Oh, my god, Amy. *______*

Here I was thinking that I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE HEARTBREAKING, SO I'M MORE PREPARED FOR IT.... RIGHT? wrong. ): basically I started tearing up three sections in and sobbed the rest of the way through this. The line about Arthur rolling his dice 17 times on the floor is one of my favourites - it's such a small thing, but it's really like a punch to the gut when you realize what he's doing.

“I never said it back. I never got a chance to. I kept meaning to but it didn’t seem necessary and now I can’t say it, I can’t tell you, and it’s killing me.”

“Arthur, if there’s one thing you should know about me, after everything, is that you never needed to say it back.”

aljkadjf ;_________; I'M SORRY THIS COMMENT IS SUCH AN INCOHERENT MESS, but basically I loved this and am bawling all over it. Few people can do angst like you, m'dear. ♥

OW! This is heartbreakingly sad, but oh so worth reading. I loved how you showed that this wasn't healthy, how destroying it was but at the same time completely everything that Arthur wanted.

He throws his dice along the floor seventeen times before Ariadne puts her hand on his and whispers this isn’t a dream.

My favourite line. ♥

thank you so much that's exactly what I was aiming for, trying to balance the destructive nature of it all, but equally the fact that they could be together again. :):) thank you so much for reading :)

[oh_so_blase]

to tell you the truth, i didn't want to read this. i knew it'd be heartbreaking and i'd end up crying my eyes out and i didn't want to deal with that. but, i'm weak against fics so i read it. and i am crying. but it is so beautiful. your writing is brilliant and you've truly done a great job writing this fic/theme.

[mellaithwen]

I'm so glad you did read it! Though I completely understand why you wouldn't want to :):) thanks so much!!

Go and break our hearts, why don't you... *sniff* Beautifully done.

[mellaithwen]

I absolutly love that, by letting us see how Eames' ...shade? Eames' shad develop and how Arthur succumbed to it, it gave us an idea of how Cobb could have fallen as well.

But overall? Wonderful. ;~;
