There was a sentence in the beginning where you wrote that Jess had been led to the (possible) conclusion that Emma was in love with him. And that idea made him feel sick. That reminded me so much of myself when I was in a relationship where my boyfriend loved me. But I didn't love him and that whole concept made ME sick. That part in this story stood out the most to me, somehow. I just thought I should point that out.
Anyways, it was fantastic. I really liked it. I loved it.

oh god, i'm sitting here before school reading fanfiction and crying my eyes out. this is incredible...actually, all your fics are pretty good, bur i love this.

I'm trying to find a word to describe this but I just can't. I don't think that any word in the english language would do it justice. It's too marvelous, too flawless, too...indescribable. Your understanding, your way of using the right words to make the readers understand is absolutely fantastically mind blowing.
Brilliant job, love. Brilliant job.

it was so great
i cried

WOW, good job, I have no idea when you published this story but i ** love how blunt you are. The truth is that in the real world things don't always end up happily ever after, and you definetly captured that mood. As a reader i loved it!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I'm surprise more people have not read this masterpiece. The length is intimidating for a one-shot, but definitely worth it. It's incredible how realistic the plot is, I can definitely see this happen to Jess and Rory despite how much the reader wants the couple to be together, it could not have ended any other way but in tragic loss-- very Jess and Rory. I enjoyed this piece more than Redemption (although I shouldn't be comparing a one-shot with a 25-chapter fic... but I can't help myself!)

I think... that if Rory and Jess really are, as you say, something like forever (which I wholeheartedly agree), and if neither of the two scenarios listed in this fic (no tomorrow vs. nothing but tomorrow) is true, then... there must be something that follows. He's not going to forget her; she's not going to forget him; this isn't some final departure before the stagnant ever after. Which is why I think this story is in DESPERATE need of a follow-up... not necessarily a happy one, but just one written by you, since you define the tension Rory and Jess so, SO well.

This is THE most amazing Lit story ever. Bar none. And I'm not just saying that.

You captured Rory and Jess so well it's frightening. I've read this over about five times now, and I still cry every time. It's just so true.

Thanks for this story. Please keep it up!

Why'd you have to make me cry?
Jesus...I can't...stop...
God, that was amazing. That style you used...awesome. I loved it. It was beautiful. It broke my heart, and I'm crying but it was so freaking beautiful.
So fantastic. It's thoughtbreaking. Probably one of the best written one shots on Gilmore Girls.
I can't stop thinking about this..the words you used, jeez they were perfect.
Man, you really have a gift.
Please use it for good next time, cause I don't want to end up in tears...
I don't know how to specify what exactly I loved about it. Was it the pure, raw, and ragged emotion in this? Or was it the way you could emphasize everything in a way that a painting is artistic? The thought-provoking italics and repeated words just was great.
And the poem so fit it...
God...it was so so so good...I can't stop rereading it...and I keep crying not just because I love Rory and Jess (maybe a little because of it)-because this could be about someone real and I'd still be crying...but because it was so heartbreakingly electric.
I love how you write...I hope you continue to write literati...
I loved this.

I've wanted to write a review of this piece for awhile but have been putting it off because I don't know what to say that would do it justice. But now I see you posted something else, so I want to say something before I forget. This is fantastic. Certainly one of the best Lit one shots posted in awhile, if not ever. Rory and Jess as never-quite-there is exactly how they should be. I loved the evolution of Rory's feelings (well, her showing them) from start to finish. Well paced. I liked your other fics, but thought they were far too wordy for their own good sometimes. This fit perfectly in a one shot. I hope we see much more from you.

It occurred to me today when I was reading this story (for the 3rd time? 4th?) that I never left an adequate review, which is such a disservice because I simply love your writing. It's hard to read your stories without comparing them to others. Redemption I love for many reasons, but am always struck by the evolution of your writing as demonstrated in that particular story, the exponential increase in quality from beginning to end (which is part of the reason I continue to beg for that sequel - it was fun to see it get better and better), and I loved Striped Sheets just because it was a pleasure to get your writing with a 'happy ending story.' This one, though, I love for this reason: It's a consistent as possible. Never is there a moment of faulty characterization, never is there is a piece of dialogue that rings false. It's something that is so much easier said than done, but in doing so, the story is a pleasure to read from beginning to end, because the reader is never distracted, never pulled away, and therefore is immersed throughout the whole thing. Love the plot, love the writing, continue to be struck by some of your words and clauses because they're so well-crafted, but, like I said, it's the consistency you've reached in your writing that perhaps makes me love this one the most. I hope that makes sense (and I hope you continue to write every day). Hope to see more from you very, very soon.

That story was so beautifully tragic, it made me cry. That writing style definately works for you.

Wow, that is some powerful stuff, I love it, it's amazing! Good job!

So beautiful! Amazing writing, I dont even know if i can put in to words how remarkable it is. I could feel everything Jess was feeling and the way you wrote his character... it was perfection!! You rock this style well, keep up the experimention!! P.S I was totally teary eyed at the end

Why did it have to be that freakin sad?! I cried so ** the last part.. they were meant to be and in this story it was just.. perfect. I am in love with it.. it made me smile, cry, blush, and laugh. I love love love it! Too ba it ended with a not-so-happily-ever-after... AMAZING
