You'd think I would've learned by now not to read this fic in class, but, uh. I haven't.

This completely broke my heart, I was so hoping Gerard wouldn't die but T.T omg. I don't even know how to describe how I feel right now, or how much I love this story. I've read it from the day the first chapter was posted and I'm so sad that it's over. I just. Fffff.

Geraaaaaaaaaaaaard T.T

You know, even before I read this comment I checked and noted that you had been reading since the very beginning and then you go and post this and mention it and it makes me so damn impressed. You are a legend. Seriously. Thank you.

Ok, so last night I was sitting wondering if you were going to post an epilogue and when I got home from college it was here.
Ok, so, I don't know whether I love or hate you right now.
I thought (I was so sure!) that maybe Gerard didn't die, like, it would turn out he was crazy and would wake up and they would all be gone and he and Frank would live happily ever after.
BUT OH NO!

I won't lie, my stomach dropped when Maes was wearing the gloves. I actually felt sick...but then, I realise it was quite sweet. Like, Frank is trying to help someone, just like Gerard did for him.

This was brilliant, it really was. I'm gonna miss this. Saved to my memories ♥ ♥

I'm so glad you finished this fic and that we're all able to finally have an ending but I just wished it had ended differently :(
I never expected a happy ending per say, just an ending where neither Gerard or Frank died would have been favorable.
I really do love this story, it's amazing in so many ways, I just have issues with character death and always skip stories when I know they'll have character death in them.

Sorry, I should've warned about the character death part. Hope it didn't mess with you too much. Thanks for reading though.

What an ending.
I'm so sad Gerard died. I hoped that now he gave away a secret he also might survive.
But it's so good to know he helped Frank and that Frank is now able to help Maes. At least a part of the ending is good. :)

Only thing I miss: What did Gerard write? Not nice not telling us. ;)

I read today from chapter 18 to the end and the Mikey situation broke my heart and left my crying. I can't even imagine how horrible it has to be for someone seeing their brother in such a condition knowing it's their fault. I felt so sorry for Gerard. But the conclusion that he made something good by helping Frank was amazing. It's just too sad that Gee had to die.

I'm sorry he had to die as well but that's the way it had to be! And sorry, can't tell you what he wrote: all part of the mystery! Thank you so much for reading!

I can't even say a word. Besides, I think I Twittered myself out early this morning.

I'm very proud of you, if that means anything. Leaving comments feels very hallow anymore, compared to the friendship this has lead to. If you don't know how I feel about the story by now, I've failed you.

As I told you earlier, stories--especially this one--are not about just kitties and rainbows. Perhaps Gerard didn't have a pleasant end, but if he had known how the end had been from Frank (oh wait, he did...), *he* would be pleased. Despite his apparent fear of Jasper, it had nothing to do with the end of his own mortality, or even that of Frank, but the fate of the world because of the secrets he held. He knew he didn't have to worry about Frank, just as he knew so many other things.

I know I had advantages about the stories others didn't, but I am glad I never knew all that much. This story deserved to be a secret all of its own.

But if it's a secret all on its own, then there would be no one would to read it and then comment and inflate my ego.

Apparently I am doomed to a life of feeding your ego. I personally think I am pretty damn good at it. You could at least be nice. ;)
