I really haven't experienced loss yet, so I find it really hard to truly empathize, to be in the same boat... But really, thank you so much for writing this.

I didn't realize I've been believing the wrong age when Alfred died (I just reread the summary and was pleasantly surprised he died at age 67).

And dreams really help us cope with our everyday stressors. They help us resolve what we can't when we're conscious. And seeing Alfred stuck in his place and can't move on unless Arthur is back in his arms... I want to cry. Fifty-five years is a very long time to wait, to live, experiencing happiness, knowing it won't be experienced ever again.

*sobs*

Oh wow...I don't even want to imagine Alfred's breakheart and disappointment after this dream. One thing is to cope with his loss, and another thing is doing it after seeing Arthur on dreams...

I really want to hug Alfred ;_;

I have got to admit, this is the most heartbreaking chapters I have ever read in this series. I still don't know if the next chapters are too, but since you said it would be a happy ending.

I am so sorry for your loss though. It is indeed, very hard.

The dream Alfred had is very precious. With Arthur there and sharing moments together. But to find out that it's just a dream really made me depressed. I feel so sorry for Alfred and it makes me want to reach out for him and tell that Arthur is always there and will never leave. To wait after sixty-seven years without Arthur by his side is pretty hard and lonely.

Now, I'll be over here crying for those two and wait until the next chapter arrives.

I am speechless right now. This was just... stunning. You never fail to break my heart.

I just read the entire story up to this point and... It's beautiful. The raw emotion in your writing is so powerful that you've reduced me to tears several times. Last year I lost two family members within three months of each other, so this story hits very hard. I'm just... Speechless. The love between these two feels so very real, even after Arthur's untimely passing.

I'm just going to bawl in a corner while I await the promised happy ending. :)
