First of all, this story is stunning.
It's the best fan fiction that I have ever read.
I've been reading this off my iPod for the course of a week.
I've avoided all human life until I finished it.
Every minor detail fell into place so beautifully with the main storyline.
I want to print this and have it forever.
You amaze me.
I desperately want to know the 24 words in Gerard's secret.
I want to know what They can't have.
I don't care if They come after me.
Please, please, please share the secret?
I'll keep it somewhere safe!

I just wanted to say this work of fiction is probably one of the best things I've ever read. It just draws you in and I could hardly see the screen I was crying so much in some parts, it's so perfect.
I also really, really adore Markman.

Thank you! I'm so honoured you took the time to read it :)
And thank you for saying you liked Markman, original characters often get overlooked in bandom, so thank you!

YOU ... I don't know how to feel, on the one hand you've created one of the best fanfictions I've ever read and made me cry and laugh in he same chapter (this is a good thing). But you've also created a story so amazing that when I stopped reading for the night I only got 5 hours sleep and have possibly failed 3 exams as I was only able to think about this (but I'll get over that).

My main question is this (I believe someone may have already asked it, if so I apologise). Did you pick 24 as a random number of words or did you actually think of the words but decide not to write them to protect us from 'them'? If the numbers were planned I may just spend the rest of the night trying to work them out and take the risk of 'them' finding me.

PS. Why did Gerard have to die? I know it's the easiest way to end an amazing fanfic like this and I can't think of a better ending but still even though there was no other option I have to ask why?

And thank you again for writing such an amazing, emotional roller-coaster of a fanfiction :)

Reading this comment really meant a lot to me, thank you so much. Sorry about what happened with your exams though! Hopefully you didn't fail them!!??

I did actually write out a secret but I quickly realised that there was no way I was going to please everyone with it and it probably wasn't as amazing as everyone wanted it to be. Plus, I totally had to protect everyone as well... So, yeah 24 was the actual number.

Gerard had to die because i'd been foreshadowing his death since the very beginning and although it hurt so bad I had to do it. There was no way he was going to live in an institution for the rest of his life; it just wasn't the way I created his character. Plus, Frank needed to be freed so he could get on with his life and there was no way he was going to leave if Gerard was still alive. But, do know that my beta practically had to threaten me to go through with it (i still have original endings where Gerard is alive on my computer :/)

Thank you so much for reading xx
