Well done, extremely well written, a must read and a first for me...maybe, a non canon connected girlfriend / partner and I've read over 250 Chuck FF stories, very different.

Wow! this is nine years old, it's amazing what you come across

Good story. Very sad and beautifully written.

I'm happy though that Chuck was able to find someone he deserved. Sarah leaving with Shaw after Final Exam, after everything else she did to him, would have been completely unforgivable in my book. Hell even in the show where she didn't leave, she was almost past redeemable in my eyes.

So here I'm happy that he was able to find someone else. And I am happy he forgave Sarah eventually but there is no way there could be a romantic future for them after she did what she did. So for those people thinking they faked their deaths and ran away together I highly doubt that. I actually prefer that not to be the case because I don't find it believable that Chuck could possibly still want to be with her.

Hope you write more Chuck in the future.

Wow. This is such a sad tale, but boy is it good. I feel sorry for our unnamed Italian waitress. Whoever she is, she deserves happiness.

very well written. i hoped for a chuck/sarah happily ever after though..

Great job! Well written, and I enjoyed the format you used with the passage of time. It was interesting to see Chuck and Sarah's relationship through the viewpoint of an outside character. I hope you will write more Chuck stories!

I loved it. Now all I want is a sequel where we see chuck and Sarah aren't really dead but they ran away together and that's what chuck was apologising for. Yes it sux for the waitress but I like my endings with chuck and Sarah making it in the end

Angsty but good. You should write more.

This was great! For a while I thought that the Italian girl was Sarah, but then I caught on when Sarah came in later. I think maybe you could have done without the mention of Shaw. That brings along a whole mythology that could have been separated from the story. Just knowing Sarah had left, and leaving it at that could have made it more poignant. Minor detail, though. this was really good.

It was a different take and all, to say the least.

You definitely set it up for a whole new story where Chuck and Sarah beoth faked their deaths and ran away together. That could be a good story right there, them running around Paraguay or something. They are trying to run from the U.S. govt. and you don't know what will happen.

With that last line about it being day 1 could be day 1 of Chuck and Sarah being together. Your writing was fine and ell-written with very few errors, if there were any at all.

Good luck with your venture into Chuck fanfiction and hope you keep writing.

Wow! Powerful, yet sad story.

You should definitely be allowed to write. In fact, I think you should write more. Please and thanks of course. But really, I truly enjoyed this piece. I'm a pretty die hard Chuck and Sarah shipper, but I liked how you went about writing this, the nameless girlfriend and in the end the Chuck and Sarah relationship. Too good. I hope you write more soon!

very nice story. It actually moved me.

You are more than allowed to write :D

Really good one-shot. The story was very believable and the characters stayed true to canon. With just a few sentences you pretty much nailed Casey, Carina, and Ellie. Well done!

You are a good writer but Rule #1 never kill Chuck or Sarah and never under any circumstances kill them both. lol

Sad but good.

That was a pretty awesome one shot, a little depressing but still very good. Loved the writing style it was descriptive and easy to imagine the scenes, it would be great to see you tackle a multi-chapter fic.

Good job XD
