Cynlee 2008-03-16 ch 1,	abuseI really do not care for angst, but this is extremely well-written. Brava!
BubblyShell22 2008-02-28 ch 1,	abuseGreat story. I can see the family feeling like this if Leo were to die. You are a good writer. The Bubbly One, Shell
caylender 2008-02-17 ch 1,	abuseFantastic, that's all I can really say. I love how you made each react. I thought their reactions were all in character. Very touching fic, it made me cry. Great job on this.
Longing for Leo 2007-12-27 ch 1,	abuseThis was beautiful, my favorite kind of story...and yet, Raph's part was so short. I liked the last line, but what about the years in between? Are we to understand that he raged and grieved the whole time, not accepting it until years later? What happened? What did he do? I know this works well as a one-shot, but could you maybe add a short chapter giving us more about how Raph coped all those years? But, more importantly, please update Lockdown. I'm begging you, again and again and again I beg you, please don't abandon that wonderful story. Please don't leave us on this cliffhanger for any longer. Please update. Ok, thanks.
Zombie Cordelia 2007-12-07 ch 1,	abusethis was incredible. you captured the stages so perfectly, for everyone. oh my god, i can't even articulate how intense this story is and how emotional it is making me. wonderful job!
princessebee 2007-12-06 ch 1,	abuseoh you... you... bloody... &$%#! tears, yes, on my cheeks as I read this. What I love about this is not just how wonderfully you encapsulate our boys' different personalities in each of their little snippets. It's how you also reveal how damn wonderful Leo was - how beautifully you portray HIS personality through their experiences. Don, rising to the awful challenge and slowly coping. It's true - no matter how awful something is, as each day passes that state seems normal. How awful and twisted and bizarre, but inevitable. Darling Donnie, doing what he can to keep the family together. Mikey, trying to immortalise his brother, needing to cling to him. It never being enough. This is where I started to cry. I hoped more for Raph, would like to read more from Raph, but at the same time, it was perfect and didn't need anymore, even though I want more. Someone, it managed to get their whole fraught yet passionately loving relationship... the fact that Raph's is years later, that he's made tea he's not good with, that there's another cup there, that obviously this is something they did together, that he recalls words spoken to him... gah. loves this story all over* I wish I could write story about the Guys like this.
EntropyMage 2007-12-06 ch 1,	abusewonderfully done chica! a great glimpse at the whole greiving process. Not too angsty, not too over done, perfect! Its hard to find a good read lately, but this was amazing! KUDOS! =D
Reinbeauchaser 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseVery bittersweet, sad, and angsty. Each brother remembering their fallen comrade in the only way they know how. One with his tinkering. Another with his creativity. And a third with his unencumbered salute. The briefness of his part in this one-shot helped to augment that nicely, too. The only one who's missing in this is Splinter. And April. And Casey. Anyway, nice job! Be blessed, Rene'
Snora 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseI normally lurk more than I review, but I couldn't not comment on this. It's simply fantastic. The aftermath of loss--you got it in one. Thank you for sharing this.
Lola Hard 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseOh... This is incredible. I... really don't know what to say. This is so real that you could feel it. All three parts are so perfectly in character for each of them, and so painful. And Raph's part is simply stunning. His actions have always spoke louder than words, and his pain is reflected in his very body and its language. "A red evening and a gray morning bode well for the traveling and the lost" - this line is absolutely beautiful... I loved this, it made me cry... Thank you.
gryffgurl88 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseBeautiful. I don't even know what to say to this. I can't decide whose section I like the best though Raph's stands out most to me. This is just...wow. Wow is all I can say.
Stormchilde 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseHaunting and beautiful, a story I will never forget.
VGiselleH 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseI don't know what to say, except that I'm impressed...those were great insights into three of them. Fit each of em perfectly without becoming melodramatic or anything, while at the same time it tugs at your heart. Very impressive. Raph's bit is the smallest and supposedly the simplest, but I'll admit it hit me the hardest at the same time. Good way to end it.
jaunt 2007-12-05 ch 1, anon.	abuseBeautiful. Seriously. :)
