...I'm not crying. I'm just allergic to... averted character death. That's it.

...-sniffles-

:D Much better. Still sad that things ended so badly.

I seriously teared up when I read this. Beautiful story.

Oh man HOW have I managed to not read this yet? You just turned my heart into a GIANT FLUFFY BALLOON and then POPPED IT WITH MACHINE GUNS and then GREW 5 MILLION FLOWERS IN THE ASHES.

This was so well-written and fully realized and emotionally gripping. And I do loves me some angst, but I have to say I really appreciated the happy ending because by the end of the first chapter you'd made me fall in love with these two all over again. I actually thought the telephone conversations were more hilarious and adorable than most of the romantic montage scenes in the actual movie. And the second chapter didn't feel tacked-on or like an afterthought at all really, since it nicely paralleled the whole "faking death to escape the cycle" concept in the original story. If it hadn't been for the author's note I would have thought it was your devious plan all along :)

TL;DR: Amazingggg!

(: I've decided I like the cop out because it stops me feeling sad.

Beautiful.

I do adore a good mature MM piece.

Aggghh! *trying desperately not to cry at work* You just had to go and do that, didn't you! Oh, the pain! Dr. Horrible's got nothing on you, this story is so painfully good! I loved the twist at the end of this. Even though things turned out the same, the characters had to go through so much more to get there... This is what the movie would have been if it was made for pg-13 viewers instead of kids.

Excellent work; I would love to see a sequel!

Congratulations, you have made me cry Q_Q

Very emotional~

I am so glad you added the second chapter! I was crying with Roxanne through the whole story. Gods! This is by far the best fic I've read with this pair as of yet! It's SOO real and ethereal at the same time, happy and sad. Just like life.

I almost died when I read the first chapter. It was so sad. I have to admit, it was really good though. Then I read the second chapter and I almost cried because it was so ... I don't even know. It wasn't ENDED. You know? I dunno. I just. *sigh* Okay. Dadgum it. Now I wanna cry again. Man oh man.

Yep, I really like this ending better. :D

This is...wow.

I was originally just going to write something like "Can't talk, trying too hard not to cry," but that would be a cop-out for a fic like this. You at least deserve to hear what I really think, instead of just my emotional reactions.

Not many people can pull off a might-have-been alternate universe thing at all, let alone completely take in the implications of what those alternate-universe actions would eventually lead to. You did it beautifully. It went from slightly funny, to touching, to horrible, to horribly touching, and yes, there was very much a Doctor Horrible feeling there at the end. It was brilliant.

Ah, you made me cry again but for a completely different reason! I'm so glad I went back to your author's page and saw this update. This was such an amazing fanfic as just a one-shot and now with this new ending it's FREAKING PERFECT. Oh, man that so good ;_; You're such a talented writer!

I don't know what to say, but something had to be say. Quite simply, I am SPEECHLESS. :'(

I won't lie, the first chapter made me cry, hell I didn't even skim it when I saw you posted a second chapter cause I was afraid I'd start up again. That being said... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! for the cop-out. Your writting is... I'm at a lose of words, awesome? genuis? able to pull at heart-strings with just a few words? Well, it's all of those things. Keep up the great writting, I'll be looking for future stories.
