I haven't been on FF.N for ages but came back because I wanted a Newsies fix and this story is just...great!

Amazing work! I thought you did an absolutely amazing job! 33

this has got to be one of my all time favourite fics! you guys rocked! (and i loved your dutchy)

Hello from 8million years after this was written

I really fucking enjoyed this fic, thank you.

You dont understand how much I love and adore this story and the prequel and how many times I’ve re-read it when I was sad, bored, needed cheering up or just wanted a reminder if how amazing Newsies is and how amazong this story is. I love it so much and it was like a the final nail in what became my love for newsies lol that made me really love it and the characters

I found this story nearly nine years ago. It's funny I think about it constantly and I reread it at least once every year. It's kind of funny that at this point everything you've done wrong has had such a huge impact on my life that it's become a comfort. Every time I read it I just feel so good inside. Idk. I think it's funny. I never really reread fanfictions. This is the only one.

uhm not to be that guy but it's pretty fucked up to say anorexia is oddly sexy...like that's really fucked up and insensitive and disgusting

I know you must have gotten hundreds of people saying this same thing, but I'm going to say it anyway. This is the most amazing fanfiction I have ever read. I've read it 3 times now, and every time, it still gives me all the same feels. The character development, the descriptions, the entire story-I cannot express enough how well written and interesting-not to mention fucking beautiful!-this story is! Bless your existence. I love this story, and I'm going to ramble if I don't stop here, but still. Beautiful. I just fucking love this story so goddamn much and I don't know if I'll ever read a fanfiction this good again. Unless it's something else you write, that it. Haha Okay. Bye. 333

aw man, do you guys ever check back here?I know it was finished, what like 8 years ago now?But I'm sick and laid up in bed and feeling shitty so I re-read it, still think its a great story, I hope you're both doing amazing things with your lives (and maybe writing professionally...?) This story is so bitter-sweet for me now since I've read everything else you posted on your livejournal. Do they ever get their HEA?

Please keep writing the series im hooked! And i know its been sooo may years but this is amazing to amazing to give up on so im trying even thiught most likely your not reading this!But i still have hope please! Continue writing! Please?! This storie was amazing!

All the tears.
Effing. Phenomenal. I swear, there's a whole EYDW fandom WITHIN the newsies fandom, my GOD I can see why.

Okay, wow, I'm crying.

I know full well that this story was posted years and years ago, and that you guys probably never read the reviews anymore, and that you have lives and all that shit now, but I just wanted to say that I have read a TON of fanfiction, and this is by far the best I've ever written. It's so good I have wanted to make fanfiction about this fanfiction. This is the story I will reread whenever it's rainy out and I don't feel like getting my homework done, and it's part of what made me start to write my own stories - though they are truly horrible, so that may not be a compliment. You guys really have made a masterpiece, and should be proud of yourselves.

Wow.

I just read this whole thing for six days straight on my ipod - I picked it up the day after I finished TGCotPB. I was so, unbelievably emotionally invested in this 'verse - I even had a dream that took place in this 'verse a few nights ago! I was really hesitant about reading tie whole story, prequel included, considering in clocks in at about 400,000 words all together, but I just loved it. I adore your characterization - your Dutchy, your David, your Mush, your Blink, your Jack, and of course your Spot, who totally roped me into the story since he first appeared. This was really brilliant - I hope to write this well someday. I hope I can keep people so into my story that they keep a tab open with it at all times until they finish. There really isn't a better word for this than WOW. Magnificent.

I think I didn't breathe through most of this chapter. Great fic so far.
