 Randomwritergirl15 1/31/12 . chapter 1Perfect, no other word can describe this. From the fight, to the flashbacks, to Alan's near emotional-breakdowns, it's all executed with perfection. The pacing is wonderful, everyone's in character, and it seems almost as if it could actually be cannon. My heart cracked more and more with every flashback, because I had to be reminded that they were just memories.
Eric was perfectly protective, I wanted to punch Will and Sebastian in their faces, Alan made my heart crack, and this whole thing just made me cry. All the flashbacks were perfectly written, and the best thing I've ever read to describing the two in the early stages of their relationship. It felt real; not too romantic, and not too sudden.
Will angered me to no extent here, because he just couldn't let poor Alan go, when it was clear he would be better off just sleeping, grieving, and staying away from everyone. His disbelief that they were dating, and his questions to confirm that Eric was a 'willing participant' in the relationship just made me want to scream.
And the ending; oh my God, then ending. Alan, broken, beaten, and unsure of what will happen next, finds that one little note from Eric, as if he was telling him to just keep going, for him, because he loved him. Six simple words made me bawl and smile all at the same time.
I say it once again; perfect. Thank you for writing this exquisite story. |
 pseudonymical 12/8/11 . chapter 1I actually cried. :C
So, so sad. I also thought what you did at the end of the musical-it was probably a good thing that Alan went first. Eric seems like he'd be better able to deal with death. ...Of course, he died too, so... but whatever.
This fic reminds me a little of one I found on dA, by Hopie-Cat. I think it's called "Seven Days" but I'm not sure.
Anyway, great job. :) |
