Just found this last night & read it all in one go! It was absolutely fantastic! I was most certainly fist pumping the air when they got Jefferson out of the asylum & grinned widely at the exchange between Regina & Mr. Gold
Quite fascinating how you managed to put a Victorian era edge to everything & how perfectly it fits! Definitely going into the favorites folder!

I loved this so much it brought tears to my eyes

This was genuinely lovely! I loved your characterization and the subtle nods to the Once Upon a Time story, and I couldn't put it down. Thank you.

I felt really stupid in the beginning because the Darlings sounded so familiar but I couldn't seem to place it, and it wasn't until Wendy was mention, and I actually smacked my forehead in response at the obvious brain-fart. lol.
It was really cool how you added in the Storybrooke characters and the relationship they each had regarding both Emma and Jefferson.
What at amazing AU, made ever more so by writing it in the hardships of a Victorian. A perfect tumbling of Romance and Drama
I really love this pairing and I loved this fic.
I like-a it a-lot! Thank you so much for writing it! :)

okay this is seriously one of my top 5 favorite fanfics for OUAT! I'm obsessed with the Victorian Era & I wholeheartedly enjoyed this amazing AU! You're so creative & I love how you intertwined The Darlings, The Banks family & even Alice! I wish I could buy a physical book copy of this!

a very pleasant afternoon read. I enjoyed it immensely.

Great story! I think you did such a good job and keeping Jefferson's condition and the struggles that went with it realistic while giving an undeniably sweet core to it. And that last line about not living happily ever after, but living life happily was so fitting and poignant. Thank you for taking the time to write this up, and best of luck in your future endeavors!

I must say, I'm not one for shipping and only came here for Jefferson, but I really enjoyed this story! Very well written, the setting was believable (I can't think of a better word) and an entertaining story. I'm glad I came across this story. Well done!

I absolutely loved reading this: I'm so glad you continued this from just one chapter. The Victorian setting and OUAT characters worked perfectly.

I loved it so much!

I really like this chapter! The funny thing is that I am reading Jane Eyre right now! I love that book so much! This is the best Madswan fic I have ever read!

ahhhhh I can't wait!

This story is just too wonderful. I have always thought Jefferson was very Mr. Rochester-esque, and you write each character so beautifully. I await the next chapter with baited breath. Here's to hoping they make it down the aisle without too much trouble ;)

Not too much drama please! I loved this chapter so much! I can't believe he asked her! Please update soon! :D

Me again! :) I just read the whole story again! Please continue! I would love to find out what happens next!
