I haven't read yet but I want to let you know how excited I am to be reading something new from you :D

[andbless_mybaby]

Aww, thank you. It feels good to have finished something! I'll be looking forward to knowing how you liked it. :)

[pcdarkrose]

OMG! Where do I start? How about that nod to Gatsby? That was an indicator as to how magnificent this would be.

So eloquently written. Heart wrenching. So chilling. Paire + apocalypse=my other OT3

Peter wanting to commit suicide so he doesn’t have to feel the guilt of what he’s done and because he’s scared of hurting the last person he loves.*heart shatters*

The imagery, the metaphors…remarkable.

I love how Claire is his anchor. Peter crying for Nathan, okay now the pieces of my heart are bleeding.

I am such a masochist lol and I love it because you write Paire beautifully.

[andbless_mybaby]

Thank you so very much for that beautiful feedback. Paire is actually not my favorite pairing ever, so (like I said to mab below) it means everything to me that you guys who are fans of the two of them enjoyed it.

Seriously - thank you for reading. :)

[andbless_mybaby]

Thank you x1,000,000. You just made my whole day, pretty much. :)

[andbless_mybaby]

Oh my god, you are so incredibly awesome! It feels so, so good to have had the time/motivation to even *finish* a story, and you pretty much put the icing on the proverbial cake. I'm a thoroughly happy Steph right now!

oh, jesus christ. this was so good that it hurt me. and oh please, PLEASE your note at the beginning is such bullshit. i will hunt down any paire fan that dares to skip this deeply sensual yet lonely fic. i'm sure they won't because just a couple sentences in and you will have them hooked.

i really like the angle you take on peter and claire. its quite different from the usual, yet...its very peter and claire. they will always have a broken heart at the center of their love, no matter how wonderful it is. thank you for never forgetting that.

in more general terms, i have missed your writing SO SO SO SO much, and i'm pleased that you have more time for it in the future. thank you, steff, this was beautiful.

[andbless_mybaby]

I only speak the truth.

I'm deeply, deeply happy that you enjoyed this. You know that I'm really not a big Paire lover, and it's gratifying to know that I didn't flub the dynamic.

I really do think the world of you as a writer. I was rereading some of your stuff the other day (during the monsters' afternoon nap... can I just say thank god for regular-ish sleep patterns?!), and was marveling at how I pretty much adore everything you've ever written. Although I will say that I've now read "Wanted" so many times that there are certain parts of it that I could probably recite from memory.

Long story short, I appreciate your appreciation. :)

[sinverguenza]

oh, stop. you flatter me! i actually saved some of your sylar/claire fics to my hard drive, just in case you ever decided to delete them.

so i appreciate YOU right back, missy.

I don't really know where to begin, because I feel like there is just so much I want to say. I've said again and again that I love your writing, but it's more than just that. It's like poetry, your writing. Beautiful. I can't stress enough how much it just breaks my heart. And Paire? Kills me. It makes me exceptionally happy that you're still with Heroes. Thank you for posting this.

[andbless_mybaby]

Thank you so, so very much. I'm terribly happy that you enjoyed it. :)

[kathrynthegr8]

Wow, I just. Amazing. Someone commenting above me said it was a beutiful yet lonely story, and I have to agree. This fic is so good, I never want to write again, cause damn girl!

Welcome back, you have been missed!

[andbless_mybaby]

Thank you. I've missed myself, lol.
