This is such a well written and emotional story, well done you managed to capture this moment and write a story that teared up a lot of people, myself included.

I think...my heart just stopped, too. Gloriously well done. Thank you.

It's such a gift to be able to move people with words. Thank you for writing this little piece so well it breaks hearts. Weird thing to thank someone for, I know, but this is the beauty of reading: letting the writer take you on a journey. Even if it must be hard.

Ouch. God. This hurt, but it was meant to. And I love every word you say, your style is just beautiful. This fic does that curious thing unique to fiction, where it tears your heart to shreds and you thank it for the pain. All in all a lovely, beautifully written piece.

That was good. In a bittersweet way. You got me to cry, which, let me tell you, isn't easy.

*SOB SOB* NOOOOOO! *sob* I am finding out now how impossible it is for me to hold back tears,even in public, at such a well written story. I almost completely bauled with the red ribbon and Hawke talking to him. *sniffles*...excuse me, need to go read one of your happier HawkexFenris stories before I make a specktacle of myself. *sniff*

I cried! I love this story and I love your writing!

I don't have the words to express what this fic did to me. So beautiful, so powerful, I could swear I can feel a dagger in my heart as well.

Nope. Not okay. You aren't allowed to kill anyone anymore. It makes me cry. Nope. Hurts. *stares at heart where it's lying on the ground* That really hurt. Look what you did.

Maker. This was the most powerful and tragic piece I have ever read. My reaction is definitely similar to Varric's - just how senseless and unfair it is, how unfitting it is, how wrong it is.

Your imagery is just exquisite. You don't go crazy with it, you show enough and let the reader fill in the rest and it's perfect. It was such a little thing but, the sand shifting under her as she held him really stuck with me, almost like the world was pulling them a part when all she wanted was to cling to him. The rain and the blood and the descriptions of his dying breath was just heartbreaking. I'm going to cry again just thinking about it.

The back and forth between the death and the after stuff was superbly done. It was so nice to see Hawke finally kind of move on and then you crushed us with that ending. I can't even talk about the ending without tearing up so I'm not going to, just, it was incredible.

You had everyone's characterisation spot on as well. I loved how Aveline carried Hawke (metaphorically) how Varric spoke for her, how Anders healed etc. It matches them perfectly and the way they all grieved was also excellently done and very realistic. As others have said it was really Aveline's scenes that broke me. Just utterly heart wrenching, she knows Hawke's pain so well and the fact that she felt like she had failed yet again, just ugh!

I'm going to read something fluffy now. Have a lovely weekend xxx

So, I finally gathered the courage to read this fic. I regret it yet I do not. It was beautiful and even without glory, it was what I imagined Fenris' death to be like. However, it is exceedingly difficult to type when my eyes are swollen from tears and I feel like a part of me just died. Time to go read some fluffy Fenris/Hawke fics; I can't even feel anything anymore, it just hurts so much... I suppose I should be angry at you, because holy shit this was cruel and terrible but at the same time...real. I could feel the pain just by reading it and this was definitely well written (All those analogies, metaphors, similes, ect. though TT) The chronology of this was also absolutely brilliant. I mean, the passage right before the last one was Hawke finding her closure and I feel minutely better...and THEN THE FRIKKIN' LAST PASSAGE TORE MY HEART OUT ANEW. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME OMG. And the last thing he says "Yours-!" I can't- I need to go cry some more. Screw this, I have no more feels left to give T_T

For a while there I thought I would be able to get through the story without crying like a baby, but then I got to the scene with Aveline and I couldn't help myself. That was beautiful.

Bravo.

This one was like a vice around my throat. Very emotive.

Well I'm just going to cry and read all the rest of your DA fics I haven't read yet. You are among the best fanfic authors I've ever read, and just as a writer in general. Your characterizations and your beautiful words and...I can't even express how much I love you right now.

Oh my god... This made me cry... How could you write such a heart-wrenching story? Did you cry while you were writing it? D: This was beautifully written, I congratulate you!
