oh my godness, that chapter was amazing, i was almsost crying when there was a thought that it could have been ryan!

\o/ I really enjoyed this! Thanks!

Hey Phil!
I gotta tell you, I love all your OC fanfics. They stay true to all the characters and the storyline, even when you make scenerios that never happened on the show. And this one is no different!
I loved each chapter. So sweet! Thanks for posting, and keep up the great work! HAHA!

This was really good, filled with Ryan whumping and angst. You took your time with the story without meandering, you captured each charater's voices really well, and I felt the whole thing totally believable. I really enjoyed it. Two things: I wondered why Kirsten and Sandy didn't try calling Seth on his cell phone at the beginning of the story. Secondly, there were a few non-American terms I noticed (the most common being "whilst". We just say "while".), but I still really liked this story. I'm sure I'm not the only person who only reads completed stories (I've been burned too many times on works-in-progess that never get finished), so if you ever find that you're posting a multi-chaptered story and you don't get tons of reviews on each chapter (unlike this story, from what I can tell by your comments), know that there are tons of us out here just waiting for it to be finished! I hope you're already working on another one!

Sad but wonderful. Thanks for writing this. I've really enjoyed it.

aww a good ending
I like how everyhting wasn't perfect immediately

Great! Very realistic ending with Ryan still recovering from his ordeal.

Perfect!! Couldn't expect less from you :)
Please fell free to write many more "Ryan angst" stories!!

Aww! Awesome ending. I've been waiting for this for a little while and when I saw it in my inbox...blah blah blah. Can't believe it's finished! It was such an amazing piece of writing Phil, I'm certainly glad I read it.

thanx for the epilogue. It was a great story. I was looking forward to reading every chapter. So I really hope you ll come up with more great stories. What I like most of all is that you update rather quickly. Not like other stories that take month to be updated.

I loved how you implied that Ryan and Kirsten are close now, since he barely leaves the house without her. (of course I would have wished for more detaile or a Kirsten POV, but it was still great)

Thanx

Awesome end! i loved this story

Good Epilogue! Too bad the story's finished now...

AWESOME! thanks for finishing it, you write awesome stories. Can you start a new one soon?

*cries*

I am going to attempt to write a long, proper review, before I give in and succumb to my stomach and get some lunch.

First of all, congratulations for finishing it! It takes a lot to finish a story (I'm rubbish at doing multi chapter fics) and you've managed to keep the plot going and the excitement running all the way through it. You've told a dark, sad story (full of hurt/comfort, funnily enough, as it's by you!) but put in little lines of hope and humour to keep it from being too depressing. You've had a vision of how the story would play out in your head from the beginning and you've stuck to that rigidly to make it very much YOUR story, and that makes it completely your baby. So now if can join Sandy and Ryan, of course. :)

Perhaps after you've finished Colours of Pain, Supernatural and The Power of Speech we might have a happy multi chpater fic!?? :D Go on, I dare you. A loong, fluffy, crack!fic.

Well done, Phil! :D

And grr. That's 17 of your prompts down :(

ww thats it? i wanted to learn more about what happened to ryan and how theyare trying to help him over it and everything
