Oh, god, what can I even say to this.

Thank you so much - for reading and taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment even whilst being upset. I'm sorry you were crying (I know that's sort of silly, but can't help but feel bad) and I definitely empathise with the dreams. In my case, I tend to only remember the nightmares when waking up and that feeling of disorientation and distress lingers for days, which is horrible.

You made me cry! temperance22705 July 31 2011, 06:14:22 UTC

This was amazing! It had a happy ending, but man did it kill me to get to it. Beautifully done.

I'm sorry about the crying. But sort of honoured too, if that makes sense, that this was able to generate such emotion.

Thanks so much for reading and leaving a comment. It's encouraging to know that people found this okay or worthwhile despite the tough subject matter. Thank you :)

And, to be honest, I'm not sure I could have gone through with this if it weren't specified to be a dream in the prompt. I just...yeah. This was hard enough, you know?

Terrifying and fantastic and brilliant. Thank you for this.

Not at all, thank you for reading and commenting.

Oh my god this was beautiful and heart wrenching. I cried so hard! I have been in Eames shoes and the way you captured it is so raw and real... wow.

iri_descent August 1 2011, 21:10:35 UTC

I'm sorry to hear that you've had a similar experience. I just...yeah, can't even begin to fathom how difficult and awful that must have been in reality.

Thank you so much for taking a chance on a story that hits so close to home. I think that's very brave of you. I'm really glad and relieved that it came through as honest and believable. Thank you, that's the best feedback I could hope for.

Oh THANK GOD you've de-anoned so now I can properly rec you.

I actually get parts of this fic stuck in my head sometimes and have trouble thinking about anything else; it is that good.

Again, thank you for writing this and bravo to you for having the guts to write it and write it so realistically.

Oh, thank you so much. Ack, I don't even know what to say except thank you and I'm really thrilled that you liked it. Wow, I'm so lame.

Honestly, I was quite afraid of de-anoning, after being anon for so long and given the sensitive nature of this fic. So thank you for such a kind and generous comment, it made me smile and feel somewhat less anxious.
