So. Much. Feeeeeelings! HNNGHH
Love the imagery of Mark touching Eduardo without even thinking about it. This was so good!

[ellot]

thank you so much! oh man, i'll admit to being worried that the fic would descend into telenovela amounts of feelings. so i'm really glad you liked it. :D

This was so brilliant- everything about it. The words you choose, the style you write in, how everything flowed together- seriously brilliant. <3

[mellamonaranja]

Creepin all up in yo' comment space.

[girl_in_stripes]

lmfao <3 I know, my icon sort of stands out, doesn't it xD <3

[mellamonaranja]

Ahaha. It really does. I was just scrollin' down, scrollin', 'OH HEY IT'S CARLY'. <3

[xsunflowers]

Wow, simply wow!
The perfection of this story makes a continuation necessary and required :)
(Yet a non-continuation would leave a lot to imagination too :))

[ellot]

aw, thank you so much. :D we'll see about a potential continuation but i kind of feel that this one almost closes itself off. if i did continue it, the next story would be in a different style -- at least in times of tone and the flashbacks work.

[ellot]

* in terms of tone and how the flashbacks work. (i think staring at books for too long has messed with my brain.)

[salvadore_hart]

I really enjoyed reading this, the melancholy but sweet tone is wonderful (and really reminiscent of the Marina song - which I'm now in love with btw)
I don't know if you wrote in all lowercase with a purpose or just-because (some writers of this fandom seem to do so whenever expressing Mark-pov) but it worked extremely well for the flow.
And I loved the last scene, the fact that Eduardo waited around for who knows how long and the note making the story semi-circular.

[ellot]

oh my god, that song is amazing, isn't it? i think i first heard after someone mentioned it in the inception fandom. but it may have been a friend irl. (i tend to have a bad memory for these things.) what really matters is, i heard the song and there are times now that i just listen to it five times or more in a row. you should check out more of her music, if you haven't. :D

i'm really glad you liked that the tone came off as slightly sweet. ♥ and yeah, i write in lowercase just because. i like the uniformity of it, i guess. :P i tend to go a bit crazy of circularity so i'm glad you liked it. thanks so much!

(ps. BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! sorry.)

[salvadore_hart]

I know exactly what you mean, I must have listened to it half a dozen times :P I've heard "Oh No!" but I'm going to have to listened to some more of them.

Oh Brad <3

Absolutely lovely. This was pure perfection from start to finish.

[ellot]

thank you so much! ♥ really, i can't tell you how much this comment means to me. i'm really glad you liked it.
