Wow, just wow!!

I've been away for a few days, so only just had a chance to catch up on the last few chapters. Going back a couple to the chapter where we see several key events from Adam's perspective - I really liked how you did that, especially since we'd already seen all those events from another character's point of view already. Poor Adam, throughout that chapter I wanted to step into the story and just hug him :( :(

And what a brilliant ending! I'm so glad he managed to get that closure, and that everybody affected could re-united with him at that very spot where the incident happened and celebrate how they've all moved on and become stronger. Awww, I really liked this story and sad that it is no more! But I plan on reading that old fic of yours you recommended soon to fill my fic-void!

BTW, thanks for your last PM... it's been a busy few days but I'm gonna work on my story plan more over the next couple of days and get back to you soon. Thanks for all your advice so far :) :)

Hey bb!

So glad that you liked these final parts. I was really worried that my attempt at ying things together and actually giving it a happy ending wouldn't work so it means a lot to know that you thought it did :D

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with your story, it really does sound incredibly interesting :D

A nice ending.... I'm glad that they all made it through!!

[pumpkinriver]

Thank you! :D

Okay, so there's a late reply and then there's this!!! I've only just noticed this comment :S

It really means a lot that you found the ending 'satisfying' and that you felt it worked and completed the story. THank you so much for coming on the journey and sticking with it even though I know at times it took a while for things to fall into place. :)

Standing O. A fantastic piece of writing. I loved the way you told this, interweaving the past and the present. It seemed much more powerful and intense as you flashed from scene to scene and finally showed us the attack.
I felt my skin crawling as I envisened what it would be like to have that degrading episode splashed across the media. How shaming it would feel and how it would take enormous strength to get over it.
Also the love between Kris and Adam was palpable and for once it didn't need to be sexual (and that's a first).
This was just all round an outstanding story. Thank you for it.

Thank you so much! I really thought long and hard about the multi timeline aspect of it and if it would be too confusing so it means a lot that you think it added to the power and intensity. I really wanted people to see the implications of the attack before the attack itself because I was trying to place the emphasis on the repercusions and after effects.

It also means a lot that you thought the relationship worked by staying a friendship. To be honest I wasn't sure it would stay platonic when I started but it just felt more honest that way.

Thank you so much for reading it, and for commenting :). It really does mean a lot to me to know your thoughts on it (espcially this story) so thank you for telling me :)

This was a very compelling story and I am glad you re-posted it at Kradam_AI. I missed this first time around and would have been sad not to have a chance to read this story.

I found it very interesting in style. I liked that it was out of order. It made perfect sense to be that way. I was a challenged story with a very serious subject matter which you handled in a very amazing and real way.

So even though I'm late to the party I'm glad I got the chance.

Thank you so much. I was wary about re-posting it but some people had suggested that I should and it got so few readers first time round I thought why not!

It's great to hear that you liked the style because it became such an integral part when writing it. And to know that you thought the subject matter was handled well really means a lot. I know a lot of people wouldn't touch writing or reading this subject with a ten foot barge pole but it was something that wouldn't leave me alone when it got stuck in my head. But I was worried how people would view it so your comment really means a lot to read.

Thank you for so much for reading and commenting :)
