Reviews For: Gazing From Rooftops

dirao 2008-10-09 ch 1,	abuseI loved it. I'm your fan, I have no shame. My guess is you've become disenchanted (or you became disenchanted) with the show and it made you leave this fanfic realm behind. I just wanted to say that fics like this are what helps us fans of a bruised show that just died keep on loving it. That the show gave light to such great fanfiction makes me just love the show more.
Eruva 2008-02-06 ch 1,	abuseIt's such a sweet story, nice job. =]
IdiotSavant8009 2007-12-26 ch 1,	abuseThis was so beautifully written. I hate it when authors overuse particular adjectives and phrases that they think are original, and for some reason I noticed that you don't do that. I've never read anything quite like this, and I'm glad that I happened apon this. By the way, I commented another of your stories under the false pretense that it was not a oneshot, and I insinuated that I was awaiting your update. And then I went back to the story and I scrolled up and saw that it was complete. My bad. Keep up the great work! +Taylor
iLoveTelevision 2007-11-09 ch 1,	abuseomg this was brilliant! this is my favorite version of an alternative ending for 'Teach Me Tonight' i love how Jess' feelings and emotions is visible and obvious to Rory. perfect ending!
allycat1186 2007-11-04 ch 1,	abuseAmazing!
Keiko Noriko 2007-10-31 ch 1,	abuseAlready added to my fav list! I really loved it! Very well done. I love Jess&Rory, too bad they didn't ended up together... Sorry for the english, it's not my first language.
Lucille Mabel 2007-10-27 ch 1,	abuseAmazing, Beautiful, and ah, so Perfect; so possibly the best re-write for Teach Me Tonight? This could have happened; this should have happened. In my mind it now has and that's all that matters. Thank you; Thank you; Thank you! I've added too many stories to my favorites lately; but I can't deny this one. Great Job.
Lirazel 2007-10-25 ch 1,	abuseThat was beautiful, honey. You just get these two, and I love the subtlety to this alternate universe. It feels nature, like it could have happened, like it did happen. I love it.
helaluvE 2007-10-24 ch 1,	abuseOh my god! that's so going on my fav list! damn, that felt good and i really mean it FELT good. it was beautiful and so -oh- so well written. i swear the best one shot i read for this plot. really the best, the bestest! i just don't know what to say, it was brillant and spoke for itself. here are my fav parts: "Something in his chest swells as she answers and he wonders why that happens so much around her. " beautiful. simple yet so much more. "The feel of her fingers tracing his arm is more than he can take; not because it’s an overtly sexual gesture (because it’s not, it’s Rory and she’s anything but overt) but because he can feel his fingers aching to reach for her and he can’t do that. He won’t let himself. Jess Mariano prides himself on few things, but his self control is one of them, something he cannot let her break." poor Jess! “I’d ask to be able to do this for as long as possible.” at that line, i melted into a puddle of nothing. i swear it was just so sweet and beautiful and perfect and coming from Jess' mouth makes it the best line ever :D "(‘I can’t help myself. Not around you.’)" second thaw of the day! "He turns his head as he says so, ostensibly to give her a reassuring glance but really it’s to check she’s not having an emotional breakdown that could end up with someone in hospital. A certain tall grocery boy someone." fun and so sweet :D loved it. “Maybe you don’t have to shake anymore.” good girl lol. so all in all really fantastic! i love your stories so much, i was so excited to read this one and i wasn't dissapointed. you really did a fantabulous job :D can't wait to read more of your writing.
Charolette Lee 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abuseIzzi, my darling, my love, will you marry me? Please?! XD. This story is love in so many ways. It brings off the ... that sort of feeling in the pit of your gut where sweetness and love are bundled into one neat little package. With lightness, and prettiness, and loveliness, and just this overhwelming horrible feeling in your gut because you hate it so much. You hate that you can't compare, and it's just not ... real. It's purely fictoin, and it's so breath-takingly painful because you need it to be real, and ... The part when they're on the roof! squee& They are so roof people! The people who lie on rooftops, and just ... gaze. And ponder, and he just ... he loves her, but she has a boyfriend. As many time as that has been said, you, by far, have been the best to describe it when it comes to Rory and Jess. Er- okay, needless rambling about to ensure. What I guess ... ah Izzi! You've gotten me speechless yet again, it's a very horrible thing to do when I'm trying to explain why I liked this story so much! You have excellent, extreme talent. You have way more talent then I will ever be graced to have. Your writing is too lovely, and has the talent, and skill that will make you a bestseller, and me a lowlife author living in an unheated apartment drinking beer out of bag. Don't blush dear, you know it'll happen. So, let me just say. It's lovely, I love it, and it's brillance is too wonderful. Please write more, and make me rambly so that eventually this will be a second nature. Reviewing your stories I mean. So I can become coherent, and form actual words, and just think clearly enough to write reviews for you. Lovely, lovely as usual. -Sue.
Literati and naley forever 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abuseThis was an amazing story. I thought that the writing was beautiful and the characterizations were also really good!
Terra7 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abuse"'Want me to turn back?' he asks, praying for a two letter answer and thanking his lucky stars she isn’t a telepath." I giggled a little internally thinking about this as a Heroes crossover. Hee - Rory as a telepath. "Jess Mariano prides himself on few things, but his self control is one of them, something he cannot let her break." Oh Jess... This is so him - especially at this point in the series. Broken and self-depreciating but still clinging desperately to some small pieces of himself. I miss Jess. "She reaches out to stop him, but her fingers clasp only the vestiges of his cologne." I love that you evoke so many other senses in your writing. I always assumed Jess would wear pleasant cologne. Simple, decidedly masculine. He cares too much about his appearance (dude enough with the gel) not to wear something. You rock with the details Ava. "Something about the quiet resolve in her voice and the fact that she cussed, forces the word out of his mouth, 'Sorry.'" You so absolutely get how big a word that is for Jess to say. What phenomenal charactization you have. "She says quietly, still not looking at him because she’s (not really) still mad and he’s too close and she kind of wants to grab his hand and never let go." I really enjoy the way you pace your stories. They never feel rushed or tedious - and they way you change your sentence structure gives them the most wonderful cadence. I feel how nervous and conflicted Rory is, not just because you tell me so with her words and actions, but because your sentences are longer and less direct. You make the structure of your writing just as important as the content and that is only one of the many reasons I adore you. “Did you just say ‘jaunt’?” “Shut up, it’s one in the morning.” “Jaunt?” “I was reading Wilde before I fell asleep!” “As one does.” As much as I adore your narrative, there really is something to be said for just how fantastic your dialogue is. This is Jess and Rory and season two butterflies all over again. :) "He looks at her and she’s smiling a question and he needs to mark this date down for the rest of his life." And then you go and end it with this beauty. I loved reading this Ava. It made my heart sing. (not literally of course, but in the best way possible).
Curley-Q 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abusegood
Richi03 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abuseThis was a beautiful story. You have a wonderful way of describing how they both felt and you did a great job of keeping them in character. I can't wait to read more of your work :)
harumscarum 2007-10-23 ch 1,	abuseOh, this was such a beautiful story! I wish it had gone this way in real life... And that Jess and Rory had stayed together forever... well, at least there's always fanfiction!
