This absolutely destroyed me - my eyes are so swollen from all the crying.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't sure if I should have posted it for that very reason.

But thanks for reading and commenting.

I guess a little warning like 'character death' wouldn't hurt... Apart from that, I really dunno what to say. Except, I have no idea how and am in awe that you could exist in the frame of mind necessary to write this. However you got there, the result is outstanding. There were lines that got to me so badly, I couldn't go on reading. This was heartbreaking.

I thought of putting the warning in, but I wanted that effect of being punched in the gut.

As for being in the frame of mind necessary to write this, it's funny you mention it. I never know exactly how it is that I write anything. When I step back and look at the words I've written, I end up thinking "how the hell did that happen?" That's not to say I don't know how I feel when I'm writing... like I said in the note, this demanded to be written. I couldn't do anything or focus on anything until I sat down and pulled it out of me.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Your icon seems really appropriate, for some reason.

Hi, I have a favor to ask, is there any way you could private message me and let me know which character dies? I'm going through a bit of depression at the moment and I'm not sure I can handle a character death for a certain pairing. I figured if it's too much for me now I hope I'll be in a better frame of mind later to read your story because I'm sure I'm going to love it.

Wait, what?!
HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS.
Brb, dragging myself away from temptationcomputer so I actually get shit done.

...But this is so tempting D:

Take your time. It's kind of intense.

i just finished reading.

no one knows unless they've been there. unless they've been screaming no to a space in bed and talking in dreams and seeing the transparency... in the dream... you see through them. and you wake with tears, again screaming no, trying to barter with god for the life of someone who is gone. trying to barter with them and begging.

Thank you, for pulling my heart out of my chest, for making me cry, for reminding me and scaring me and moving me.
Grief sucks, you are brave enough to write it.
I salute you.

Salute reciprocated,
For being brave enough to read it.

I debated posting it at all, unsure of exactly how it might hit people. That you found something compelling in it, beyond overwhelming sadness, means a lot to me.
