I forced my self not to cry! This is the second time I read this. And the only reason I didn't review was because I was in school! Do you know what kind of excuse I'd have to come up with if I started crying in the middle of class (Which also has my crush in it)? It was a beautiful story. I remember that my mother and I were watching the news and she walked into the room when they said the planes hit. She just collapsed. She said that my dad was gonna take that day off and we were gonna go down the the City to go shopping. But he had to work. I think a lot of people did what Rodger did. *sniffle* Dammit! I dun wanna cry!

This is SUCH a beautiful story. I cried so much reading it...:(

I hate to give constructive criticism, but there's just a little thing with the names. You wrote 'Alexia' several times for 'Alexi,' and 'Joanna' instead of 'Joanne.' Otherwise very beautiful and touching. :) I rarely read Mark/Roger, but this one was very sweet.

You wrote a very beautiful story. Especially with the ending paragraph. I cried during the whole 4th chapter.

oh my god... that was the best story I have ever read. Ever. It really does take the cake, eat it, and keep the recipe. You did a wonderful job.

but it's Joanne not Joanna and Alexi not Alexia.

thank you for writing this.

Love it. So beautiful and chilling.

Beautiful story. I just about lost it when Roger started singing "I'll Cover You"-chillingly perfect.

very nice :)

That was so beautiful. I absolutely love it. I think that this chapter was the best so far- especially the last paragraph. Great job!

Hmm... I will have to read the whole thing again later... I can't get used to the MR right now (not in the mood) and I don't think it fits... so, I just need to reread it some other time...

Also getting tired of Mimi being a bitch... You know, she may not be my favorite character, but I think Larson wouldn't have put her and Roger together if that was how she really was... But that's me...

It is still a great story though

stuck here in shock reading it, though, I do admit that the AN at the ending broke it... try to keep ANs at the top, especially if you have a dramatic chapter ending...

I remember 9/11... my 6th grade class and i thought it was strange we didn't have Channel 1 news (news program for middle schoolers and high schoolers) that day, and after lunch pestered our teacher till she finally told us what little they knew...

This is very good, though, the "Tell Roger I'm sorry i never got to tell him i love him" thing was kind of awkward... (I have no problems with homosexuals...) I don't know... If he meant it in a MR way, it threw me off, or if not, then the way it was worded was awkward. Would have been better if it was an inside joke of sorts, like "Tell Roger, I'm sorry that I want be back in time" or being late or not using his head, acting impulsive (I know, bad examples, but I hope they at least convey my meaning)...

I have nothing against MR, but I have to be in the mood, and I get a little picky about it, so don't think I'm just saying that because of it...

very good though... My aunt was in NY, and miraclously, she didn't go to work that day, her theatre was closeby I think, but she saw the whole thing from her apartment window.

Wow! I'm sitting here crying because that story was absolutely amazing. My dad was one of the rescue workers at 9-11 and I swear I could see him in your story. Mark and Roger are already my favorite from RENT and this story was just beautiful! Thank you.

This made me cry. It was brillant and you handled such a touchy, hard subject with amazeing care. I adored the last chapter and how you worked I'll Cover You into it...

I am in such a state right now...I need tissue

i hate almost every mark/roger fic i've read. no one writes them well enough for me to like them. except you. damn, this just rocked. thank you for writing a GOOD (not just decent, which is what i was looking for) fic between the two hot guys.

*trying very hard not to cry* That was beautiful. And considering that I usually hate MarkRoger stories, that's saying a lot. Brava. :D

OK, I still love this story, but I really hate it when people make Mimi uncharacteristically evil or even worse, dead just to get Mark and Roger together. Just so you know. Not trying to be mean, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Anyway, I'm really freaked out. Mark had better not be dead. He'd better not be dead.
