Cry cry cry, this one always makes me weep. Omg! *HEARTCLENCH OF DOOM*

Ridiculous feedback of sorts, but, it's too good for me to do it justice! I'm just so in awe of it.

I'd forgotten how powerful Before the Weight Can Leave the Air" was; sparse and harshly unforgiving.

But this... you've turned it around completely and made something that both celebrates and mourns time's passing, and I just...

Damn. I shouldn't have read this at work.

*sniff*

My first thought on reading the original story was that I wanted to undo the breakup, but I didn't think remix rules would let me take that much of a liberty... and then I thought of telling the story backward as a way of getting them back together. But then they'd still 'break up' and eventually unmeet each other. Still, it got me started.

Sorry you're sniffly, but I hope it's a good kind of sniffly! *squidges*

This is amazing writing. I don't know how you could do this.

I wouldn't call it heart-wrenching, though, more like thought-provoking.

Very well done.
