Truly epic.

Wow, you are truely gifted, absolutely outstanding work! Honestly, there aren't enough words to describe just how wonderful this title is. I look foward to reading more from you!

Blessings and keep up the good work!

Wow! Wow! Wow! *Currently speechless, trying to be coherent* lol
That was a beautiful ending to a wonderful story! I'm soo glad I found this story!!
The scene in the end of Titanic when Rose joins everyone as she was, was always bittersweet to me because it gave some semblance of closure to something so traumatic and heartbreaking...And after having read those last moments, I feel you placed Angie firmly into the story so that I could see her in that room re-uniting with everyone!
“Can I stay here forever now, Tommy?”... “Aye, lass; it’s your time.” *sniff* priceless!
AND
“Where’s Rose?” I ask him as he turns. I am not jealous or upset; I want to see her. ... “It’s not her time yet. But she’ll come soon.” ... “Welcome back to Titanic, Angie,”

WOW! WOW! WOW! WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO SHOW THE COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION OF A SCARED, INSECURE AND LOVESICK GIRL INTO A COURAGEOUS, UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTING YOUNG WOMAN.

ALL IS AS IT SHOULD BE, FOR ANGIE IS HOME!

This was BEAUTIFUL. I got goosebumps. You're a wonderful writer! I've got tears in my eyes, typing this, lol. Oh, wow. I promise I'll get to the review in a minute, haha.

Okay, here we go. I love how you started this off with a newspaper article, announcing her death. It's pretty realistic...almost every time a 'Titanic' survivor died, it was in the paper. Most recently was one about the very last 'Titanic' survivor passing on, and it was much like the one you wrote yourself. Great work!

I also loved how the next entry was in her son's POV. That was a great way to do it. To, in a way, continue your story through Angie's family. So, in a way, your story will never end. It'll go on and on in each of Angie's decedents. And that's a priceless, precious thing. You captured the very essence of that fact.

And then we get to the very end...Angie returning to the ship; to everyone she'd lost. I'm going to be looking for Angie in the crowd, whenever I watch that scene in the movie from now on. That's how well she fits. That's how well you wrote her. She's a wonderful character.

The way she tried to apologize, and the way everyone told her not to blame herself, that was so bittersweet. I liked that you had them all speaking with one another. In the movie, all that's shown is them smiling at Rose, as she walks along. I like your version MUCH better. :-D

I love how she's had this dream all along, and now it's really happening. It's almost like part of her was always in contact with everyone, her whole life long. That they were never really GONE from her. You know what I mean, lol? Oh, well. I don't feel like being articulate right now, anyway, lol. A part of Angie was always with them, and vise versa. There, that a bit better. Haha.

"Can I stay here forever now, Tommy?" OH. MY. GOD. That line almost made me cry! It was so -- again -- bittersweet. And then the way she was young again (I liked her reaction to that, too, by the way. You showed she noticed, but didn't expect it. Also something we didn't get in the movie, as Rose herself walked.) I also like the way you had her understanding Helga, how their really was no real language. They all just understood each other. I think you did a better job at describing that time in heaven, or whatever it is, better than any other version I've read. You did it simply, but it wasn't simple at all.

And how she wanted to see Rose...showed how everything changed. And then closure with Jack...she finally got to see him. That was really nice to see. You missed nothing! Tied up every loose end. GREAT, great work.

"Every is as it should be." I really felt that, not just KNEW it because Angie said so. You're so great at capturing the very essence of an atmosphere. Wow.

"I am home. I am home." And that was a perfect last line. Perfect. Made me nearly cry AGAIN! lol

This fic was a complete and utter joy to read. Thanks for sharing your talent, your imagination and your 'baby' with us!

Okay, I'll admit that I'm terrible at reviewing, but I have to say it now--this was one of the best stories I have ever read. I hope you continue to write in the future.

*sniffs* It's so sad that its the end...I love how Angie got to experience a long and prosperous life after everything that happened to her on Titanic...I think I really cried at the end where she was reunited with Fabrizio, Tommy, Jack and the others..I'm so glad that she gets to spend eternity with them! You are a great writer and Angie is one of my favorite characters even though she wasn't in the movie...I'm glad that she let us all share her life journey with us..I think we are all indebted to her for that!

Beautifully done. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

I'm so sad to see this fic end, but wow; what a great ending to a great fic! I really hope you continue writing in the future; you're great at it!! :)

Yeah, so I totally cried. Dude, I'm such a sap.

Any hey! Both of my theories were kind of right. That's so awesome. Actually, this was the perfect combination of endings. Did I mention that I cried? Indeed.

I can't possibly praise this story enough. Ninety percent of the time I make it three chapters into an fic with an OC and lose interest but Angie was/is such an engaging and honest character that I couldn't help but love her. She's the perfect example of how to write an OC without making your reading wound themselves with all the eye rolling. I'm also in awe of all your research and the care that went into doing justice to the Titanic tragedy. Seriously, my Titanic fic aspires to be even one third as good as your Titanic fic.

And...yeah. Now what am I supposed to do? Yeesh. The only solution is for you to write another chapter fic soon. Yup, that's the only thing to be done.

Wow, what an end.
I love it, I loved this story in all its entirety.
You've done an amazing job on this, and I am going to be very sad not seeing the notification emails in the inbox no longer, but I guess you couldn't have dragged it on forever :(
However, I applaud you for this story, it is truly a work of art.
I'll miss this so much!

Too lazy to login... This was a poignant and fitting way to end the story, next generation passing along the story. Entirely timely considering I just saw the headline that the last Titanic survivor just died the other day, so now there are no more living survivors. Feels like a heavy page has been turned, doesn't it?

This has been an excellent story, and considering I honestly and truly dislike the movie intensely, I had a few hurdles to overcome so that I COULD enjoy it. You created a believable and engaging character, and treated the canonical ones with more depth and, I daresay, respect than Cameron did. So huge White Star liner-sized kudos to you.

Your story also really made me pine for first-hand documentation from my ancestors. There's nothing. At all. And it's tragic. Even if they were never disaster survivors, there's nothing about them BY them. Who were they? How did they feel about their life and choices? Would that everyone felt as Angie did, then they wouldn't simply be names in a death ledger or on a tombstone.

So, that's where she's going! It's great that she was able to catch up with all the survivors.
Also, even though it was obvious in a way that Gabe and Angie would end up together, but still they way it happened made me smile.
Finally, the last couple lines were very poignant: "I feel, now, that I have done the Titanic and its passengers what justice I can. I have written down my tale, as much as I can possibly recall. I will store it now in the trunk with the other Titanic things; someday my children will read this and hopefully, my babies, you will understand why I have never been able to speak freely about the Night to Remember. I also hope that you will realize the importance of your names and be proud of them." [sniff, sniff] Very touching!
It is important that they pay homage to those they lost and yet go on with living their life to the fullest as much as they can.

It'll be interesting to see what you put in the last chapter, considering so much was packed into this one. The bit about the Lusitania was neat and oddly realistic, since I thought I read of someone who survived both wrecks, and several others who had been on one and narrowly escaped boarding the other. In other words, it's not preciously special for that to happen to Angie where omg everything cool happens to her. Her matter-of-factness is the characteristic of hers I love best.

The scene with Fabrizio's mother was a nice contrast to Tommy's mom, as I'm sure you intended there to be a study of contrasts between victims' families and their behaviour over the tragedy. It's given this story a real, full flavor - not just the main characters, but everyone!

I would feel utterly dismal if I didn't at least mention that your story is excellent. I am only about seven chapters in, so I have much more to read, but I figured I'd at least thank you for writing a good OC character (I mean, how often does that happen?)

Anyway, thank you.

wow, I'm glad that Angie found happiness with Gabe and I loved the names they gave their children...of course I would think that they would have given their first so Tommy's name..poor guy..still hate what happened to him...I'll miss this story when its finished...have come to cherish it...

P.s. was wondering if we could see the banner?
