This was entirely UNNECESSARY. I heeded the warnings and reviews and yet I could not keep myself from soaking the pillow because I UGLY CRIED for 2/3 of it. Yes, like everything you write, this was well done, but really? Why you gotta do that to us!?

i know this story is old but recently i have been getting this show and oh god you made me cry. i never cry over angst/tragedy stuff but you did it. this is such a beautiful story. thank you so much for writing this

so, i don’t know if you still keep alerts on for this account, but earlier today i remembered this fic. i was lazing around, and for some reason, remembered this old fic that i read and reread so many times years ago that always made me cry like a child, but was so beautifully written that i always went back to read it again. it took me nearly an hour to remember enough about this piece to track it down, but i can confirm that now, nearly in 2018, it still makes me cry like a baby.

there aren’t many pieces of writing that have left as much of a mark on me as this has. its so incredibly beautiful in some awful, heartbreaking way. if i’m truthful, its probably colored the way i’ve been writing oliver for years. the way he’s captured here- that raw, heartfelt energy- it gets me so good. i could ramble on for DECADES about this, but it’ll all really come down to me saying over and over that i really, really love this. thank you for ripping me apart a few years ago and now too.

Yes well thanks I cried from beginning to end. It was beautifully written.

this made me sob, hard to get me to cry but this broke my heart. kind of want to read about the aftermath though.

oh man this hurts so good and oh wow the way you paralleled it with Malcolm's story is great

I've read this a few times and i cried every one if those times

You suck!
You made me cry…a lot
I hate you !
No one made me cry like that from a one shot before

You know you've just read a really good story when in 4,000 words you're almost tears and I definitely had to reach for a tissue box.

This is beautifully written and god it hurts which is proof of just how well it is written because if it wasn't then I'd be rolling my eyes rather than blinking back tears. I love the way you've crafted every sequence; the argument about her car, the invitation home, the stages of realising they won't make it, the promises - all of it felt so genuine, with their argument as funny as her final 'oliver' was heart breaking.

Oh my god I am laying on my bed, supposed to be asleep, and crying my eyes out. Like seriously, that was so beautiful and so painful and now I have to go read the follow up and probably cry some more and I am simultaneously hating you and praising you at this moment. D:

Amazing! Just like you I cried A LOT too!

UGH you have physically pained me with this! It's so well-written and I hate the tears on my face but love that this is so amazing. Thank you for this! Fantastic job.

Love the story, really had me crying

Sequel ?

i laughed in the beginning because Felicity's rambles are just the best. And then I cried, it's just so heartbreaking.
