I loved your story. I will admit I cried and not be ashamed. Good work. Keep writing.

I don't know if you wrote this from personal experience (if so, I'm sorry for your loss) or just a great writer. It was awesome. It made me feel as if I had lost Tristan myself. You have talent.

Holy fucking crap. That actually made me cry.
I'm really impressed and appreciative that you managed to do this without making it too unrealistic/sappy/cheesy. Job well done.
Thanks so much for this!

so i had decided that i wanted to read some trory today, and read this... it was amazing, and made me bawl. great story :)

I am not lying, seriously. That was the best fan-fic I have ever read.

By the way, you don't suck for killing Tristan. I forgive you. And I like how you gave Rory Jess.

I had "Wish you were Here" by Pink FLoyd stuck in my head the entire time whil reaing this fic.

*That was a compliment*

Most of the time, fanfiction is fun distraction on the side for people who like certain universes better than their own at the end of a long day. However, some stories transcend the simple guilty pleasure or relaxation technique. Some stories about people so far from us that we cannot know them as real can tell us about ourselves.
This story abandons the idea that, in the Gilmore world, every cloud has a witty silver lining and all is always well by the end of the hour.
It demands that we see the parts that pain as well as those that make us smile. It forces us to accept that it can be the same thing.
I cannot stress how important this is. Life and joy and beauty would all cease without death and heartache and horror. It is so very cliche, but I actually believe that.
So I thank you, for making something that is filled with sorrow be filled with simple, pretty, truth.

this is the first fan fic that has honestly made me sob. it was so beautiful! and beautifully written! Thank you so much for that!

I cried so hard, tears rolling down my face. Lovely story. All of the character are spot on and the story is obviously well thought out and beautifully written.

The ending was beautiful. Loved Tristan's letter, very Tristan. Rory's transition from grief to healing was uplifting though still very sad especially the part about when she stopped seeing him in crowds or leaning against her locker, stopped hearing him tease her. That bit really stuck with me but it's true as sad as it is, to really move on you have to let go. I'm crying just a little and it doesn't help that there's no tissue box in sight! Thanks for writing such a great story 'coz it is and I'm sorry for this long letter 'coz it may as well be one.

This is wonderful. I cried buckets. Nice work.

Hi there, I just wanted to say that your story was fantastic. You captured Tristan and his illness so well, particularly terminal illness in a teenaged boy (it's kind of my area of expertise.) I bawled through half of the story, smiled through the rest. It was great, heartbreaking, but great.

I also cannot adequately stress how refreshing it is to click into a fic for the first time and realize that it will be a grammatically sound, spell-checked, nicely structured story. Thank you for that.

If I had one constructive criticism about the story, it would be that I found Rory a little OOC. Not terribly, and not throughout, but it was difficult for me to suspend disbelief at her naivete and sheer density when Tristan begins to hint at the gravity of his illness.

All in all, it was a great read. My first of yours, and I'll definitely be back for more!

aw, that's a good story. a little sad though, but i like it ~ Alenor

I finally read this story, in full. I figured, since it was finished, that I would just wait to review at the end. And I have to say, I'm kind of surprised at how this story affected me. But then again, I'm not. You, after all, are an amazing writer. I hope you keep at it. : )

Going into this story, I knew what the ending would bring; Tristan's death. Who wouldn't? I knew it would be sad, but I had no idea it would make me cry. Seriously. I had trails of tears running down my cheeks. Take pride in that. Stories on Fanfiction don't usually make me cry.

I think you did a tremendous job with this story. And although I hated to read about Tristan dying, it was a great story. I love what he said in the video, for his funeral. It was perfect; it was so, Tristan.

Thank you for finishing this story. I really did like it, even though it made me cry. : )

Wow, awesome story.

I'm not going to lie once I ready, "honey, Tristan passed away." I loudly said "Are you kidding me??" my sister who was in the same room as me was wondering what I was talking about. Also, I kept reading and waiting for Rory to wake up a day or so before the Romeo and Juliet play and have Tristan be there and all would be well in the land of Trory. I had tears welling up and I do not cry easily. This ending totally kills me, it's like how I felt after watching Cruel Intentions for the first time. Beautifully executed.

Oh and I think my favorite part of the whole story was when Rory actually saw how frail Tristan looked and was wondering how she had never noticed it before, I don't know why but that part really stuck with me.

Wow, this was a long review, but yes...amazing story.

Good job
