szabo.alexandra1991 chapter 17 . 2/14 I loved it soo fricking much. thank you |
MysticalForever chapter 17 . 1/27 I just love this story. Reread it many times and it hasn't yet stopped touching my heart and making my emotions race. It deserves more love and attention than it is getting... Maybe because Peter Pan isn't such a popular fandom but people don't know what they're missing! Love, love, love this story... Thank you so much for writing it, onecelestialbeing. :) |

Leefa chapter 17 . 3/9/2019 Wow. I loved it. Didn’t expect it to be such sweet story. Fav story must read |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 17 . 12/9/2018 I love that Wendy returns to the real world and makes a life for herself there in this story. That way, it's not simply a matter of James rescuing her from all her problems and their living out their days in Neverland (although obviously his money and getting rid of Gavin were a big help) - it's also Wendy figuring out what she wants. I lol'ed so hard at John and Michael's reactions to seeing Hook again, you've crafted such a perfect ending for them. Wonderful work. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 11 . 12/3/2018 I enjoyed this chapter more than I'd expected. Although there's an element of recovering from the last chapter, that's not the entire focus and they aren't swimming in angst. I like Hook's guilt in telling Wendy about the whore he was with in port, the way he reassures her that she meant nothing and that his crew don't know what happened. I am a bit skeptic (and have been before in this story) that Hook can't brush his hair, shave, etc. because of his missing hand. I would think by now he would've adapted and found ways to do things one-handed, not been rendered so dependent for the rest of his life. I love that Wendy goes back to telling stories to Paulie and the rest of the crew, and I'm curious to see what happens when they reach "that wretched island"! |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 10 . 12/3/2018 I find rape/attempted rape a very overused plot device in fanfiction. I was hoping that the story wouldn't go in this direction. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 9 . 11/29/2018 Man, what an intense chapter, full of unexpected twists. Wendy's confusion near the beginning made me feel so embarrassed for her, and it's a good way to show how sheltered she's been until now. I freakin' love the image of her telling stories to Smee and Paulie, just like she did with the Lost Boys - so funny and cute. And what a sad misunderstanding between Hook and Wendy at the end. I love how naturally you write so many different strong emotions between them - Wendy's jealousy and heartbreak when she sees them together, Hook babbling drunk and coming too close to raping her, his attempts to apologize. Really can't wait to see what happens next. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 8 . 11/26/2018 Nice little dose of drama with Wendy encountering the huge pirate outside Hook's cabin. I imagine he runs too tight of a ship with his crew for them to try anything with Wendy. I love that he buys her some nice dresses here, although it was a bit confusing to see that they've apparently sailed out of Neverland. It's ironic that Hook gets so hot and bothered by her that he has to keep his distance, but Wendy misreads it as him being mad at her. They do move a bit faster here than I'd expected, but ooh, that "Call me by my name" line made me go a little weak in the knees. I expect they're in for an awkward morning-after, though. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 7 . 11/25/2018 This was another great chapter. I like how you're giving Wendy a mix of different emotions towards Hook. He's still cordial to her, speaks French, and plays the piano, but he's also short, temperamental, and a little scary. They're both clearly unprepared for feeling these feelings for each other. Nice mention of the "damned harness" that holds his hook in place and its similarity to Wendy's corset. Now that Wendy's sight is recovering, I look forward to seeing her do something more than around Hook's cabin. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 6 . 11/24/2018 Ooh, you are so clever to have Wendy be blinded by a poisonous flower. Perfect plot device because now she can't see (so she has to hold on to Hook) and she's all helpless (so he has to take care of her). I love the direction that this chapter takes. Hook's continued cordiality and competence in helping Wendy is a perfect contrast to Peter's behavior. (Although I do feel kinda bad for Peter when Hook and Wendy both tell him to get lost. I don't think the kid tries to be so obnoxious, he's just never been taught any better.) Nice touch how she calls him James instead of Hook near the end - maybe he'll start calling her Wendy soon? Smee's "mother hen" behavior is a nice touch, too; he can be such a fun character when done well. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 5 . 11/24/2018 Haha, well, that reunion with Peter went how I was expecting. You do a good job here at highlighting all his less-than-likeable qualities: his forgetfulness, lack of attention span, constant energy and noise level. I also love that you still have Tinkerbell be so evil here, because a lot of takes on Peter Pan forget about that. But at least not all the Neverland fairies are like that. I have a feeling Hook will be pretty amused by the love lost between Peter and Wendy. |
rebecca-in-blue chapter 4 . 11/23/2018 Another great chapter. I really *love* the way you write Hook's dialogue here, how he's so well-spoken and elegant-sounding but so bored and detached at the same time. I completely heard it in Jason Isaac's voice. I love the way he stays one step ahead of Wendy, calmly saying that he didn't touch her while she was unconscious, pointing out that he already had reason to hate Pan when she arrived on the island, reminding her that she's naked when she tries to leave. And I love that him saying he doesn't care what she does seems to annoy her most, haha. I'm so curious to see if she'll meet Peter again in the next chapter and how their reunion might go. No doubt it'll be a nasty shock for him to see him so much older. Tiny criticism for that opening chapter, which seems too heavy on the adverbs. I'd suggest editing out a few. |
