I can only begin to describe how this made me feel. It was like ... It is like reading a complete catalogue of what I felt and what I still feel about the end of my first (and only) relationship. While the ending was not as catastrophic as Lydia's sex tape, the broken trust you've very clearly articulated is very well done ... because I know how it felt like. This is what I've been looking for, for all my years on this website. Thank you.

I'm late to the party, but I have to say that this was fantastic. I was re-watching LBD yesterday to fuel my addiction further now that it's ended, and I saw (after research) that MK had talked about this on her tumblr towards the end of the show last year, so when I read this... wow. This is truly incredible, and you've captured the essence of the aftermath of that relationship nearly flawlessly. Thank you so much for writing this, it's beautiful.

This was beautiful. Extremely well written, you have a real talent, and I really love reading your fanfictions. You capture the essence of characters so well, that I can actually feel what they are feeling rather than just reading about it. If you ever write a book, please let me know cause I will run to the nearest bookstore and buy it. You are amazing.

thank you.

Oh my goodness this was so incredibly beautiful! I don't have words. I loved it!

i'm crying right now.
thank you for showing lydia like this.
complex. raw. real.
thank you.

wow...I mean it is really easy to write a fic abusing George and Lydia years later after the incident being well adjusted but your Lydia right after the sex tape is just...wow...I love how realistically you showed George and Lydia here, it was just wow

I really hope you write more LBD fics in the future! :D

( I also found it amusing that even though you wrote this in Janurary, LBD is over and it was never really cannon balled )

Oh and Mary Kate Wiles reblogged this, just thought you would want to know )

Wow. This is incredible. I thought I "got" Lydia before reading this but now I feel like I understand her so much more. Just amazing.

I loved it!

Lydia was one of my favorite characters in the LBD (probably my favorite, actually, since there weren't too many characters). You capture her so well here!

This is absolutely beautiful and stunning and captures that harsh breakup heartbreak perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

Oops! Accidentally sent that! :) Anyway, could you please Please please update Strange Attractors? Your writing style was breathtaking and your romance was faint worthy! I feel selfish asking this because I'm sure it takes a ling time to write one chapter, but I just had to take a stab at it and ask (beg really)! Thanks for all your faithful chapters-ai've re read it about 5 times!

Not to be irritating and post on the wrong story, but could you please please

Very interesting. I like the intensity and details, even if neither Lydia nor George are my favorite, and your prose style is quite nice!

This really is one of your most beautiful LBD pieces. And I know how you feel about all of the characters involved, which I'm sure colors my perception a bit but...well, the way you paint the picture of their relationship is more interesting to me than what the show actually gave us.

I liked the explanation of why Lydia didn't "do" relationships...it makes sense, and is sad when you consider where this one ended up. I of course love the idea of Lydia remembering the good things but also recognizing the signs that something is amiss. And also Darcy's automaton way of looking at how George operates (talk about the lady protesting too much) was of course a highlight for me.

I thought this was also a nice length-the writing was concise and the structure of it (memories juxtaposed with her watching the sunrise) really worked for me. It was a well-constructed piece of writing about a character you know I'm...mixed on. Bonus: its canon compliant with none of the classlessness of what actually happened.

Some really nice turns of phrase in there, too. I like the candy and sparkles analogy. Anyways, good work even if this is a totes depressing tragville fic.

Beautiful.
