That was so realistic! The image of Mello "dancing" freaked me out, especially when he was murmuring to himself, but in a good way. I loved that Matt humming Ave Maria snapped Mello out of it- the song truly has that effect on me and all the other Catholics I know. :3 Powerful piece of music ^_^

Loved the fic!

I know this story was written awhile ago, but I still feel that I should review. (I enjoyed it so much!) I stumbled across it out of luck.

It's rare that Mello is depicted in such a vulnerable state. It seems like Matt is always the one breaking down, and Mello is always the one picking up the pieces. It's refreshing to have their usual roles reversed. :) Everyone has moments like Mello's in this one-shot. Just because he never shows it, doesn't mean he's fortunate enough to have no regrets, heart ache, anger (Actually, we all know Mello has anger.), and frustration toward life in general.

Sometimes it takes simple things to make a person feel better. Matt had no idea singing that song would evoke such a drastic reaction in Mello. Who knew that doing something so small could make such a difference? Mello's strange, as are all of the other Wammy kids. :D So it makes sense that his reaction to things is also strange. Ah...I like strange.

Anyway, this is amazing. It's rare that I find something that affects me so profoundly. This is very creative and beautifully written. :) I love it.

OMG ;((

That made me cry, really.

I just could not hold back tears when Mello is crying, it always made my heart hurts ;( And im highly Catholic too and I think it's beautyful!! I've been in bad mood, it was so sad, and at some point I felt tears falling freely from my eyes ;(

But after a good cry I fetl a lot better :) Thank you very much for that fanfiction!

Sory for any English mostakes but Im NOT English ...

Well, another lovely piece, and while I still don't think Mello is religous, I love the way you write him; the way you write [i]them[/].

This is my favorite bit:

[i]Matt smiled. "And what will you do to me if I tell?"

"Probably shoot you in the knees."

Matt smiled wider at that. "There you are. I though for a moment that I'd lost you."[/i]

That was the most tender bit of dialogue. I could completely relate to Mello's breakdown as well as Matt while watching him. Beautiful work.

Reading your stuff always makes me feel clean.

aw i had to get that song, and i listened to it and it's a wonderful peice. the lyrics sound german i love this it s amazing

There's so much I want to say about this piece. It's beautifully written, and it almost made cry. I'm not sure why it did though, considering I'm not a very religious person. You have a true gift for words. Don't ever stop writing.

One of the best MelloxMattplusrelgion fictions I've read. I'm simply stunned.

Right when you put in the words to that psalm I broke down and cried. That was beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Pardon the language, but that was the most ** gorgeous piece of literature I have ever read. It was so touching, I nearly cried. And the ending was beautifully perfect. It was so sad, and sweet, and the little "God forgive me" was... aww. No words. I absolutely adored it.

Wow, is all i can say. It was very beautiful. Definately not what was I was expecting. I was expecting it to be crack or something until I looked at the genres. As for critism a few grammar mistakes, but nothing that distracts from the story. Keep writing!

this kicks the ** out of your everyday, run of the mill fanfic. wipes the ** floor with them. holy hell, i love every bit of this. the catholic references, the title, mello's breakdown and rebuild. it was all brilliant and shocked me to death. can't explain the depths of my love for it. wow.

Gah, that was beautiful! I even loved the note about which ave maria it was at the end, and mello was so loveably broken and the romance worked in perfectly. ^_^ Best ever mello-having-a-religious-guilt-complex scene!

Oh my God...I'm speechless. I'm crying like some idiot. I-I...This. What's there to say? This was beautiful, thought-provoking, tear-inducing, I'm sure you've heard 'em all before. I'm done with reading fanfics for the night. The mood your story has put me in is something I don't want to come out of. I really wish I could say something more flattering or at least eloquent but I'm bad at reviewing stories I like, especially the EPIC ones. "Awesome writing. Peace." just doesn't cut it.

Wow, for someone who was claimed to be speechless, this has turned into a lenghty little review, huh? ((ultra favorites))

Aw...I recognize that psalm! It's so sad...and I heard it somewhere just the other day! Now why didn't I think of that? (Don't mind me, I say this ALL the time.)
A lovely little story. I shall come back and read it again sometime. Possibly right after clicking the review button. Yes, I think I shall.

Wow, this is beautiful. You have amazing imagery and I just feel so sorry for them.
This deserves more than one review, for sure.
