The backward progression of the storyline threw me off in the beginning a bit, but I did enjoy the story. I especially like how it worked it's way back to the scene on the beach where he proposes. I see you have your sequel published, so I will check that out too. Thanks!

Nice way to end it, by bringing it back to the beach. Really well done and it finished the series nicely. Great Job!

great chapter I loved it

I love the last scene Next chapter!

Really good chapter. I wasn't familiar with the song, so I wasn't really sure what the direction or tone the chapter would take, but I liked it. You covered quite a bit; there were a lot of characters and a lot happened, but you managed to pull it off, so kudos.

great one

I liked Chuck's realization that for now, even if its not everything he wanted, he was okay with their "relationship" as it was. Ah, the angst of unrequited love, lol. Good job!

Another strong chapter CFEWB! I'm glad you decided to include Sarah's part at the end. That and the fact that Casey did come through for Chuck was a nice way to finish off the chapter.

This is sad. Very, very sad. But all in a good way. Sort of.

The sort of derives from that I hope this never really happens to them, or to Chuck, for that matter. I think one thing about the sadness of it that makes it all the more real is that there is in fact a possibility of it happening, one the show constantly wants to remind us of and keeps throwing at us, and this fic enhances just that part of the panic we feel when watching by making those "worst case" scenarios in our head real.

Loved the shirt thing. It's very Sarah-appropriate: she's a pro but even spies slip, some times. We know she's slipped more than once and so does she.

Ok now, I just read this before work and now I gotta head off with this pathos hanging over me, hah. Anyway, keep the parts coming because they're awesome indeed!

I absolutely love the song choice! Well done.

I really enjoyed this chapter! Nice introspection from Chuck and Sarah's POV's, which went well with the lyrics. Keep up the good job!

Well, another great chapter! do you really wrote about randam songs or do you pput the songs into the stories? either way it is brilliant how they all make perfect sense and go together so well! Can't wait for the next update!

Em

I like the piercing angst of this chapter. It's that sort of angst where the hope isn't especially bright or colorful or in a shade of light, but rather in a darker shade where it's sort of reaching to be seen at all. It's not heavy enough to make you want to cry, but it's there and it's real. It's there like it's there for Chuck and Sarah, a reality, and I like how REAL it feels.

Most people who write fanfiction here completely forget about this angst, that THIS is in fact most of Sarah and Chuck's reality, the fate of never-possibility; the fate of a thousand what-ifs and lasting glances and longing, aching touches. And it makes us, the readers, ache at the end, because these characters are so close to our heart and they are real, for us, just as this is real.

Keep up the good work)

First off: I really loved all of this. You're very true to the characters, how you word them, their small mannerism... very canon, very smooth and on point. Your writing is also that: the kind where the writer writes so convincingly that there is just no room of doubt for the reader to ever think "wait, they wouldn't do/say/act like this/that...
I'm a huge fan of the element of sonorous incorporation in any fictional medium, be it a TV show, a movie, or just for setting a mood... I'm the annoying type who if faced with a moment in fiction where the music is set horribly against the scene, I can stop watching it for that sole reason. I'm very sensitive reg. it.

I think with all this, you have to figure out what your main intent with the incorporated songs is do you want to use the lyrical meaning and that only, or the actual mood of the song, or, both?

I've always found that including some note reg. that in your A/N is always welcome.

I hope I don't come off sounding like a big bitch with this. I'm just a fan of CC:constructive criticism) and likewise as I impose it upon others I would expect nothing short of the same back at me
Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next chapter!

Great job. My favorite so far has been The Scientist chapter. Very good use of the lyrics and tying it back to the Charah beach scene from the pilot. Those scenes at the beach have always been one of my favorite Charah moments. Can't wait for more!
