This story is nearly 12 years old. It's likely you may not read this review, but I wanted to say that this is one of the best fics I've ever read, regardless of the fandom, the genre, the pairing, anything. It's well paced, wonderfully characterized in a way that respects the characters but also gives them room to grow in the story itself, effectively emotional and smart, well-researched (the appendix scene, the math, etc.), and, most surprisingly, so structurally sound you could set an earthquake under the thing; from the prologue to the final chapter, the way you've structured the work is really, really so well done, with call backs and parallels and the like. I give a lot of praise for the locus scene in particular - though, of course, that's only one of too many great scenes to name - where the description of the physicality of things, the intimacy removed from emotion, is fantastic, visual, and mature in so many different ways. If I had to point out any criticism at all, it'd be that a bit of the drama after the "return" felt a *tiny* bit out of character, maybe a bit too hysterical at times. But that's such a small issue - a non-issue, really - that it doesn't even matter.

I can't say enough how much I truly admire this fic and the work put into it. Wonderful, wonderful job.

Jesus H, that was fully awesome. Delicious angst. I've never even seen an episode of the show and I loved it

so glad i found this. this was the first fanfic i ever read. amd damn its as good as i remeber. this is a wonderful story with a lot of plot and character development.

i love it to bits.

Very much enjoyed this it was just what I needed today, Thanks for Writing!

This story is so good. Honestly I come back to it again and again. Thank you

and even after the third reread it's still a unbelievable good story...

Damn, humankind was not meant for this kind of isolation. I liked the bear though, it's a shame it had to die.

Damn, now I want a mountain hidey hole. Looks like Kim is gonna math it up. I mean damn, not just math, there's gonna be a bunch of engineering to create a new ring and all that jazz. This is gonna take a while.

This looks amazing.

I've read this story twice over! Sad to see it end. So we'll written. :)

Hey, Failte, I stumbled upon this fanfic yesterday while exploring new fanbases and I read through the night because I couldn't bring myself to look away. I wanted to thank you profusely for writing such a masterpiece of a tale, and also to tell you that your work has found its place in my heart, next to the few other great examples of writing I have managed to find in the dusty library of fanfiction.
Basically, I loved your story, and I hope you still read your reviews so you find out :D
