What a beautiful style! Very well written and the flow is just flawless. Great job! :)

[yesterday4]

Aw, thanks. :)

Ooooooooh. GORGEOUSLY abstract and lyrical and I can just SEE it happening. ♥

[eucalyptus]

Thank you. Still angry at it though for reasons quite obvious. I think I went into it okay, but it was horrible thereafter.

[rosdrise]

Oh my, you took my request and made it something entirely your own. I had no real idea what I wanted out of this exchange so I just put down the first three items that came to mind. You took my silly little suggestions and turned them into something that can only be described as poetic. Excellent job, thank you so much, it's just beautiful.

[rosdrise]

I have to say that what you chose were quite difficult, but I managed with the first two -- I think. "Spies" was a bit odd for me but I reckon it's all right.

Thank you so much. :) It's actually nice to know that you approve, considering I'm a fan of one of your fics!

[rosdrise]

I totally didn't mean to make things difficult! I honestly couldn't think of anything worthwhile when I sent in my request, so I tried to think of holidayish things. For some reason 'partridge in a pear' tree came to mind (as strange as that is...) as did 'snowball fight.' I have no idea where 'spies' came from.

But anyway, I really liked how you worked them in so creatively. It added a lovely individual twist to it. The entire piece strikes me as more of a prose poem than a story, actually, so the abstract aspect of it works quite well.

And yay, you like my fic! :D

I don't know why, but this hit me in such a way that I cried, and my heart hurt a little. It really shouldn't of- I'm usually not that upset over things, and I don't cry easy, but this absolutely so stunning that I felt like I was the one taking to dive.

It was gorgeous.

I can't wait to see who you are... because you're absolutely wonderful.

I can only hope that this will strike some one as hard as it did me, because it is just so spectacular to find something that will make you feel some thing that strongly.

So, onto what I liked about it rather than just gushing praise.

- I absolutely adore how you took the request and got the title that way. I was immediately hooked.

- I liked the poetic style and the breaks.

-And of course "I'll fall with you." prettiest ending imaginable.

To know that you cried at least comforts me that it's effective in some way. When I finished writing this and re-read the entire thing, I felt as though it was a bit dull and was definitely worried that readers wouldn't like it -- even a little bit, which was very much disconcerting.

Thank you so, so, SO much. Really, reviews like this means a lot to me because I know I've done well to a certain extent, even if I disagree. ♥ ♥

Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I am totally speechless right now.

[punchycat]

Haha, thanks!
