beautiful story. so healing for us all. you've given m/m the "noble death" Fellowes couldn't!

Crying because this is beautiful and so so sad. Ugh the feels. You write such wonderful stories even the short ones leave something imprinted on my heart. Loved it and you deserve so much praise that I alone cannot afford you. I hope you have a huge fanbase because you deserve it.

Thank you for this (and for the shorter drabbles on tumblr). This and the others have been poignant, so perfectly in character. Can't say they're a balm to the emotions, exactly, but they're a vital part of this painful process of saying goodbye to M/M.

Gaaaaaaah...how do you DO this!?

I love your writing...*madly.* And I'm sitting here grinning through tears.

Thank you. 3

Sobbing but happy that finally Mary and Matthew reunited. What a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing.

OMG, Beautiful!

Painfully beautiful and difficult and everything DA post series three seems to be. I like the notion of Mary growing older and being a storm braver and yet being forever changed and a little lost. And the ending with Matthew and Sybil there again. And the last line so Sybil. Beautiful.

Thanks for the tearjerker! Why do I have such a tough time thinking of Mary being old? Oy. Escpecially the now canon version of a Matthew-less Mary... too much for me to wrap my head around. Beautifully written, though, despite my raging emotions...

This was so well Done it made me cry. You write beautifully. One request- can we have a short fic where Matthew is alive sometime? I have been refusing to read anything in which the cs is canon but when I saw your name as author I had to read.

Wonderful!

So lovely, it made me cry! I hate that it's potentially canon instead of AU but really so lovely.

Crying because this is perfection. Oh, Mary, she will brave the storm, but she won't ever feel complete again, no matter what JF will give us next year (and the one to follow). Thanks for this, after these comments yesterday it was just what I needed.

This was absolutely beautiful. I love it. It made me tear up at the end.

Wow this moved me to tears.

You are such a talented writer :)

That made me sob! This is so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Love the references to the canon past and the references to what happenned to Mary and her son. You do justice to character of Mary. Thank you for writning such a beautiful story.
