NEAR... :""""((

WHY?

I really wish there was a sequel to this about Mello and Matt's life following this, with Matt's disability and whatnot. I love this story just too much!

This fic is the first to have made me cry in a long, long time. And not just a tear or two, I mean full out bawling. Damn.
I've been reading your fics ever since TSFMS (which is like the best title/song ever xD) but never really had time to review many. And may I just say that you're amazing c: I love your ideas and portrayal of the characters and your ability to tug on my heart strings. Gah. I love it, you're a great writer :)

The tone of the fic through the whole was tense and unhappy- realistic. Mello's pain was fucking palpable.

Nahhh Poor Near ;( He didnt deserve that muchh ;(((

OMG!..

loved it. Near's death was sad though. I'm really not a Near fan, but I feel bad for him. I mean, he killed himself all alone, had one grave visit, and his headstone was overgrown by a tree, forgotten by all FOREVER? A depressing end for anyone, I'd say. But other than that a happy ending. Why must every L be miserable?

this was an enjoyable story. Written nicely

X3 LOOOOVED IT! Lolz the word seaweed was used interestingly :3 Lola but not in a bad way!

-About your A/N, no worries! I know that the site can be a bit of a dill-hole sometimes and get glitched up, but that usually gets fixed. And, even if it's a day late, I'm happy to have gotten to read ze final chappie!

It was very much enjoyable, and... sadly, I am head-over-sneakers in love with your ending mentions of Near's suicide, as well as his unattended grave marker.

This whole fic has been a fun ride, adn I thank you for authoring it. XS

For a story written only for a sex scene, it was really, really cute. Matt and Mello's love was very touching and I think the cuteness of their love in this story makes me understand one of the reasons I so love this pairing! I loved that they only realised their feelings when they met again. And to have Matt in a wheelchair... I didn't see that one coming! I'm now wondering about the working of your incredible mind to relate a seaweed and a wheelchair! But the funiest is that when Matt compared the situation with a plant and when the word seaweed appeared, I thought it made sense somehow, and that your tittle was indeed well chosen, even if I found everything a bit farfetched at the same time... maybe only your writing skills could make it somehow so senseful!

I don't know what to think about Near. His story is so sad, only because he is aware of it. I wonder... would it have been different if he hadn't realised the emptiness of his life? Would he have been able to make it better without knowing what to improve? or was it that he actually didn't know what to change? He is your tragic character in your story, the one that reachs the extremes of his personality and is led to his death because of it. And as in greek tragedies, with his death (and L's) the order is back. And the oak in the end was beautiful: strong, great, that can stand alone but at the same time so weak against storms (like in La Fontaine's fable, if you've heard of it). But I think I'm starting to drift away... Anyway... I don't know what to think because Near's motive is so selfish and simple it seems unfair. To him and Matt and Mello. And so I found it a bit disturbing. Would a character as complex as Near have such a simple reason? Would he forget al his responsabilities to L? Would he grant Mello such a complete victory? But maybe that's the true genius of your story cause now that I'm writing about it I think that maybe yes, he would.

So thanks for this great story!

Aww the part before the ending was so sweet!

Interesting symbolism st the end there. Very well done. :)

This was a great story as usual.

That'S really sad...espacially Nears ending...);

But the chapter was very well wrtten so thx a lot :3

Could be bothered to login

TT OHMYGOD! I'd visit Near's grave! I'd visit it every single day for hours on end!

AND I don't even like him much!

Heh sorry,I just started crying at that and was all like Oh My Gosh poor Near even if he did hide Matt...

HARD TO BELIEVE I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM MUCH AIN'T IT? XDD

Aww. That was so cute. :) You described the emotions between them so good. :D

But I wonder... Did Near kill himself because he felt lonely after Matt left or because he realised how cruel it was to keep the two of them seperated? Um... I guess it doesn't matter now, does it? xD

The end was beautiful. :) And sad, even though I don't like Near. Maybe this sounds weird, but I always think endings with trees are sad... o.o As I said before, it's a great story. :3
