Yeah, so I'm tearing up like someone's cutting an onion nearby and I'm in a public library which makes it all even worse but gosh. Barely made it through Part 2. Who knew it was this hard to read when so many tears are in the way? Wardo and Mark ;_;
I thought at times, Wardo acted really out of character in Part 1, but I forgive you because you broke my heart. Wait, that makes no sense.
Anyways, extremely well-written. You knew exactly which heartstrings to pull and the "Eduardo is Facebook" ending might sound cheesy out of context but it is the most gut-wrenching thing and excuse me as I become more and more incoherent

You made me cry. You made me cry and laugh at the same time. I was going 'nononononono' the whole second half the second part.
Also, you're writing is gorgeous and lovely and the parallels you followed as if you were rewriting the movie is spectacularly done. Just mind-blowing.
I am in actual physical pain. Like, coiled and crying.
This was POWERFUL. It was fantastic, it was real, it was beautiful. I loved Eduardo as the robot, I loved that it was a personality construct and not a "love" command because love cannot be coded. I loved Wardo's ultimate sacrifice and how Mark almost could not bring himself to do it.
It hurts so badly though. It hurts. The end, where he's entwined with the other great love of Mark's life but he's part of the website in that he can never hold Mark again -- I'm going to sob over it forever.
Jesus wow. This is one of the best things. I just wanted to tell you because I had to, because it affected me so badly that I've been crying for the last fifteen minutes reading it. You KILLED. Well done. ♥
I read this on Monday night and am still so haunted by it. The summary couldn't have been more misleading -- I went into this expecting total crack so all my defenses were down and this story just... blew my chest right open and I was so not prepared for any of it and there was honestly a point where I started pushing my laptop away amidst all the sobbing because self-preservation and I'M STILL KIND OF MAD AT YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME. But not really at all because I actually think this is soul-crushingly perfect and I even gave it a rec on my Tumblr, which I have never officially done for any fics before. Thank you for sharing this story, and for having the courage to end it the way you did; as much as I always instinctively wish to see this pair end up together, a HEA here would have compromised so much of what makes this so powerfully compelling.
