abuseFirst of all, and I'm not sure if I've commented on this before, but I want to commend you for the character of Mike Weller. As far as I can remember, the name Weller was only mentioned the one time in the show, and yet you've created a wonderful, 3D character from that. And I'm glad that Derek has found a friend in him. And I'm glad he's taking Quin; I actually wondered what they were going to do with the dog...

And I love that Meredith was calm, and Derek was nervous. I love the idea of her being certain. And Derek worrying about giving her the magic and everything being on him and the whole 'world heavy' thing was just...exactly what the character you have written him to be would be thinking. He hates letting people down, especially Meredith, and he wanted things to be perfect for her. Wonderful.

Oh, and I also don't know if I've mentioned this, but I am so happy that Susan is alive and well in the LST universe. She didn't get long enough on the show.

“One-hundred percent of the nights we've spent here, I've been tied up.” LMAO...

And I have to say that this line was one of my favourites:
“Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know.”
It's exactly what I would love to see Derek say to her.

A wonderful end to a wonderful story. Thanks so much for writing this masterpiece, even with the 'two ridiculous cliches and one minor one' LOL. Great work!

abuseDear Aria,
Thank you for a wonderful story--always sad to get to the end of one of your stories and anxiously awaiting the next. Nobody--and I mean NOBODY--writes Derek and Meredith like you do! Cheers! AM

abuseNot finished reading this last installment yet, but had to comment once I read these lines...
...“No,” he growled, summoning all his will and strength, and he rolled them until he was there. In command. Owning the moment. Magic. He found the first set of buttons and gently popped them open. Only one-hundred twenty to go. His mind screamed. Everything screamed. “I want you,” he panted. “I want you, now.
One-hundred eighteen.
One-hundred sixteen.
One-hundred fourteen... ...

My first thought was, "Is she going to write this like he counts every button?"
That would have definitely been a build up for the reader, as it is a build up for our favorite couple in this story.

I love this. Now back to reading.

(p.s. any chance this is in a file in its entirety?)

Perfect.

Beautiful. Wonderful. Sappy. Sweet.

Did I mention perfect?

Is it bad that I'm considering coming back to this story and stealing whole parts when it's time to write my own vows? Of course, there would need to be a wedding, and since I haven't even been asked yet . . . .

Ok, back to the story. Awesome! It's been one hell of a ride, chica, and I've loved every minute of it. I hope someday to see more from you, once your brain has had a sufficient rest from all the wringing it's been through with this. How long did all this take? Starting with SOSG, of course. Anyway, it was perfect, and you should be insanely proud of yourself. Or just insane. Whichever you prefer. Love!

abuseThat was a great finish to a great story. I'm so sad to see this story go, but everything has to end sometime. I loved all the flashbacks interwoven with the present. You're one of the best writers out there and I really hope you write more stories in the future. :) Thank you for such a wonderful fanfiction. :)

abuseAw, this is so bittersweet. On one hand I absolutely loved that update, especially the last part with them making love while reciting their vows *melts* but then it was over…and the story is done and five minutes have passed since I finished reading and I already suffer from separation anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us Aria, it has been my happy place for over a year, realistic, smart, romantic, funny and every other –positive- adjective you want to add. I hope you keep writing, I truly look forward to more of your great work. Thanks again!

abuseI don't even know what to say. Pure and utter perfection doesn't seem to cover it, not even close. If you were to bind the pages, it would truly be a best seller! Thank you for sharing this incredible tale and journey with us.

abuseThere is just so much to say, so much! Awesome finish to a wonderful story.

I love all the flashbacks, somehow it fits with them, to see how they got to that point at the hotel room. It works brilliantly for the wedding, and gives us a chance to see it through Meredith and Derek's eyes. Writing weddings can be tricky, it's hard not to make them mawkish, but you nailed it.

Derek's nervousness is so sweet, and poignant. It fits so much with his character that he wants to make things perfect, that he takes it all on himself, but it already is perfect, he really doesn't need to do anything, it just is.

Meredith's lack of nerves for the weding reminded me of my sister when she got married last year. She wasn't nervous either. You obviously just know when something is right.

There were lots of lines I was going to quote back at you, stuff that either made me go 'aah' or that made me laugh, and even stuff that made me do both, but I can't remember just now. I'm still coming down from the overall awesomeness. Is that a word?

Meredith's name! Ha! I knew she would go with Shepherd, and her reasoning was clear too. It doesn't make sense to me that she would keep Grey, though I can understand Derek thinking she would, and she just isn't the hyphenated type, if you know what I mean. It's a new beginning for her and she needed a new name.

Anyway, I'm shutting up now. I just loved it to death.
