Clockwork Mockingbird 6/16/13 . chapter 22I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THIS OMG It's roberre's fault, she told me to read it, and I did, and I love it and how could you mess with my feels that way but I still loved it! |
Guest 4/23/13 . chapter 22 The ending had me in tears. Great job - the plot took some getting used to but it was fantastic. |
Guest 4/23/13 . chapter 21 "They'll just keep living it." Brilliant |
Mimi9516 4/15/13 . chapter 7I laughed at this chapter the most! XD It was absolutely brilliant. Loved the ''Planet of the Apes'' part. |
Debochira 4/14/13 . chapter 22Such a great story. I nearly cried when Nellie sings to Toby. I do have to wonder how Sweeney's descendants (if any) are doing. Did he ever run into Joanna or Anthony or their children? Did Toby ever have kids? Wouldn't it be so wonderfully poetic to have one of their offspring be Carol or Tom? I personally think Carol is Joanna's distant granddaughter. Anyway, very good story, thank you for writing such beauty! |
neleo 4/1/13 . chapter 22Oh my god! I just stumbled across this wonderful story of yours yesterday and I just had to read it all! This is the most wonderful story I have ever read! I'm sure I'll dream about it tonight, it just won't let me go! I cried so much during the last chapter it's almost embarrassing to admit but that's just how much I loved the story and how much it touched me! I'll go check out your other stories now, but I'm sure "Passing Strange" is the most brilliant and imaginative of all. Really great. I'm an emotional mess right now, I kind of hate it that the story is over, but you wrote it beautifully and wrapped it up so nice! Lots of love and admiration, Nele (from Germany) |
Hugbug2012 3/24/13 . chapter 22I teared up at the part where she was pregnant and when they died! I love this story, Sweeney and Mrs Lovett stayed in character. This story also had me in a mix of emotions. On one part I was crying, the other I was laughing! Brilliant idea, immortality, never thought if it! Great story! |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 22Dammit. Dammit, dammit, dammit. You may congratulate yourself. This is most probably the only fanfiction EVER that literally bourght tears to my eyes. I'm not kidding you. Yes, I almost cried while reading the epilogue, because I just KNEW that they will die. *sob* Sh*t, I don't want them to die! I want them to be foreeever young! ..but yes, we all need to grow up. Sometimes unfortunately. Damn, I really need a handkerchief. It's just too amazing, too awesome, too lovely, too REAL story. I just can't. Too many feels. I don't know what to say, honestly. I feel like an old friend left me, even that I started to read this story two days ago. Woah. That was quick. :'( :) ... The text on their gravestone was...fantastic, with the touch of their little weird humor. "It's About Bloody Time." Yep. I don't want to finish this review, because when I will click on the little blue button, it will mean that the story is really over. But there is still afterlife, right? The Fates better make sure of that ;) And I just realized something - you know the "proverb": "The magic won't die as long as people believe in it." ? Well, I say something similar: Our beloved fictional characters won't die as long as we ship them, we live with them, we cry and laugh over them and we remember them. :') ... I'll go to listen to Skyfall now. I don't know what else could soothe my feeeelings. And later, I'll scroll through Tumblr, tagged Sweenett. And I will eat loads of chocolate. ... Sorry for the language in this last review and sorry for spamming your e-mail box :) And...thank you for writing this story. It's one of the best fics I ever read :) With best regards, hervissa :') |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 21YES! YES! THEY SAID IT! MWAHAHAHAHA! xD Sorry, had to dance with my foxterrier around the room :D In other news: Urd had a fun, Sweeney became the King of Snowboarding, Louie is cutie and I'm grinning like an idiot. It's just so amazing how you write it all, and it looks so...realistic! And of course - only Sweeney shouts the declaration of love. But things like that are the reasons why we love him, right? ;) "Lovett would have made a remarkable witch." I don't know if you ARE hinting Bellatrix or not, but it certainly sent me laughing to the floor again :D Fates are just awesome :D I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE LAST CHAPTER! ..but I have to. Well, better be going. hervissa :) |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 20Once again, this story made my day. I'm literally grinning the whole time I read XD And Nellie is most probably addicted to cofee? Welcome to the club! :) Carol is reminding me of one of my best friends :D She, too, always has some Comment, no matter what is the topic of discuss xD I bet that Nellie just LOVED her Christmas Eve, am I right? ;) And I absolutely understand her amazement on the guitar - music is something that doesn't leave you easily...and especially not in Nellie's case. With all the memories from the sixtiest... :D Damn it. I just realized that I have only two chapters left :/ This story is just too good to end so soon! :D ...I should go and make my lunch and get a rid of the snow in our backyard and do a lot of other things, but I just NEED to finish this. Oh, the joy of being addicted to fanfiction :3 And URD IS COMING! Yaaaay! :D ..can't wait... hervissa :) |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 19The Christmas is all around meeee... Well, not exactly, but the mood of the story is slowly rubbing on me :) This chapter was lovely. Really lovely. I was wondering what will Sweeney and Nellie buy for each other, because Christmas gifts are always one of the hardest things to think out in the whole year xD And I think that your ideas are perfect! :D I can't wait for going to the next chapter, because something tells me that it will be...well, EPIC. :) Oh, I just remembered how long it was since I ice-skated...too long. I'm quite jealous of Nellie ;) Urd coming to the Earth? YESSS, PLEASE! It's a dream of every shipper to meet his OTP 3 :D I just don't know what to say without repeating myself - you are amazing, awesome, fantastic, unbelievable writer. And I bow before you *bows* :) hervissa :) P.S. OH MY GOD. YOU REALLY HAD THAT IN THE BOOK?! Sorry for the capitals, but that's just...unbelievable! Urd wanted to thank you for this story, maybe...? ;) Well, consider yourself lucky. Thigs like that happen once, twice in a lifetime :D |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 18I feel like I discovered more things about Sweeney and Nellie than in the whole story altogether XD Thanksgiving Sweenett style? Why not! :D ...and hangovered Sweeney is veeery interesting thought...very good looking thought... *wink wink* xD Oh, X-Box. And Halo. Not even the famous devil barber can resist it ;) And DAMN IT! He was sooooo close! I totally understand Urd's urge to walk to them and tell them something ;) But hey, I can waaaaaaait. Yes. Surely. ... Dammit, I need to finish this story :D hervissa :) |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 17Awwww...finally, Nellie knows it :3 I find it very hard not to squeal with joy at almost every paragraph :D There are just too many awesome things inside this story :) And Sweeney just need more time, I'm sure of that ;) He is a man, he just doesn't get it so easily :D And Urd is just...fantastic. You know, she reminds me of you a little, even that I never met you and all I know about you is from this story xD hervissa :) |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 16I can't help but smile dreamily whenever there is the amazing line "tall, dark and handsome" - one of my all-time favourites ;) And it also fit Sweeney perfectly... Woooah. Carol found out. I think that even that she knows that her best friend baked dead people into pies, she has quite a morbid interest in knowing more :D Well, Urd had some plans. Better be careful ;) And you know how you read and imagine it all inside your head? Sweeney looked perfectly while standing in the corner when Nellie talked with Carol... :D hervissa :) |
hervissa 2/14/13 . chapter 15Weeeell. I think that their fight wasn't so bad, was it? At least they are still alive :P ;) You wrote it very well, that's for sure xD I realized that this story is like a drug for me...I just neeeed to read and read and read until there will be The Epic End and I'll have to send the last review :/ :D ... I must say it, I sighed in relief when they calmed down. (I siriusly need a life. Caring about fictional characters more than about real people... ;)) hervissa :) |
