Ahh...I have often wondered about this as far as the Artemis/Holly ship goes, but you write it beautifully. Nice one-shot.

Right! *rolls up sleeves* (Wrote half of this last night, but then (a)Tiredness finally struck and (b)My laptop ran out of battery. I refuse to believe the two are related.)

First of all: this fic isn't bad - it's actually quite good, although there's certainly not too much substance to it. I enjoyed reading it, and it gave me goosebumps. Which can't be a bad thing. :D

The concept is one that I consider very romantic - I actually wrote a very similar drabble myself - this explores what I left implied. And this is well written, the concepts you've explored are lovely (although it's slightly overplayed into melodrama in a couple of places) and Holly's memories of their relationship seem very IC.

The song is also well-chosen. Both the mood and the lyrics are appropriate. My nitpick would be that there is too much of it for the fic - songfics work best when there is massively less lyrics than fic, otherwise people go "blah, blah, song, blah blah - all right then, done".

Things I would suggest: Remove repeats of lyrics, cut out a verse, or just put an appropriate verse or two at the top of the fic rather than interspersing. Also, you could do a little more paragraphing of the fic in between the lyrics to space it out (otherwise people's eyes skip past the fic parts because they're difficult to read).

Nitpicks:
"It was as if there hearts..." (their)
"Oh, to here him mutter some relentlessly dull mathematical formula!" (hear)
"despite there love" (their)
"...had so much life – it wouldn’t hurt so much, if he" (hanging paragraph)

Nice work. An enjoyable read.

I can't manage to utter how this piece moved me. A job well done, so beautiful and realistic to issues they'd face. Beautiful

One of the most romantic stories every since You're Beautiful by padfootvd. Well done..

This, this is the most breathtaking story I had ever seen. The song chosen was suitable, and the plot was good. Maybe if you merge with You're Beautiful, it will become the Ultimate Romance Fan Fic.

Well Done!

Oh my god.

I really can't breathe right now.

This is just so...beautiful. In my head I'm blithering like an idiot; I can't find anything else to say.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this and sharing it with us all.
