Oh how I loved this story. It was so beautiful and really reflected the struggle. Thankyou for writing it and for letting it have the happy ending.

Great story line i think it has been captivating all the way through though i think there should have been nd epilogue to find what happened.

Just found this truly delightfult story and loved every moment of it. Wonderful job.

Bloody... freaking... story/author alerts... DON'T WORK! I tick the boxes every time I review, I'm sure of it now because I've been making sure I do. AND I NEVER GET ANY NOTIFICATIONS!

Ahem... sorry.

Overall thoughts: omgitsfinished.

And now my thoughts in detail: omgitsfinished.



But no, really. I'll be serious now. It's nice to have the ending to it but after so much buildup and tension and fabulous chapters, it's sad to realise that we're not going to really be getting any more of that :(

I love the way Georg thinks about the worst-case scenario first, and then comes to realise that Maria is worth the risk. Bet she's thinking all the same things he is as she's standing against that door. Maybe not exactly everything... but pretty much.

I love the details you put in, like how thrilled he is when she smiles. *sigh* And I LOVE his sudden realisation of "She had allowed it.", then his revisiting of all these moments and realising how blind-blind-BLIND he had been. *double sigh*

And OH MY! How adorably cheeky and bold of the captain to undo her coat and remind her of all the times he has gone a little too far with her as an employee. Cheeky and bold... but quite delightful! I love that Maria's only verbal response to that is: "Yes, I see what you mean." Bahah!

And it's a really sweet idea for Maria to have worn the awful outfit again the next morning. Tres symbolic. And of course I love that Brigitta does, after all, slip in a little remark about how she pretty much knew all along! Lovely.

A really wonderful story :) You know I love your writing, and you should definitely know that I look forward to any stories to come! Thank you so so much for sharing. And sorry for the delay in reviewing.

WOW..what a tempting story...thanks for sharing

wow, this is an amazing piece of art. i give you thousands of kudos. love the way you captured the Captain's feelings.

I cannot believe this chapter has been in existence for a whole week without me knowing about it! I've been really overworked this week, and have a heavy cold, and this has been just the most perfect pick me up after all that! I was so excited to finally check my emails and find the alert.

Once again, it was just fab! I loved the way Georg rewound through all his old memories of their moments, watching them afresh and with a new clarity once he started to realise how blind they both had been.

I wish I could say more because there are lots more things I enjoyed, but my brain is befuddled with my cold, so I will leave it at this: thank you for a truly lovely few weeks with this fic. I have thoroughly enjoyed it!

Wonderful!
I'm glad you had the captain fully realize everything that happened...it just fit wonderfully.
Honestly, I'm at a loss of words, and I was putting this off to gather some better vocabulary in order to describe just how great this is, but if I put it off much longer it will never get done.
I want to thank you for posting this story, updating in a very nice fashion, for reading these comments, replying, and just being amazing :)
Can't wait to read anything else you post!

My apologies for once again not reviewing very quickly. I can assure you that I always read your chapters right away.

I think it worked out that you had them discuss everything at night instead of waiting until the next morning. I don't think either of them would have gotten very much sleep, constantly wondering how the other one truly felt and all. Also, once the Captain heard Maria it was unlikely that he would be able to avoid going to her. :) As we all know from your previous chapters.

This one was awesome! I'm so happy with the ending and how they resolved everything. The conversation seemed to flow very well. I do think you gave the Captain a bit of a break though, because Maria kind of, sort of, admitted her feelings first. But, overall I was still quite happy with it and loved that he finally came out and said the truth to her. She deserves it.

And you KNOW I loved the kisses and how he told her that he had trouble resisting her "charms". ;)

I can't wait to see what you'll do now that you've finished this story. Will you take a break? Start another? Or maybe write some little oneshots/vignettes?

Aw, it was kind of bittersweet for me too like to the majority here. But have to say I enjoyed every single line of your story. When I saw you had updated I immediately thought that the end was coming so I resisted to start reading. Silly me, because it was one of the best chapters. Congrats sincerely and I do hope and beg you to continue with another great Maria & Georg fiction.

I loved this story so much. Great ending, although I didn't want it to end.. ;) Would love to read a sequel! Keep up the writing, your work is amazing.

Brilliant finish. You know how much I loved this story. I do hope you have other ideas in your head to pen down for these two. :)

You managed to update before I exploded!! Yay!! :) once again, it was another brilliant chapter. As much as I loved the ending, I am kinda sad that it's over. :( but once again you did a wonderfull job :) I can't wait to read whatever you write next (and you better continue writing, a talent like yours shouldn't be wasted). I'm sure it'll be just as brilliant :)

A shame it´s over, I really enjoyed it, just one little thing you might want to think about when you write another story, it´s set in Austria in the 1930s and almost all people who write TSOM stories- unfortunately including you- don´t do enough research- for example, people in Austria don´t have eggs or sausage for breakfast, that´s typical English, Austrian or German people eat rolls or bread and cheese and jam and things like that for breakfast, especially back in those times- but that´s just a small thing of course and it doesn´t dampen my enjoyment in the slightest ;)

I wish I knew some Spanish to convey the appreciation of the effort that has gone into this story. (Unfortunately Spanish is not a big language in New Zealand). I'm glad there's finally closure, but sad there won't be any more chapters. I like how it didn't follow the storyline of the movie and how Maria talked about her guilt. I also loved Brigitta's comments.
A job well done!
