Lovely...(not sure what the title refers to though)

Beautiful!

that was amazing!

Fantastic!

Another tearjerker. I love this whole story - re: the triggers that brought back painful moments. In order for those memories to heal, like in their case, Matthew shared his own feelings how everytime he was at the Abbey, saw her and how much he wanted her. I was reminded the time he met Carlisle for the first time and he looks at her, she looks at him, then at the dinner table, he's staring into his own thoughts and then looks at her only to find she's looking at him with such tenderness and longing. I believe he was thinking about how Carlisle would be the one holding her close, kissing her and making love to her, and it was eating him up. So dramatic in one 2 second scene - tells their hearts. Love your writing and picking up on the little things.

I love reading your stories and especially the intense passion, love and desire when you write for Mary and Matthew.
I can imagine that fear/what if, would pop up because they are now so happy together.

This is hauntingly lovely.

This was utterly beautiful. Thank you.

I adored this! So well written, emotional, touching, everything I had hoped for when I opened it to read it.

Oh, that was good. I loved how you portrayed them as a happy couple but inserted a kind of hypothetical angst - the kind of strange yearning/heartache that comes imagining how you might have missed out on what you have. I looked up the sonnet and it made the story all the more poignant. Very, very nicely done.

That was so beautiful! I love it! :)

Wow, love it.

So sweet, kind-of-angsty Mary's thoughts, and still so hot one-shoot. I reaaally like the way you write .

Ugh. So hot, and so sweet. Gorgeous stuff. I just adore the idea of remembering a time when they couldn't love each other like that, the possibility that they might never have been able to just making it all the sweeter... Oh, wonderful. I feel gooey and may need to read it again!

Aww, that was so bittersweet! :( I love the idea of something like that coat bringing back memories of the war, and the idea that none of it might be real. Love the idea of the lucky charm still in his pocket, triggering all these feelings. Sigh, and that he called her his "storm braver"...aww! :D I think it's such a powerful idea - to remember a time when they weren't allowed to show their feelings - and contrast it with the happiness they have now...sigh, just wonderful. :) Thank you for this wonderful peek into the future...keep writing! :D

This was very beautiful. I imagine that the depth of Mary's sorrow at the way she had to hide how she felt about Matthew during the War will come out during their relationship, and the idea that he would try to reassure her that no, he always felt it to, she wasn't alone...agh. It's lovely.
