This is my second time reading this through. The first time I cried because it was such a beautiful story with incredible writing, the second time I cried was because this also strengthened my testimony of God. It’s a little funny I found that in a Death Note fan fiction, but thank you nonetheless. I loved this both times.

This was very lovely! I am agnostic and as I was reading I found myself kind of edging away from the Christian themes in here but I found I could appreciate the story for the messages about forgiveness and love that you so eloquently and beautifully embedded in this story. I really really enjoyed your characterizations of all of the characters and I didn’t think they were OOC at all. I found myself wishing that this was what actually happened in canon lol. This story is very powerful and so magnificently written. I loved it a lot. Thank you for sharing!

Not once did i think that the answer to Light’s brain cancer would be some very accurately depicted Londoners (I would know, born and bred London gal myself) and God. I’m not religious, and usually i scoff at any modern books and fanfics that try to bring God into the plot, but you managed extremely realistically and i commend you for that. L’s slow faith in Christianity was completely natural and it flowed very well! And the miraculous recovery was too!

Well, that was certainly a wild ride.

I don’t know how you managed to turn Death Note of all things into a feel-good Christian story about finding God, but you certainly did it.

I’m at a bit of a lost on how to view this story. On one hand, it is very well written and the the emotional parts feel real. You got me to practically read all 14 chapters in one sitting. On the other hand, L and Light’s characterizations are so far from how I view them that it makes all their actions ridiculously hilarious to me. So I’m mixed between being emotionally invested and laughing my ass off.

Here it is. The few sentences into the authors note and I’m already getting feels again. This is my fourth time reading over the past few years, but it hits me the same way everytime. Marvilious. Props to you forever for writing this masterpiece.

Am probably in the minority but i'd have liked for Light to renounce being Kira while he was Kira. Idk that bet just didn't do it for me. And since L had been asking Light for action to prove his love, this would have done that. Light making that decision without his Kira memories was meh.

The ending was also abit anti climatic. Listen am a christian and i do believe in miracles. However, for this universe i'd have appreciated it more if you had for instance used the shinigami to sort out that and enforced some new rule that deals with terminal disease.

Other than that, this was beautiful writing and i read it all in one sitting. I like your way with words and how you mostly show instead of tell us readers how to feel. Thank you for writing this!

I know this story is super old and you probably don't even check the comments anymore, but I wanted to write this anyway. I first read this around 3 years ago, and it was one of the first stories that resonated with me. A few days ago my friend and I were talking about the Iliad and the Odyssey, and I immediately thought back to this. I decided to reread it again in honor of Easter, given its religious message. It managed to astound me a second time; it was just as well written and attention capturing as I remembered. I admire your devotion to your religion, and even after claiming to be atheist for years I now find myself questioning if my assumptions were wrong after reading this. Thank you for this, and I hope that you're doing well in whatever you're pursuing.

This is the first religion-centered fanfiction I have ever read, but I think you may have converted me! The story was extremely well-written and probably my favorite DN fanfiction.

Interesting story overall, but the ending... sudden and kind of.. dumb

I read this instead of sleeping, and I am so happy because this ended so beautifully and I'm smiling through my tears. It's just - wow, I love this.

I've read this fic a lot of times.
It's an awesome read.

Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece, blueberry-valentine.

what

IM AN ATHEIST AND I KNOW FUCK ALL ABOUT GOD N JESUS BUT THIS FIC MADE ME A CHRISTIAN PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH

I have to be very honest, since I know about a kid with brain cancer and some friends know him (the kid is seven by the way), I didn't read the story completely because it's a bit depressing (it totally wasn't because I'm lazy, duh). I also don't like a lot the idea of a genius becoming less smart. It just makes me cringe to think what would I do if I were stupid, yes I'd be happy, but I prefer to understand the world even if it makes me feel bad. I'm blabbering. Point is, I didn't read the story completely, so my opinion will probably be wrong.

I know it's a bit dark, but I believe Light should have died. It makes the story seem original, and believe me when I say no-one will expect him dying and will react ten times more to something unexpected than a happy ending. Besides, In reality, Light would barely live three years more, let alone the rest of his life.

I also feel L is a bit OOC, in religion terms. L being a genius would know a lot of stuff in this category, considering he thinks a lot about things Watari does or tells him. He would figure out stuff: Why would god let their creations know what a perfect world is but not let them achieve it? So they shed blood like Kira did? So we can suffer?
The probability of a higher power existing is very high, but the probability of them making or caring for humans is very low, 1/infinite to be exact, since there are an infinite amount of things a god could create and be attached to. Also if there was a god, the probability of him/her caring about L if he existed, would be 1/7.5 billion (unless he was omniscient). He would also question which religion is the correct one even if Watari told him christianity is the correct one. And lets say L was stupid and didn't think of this, what about all the shit he went through? Would god punish him for wanting justice? Does that prove that it was his fault A killed himself? That every case he had where inocents died, it was his fault? And if not, why would god let all the things L has seen in his line of work (murders, suicide, rape, torture and what not) happen? Because we deserve them? Because L deserved them?

But Ohhh my goodness, your writing style is gorgeous. I was so sucked in some parts I could practically see the dream L had. It catches the audience and leads through the story. I loooooved it. I especially liked how you could manage to make believeable POV s, and telling what L and Light were thinking. And also, you have no idea how glad I was someone did her research and could portray real life data in this cancer adventure.

But remember, I skimmed through most chapters, so I may be wrong. Don't take me seriously XD.
(Man, this is officially the longest review I have made)
Good work!

I thought lights dream sounded like a bad drug trip
