It's over. After all we've been through, it's finally over. I haven't felt like this since the ending of the Harry Potter era D:
This has to be the best thing I've ever read. From the start of Ordinary, to the end of Recovery, I've been through it all with you, with THEM...
Sorry if I'm being slightly over-dramatic about this. This story meant a lot to me. Plus, it was pretty epic :P
Does it make me a bad person if I prefer this ending to the one you had planned? Angst over recovery (Get the pun?), every time :D
Please, keep writing things like this Jackie. Keep messing up innocent people's emotions and feels. xD

"But these two men, who loved and fought and cried so much, these two remarkable friends who used their last words to apologize, to mourn, to love, were by no means ordinary. As no one truly is."

I am a sobbing wreck right now. I haven't cried this much since I read THROAM; I rarely cry at fiction but this series felt so real and so perfect.

After reading A/N4, I am glad you chose this ending. The idea of Anthony being with Kalel after all this trauma just doesn't sit right in my heart.

I love this series. It is the best Ianthony series I have ever read and I am so glad that I found it when I did. Your writing quality is utterly magnificent and I have been reduced to tears several times now.

I almost don't want it to end. I want them to be together so badly because a series like this doesn't need flashy smut or cheesy drama to grab people's interest. It's perfect the way it is. It stole my heart and broke it but I still can't stop loving it.

Lastly, I know that the story isn't real, but:

R.I.P. Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla

Oh Jackie.
It was one of the most well written pieces I have ever read.
I can't believe that its over. After being here from day one I feel like a small part of my life has gone, I hate it when amazing fics end, but, truth be told they all have to at some point.

It honestly is something that will resonate with me for a very long time, I remember in the beginning, looking forward to Sundays and Wednesdays for the latest chapter. I still can't believe it's over.
The ending was beautiful.
I am so proud of what you have achieved, this shows what amazing talent, dedication and commitment and in all honesty, looking back, if it were any two characters within the plot, it would still have the same impact as it does being Ianthony.

You should be very proud of yourself.
I hope you will post again, but if not you have to let me hit you up on twitter or instagram or something!
Peace out Jackie, you're an inspiration

This is the best thing on here I have ever read, seriously, Ordinary and Recovery together were just the most wonderful, beautiful pieces of writing I have ever read.
Although my heart is now completely broken, I prefer this ending to the longer one.
I regret leaving this website for a while because I wasn't there everytime you updated and I'm reading this a month later than I should have been, but better late than never!
I'm proud of you for writing something this good, I hope you go on to do great things. <3 :]

[jackiestolz]

thank you so, so much. and that's alright, better late than never is right. thank you very much again :)
