I really enjoyed this fic<3

Initially I had my apprehensions cos I don't really read angst (unless they have a happy ending) & I'm glad this fic ends on such a positive and hopeful note.^^ It's a moving story on recovery<3

I also think the title fits this fic perfectly :D I'm glad Ueda remember most things in the end<3

I'm really glad you liked this! Thank you so much for giving it a try and letting me know what you thought, especially since it's not a genre you read often! ♥

This is so beautifully worded that it's heartbreaking ;______;
I love all the flashbacks and I'm glad towards the end of this fic, things get better for all of them.

It's been an awesome read and thank you for sharing with us :D

I'm so glad you found this enjoyable; especially the flashbacks - at times I really worried about how I wanted to go about implementing them into the story. Thanks so much for reading!

It felt so real, so painful at the very beginning. The tension built there was so palpable, it hurt me as much as it did the other members.

Seeing Ueda's struggle through Nakamaru's eyes, the memory loss -- and Nakamaru's own, the feeling of powerlessness -- made my heart clench. My heart also hurt at the way Nakamaru can't (won't) tell Ueda that they shared something more, not until Ueda remembers it on his own. *weeps*

The ending was so sweet, though. So hopeful. Ugh, anon-san, here's my heart -- have at it. Thank you for sharing this. ♥

Hey, you. ♥

sdfajbklhsdf so I wasn't sure if I wanted to write you angst at first, and actually coming to the decision was maybe one of the biggest difficulties I think... Fickle as I am, I kept changing my mind. >_< After reading your comment (more than once! ♥) though, I'm thankful I made this decision. ((Although I'm sorry your heart hurts.)) ((Not really, but I'll look after it well.)) ((I promise.)) I'm also really glad that the ending made up for the hurt ahaha >_< ♥

I'm so, so happy you enjoyed this. <3333333

I waited a while before sitting down to read this because from the header I knew it was going to hurt. I needed to mentally prepare myself but then I started reading it at long last and oh my lord is it beautiful and sweet and sad and good; omg, it's soooo good. I-- the beginning where the accident happens I couldn't physically deal and Nakamaru absolutely distraught was even more terrible but so well-written that i felt every line of it.

I loved how you wrote them together already, that Nakamaru sticks around, guides him step by step to find them again. I was all D': at the little memories he relived with Ueda and how very deeply it shows he loves him. The sofa moment, ugh, was the cutest and then oh man, the solo concert memory and how Ueda just gets into bed with him, with the memory latched on forefront of his mind and just kisses Nakamaru so simply. I love how you wrote it in that it's so natural with them and ugh just reading this journey broke my heart and then fixed it all over again

dsjfklha your comment seriously made me so happy, I'm so flattered. I was REALLY nervous about this, especially the structure with all the flashbacks - you really eased my mind. ♥

All the parts you picked out. <3333 I'm so glad you thought their relationship was natural too, and that there was indeed a balance between the angst and otherwise.

Thank you so much for reading, and for your wonderful comment! ♥
