i kno i read this alot later then you wrote but it caught my attention. i love that song so much! and the end was so sad i am like in love with jess and i was oo no!! i wish they would have at least seen each other! but anyway that was very good one of my favorites!

a few words. ASP needs to take some lessons from you on closeur( god i need to look up how you spell that word) The way you end these things tha's what i call closeur, something that i cand deal with

I love this song. So much. Now with that said…
I really like the basic idea of this. I remember you describing your groovy idea, blaming it on the song, and how the verses kept running through your head. This is Jess, older and different; this is Jess, “love’s fool

As much as I love Literati, I have to admit...I don´t think Rory ever loved Jess. c´mom...a week after he left she tells him by the phone that she "may have loved" him? And even if she did, it was strong enough to last a week with him not around. No, she didn´t need to pine over him, not after what he did, but fall out of love like that gives me the feeling that she was just using him. I never liked Rory at all, I always thought that she was a hypocrit, spoiled, boring teeager that acted like a little princess beacause she couldn´t handle people not liking her...but even then I didn´t think she would treat someone like that. Jess was not a victim but he was(and still is) hurting too.

What stood out in this story is the voice. While it's written from Jess's point of view, I feel like you're talking to me. Reading me a story or something eerily similar. It's something that could be read at a group reading at the library, something to read while you hold onto the hand of a lover or a best friend who can relate to you. Like those who have come before me, the tag line for the story is easily the best line. Great choice for your tag. Shoves the truth in your face...in a not-so-subtle-this-is-reality kind of way. You have a unique style; keep it up.

So great. He does need to just move on. After the finale, and the second to last episode, i can say that im not too fond of Rory at the moment. She is not worth his time. Everyone always said he wasnt good enough for her, but now its come to the point, where she isnt good enough for him. If she truly loved him, or "may have" loved him, she wouldnt have pushed him away like she did, he deserved more then just a 'NO'. Here he is trying to make things better for himself, and grow up, and change his ways, but its almost like its too late, and no one wants to help. They all tried before, and now hes on his own. But he is better on his own, hes better off doing things his way, and he is most of all better off without her. Unless she wants to change her ways and stop thinking of just herself for once. Anyways, good story...

late.

Hallelujah is actuall written by leonard cohne--an amazing artist, jeff buckley simply covered it. And i hope you don't think i'm being rude, i just didn't want you to be under the impression that its a jeff buckley song, because it is not.

I just love this piece. I reread it for the third time this afternoon and I still love it. Your sentences are so brief and compact--yet they carry such weight and importance. "It's like picking at a scar and noticing that blood always leaks when you do. There's no chance for recovery." Love that line... Probably my favorite of the whole thing.

I've always wondered what would happen if they ran into each other in the future and this is just right. It's painful--you want the fairytale ending, the happiness and the love, and yet it is time for him to move on. Maybe that's one of the reasons that i hate Dean so much--because he's this pathetic character who still carrying a torch for Rory two years after their relationship ended and he's married. This--you've shown the dignity of Jess's character. he still loves her, but he knows that he has to move on for both of their sakes. I hate it, I do, but it's real and it's what has to happen.

Thank you so much for writing this!

That is so sad, and so beautiful. I wish he had gone to talkt to her, but the ending was perfect.

that song has ALWAYS reminded me of jess and rory!! i really like this fic...so sad, though! it was a great one-shot.

Hey!

Beautiful one parter.

Bye, smile :-)

*sniff* Oh... another sad one... Well-written though. I love the image of her losing her book. It's so... fluid? Whistful? Did I spell that right? ah well... anyways, I enjoyed. I sniffled. I need to start keeping tissues around for when you write fic lol.
