YES I CRIED A LOT WHYYYY IS THIS SO BEAUTIFUL?! I LOVE THIS IT'S SO SAD AND PRECIOUS GAWD

I cried my eyes out, still crying as I'm writing this!

Thank you!

It is so refreshing to see something so well written from time to time, especially when I feel the need to discharge my negative emotions.

This piece is a lovely composition, however common the story-line may be, your way of writing it gave a certain flavor that, at 1:49 a.m., really soothed these bloodshot eyes of mine.

Again, thank you :)

God Damnit, I cried. You know how hard it is to get me to cry?! I laugh during torture scenes, for Christs sake! I honestly thought that Alfred was gonna take the pills with him... It's what I would do in that situation. My eyes started getting bleary at the BTT scene. I started blinking rapidly at the Hungary one. When his family came over, I cracked. I cried. Damn you. Good day, Madam...

BBWAAAA!, Bloody hell! I can't stop crying! *sons all over the place*

Aw, I'm glad that after Arthur's death, Alfred wasn't depressed or withdrawn. I can imagine how much he loved Arthur to the point where he doesn't find another lover.

A tragic bittersweet ending. Ah, I love/hate angst so much.

YOUR HOPE IS DASHED

I am crying so hard right now. I'm trying to keep my wracking sobs down to a minimum so I don't wake up my family, but it's a losing battle.

I'm serious. It's been a long, long time since a work of fiction had me sobbing this hard. It touched me so deeply... and resonated with many parts of my life. One of my best friends had cystic fibrosis. While her death was somewhat of a surprise-I'd naively expected her to recover as she always did, blithely trying to ignore how much more serious rejecting her lung transplant was than her lungs collapsing-but living with a terminal illness like that... she was only 16. And my great aunt died recently at age 92... I didn't know her that well, but at her funeral, her husband... they'd been married since before the war, and the grief rolling off him was... crushing. From seeing him, and also my own experience when my boyfriend of 5 years was in an accident... "he's a huge part of me now and losing him would be losing a piece of myself" was the way I put it.

I dunno. I'm just trying to express to you how deeply this has affected me and how wonderful the writing was.

I can understand why you labelled it "angst" instead of "tragedy", because it was a fairly optimistic ending, but I would have preferred fair warning. It's romance/tragedy regardless of the ending.

When it talked about how he could eventually look through the pictures without wanting to cry... it took me almost three years to be able to talk about my friend without tears pouring down my face. I'd say I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my bf, but that's why I'm crying now isn't it? Because I am imagining it.

Sorry for the long and rambing review... at least I've stopped sobbing now... ;_;

This was one of the most beautiful and poetic stories I have read in this fandom. Alas, it was bittersweet, and I could not escape the tears at the end of the story. Arthur and Alfred were perfect, so in-character, so aware of each other... one can only hope to have a relationship like their own. I really liked the fact Alfred carried the torch with Arthur's story and treatment of brain tumours. You are a very good writer, I will definitely give you that.:)

Mein gott. Tears are rolling down my face.

You made my day, Awesome.

ooooh my god i completely lost it at the end. i've never flat out cried from reading a fanfiction before. maybe like a tear or two but never this. soooo unbearably sad and amazing.

... i sat there for 5 minuets before i could think of something to write about this fic. that doesn't normally happen. you, my friend, have talent. it is not often that you can come across an angst fic that isn't full of horribly done drama or finishes to quickly to have any lasting impact. yours is different. it followed through the entire process, showing how someone would actually deal with something like this, instead of just skipping to the ending. you made it seem real. that's the most important thing. this was real to me. and i love you for it! thank you so much for writing this and DON'T YOU EVER STOP or i will find you. seriously. good luck in everything~

This was..one of the most beautiful and at the same time sad stories, that I've ever read.

The words you used. The lovely descriptions. The way Arthur and Alfred interacted and just..everything altogether was great. Even perfect.

I have to admit that I even started crying.

I'm glad that I found this fanfiction.

;_; My tears... you have them all.

That was just lovely and heart-breaking. 'He is no longer just Alfred, he is more- he is part of a larger being, Alfred-and-Arthur, because he and Arthur fit together perfectly' is my favourite line. Your writing is wonderful. I love how Alfred's decided to immerse himself in writing after Arthur's gone. The detail about Arthur's family and friends was quite upsetting. I really enjoyed reading this. :)

This is absolutely positively wonderful. I'm in tears over this. Just the pure emotion of it all, it makes me cry so much. You did a fantastic job writing this.

I DID cry. That was so amazingly wonderful. AMAZING.

Bones! Love that show!

THIS. Made me cry. Good story too. oh and I completely love Arthur's story.
