I feel like crying. I really do, I thought I would a couple of times as I was reading, but somehow I made it through to the end without actually shedding any tears. You're lucky, coz I think if I had I would have had no other choice but to come find you and make you make me laugh as hard as I almost cried.

Oh God, I keep... I was going to read it again, but I can't finish a second time. Not yet anyway. I can't- I don't know what to say. Seriously, my mind is just this big black hole right now. But I did like the bit with the pen and 'mine' and his idiocy deciding to have it tatooed. And the proposal that wasn't a proposal, but it was still... I have more words than this in my vocabulary, but you stole them all and now I can't say what I want to say.

This was beautiful though, in all it's horrible sadness.

great story

The letter is so sad

You made me cry (which, I'll admit isn't all that hard, I cry at everything. Before this I've cried three times today. Once at a Panorama programme about vets, once when my mom was reading a obituary about someone I didn't know and finally I was watching Brothers and Sisters and that show always has me in tears. I swear, if I ever get pregnant I'll be a wreck!) .

But, yes, this was amazing. Rory realising it's not all about her was brilliant and changing her life to keep Jess in it was fantastic.

Writing 'mine' on each other was adorable and Rory knowing Jess was thinking of making it permanent was awesome.

And the non-proposal proposal was epic. Loved it. You must write a sequel. You must. :)

Perfect. Beautiful. Tragic. Wonderful.

I love stories where Rory finally gets over this whole thing of "what her boyfriend can do for her" and starts thinking about "what she can do for her boyfriend." (JFK was a very smart man LOL)

This was great. Made me cry a little. But it was great.

i really liked this story it was a great beggining to there new journey in this story i think this is a story that could continue as well
