This really made my heart hurt for Sarah. Beautifully written and what a story!

Oh my goodness... Come to think about it, "Peter Pan" DOES apply to Jack and Sarah very well. You are very clever to notice that:)

That was so sweet! I enjoyed it:)

Wow, this is amazing! I love how you used the anomaly of Peter Pan to fit into Sarah's situation. Every character fits and you've captured it beautifully. Another big thing; THANK YOU for not bashing Sarah. It's nice to find a fic that focuses positively on her. A definite favorite. Keep up the good work!

Whoa.

So, A., before I get started here--I drew your name. Yay! And because I was already logged in this morning, I was too lazy to work the anonymous angle.

I decided to read this story first because I have an affinity for Sarah stories. You know, *good* Sarah stories. This is a good Sarah story.

I really like the comparisons between the newsies and characters from PETER PAN. I actually noticed that coorilation not too long ago, and then finding this story kind of put those ambiguous thoughts into words. Very, very lovely words.

I like the way this story seems to flow. It sounds, if you will, very quiet and feminine, as if Sarah's whispering the whole story to us, or to herself. It's poetic without being flouncy and cheap; all of your word choices are so effortless and conversational--I think Sarah could have said all that.

You and I have fairly similar theories on Jack and Sarah, too. I've always seen Jack as an overgrown boy who just kind of...disappears as he grows older, because he can't become an adult. And I'm convinced Sarah wouldn't marry Jack, either. I even have to agree with you that David would become a journalist...

Anyway, I really enjoyed this story. It's very delightful and simplistic, and it makes the connection between Neverland and New York without shoving it ruthlessly down the reader's throat. Very, very nice. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to read next.

Oh my God, that was beautiful! I'm crying! The wording and phrasing is all so poetic. -- "But, like Wendy, I had to grow up; and like Peter, Jack never could." -- *wipes tears away* Bravo. This is going to my faves.

B, This story is gorgeous! I'm so glad I got your ff pen name so I could find it! Peter Pan is my "offical" favorite book (everyone has to have a favorite book...that's mine!) I love how it's so much darker than any of the movie versions. And you completely captured the darkness of it in this one-shot. Absolutely loved this fic!

I absolutely love this story. It made me cry. I've always loved, and hated peter pan for the same reasons your character does. It's the heartbreaking fairy tale people feel the need to wrap up in special effects and glamour to convince the world that it fits in with all the disney princess stories. But your story doesn't cover it up; it pulls it out into the open and shows that dreams can be broken and still remain beautiful, and that peter pan isn't some far-away concept at all, but exists in the most unlikely places. I guess I'll always be in love with stories like these... thank you.

Oh my heck! That was absolutely beautiful! I'm in the play Peter Pan right now, and I'm in a real newsies mood, and this satisfied both sides of me. It was absolutely gorgeous! I loved it! *adds to fav stories* great job!

i loved this. it was soo good! keep writing!

Tears. and i dont cry easily

Wow that was really good. The allusion to Peter Pan was most excellent, I must say.

I thought I reviewed this, I'm so mad I didn't, well anyways you did it again, written another brilliant newsies fic, not only brilliant but beautifully poingant too, you know you really should write something origial and publish it,it pains me to see you waste you talent on fics, just imagine if you wrote an original story just as brilliant as your fics(try fiction press, original fiction with reviews, same deal as fan fiction net but it's original work-and this is from an avid member, reviews for original work do so much than reviews from fan fiction)

Well you probably hear that all the time so I should just stop talking, but anyways fic or original don't stop writing, again, you have talent, talent I wish I had, use it wisely(like the force lol sorry couldn't help it)

"He wasn't real, I sometimes think. He was a fairy tale that we all made up, and he vanished when we stopped telling each other stories about him."]

Beautiful. You expanded on the one thing that has always bothered me about the Newsies--what happens when it's over? They can't be kids forever. I like to think they all had happy endings, but that's just unrealistic.

Have I mentioned lately that I WORSHIP YOUR BRILLIANCE? Because... holy crap. It was het. And I liked it. It had Sarah. AND I LIKED IT.

You, dear, are incredibly talented.

Damn. That was heartbreaking. I shed a tear at this one. It's so sad! I love it. -emo mood starts now-
