*sighs* i used to wonder how this could happen... two people who love each other, its so obvious they should be together forever... but they arent. out of their own voilation sometimes. its so mind boggling because... everything is there, so whats the problem, right?

then i stepped into the world and. yeah. i sort of got it. i dont agree with it, but i got it.

so this... obviously its... painful, you know? and you can't but hope that they realize teir folly and are like screw whatever, i cant live without him. y'know?

lol, tl;dr, this was fantastically written.

thank you so much. this is a beautiful comment. i totally agree with what you said here. i almost always write happy endings to my stories, but every once in a while, one of these shows up. i think it's kind of real, you know? because sometimes love isn't enough and other things get in the way and ... um, stuff. anyways, thank you! <3

(and you should totally pretend they work it out. i'll join you!)

This was so sad, but very well done. But heartbreaking! And the 'Hollow Men' reference was fantastic :D

[sophie_448]

aww, thank you darling! i WISH the T.S. Elliot reference was on purpose, but it totally wasn't. That is a gorgeous poem, though, now that I've educated myself :-)

I hate you.

Entirely.

WHEN COOK AND NEAL ARE OUR BOYFRIENDS, I WILL GIVE YOU THE COLD SHOULDER. JUST FOR THIS.

(j/k j/k. but you knew that.)

Wow. Poignant angst. I'm crying here.

And nothing’s ever quite as good or beautiful again, but the world keeps turning just the same.

Break my heart, won't you?

[therealesther]

this is completely heart-breaking. i really wish i didn't read it, but i'm also glad i did...

i wish you could make it all better, but that would ruin the awesomeness of the angst. argh.

excellent writing. *goes off to find healing fluff!fic*
