Thank you very much. ♥

Usually this would be where I put a long, well thought out comment. Unfortunately I have (almost) literally been rendered speechless.

This was wonderfully, heartbreakingly beautiful, and I could not have asked for a better fill for this prompt. Just... thank you. Thank you so much. <3

Erik had always hated the rain.
Guh. <3

Oh my gosh, that's such a wonderful compliment, I don't even really know what to say. ♥♥♥

I want to thank you so much for the wonderful prompt. ♥ I really enjoyed writing this.

[teacandles]

*hugs* Sorry this was so depressing. It didn't want to turn out happy. :(

[teacandles]

Thank you. ♥ I like to think that Erik was there at the very end. I really did try to make this end happily, but it just didn't work.

I tried to write an epilogue where after the war Erik went to London to find Raven and give her Charles's book. I think that after the impact Charles had on him, the least he could do is seek out the man's beloved sister and let her know what happened to him. Again, it didn't work, but that probably would have turned out happier than I could make this story go.

I still love what you've done with this prompt so far. If you decide to continue it, I'll definitely be there to read it. :D

Ooh, I'm excited to see it. :D They could use a happy ending after what I did to them here.
